Rico's Advice Thread

[NickyBoy]

DEF:S.Mitchell, P.Hanley, C.Enright, S.Hurn, M.Suckling, L.Mcdonald (A.Georgiou, T.Langdon)
MIDS:G.Ablett, R.Sloane, T.Liberatore, N.Fyfe, D.Beams, V.Michie, X.Eliis, L.Dunstan (D.Wanganeen, C.Ellis-Yolmen)
RUCKS:B.Mcevoy, A.Sandilands (F.Thurlow, T.Nankevis)
FWDS:P.Dangerfield, N.Riewoldt, J.Roughhead, S.Higgins, A.Fasolo, JKH (M.Honeychurch, L.Mccarthy)

Salary remaining: $34,900

I'm very concerned with the FWD line. Not sure if I should downgrade rough & Mcevoy to upgrade Fasolo.

DEF Solid line mate. Mitchell, Hanley, Enright, Hurn and Suckers are good picks. And your rookies are fine at this stage. Not much wrong here.

MIDS Some interesting PODs here. Ablett and DBeams are great picks. Do you think Sloane, Libba and Fyfe can become top 10 picks? Because I think your missing out on the value of underpriced proven performers like Cotchin, Rockliff and MMurphy here. If you do thin these PODs can go there then back your gut though. For your rookies you need to consider Sheed, Tyson and Polec though.

RUCKS Nothing wrong with this line. It will be interesting to see how McEvoy goes but Sandi is great value.

FWDS Yeh we need to fix the tail end of this line. Look at some value picks like Caddy, Buddy, Rohan because I think your a bit top heavy here which means your tail is quite weak. Fasolo is fringe 22 and a big vest candidate also.

Thanks for the help, I've made some changes to the team

Love your work mate. When you have time could you please have a look at my team!

Backs: S. Mitchell, S. Thompson, J. Grimes, M. Suckling, R. Shaw, L. McDonald.
Bench: J. Laidler, A. Georgiou

Mids: G. Ablett, J. Watson, T. Liberatore, D. Beams, D. Thomas, J. Martin J. Polec, X. Ellis.
Bench:  M. Crouch, L. Dunstan 

Ruck: Luenberger, A. Sandilands.

Bench: G. Rohan, Impey 

$2,900 left in the bank.

Any advice welcome! Thanks for your time!

DEF Mitchell is a great top end pick mate.  Only concern I have with Thompson is picking a player after his first big breakout year. He has averaged 80s before but never this close to 100. Still he is a solid pick based on last years performance, just be careful there. Grimes is good value. There are whispers he may be used as a lock down defender though so be careful. I'm not a massive fan of RShaw tbh mate. In the last 5 years he has only averaged over 73 once. I'd definitely look to upgrade here.

MIDS Pretty solid. Be careful with Libba though. Not many players can back up a breakout year. GaJ, Watson, DBeams and Daisy are great picks though. And your rookies a find. Also consider Michie and Tyson though.

RUCKS Becoming a more and more popular combo here. Leuey will be solid and Sand is great value.

FWDS Not much wrong with this line mate. Danger and Martin are great top end picks and both Buddy and Pav are underpriced proven performers. Caddy is great value and your rookies are fine.

I've re structured my back line a fair bit. Let me know what you think about these trades, love your advice and this thread. Thanks champ.
Thompson out - enright in
Grimes out - duffield in
Shaw out - David swallow in

Libba out- Marc Murphy in

I'm not real sure if that leaves my midfield a bit weak, and also haven't done much research on the back line players. Your advice means a lot!

[Gil Gunderson]

Thoughts on my latest side mate?


Mitchell, Mcveigh, Hanley, Swallow, Suckling, McDonald
Langdon, Georgiou

Ablett, Swan, Cotchin, Beams, Macrae, Tyson, Polec, Ellis
Dunstan, Crouch

Leuenberger, Sandilands
Currie, Derickx

Dangerfield, Martin, Zorko, Caddy, Higgins, Rohan
JKH, Impey

$1,600

[Sundown24]

Adjusted from a previous idea:

DEF: Mitchell, Hanley, Enright, Suckling, L.McDonald, B.Martin (Clurey, Langdon)

MID: Ablett, Cotchin, Dal Santo, Murphy, Beams, Tyson, Michie, Polec (Dunstan, M.Crouch)

RUCK: Leuey, Sandilands (Currie, Thurlow)

FWD: Dangerfield, Martin, Pavlich, Caddy, Higgins, B.Kennedy (Rohan, Kennedy-Harris)

CASH: $137,900

Not sure what to do with the cash, but feel like I don't want to risk Higgins. My DEF is certainly my weakest line, but will be where I first upgrade, would love D.Swallow back there.

[Jay]

Would love a bit of an analysis mate. Love your work. :)

what u think ric!?

