Rico's Advice Thread

[Ricochet]

Backs:  J. McVeigh, S. Thompson, M. Hibberd, D. Swallow, M. Suckling, L. McDonald (T.Cutler, M. Fuller)
Mids: G. Ablett, S. Pendlebury, T. Cotchin, M. Murphy, D. Beams, D. Thomas, J. Martin, V. Michie (L. Dunstan, D. Garlett)
Rucks: M. Lobbe, A. Sandilans (F. Thurlow, T. Nankervis)
Fwds: P. Dangerfield, L. Franklin, M. Pavlich, A. Fasolo, G. Rohan, J. Impey (M. Honeychurch, J. Kennedy-Harris)


I think my Forward needs some work on it for my team to be complete. Let me know what you think of the team! Cheers! :)

DEF: Keep an eye on Thompson mate. I tend to stay away from guys that are backing up a premo breakout year. Especially fullbacks. Hibberd is slightly different being a running defender so I don't mind this pick. Swallow is primed for a breakout year and Suckers is great value. Your rookies are fine also.

MIDS: A strong line with a good mix of top end premos and value. Cotchin, MMurphy, Beams and Daisy are all under priced proven players. Your rookies are very strong also.

RUCKS: Sandi is a great pick but not a fan of Lobbe. Check my opening post here for my reasons. Good rookies.

FWDS: Again you have a good mix of Top End premos in Danger and under priced proven premos in Buddy and Pav. Fasolo and Rohan are great value also. I would also consdier Higgins/Clark/Lamb/Bock if fit.

Fwd line does look weak but that is where the value is this year man so I'm fine with it. Might need to look at going impey to one of those 200k proven players with solid Job Security but other than that its fine.

Alright sounds good!!! Got any idea who I should trade in for Thompson, so I can get some cash to fit Higgins in my Fwd!? Cheers mate!

Do you have any cash left over mate?

Nah only like 6k! :/ so in a bit of trouble there!?

Haha yeh man a little bit. Maybe Thompson to Birchall and Pendles to Watson/Rockliff.

RUCK: Naitanui, Sandilands (thurow, nankervis)

FWD: Dangerfield, Martin, Franklin, Pavlich, Lamb, Rohan (honeycrunch, Impey)

DEF: Quite unique with both Swallow and Yeo in there. A little risky imo with Yeo needing to lift his average to 80+ to make you 100k but it could definitely pay off. Just keep an eye on him today as both WCE and Freo have named decent sides so it should give you an indication of where he is at. Otherwise a pretty good line here.

MIDS: A good mix of top end premo's (Ablett and Pendles) along with underpriced proven stars (Murphy, Beams, Thomas). Your rookies are fine as well. Keep an eye on Garlett though, at this stage he is behind Hartung at the Hawks. Also consider Ellis.

RUCKS: The best combo imo. Same as mine.

FWDS: I like this line a lot. Another good mix of top end premos and underpricers. Overrall one of the better teams I've seen mate. Well done.

DEF: Have mentioned previously that I am far from a fan of fielding two rookies in defence this year. Most teams will only field one at D6 as the pool for rookie defenders is very thin this year. I recommend upgrading one here. Otherwise I really like Mitchell, McVeigh, Hurn and Suckers.

MIDS: A good combo of top end picks and under priced proven premos with Ablett, Pendles, Cotch, Beams and Thomas. As for your rookies, keep an eye on Taylor as he has had an injury interrupted preseason and Garlett is behind Hartung at the Hawks at this stage. Consider Ellis as well.

RUCKS: Leuey will be a nice POD and Sandi is great value at that price. A nice combo.

FWDS: Danger, Martin and Buddy are all great picks but I'm not a huge fan of the Gunston pick. At an 83ave from last year he will have to average 100 to a) be a top end premo and b) make you some decent cash. If you can see him doing that then jump on but if not it's not such a big deal if you don't start with him and jump on him later. He won't go up too much in price. I'd probably prefer to jump on some value picks instead. Guys like Caddy, Higgins, Lamb are all great value and will make you a heap of cash. There is heaps of value in the fwd line this year.

