Willsy's Post your team thread

[GoLions]

I have 38k left. Gone weaker in the forwards as I feel you need to be quite strong in the backline with fewer rookies presenting themselves as good options at this stage. Gunston at F3 as he averaged around 95-96 unsubbed last year from what I heard, and his average in his 6 games or so without Buddy was around 110 IIRC. If NicNat isn't fit round 1 he will likely become Leuenberger or Lobbe. No rookies are set in stone yet, will largely come down to who is named round 1. Thanks in advance :)

Def: good defence! Maybe if you bring in a cheaper rookie for Kk or mac... You have some extra cash to play around with that way, like you said they're not set in stone so change them to get a Premo team you like. Mitchell is good, Thompson too, I'd go to Hanley from Simpson it's worth the extra 3k. 8.5/10

Mid: first two good, I'd consider Rockliff up to Watson... 10k well spent IMO. Rest of this line is good, 8/10

Ruc: normal line here, I'd go Berger over nic nat even if nic nat is fit, 8/10

Fwd: you only really have 2 100% keepers here... Gunston isn't really reliable... Breust, pav, Zorko and Motlop are probably better options. Maybe look to get Fasolo, Rohan, Bock/lamb at f4/5/6 then atleast you have someone sorta reliable. 6.5/10

31/40

Yeah might end up downgrading one of my rookies, although will depend if any other back rookies are named or not  :-\
Not keen on Hanley as he'll cop the 2nd tag at Brisbane just about every week. This also leads to my choice of Rockliff, as he'll be allowed to run riot most weeks and won't be played forward as we picked up a number of forwards in the trade and draft period. In the midfield he averages the 3rd most disposals in the league :)
I kid you not, I took Leuey out of my team about 10 minutes before posting this, had him in my team for about 2 months haha
I had Pav for a while but swapped him for Gunston. He's one of my POD breakout contenders so I'm taking the risk on him. If players like Clark, Higgins, Fasolo etc. are named round 1 I'll probably start them :)

Cheers for the advice mate  :D

[robbieGTS]

can you rate my team mate, im seriosuly liking my coverage with out ablett starting!

[willsy13]

BACK: Mitchell; Shaw; Hanley; Sucking; Kolodjashnij; McDonald; (Fuller; Battersby)

MID: Ablett jnr; Griffen; Watson; Fyfe; Beams; Martin; Michie; Ellis; (Dunstan; Honeychurch)

RUCK: Leuenberger; Sandilands; (Nankervis; Holmes)

FWD: Dangerfield; Martin; Franklin; Gray; Lennon; Taylor; (Garlett; Impey)

Let me know your thoughts. Obviously subject to change dependent on NAB cup, but give me a rough idea on how its shaping up :) Cheers

Hey mate,

Def: Shaw good pod suckling at d4 is a little light. Watch how Kk plays in nab cup, I don't think he's ready for the big league yet. Good selections here 7.5/10
Mid: I like your first 3 pick! Griffen good pod! but I'm not selecting any freo players that I'll keep... Considering what Ross Lyon did last year so I'd stear clear of Fyfe... Get him down to Murphy, Shuey, Thomas or savage perhaps. Still solid here 8.5/10
Ruc: the normal here, I do like Leuenberger this year he's reaching that age where he could go boom! 8.5/10
Fwd: no problems for first 3! I too have looked at gray and I think there are better options around his price! That's just my opinion! Consider Lennon to Rohan also... Not much of a way in for Lennon ATM! 8/10

32.5/40

[willsy13]

Hey there Willsy! Appreciating the work you are doing on this thread!
Here is my side:

def: McVeigh, Mitchell, Hanley, Swallow, Suckling, K.Kolodashnij   (Cutler, Fuller)
mid: Ablett (C), Swan (VC), Rockliff, D.Beams, D.Thomas, J.Martin, L.McDonald (DEF), C.Beams   (Dunstan, Honeychurch (FWD))
ruck: Naitanui, Sandilands   (Thurlow(FWD), Nankervis)
fwd: Dangerfield, Dixon(RUCK), Franklin, Gunston, L.Taylor, D.Garlett   (Harris-Kennedy, Impey)

cash left $13,700

Once again, appreciate your work :D

G'day n.perera,

Def: one of the best defences I've seen! McDonald missing though IMO... 9.5/10
Mid: good line here! I'd go Selwood over swan though and also Watson over Rockliff but that's a personal choice. Beams and Thomas is a popular combo! 8.5/10
Ruc: don't think I've seen this combo before  ;)!!! 8/10
Fwd: Interesting having 3 tallls there, they have less consistent scores compared to mid fwds... I think you should look for a way to get chappy for gunno... Chapman will do what Goddard did last year! 7.5/10 here.

