2014 Lock Ins ?

[HotTiges]

HMac always gets injured.. I'd get a more reliable ruck combo

[BoredSaint]

my man T. Mac (Trent Mckenzie)  :D

[Holz]

HMac is a tough one having played so little games over such a long time. If he tears it up or shows some good in the preseason, I'll pick him up.

becareful of preseason form a few of us learnt that this year aka KARNEZIS

Hmac is a proven player though he just needs to get out on the park.

Hmac is a proven player though he just needs to get out on the park.

And worst case you can just use him as a stepping stone if he does get injured mid year

[Jesty]

Bulldogs looked surprisingly good last week. Few good up and comers in there too. That dollhouse kid looks promising.

[Vinny]

After some more thinking for the hundredth time. :P

D- Walker Mitchell Hanley Mckenzie
M- Ablett Pendles Beams Jack Murphy
R- Kreuzer HMac
F- Rocky NicNat and Danger if DPP.

Not sure what that would cost roughly but would love to know.

Surely Charlie Dixon will be Fwd/Ruck dpp next year, would you pick him?

For sure, as long as he isn't too pricey.

I love watching him play.

All depends on price. He has missed a chunk of games, but like Waite last year, he might just play enough to not get an injury discount.

He'll be Fwd/Ruck/Back

[sammy123]

depending on how cheap H-mac is. May use him on bench to get lots of money and R4 can be a ruck/fwd

There has been a lot of talk about Prestia for 2014. Is anyone locking him in for sure ?

[Mat0369]

Bye structure will come into with Prestia. If Collingwood and GC have the same bye again, I want to try and get Gaz, Ablett and Beams, by getting in Prestia as well early in the season it will hinder me. Also if Martin is a mid rookie I will be starting with him, assuming that he is going to get games. Lonergan is the other guy to look at for GC, only played a few games this year, so he might be pretty cheap and a good rookie alternative.


Also to add something, salary cap will come into the equation.This year I started with 4 premium mids, 1 mid priced option in Moloney and the rest was rookies. A couple of them were bottom end premium priced players in Jack and Murphy, assuming I am going to spread my cash around the same, it is going to be difficult to get all these guys into my starting lineup. I would rather pass on Prestia at this point

He along with Libba and Steven might get a look in, in a few teams, very risky though, went for a bit more of a risk this year and it didn't pay off at all, so i've decided to go the full Premo's/Rookies strategy for next year (Excluding maybe a discounted Suckers or H-Mac)

These is how i imagine my team shaping up like:

Walker, Mitchell, McVeigh/Simpson, Suckers
Ablett, Pendles, Beams, Cotchin/Murphy, Jack
NicNat, H-Mac
Rocky, Danger, Wingard

[Vinny]

Haha Hawkers almost identical to mine and as a Blues supporter was seriously looking at Simpson but could age get to the man.

Hmm Yes Matt- What premium structure will people look at starting with next year ?
