Ask Ziplock Pre-season

Ask me anything and I'll give you an answer. Preferably dreamteam related, but not necessarily :P

I can't promise I'll be right, but I can promise that I'll have something to say :P

Nice!

Basically, Heppell and Sylvia v Broughton and Wright?

Heppell and Sylvia. I'm not a big Wright fan, Sylvia is significantly underpriced and can/ will average around the 90-95 mark at minimum, while Heppell's coming into his third year and had a slight point increase last year- I can see him going up into premium range very easily.

On the flip side, Wright's a small forward, so prone to super inconsistencies and doesn't have the build to play huge midfield time... it's hard to pick when he has good games as well, his consistency is all over the shop, having sub-80 games even against gws/ gc.

I like broughton, but he's no certainty for premium scores even at GC :P

so yeah, Heppell + Sylvia

Most teams have Crouch, O'Meara and Viney as their rookie mids. What other rookie mids should we look at??

SydneyRox · February 04, 2013, 04:25:13 PM

How much is that doggy in the window??

Capper · February 04, 2013, 04:27:40 PM

Also, do the chicks like the new haircut??

Another one for you, Zip. Should I downgrade Embley (M6) to Wines and then upgrade Goldstein to any ruckman I want or keep it how it is?

So Goldy + Embley v Wines + Any ruckman (probably Cox or Maric)

The_Captain · February 04, 2013, 04:29:35 PM

OK Zippy. How many universeres are there? :P ahha na kidding.

Seriosuly but.. Who will average more in your opinion, Grimes or Duffy?

Is the nab cup a good indicator of the mid-pricers and rookies we choose to start in our round 1 outfit? Or is it just fantasy coaches jumping at the first sight of live footy in 6 months?

Basically, how much notice should we take of scores in the nab? :)

at this point, those 3 are looking like must haves. If you have the extra cash, whitfield and wines could be worth the punt. Kane mitchell if he gets upgraded, same with kyle martin and jake llyod, all had some huge b-grade averages. Tom Mitchell, Towers if named round one, colquhoun for a dpp link, Hunter...

all comes down to who gets named :P

there's an infinite number of possible univi (new plural for universes :P )

Grimes will average more, I'm tipping him for close to 100 this year. The downside is the possibility of injury- if it happens at training/ mid week, no problem with infinite trades. If he does it mid game though on like 10 points, you're going to be pissed. That being said, I'm tipping duffield for a top 5 defence finish this year, I'd be going for him at this stage personally.