Hey mate,

DEF Looks solid. I love the Hurn pick mate. I have him as well. Underpriced and should have been priced at a 95 average last year if it wasn't for his vest. For your rookies also consider Langford.

MIDS Some great top end pricks here in GaJ, Pendles and Watson. Beams is underpriced also. Instead of Kelly look at Tyson or JMartin. Also how much cash do you have left? Really think that DThomas or LShiels need to be considered.

RUCKS Becoming a very popular combo now. Nothing wrong here.

FWDS Danger, Martin and Buddy are great picks. IFor Gunston to be a viable starting pick and 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. The rest of your fwds are fine.


Not much wrong here tbh mate. Nice team

[Ricochet]

Hi, Rico.   Should i go team 1 or 2? Differences will be bolded.
Team 1
DEF: Mcveigh. Mitchell, Enright, Suckling, Webster, Clurey (Langford, Georgiou)
MID: Ablett, Pendles, Watson, Rockliff, Beams, Polec, Ellis, Dunstan (Robertson, Crouch)
RUC: Leuenberger, Sandilands (Derickx, King)
FWD: Dangerfield, Martin, Gunston, Caddy, Higgins, Rohan (JKH, Impey)
31k in the bank.
Team 2
DEF: Mcveigh. Mitchell, Enright, Suckling, Hurn, Mcdonald (Langford, Georgiou)
MID: Ablett, Pendles, Thomas, Rockliff, Beams, Polec, Ellis, Dunstan (Robertson, Crouch)
RUC: Leuenberger, Sandilands (Derickx, King)
FWD: Dangerfield, Martin, Gunston, Caddy, Higgins, Rohan (JKH, Impey)

1.9K in the bank.    Which team is better?

OK so

Webster + Clurey + Watson vs Hurn + McDonald + Thomas

I like the second tbh mate. Hurn is priced at an 87 average but was going at a 95 average before his sub affected last game. He is also primed to get pushed up the ground a bit more. He smashed Webster here. Clurey v McDonald is pretty even tbh. Maybe go Langdon over McDonald for tonights game. And Watson beats Thomas but Daisy is so underpriced he will make you heaps of cash.

Definitely #2 mate

[Ricochet]

DEF:S.Mitchell, P.Hanley, C.Enright, S.Hurn, M.Suckling, L.Mcdonald (A.Georgiou, T.Langdon)
MIDS:G.Ablett, R.Sloane, T.Liberatore, N.Fyfe, D.Beams, V.Michie, X.Eliis, L.Dunstan (D.Wanganeen, C.Ellis-Yolmen)
RUCKS:B.Mcevoy, A.Sandilands (F.Thurlow, T.Nankevis)

So changes are

I like it mate. Great changes

Love those changes except for Duffield man. He used to be gold but he plays too many lock down roles now. His role will change week to week. In the backline consider Hanley, Simpson, Birchall, Hurn.

Other than that it looks good mate

[Ricochet]

Thoughts on my latest side mate?


Mitchell, Mcveigh, Hanley, Swallow, Suckling, McDonald
Langdon, Georgiou

Ablett, Swan, Cotchin, Beams, Macrae, Tyson, Polec, Ellis
Dunstan, Crouch

Leuenberger, Sandilands
Currie, Derickx

Dangerfield, Martin, Zorko, Caddy, Higgins, Rohan
JKH, Impey

$1,600

DEF Solid all the way through mate. Good top end picks and some nice underpricers. Like your Swallow pick and rookies are fine.

MIDS Again some good top end picks. Maybe instead of Macrae look at Daisy as he is more proven and established. Your rookies are fine.

RUCKS A common ruck combo now. Nice line, nothing wrong here.

FWDS Danger and Martin are great picks and both Caddy and Higgins are underpriced. I'm not sold on Zorko though. You can see my thoughts on him in the opening post here

[Ricochet]

Adjusted from a previous idea:

DEF: Mitchell, Hanley, Enright, Suckling, L.McDonald, B.Martin (Clurey, Langdon)

MID: Ablett, Cotchin, Dal Santo, Murphy, Beams, Tyson, Michie, Polec (Dunstan, M.Crouch)

RUCK: Leuey, Sandilands (Currie, Thurlow)

FWD: Dangerfield, Martin, Pavlich, Caddy, Higgins, B.Kennedy (Rohan, Kennedy-Harris)

CASH: $137,900

Not sure what to do with the cash, but feel like I don't want to risk Higgins. My DEF is certainly my weakest line, but will be where I first upgrade, would love D.Swallow back there.

I would keep the cash mate. Your Defence is a little weak with LMac and Martin on the field but you sound like you've considered the risks. If you want you could go Dal Santo down to Daisy and then upgrade LMac. The rest of your team is fine though
