RaisyDaisy's Preseason Team Thread

[hawkers65]

Surprised as an Eagles man RD you have not considered Priddis for your mids. As we know super consistent and last year he threw in a couple of big scores as well.

He definitely is an option Ringo, and I've had him over the past couple of years but I have always grabbed him later in the season. Might be a great POD to start with this year and is in the mix for that starting M4 spot alongside Sloane, Griffen, Cotchin and Ward

Being a WCE fan is irrelevant though - I don't let my love for WCE impact my SC :)

Yeah for me at least if anything i feel being a mad hawks fan has made me steer away a bit from some popular Hawks picks in the past. I dont know why but its just how it is. Dont like having bias within supercoach :) And as for Priddis he is just one of those guys that are barely rated or even thought about amongst the elite. He has averaged over 100 for the past 7 years even with consistent subbed out scores that drop his average heavily. The problem is, at that price you would want to be paying for someone who could average better then their last year or up amongst the elite and at almost 30 and coming off a career best season for an average of only 112 i just cant find a reason to pick him

[RaisyDaisy]

That's pretty much why I didn't have Priddis in my short list to begin with Hawkers :)

I love him so much, and would be more than happy to get him sometime during the season, but he is priced at a 112 and I don't think he can really push that much higher, so I'd like to look at him as an upgrade target later in the season

Ward: Averaged 117 taking out injury affected matches. Was tagged also. Griffen taking that off him I expect 120+

I was one of the lucky ones who got on Ward really early last year and he was my best pick of the year. So consistent and just built for SC. I'm every chance of starting him just because he was so good to me last year :)

[fasttrack13]

Yeah I too got him in after his bye where he had his Ablett like run! another thing is he gets a few hitouts here and there extra points. Cherry on top I reckon!

[RaisyDaisy]

I've just made another change to M4 LOL

Ward was so damn good to me last year - he was the best pick I made so I'm going with him again for now

Sloane out - Ward in

DEF: Kade Simpson, Brodie Smith, Michael Hibberd, Shannon Hurn, Beau Waters, Brendan Whitecross (Matthew Dick, Harrison Wigg)

MID: Gary Ablett, Scott Pendlebury, Joel Selwood, Callan Ward, Jobe Watson, Isaac Heeney, Aaron Vandenberg, Nathan Freeman (Jack Steele, Alex Neal-Bullen, Kane Lambert)

FWD: Brett Deledio, Lance Franklin, Dane Swan, Tom Bellchambers, Mitch Clark, Jesse Hogan (Hugh Goddard, Nathan Krakouer)

There's 4-5 guys fighting for that M4 spot, but for now it's Ward

Bye Structure is now 8/11/11 but in terms of keepers it's 4/6/4

[fasttrack13]

Solid team no doubt.
Not 100% sure what hurns output could be.... Anywhere between 80-100 room for error.
Midfield strong! Fyfe over Pendles for me but that's my opinion.
Ruck and forwards is interesting, I myself see you upgrading Leuenberger at some point through the year 95 ave at best?
Why not downgrade Bellchambers and upgrade leuy and make r2/r1 whichever you get 100% one of those top guys.
Chances are you'll score the same if not more but easily make more $$

That means I need to field a rookie at F4 and have no ruck cover

Great team RD
I think Sloane will improve this year again.
Just a gut elite runner.
Danger will get 1st tag.
Sloane and Ward both good though.

[fasttrack13]

No Ruck cover with set and forget rucks is fine, worth burning a trade for. You have 13 other premium keepers! If you were going a mid price team then trades can't be waisted.
Clark, Hogan will score enough times between 75-90 to make up for that.

Really think you need the ruck cover this year. You can't trade a premium out everytime they miss a week - It's just not a good use of a trade.

Definitely need playing cover imo.

This is a damn good team can't fault a thing.
Almost making me reconsider my team.

Yeah a great spread.
I'm still not going to spend that much in defense.
But the 4 you have picked RD are the 4 I would have.
Simmo to afford  BJ could be an option.

Can't afford to waiste cash which belly is. There will be 1 rookie by the start anyway, if not im willing to risk it.