DEF: Just gonna copy what I mentioned above here. I am far from a fan of fielding two rookies in defence this year. Most teams will only field one at D6 as the pool for rookie defenders is very thin this year. I recommend upgrading one here. Mitchell, Hibberd, Hanley and Suckers are fine though, with a nice POD there in Hibberd.

MIDS: Again, another good mix of proven top end premos and value.  Murphy, Beams and Thomas are all underpriced. Is that right with Duncan on your bench?? Or should it be Dunstan? Garlett is behind Hartung at this stage at the Hawks so keep an eye on him. Also consider Ellis.

RUCKS: The best combo imo. Same as mine

FWDS: Quite strong mate. Also consider some of the cheap value thats around in the fwd line this year in Higgins, Lamb, Rohan, Fasolo, Bock, etc. And keep and eye on your rookies. Kersten should be one to consider and should be right for round 1.

Pavlich easily mate, or Chappy but Chappy will get rested at times this year. I'll have a look at your team now

[felsty]

Hey Rico, think I'm on to something here. What do you think?

D: McVeigh, Mitchell, H.Shaw, Swallow, McDonald, Fuller (Laidler, Thompson)
M: Ablett, Pendlebury, Rockliff, Beams, Thomas, Polec, Michie, Sheed (Dunstan, Crouch)
R: Grundy, Sandilands (Derickx, Nankervis)
F: Dangerfield, Martin, Franklin, Zorko, Hawkins, Kennedy-Harris (Garlett, Colledge)
$31.2k left

Few notes

• Not sold on a few players - Swallow, Zorko - but have contingencies in place
• Zorko will go to Parker
• Swallow will go to Suckling - chances are this will happen anyway to give myself some $$$ if need be
• Dont know much about Colledge apart from having a good intraclub so will change

Hey mate, lets have a look.

DEF: I like Shaw as a POD but there is uncertainty as to how he will go at a much weaker club. At his price you could easily not start with him and upgrade to him if he kills it and you won't lose out on much. Swallow looks prime for a breakout. No Suckling though? I don't like fielding two rookies in defence this year. Most teams will only field one at D6 as the pool for rookie defenders is very thin this year. I recommend upgrading one to Suckling.

MIDS: Can't really fault this line mate. Consider Ellis as a rookie though and also JMartin. Your premos and underpriced players are perfect.

RUCKS: I'm not a fan of Grundy this year and you can see my thoughts on him in the Opening Post here. Sandi is great value though.

FWDS: Love Danger, Martin and Buddy along with a nice POD in Hawkins. If his back doesn't play up and he moves as well as he did the other night he could return to his best. Not a fan of Zorko, again my thoughts on him in the Opening Post here. I'd look at Caddy as a cheap replacement. As for your rookies, Garlett is behind Hartung at the Hawks so I would consider Kersten, Rohan, McCarthy.

Hey mate, here's my team at the moment, just wanted your thoughts.

[maygs]

Hi Rico.  When you get a chance I would appreciate some feedback on my team.

BACKS:
Mitchell (MID), Thompson, Hanley(MID), Suckling, A. Toovey, KK   (McDonald(MID), J. Taylor)

MIDS:
Ablett, Pendlebury, Beams, Rich, Thomas, Martin, Aish, Polec   (Langdon (Def), Garlett(FWD))

RUCKS:
Leuenberger, Sandilands  (C. Wood, Nankervis)

FWDS:
Dangerfield, Roughhead, Franklin, Zorko(MID), Hogan, L. Taylor  (Kennedy-Harris, Honeychurch(MID))

$10,600 left.

Backs - not convinced re Toovey, but seems most reliable I can find for around the $300k mark

Mids - pretty happy with the balance.  Whilst I take on board the likelihood of Rich being tagged (who of his quality is not likely to be tagged?), I am expecting him to take on a more running roll with Black moving on (suspect that Rocky will take on the ball getting and direction changing role with Rich, Redden and Green running through the middle - we'll see.)  Langdon played a good NAB, but I realise that he has to push either Harry O or Maxwell out to get regular games -= again we'll see.

Rucks - back to my original crew

Fwds - I'm still torn with Franklin/Tippett and Roughhead/Gunstan.

Any comments will be welcomed.  Thanks
