SC 2015 Rico's Boys

[fasttrack13]

Yeh I've definitely reverted back to the original but now trying a few different things...


which includes Krooz at R1, Leuey at R2 and Belly at F5

Interested to see man, what does that team look like with those players in that position? Kreuz at R1, Leuey at R2

Agreed

Changed it a little to something like this.



Comparing it to the other team means its NicNat vs Bennell really. Which I'm not sold on tbh

Really like this side, only thing I don't really like is the rucks as you have no cover at all for 2 injury prone rucks, as a Carlton supporter I love Kreuzer and think he can easily go 100+ but in saying that both rucks are injury prone and you have no cover and I just don't like the chances of them both staying 100% fit.

Apart from that it is a good side.

would love your thoughts on mine.

Ok pretty set on this again after trying a few differrent things



Notes
- Rookies are just placeholders atm. Have enough cash to upgrade some of them and Colq at 188k could be downgraded for more cash.
- Was tossing up between Walker and Hurn. Hurn has a better bye and Walker has had a slightly interrupted preseason. Need to monitor him. I'm all over Lumumba now, so he has come in.
- In terms of premo keepers (+ Krooz and Belly whoc ould be keepers or will hang onto until all rookies are upgraded) my bye structure is 5/4/6 which is better than before.
- Would really love to get Bennell in there somewhere consider how good his run is up to his bye. If a rookie ruck pops up then I'll upgrade Belly to him

Earlier Notes to Keep in Mind
- Other fwds to consider were Jack Steele, Caleb Daniel, Markworth, Sylvia (206k), Membrey, Blease, Petracca, MMcGovern, Lecras, JThomas, etc. Add in Staker and Garlett at around the 200-250k
- Other mids to consider were Heeney, Rich, Waterman, Stretch, Boekhorst, Cavka, Vanderberg, Anderson, Cockatoo, O'Rourke, Cripps, Newton, Acres, etc (main concern is Heeney's JS, but I think he'll surprise a few and play)
- Real focus on Guns N Rooks this year
- strongly considering HBennell, DMart, Ziebell up fwd and Krooz in the rucks.

Defence is alright, no Newnes comparing to a lot of teams could be a good go. Lubumbashi is interesting...
LOVE the midfield almost identical to mine in the top 6.
Rucks I'm not a huge fan of but Kreuzberg will make cash and that's all that matters.
Forwards look slightly light on.

It's a v solid team, not sure what you could use that cash in. Not enough there to make any significant changes...

[Money Shot]

Great side mate!
Cant really fault it and love to see some cash left over!

Hurn + Cockatoo to Ibbo + JSteven

I'd still go with the first option man.

You'd be kicking yourself if Ibbo and Steven turn out not to be keepers meaning you gotta burn trades. At least with the first option you get a keeper and a very highly rated gun rookie.

With Hurn tho, I am a massive fan and reckon he is a gun. But I'm hesitant because his body lets him down, hasn't played 22 in a couple of seasons and single-handedly killed my season last year. :P

Would prefer Birchall or Walker obviously if he is fit.

Rest of the team looks great, so good that you've got Rocky in there. I want him really bad but the 100k to go to a Ward/JPK/Barlow was too tempting for me. Especially when there is potential to be only a 5 point difference between them.

Pretty much said it all.

cheers legend, if I can find 10k I can instead look at Hurn + NVB into Cotchin + Ibbo which is a lot more tempting. As much as I like Hurn it would be roughly 90 + 80 vs 110 + 80 which is huge. Plus im more confident on Cotchin being a keeper.

Yeh man have been all over Walker this preseaon, but this setback has put me off for now.

I think you need a premo at M5, that to me is critical. Most teams that don't, have Clark at F6, I think you're over exposing yourself to rookies.

Most haven't gone with 4x 120+ premos in the middle though. Don't get me wrong, I am definitely looking to find a way to get Cotch in at M5 but won't drop Ablett, Rocky, Jelwood or Pendles.

I think it's possible to do that and I would recommend it, I think your 3 high end mid rookies could be a source of income. I also think you could downgrade one of Simpson, Shaw or Hurn to a mid pricer, this will get you very close to the 540k.

But then you make the backline weak as flower.

Hurn vs Ibbotson is about 10 points difference, Cotch vs an M8 rookie could be 40-50 points. It's also not detrimental on the trade front, Cotch is a keeper and should manage 105-110 and become a season's end M8. Hurn comes with more question marks in my opinion.