33.5/40

not sure about boyd swallow

Alright Carlton,

You should probably spend that cash! But I'll rate it!
Def: very light on here, starting to have some doubts on suckling... Still good player selections 8/10
Mid: seen the Ablett, Pendles, cotch, beams and daisy combo around it's a quality combo! 8.5/10
Ruc: good rucks loving Leuy not that I have him though! 8.5/10
Fwd: with that extra cash I'd look to fix this line up! Fasolo, caddy, Kennedy-Harris, chappy, Zorko are the guys I'd look to select here! Garlett aswell! Still some good selections... I don't think that tall fwds should be selected this year (those that are Premo's). 7/10

32/40

[willsy13]

can you rate my team mate, im seriosuly liking my coverage with out ablett starting!

G'day Robbie,

Def: really strong I'd prefer Hanley over Simpson even though I have both. Watch Docherty in preseason he could be a better pick than suckling! 9/10
Mid: Good picks here! I'd have Watson over rocky... Given rocky has hard draw! Rest is fine 8.5/10
Ruc: very safe rucks and similar to others 8/10
Fwd: really good fwd line!! Top notch just remember that Rioli is suspended r1 if you have coverage I'd keep him in though! 9/10

Great team mate! 34.5/40 best team I've rated I think

Thanks mate I've made a few changes now to find some more star power and rookies are definitely reliant on NAB cup. Love your work mate! really appreciate the feedback  :)

BACK: McVeigh, Mitchell, Hanley, Hurn, Suckling, McDonald, (Fuller, Battersby)
MID: Ablett, Rockliff, Cotchin, Sloane, Beams, Martin, Michie, Sheed, (Dunstan, Honeychurch)
RUCK: Leuenberger, Sandilands, (Nankervis, Holmes)
FWD: Dangerfield, Martin, Franklin, Clark, Taylor, Garlett, (Impey, Kennedy-Harris)
$300 in the bank... theres just such so many decisions to be made, really hoping the weeks upcoming will give a better insight into potential form and rookies  ::)

Def: solid here Shaw is a good pod I think we may see him play midfield this year... If not still gun. Interested to see Kk, not much of a rap for him... 7.5/10
Mid: I like it Thomas is interesting IMO, hopefully he's fit for 2nd nab cup match! Rest is fine 8.5/10
Ruc: if nicnat stays fit gun. Lobbe is inbetween prices... Either go someone under 400k or someone above 500k. Inbetween is really too risky if Lobbe fails because it'll be round 4/5 before it comes clear and by then all the MidPricers are 400k and so is Lobbe. 8/10 still.
Fwd: good although I think dusty is done if he plays half back. The position just doesn't suit him. Roughy and caddy good also! Lacking a little herE! 7.5/10

31.5/10

G'day Jmarshall,

Def: good maybe suckling could become someone else... His nab cup match wasn't convincing in fact well below. No Sam Mitchell risky aswell. 8/10
Mid: maybe a little too much here..? Murphy or Thomas to Polec or someone cheap? Still a beast line 8.5/10
Ruc: watch Lobbe today he has to smash whoever is in the ruck for the crows to be near selection.  7.5/10
Fwd: not strong here as you pointed out! Watch Impey today see where they use him, if midfield then he's more than likely a lock. Solid selections her but weak. 7/10

31/40

Alright KB let's have a look.

Def: somewhat crazy defence but hibberd and Thompson are good picks! I'd want McVeigh/Mitchell in for houli to make it a little safer! 7.5/10
Mid: obviously cash generation importan but if you going to go 4 Premo's then you need Ablett Pendles 1&2. Ziebell good pick although nab cup form could be slightly misleading... 8/10
Ruc: Nicnat Nd McEvoy is a terrible risky ruck...! You're almost better off going Minson/ Goldstein and Grundy IMO.... McEvoy is better for hawthorn not Supercoach! 8/10
Fwd: even forward line not particularly safe... Maybe a chapman is a better pick than Gunston... Still strong line though 8.5/10.
32/40
I'd work on getting a balanced team between safe and risk... Just much too risky at the moment.
