Teams 2025 Rate My Pre-Season Team

[WaynesWorld19]

 

[marcmurphy3]

1st Draft
May switch Daicos to another mid. Nervous about the bye but he is the best value in that range. Want LDU but nervous about picking to many Roos. Maybe I grab Flanders for the better bye and flexibility. Not sold on McKercher due to role but I like someone in that price range from a structure perspective. Pike will become Boyd.

For an extra 17k you can get Butters who plays the extra game early. Think Daicos as a mid only is a very easy fade this year as a starting pick

Yep, that's what I've done as well

I see some teams choosing Sheezel and fading Bont .....on risk alone shouldn't coaches go Bont over Sheezel

Different positions though as Sheezel looks like D1 this year. You could make a discussion of Butters v Bont.

Like the Parish selection. Iif he gets through preseason in one piece he will be hard to ignore at that price. The footy does follow him when he’s up and about. Discount v calf.

Personally I'll have no problem ignoring Parish. Injury prone + early bye

I have never owned Parish before but I do think that if he has a full pre-season and can fully be over his soft tissue injuries he could be a bargain. I'm willing to a risk and start both Parish & Oliver for a combined $932k which could be 2 x 110+premos

Round 4 is the least worst of the early bye rounds.

 

[Maybe Tomorrow]

Round 4 is the least worst of the early bye rounds.

So? He's already playing one less game and has played 2/9 full seasons.

He might make you some money, but you WILL have to trade him at some point.

Alright, you larrikins, Scoops has got an absolute banger of a firestarter, a veritable hand grenade of strategic significance to throw into the mix.

23 scorers into 22 scores with the flex:

Will you be trying to get to 23 legit premos with bona fides, 21 and then two up and down types you throw at the final scoring spot each week? 22 and a supa cheap discounted type of an injury or whatever just to have that 23rd bloke in a pinch?


Still sticking with investing only.in the on-field 22 (with the only difference being you flick F6 for an M/R/D from the flex spot)?

Was thinking it might legitimize going that 23rd legit premo, but thinking about it a bit more, every dollar spent outside the core 22 is honestly a dollar wasted.

Fall.into that trap far too often myself, does the flex really change that? Not sure it does a heap.

 

[gutsroy]

Just on Parish:
Had a brief look the other day and had him in for a hot minute, but he consistently has soft tissue issues. If he were 50k cheaper or so, you'd give it more thought.
If you time your run, he'll be handy, just a question of if / when he blows a gasket

These characters need a firm hand.

23 premo's has been the goal for a few years imo, with the extra trades.

Doesn't mean we all get there though, shit happens. Probably 24 should be the goal now, but as you say the worry is cutting corners for the last few. The trick is picking off all the correct value options through the year. Kents that do that will be top 1K.

IMO the trap is sideways trading early doors, easy to justify, often you are better holding over the season though. How many times would 1 or 2 more trades in round 17 make a bigger difference than sideways trading a slow starting premo in round 6 (who inevitably finds form shortly after)?

Scoops loves the strategy, although he can't help but feel that Scoopsmorrow is not matching Scoops' energy, the out and out passion that Scoops is bringing to the preseason table.


Nonetheless, as the sober yin to Scoops' raging yang...


Scoops off to get on the Ayahuasca Aaron Rodgers style. (Might be up there with the biggest w***ers of all time,.that bloke. Jason Akermanis areas)

On a serious note, first thought was 24, but reckon pushing for 24 is ultimately going too hard into distributing the cash, ends up diluting the on-field output most of the time, but as you say, kind of have to jump.on what you reckon are the value options as they present and see as you go.

Genuinely no idea about this Scoops. I have heard of Rodgers, but I'm lost after lol.

24 is doable imo, but you need to get almost everything right. Assuming the rookies do as well as last year that is.

What they doing ...below.

 

[NT.Thunder]

Maybe something like this, no idea about rookies though but they’ll fall into place closer to round 0/1
