Jukes' Annual Feedback and Analysis Thread

[Jukes]

Ok so I guess you have heard about the change for rnd 1???? After rnd 1 unlimited trades so now teams are turned on there heads for the 1st round to chase points then real team kicks in rnd2 first round points count towards years total with that in mind here is the first crack , a pity joey is suspended rnd 1

TEAM NAME: goyougoodthing71
DEF: J. McVeigh, S. Mitchell, H. Shaw, M. Scharenberg, M. Buntine, T. Simpkin (C. Howard, J. Laidler)
MID: S. Johnson, G. Ablett jnr, S. Selwood, J. Steven, M. Priddis, T. Curren, J. Martin, V. Michie (J. Polec, X. Ellis)
RUC: Z. Clarke, B. Longer (S. Naismith, D. Currie)
FWD: N. Riewoldt, L. Parker, M. LeCras, L. Franklin, J. Caddy, M. Clark (T. Banfield, G. Rohan)
CASH LEFT: $7,500

need a good start so crazy not to take advantage of teams early draw then complete reset for remainder of year

If you're smart you'll purely build your team through the pre-season for round 2, spend the last week leading to round 1 on your special r1 team, then straight after round 1 switch straight back to your long-term team and make appropriate adjustments based on the first round. I'm rating teams based on the long term, not short. In relation, I'd like people to post their long-term teams, not short.

Unique mid-pricer picks- Buntine, Simpkin, Curren, Caddy and Clarke for example. Clarke will be a gun this season imo when Sandi gets injured. Rest are probably going to be good in the cash generation.
Pretty well structured across each major line. Howard, Polec and Banfield+Rohan should provide one player a week in cover, and all of your fielded guys should be best 22- would only worry about Buntine and Simpkin.

Dislikes
G. Ablett jnr, you know the rest...
Forward line a bit weak up the top. NRoo is old, Parker and Lecca probably won't improve that far beyond 85, and Buddy still a bit risky as he's at a new club.

Ratings
D: 7.5/10 (because it only has three real premos, all are good picks)
M: 8.75/10
R: 7.75/10
F: 8.75/10
Overall: 8.35/10 a pretty good side

FWD: N. Riewoldt, P. Dangerfield, S. Motlop, A. Schneider, M. Clark, J. Patton (G. Rohan, D. Markworth)
CASH LEFT: $23,800

Rate, criticise and or compliment :3

Likes
Great midfield. Unique but will get the job done. Premos should hold or improve their average and are capable of going huge and get wins over sheep that pick the usual suspects, Barlow is a great pick for a cheap premo, Beams ofc is a jet pick and in every team, Savage should have a big year at his new club, and the four cheap/rookie-priced players are good.
Can't go wrong with Paul Seedsman in your backline :P one of the best pick-ups for 2014 imo, jet of a player and will only get better as he enters his third year (breakout?). Strong backline too aside from him. 5 premos can only help.

Dislikes
Weak in the ruck. Sandi is injury-prone- I wouldn't pick him to be on my starting two, and he's your number 1! Longer a bench option for most teams, but your number 2! If/when Sandi goes down and if Longer has to share ruck duties with Hickey, could be a position of hurt.
Schneider, Clark, Patton, Rohan, Markworth. Relying on three of these injury prone and/or plagued by job security issues to play every week early could hurt. Would watch the pre-season of these guys and similarly-priced players strongly.

Good depth across all lines. Each bench should provide a player in cover every week.
Structurally good. No gaping holes anywhere on the field that could cause strife, except when Sandi goes down.
Good forward line. No bad selections in your four premo/upper mid-pricers, although there's better options than Parker imo, and Lamb and Clark should boost in price healthily.

Dislikes
The ruckline- too risky for me. Nic Nat is coming off an injury-plagued season- shouldn't be that much a cause for concern, but with the walking bandaid Sandi backing him up...Longer not even guaranteed a start too, and might even score shower because of Hickey.

Lots of great uniques. Ibbo and Hibberd in a lot less teams than they should be, both still young and will most likely improve more compared to the old blokes who'll drop. Yeo at a new team will be a ripper if he's best 21. Winderlich will boost $$$ if he stays healthy. Savage will gun it this season imo and is very close to being in my team.
Money in the bank that'd I'd utilise straight away- remember these prices are 100% accurate! I'd look to upgrade the forward line, which I'll elaborate on soon.

Dislikes
Crazy forward line! After Buddy and Danger, it's chaos. 4 cheapies and 2 rookies who, although mostly good picks, mostly have huge JS and injury problems. This is where that cash comes into play. 300k can upgrade your worst field player to a premo, which I'd do with Fasolo to Cloke or Wingard (I think you can afford that).

Ratings
D: 9.5/10
M: 9/10
R: 9/10
F: 6.5/10- not bad selections, just chaotic if a few team selection and injuries don't go your way.
Overall: 8.5/10 very good team despite inequality between the lines.

Strong midfield, if you assume that third player is a pile of cash. Caddy very close to my side, cheap enough and with the cats clear-out I'm surprised he isn't in more teams. Strong bench too, should provide at least one if not two players of cover every week.
Seedsy great pick :D pretty good backline otherwise

Dislikes
Ablett- need not elaborate
Forward line could be a cause for concern. Two of your fielded players, Fasolo and Garlett, are not in the best 22 of their team's atm, Garlett maybe just in. This paired with Bock and Kersten (more JS problems) on the bench could hurt.

Chappy, Stants and Seedsy :D three of my top lads and locks
No real failure selections.
I don't think the defence is weak. Top 5 obviously all well into the best 21 when fit, one of Fuller and Howard should play every weak, if not both. But...

Dislikes
Yes, f6 could be a problem. Rohan, Bock and Kersten all have JS and/or injury issues, relying on one of them to play every week could hurt.
Swan over Watto, you sure? The 100k you save could upgrade Rohan to a good, cheap mid-pricer such as Patton, Billings, Hogan, or even Taylor Walker! I think. Watto will average about the same as Swan, maybe/probably a few points less but much better value.

Cheers for the feedback Jukes! Really appreciate it! I see where you're coming with Watson but I don't think i'd be able to give up Swan, I like my M1-M5 too much I don't think I would be able to get rid of any, which is probably a bad thing,

If I decided my rucks where too much, would you say keep Nic Nat or Kreuzer?

[Jukesy]

Keep Nic
