GM's AF Rating Station & Discussion Thread

[T Dog]

Hey GM, trying to field non rookie types at D5 and F5 this year. R12 a disaster but that's OK. Happy to have all the risk in one round.  Clokey is a lock at F5 before you mention it  ;)

TEAM NAME: TD's DT

DEF: J. Newnes, J. Harbrow, S. Fisher, H. Lumumba, G. Ibbotson, N. Brown (X. Richards, H. Goddard)

FWD: B. Goddard, B. Deledio, D. Swan, J. Gunston, T. Cloke, J. Hogan (M. Clark, J. Laverde)

CASH LEFT: $16,600

TD how are you buddy?
Love your strategy with mid price defense allowing you to
load up elsewhere.
Personal preference for players is really just that so go with your gut there.
Just a couple of suggestions -
Henderson in def is a watch.
Berger and Kruez is good option in AF imo if they play RD1 Which then should give you upgrade cash for another premo mid and fwd.

Thanks GM , will keep an eye on them ... my one eye...Go Pies  ;D

If you could get Rocky and Boomer , that make it awesome.
Or look at the fixtures and get Teloar and Devon Smith in early.

If I really have to give up Cloke and Daisy I could do this?
And Fisher to Hendersen would free up another $60k to fix rookies or upgrade a ruck. Man its all happening here  ;)

Hey Mate ,
I am very keen on an initial mid price defense structure.
Also looking at a couple of Giants initially with their opening rounds.
Guys like Henderson and waters in Def.
Greene or Treloar in mids.
I like Smith in attack but I think you need to look at Swan , Lids , BJ , Martin to sure up some keepers.
I am starting Rocky and Gazza aswell.Great move , so hard to get these big guns later
Have a play with it and get back to us.

Hey Mate
Sorry to take so long to get back to you.
Overall you have a nice even structure acoss all lines.
I think your team looks a bit vulnerable at  D5 & D6.
Even Brayshaw at M5 .
I personally would like to have a mid price look in defense allowing a M5 keeper.
Fwds are nice and  strong and rucks will be  standard.
Have a look and maybe check back in just before season opener.

Nige buddy really nice team.
This looks super, with only one small issue,  No Captain Rocky or Gazza.
I know the love you have for the Mullet but perhaps going vanilla with Krooz/Berger can free up some cash.
I know its very difficult to get these Ultra Premos in without time and patience.
But if your strategy is set up for this I can't fault it as atm.

Ruc: Kreuzer, Leuey (Cox, King)

Rookies are most likely to see the most movement as we hit the NAB Challenge but for a current draft what do you think? :D

P.S Cheers for taking the time to look at these, big help to the rest of us!

Hey mate , thanks for your patience.
I really like the look of your strategy ., mid price def in part.
I would recommend going further to strengthen the def.
Seed to Hendo and probably bring ibbo or whitx in or both if named rd 1.
Doing that would give you more school plus cash gain.
You are on the right path imo .

Plus NVB has been let off the tagging role by Walsh so would definitely look at him.

Team so far.

Thanks mate,
Lots of nice Pods in there , which are great.
I would definitely get 5 premos in the mids to gain a  good stsrt.
Plus I wouldn't have all three of Kelly , Martin and Lennon.
Have a play with that.
Also Goodes is on the Rookie list , so I would look elsewhere.
