Rate my team Part III

[nugget_12]

Quick question guys! With a full preseason behind him and no injury to speak of at the moment, is Jarred Rivers worth considering? should get a bit of the ball in melbournes defence, may not score massively but you would expect his price to climb alot higher wouldn't ya think?

Side would then look like this:

Def = B.Goddard, C.Enright, L.Hodge, H.Shaw, N.Malceski, J.Rivers, J.Hunt
Emerg = M.Maguire, A.Silvagni

Mids = G.Ablett, S.Mitchell, B.Deledio, D.Cross, D.Armitage, D.Martin
Emerg = L.Shuey, B.Moles

Rucks = D.Hille, N.Naitanui
Emerg = R.Warnock, N.Vardy

Fwrd = N.Riewoldt, M.Pavlich, D.Giansiracusa, L.Franklin, J.Ziebell, B.Hall, T.Rockliff
Emerg = D.Stewart, J.Podsiadly

My updated team:

Your thoughts?

Yeah top team. One of the best i've seen so far on here, I really like your pick of watson, good unique premium and i can see him lifting his ave significantly. Keep an eye on Rockliff, not sure on how safe his postion in the side is, but based on his preseason form he looks a good pick

 

[Evo86]

Feedback would be great fellas... thanks

not happy with the reserve defenders, but think i should be able to trade in some benchers later on

[spence]

Very unsure about my team at the moment. Not sure if I'm changing it for the better or worse.
Team looks like this.
Backs: Enright, Hodge, Shaw, Harbrow, Stevens, Dempsey, Hunt (Waters, Silvagni)

Mids: Bartel, Boyd, Selwood, Robinson, Trengove, Martin (Shuey, Banner)

Rucks: Clark, Tippett (Roughead, Skipper)

Forwards: Riewoldt, Higgins, Giansiracusa, Gray, Hall, Dangerfield, Campbell (Rockliff, Hitchcock)

My thoughts:
Backs - To strong/ reliant on mid pricers?
Mids - Which 2 to pick out of Banner/Shuey/Barlow, who is more secured in their teams best 22?
Rucks - Pretty happy with this part of my team
Forwards - 3 Doggies? I really cant see where the value lies in the premiums in the forward line. I believe most will drop again. Im sold on Riewoldt and Gia but questions over Higgins durability? Hall was Franklin but I selected Franklin on the basis that Hawthorn were going to have a good year. With the injuries they are starting to cop they could really have a slow start to the season.
What do you think?

Bank: $11,600

Great team mate. There is a couple I don't like in there; Campbell, Tippet, and Dempsey however if you see upside don;t let me sway you.

I like your selection of Scott Stevens, what are your thoughts on him? Stepping up into Ottens role?

Your thoughts?

Very good team and very similar too mine. I reakon Waite is a bit of a risk and also am not a fan of Sam Fisher this year. It appears that St. Kilda are trying to get Gilbert free.

Wow......that's a very strong looking team.....across the park.....I'm amazed it actually fits into the salary cap!! That aside.....Swan/Ablett/Brown 'may' drop in price after the first few rounds...Barlow and Rockliff starting may be risky, obviously a bit of unknown at this stage. And with Franklin out also for R1, will Gumby and/or Pods play?? Will Skipper get the call up with the Hawks? I guess once all that is known it may affect the players selected on the bench.

If all goes well it's an extremely high scoring team, but there are risks, as you're no doubt aware.

None of Kennelly, Hunt, or Waters played last year and Hille is coming back from a knee. Barry Hall is the wrong side of 30 with tribunal points hanging over him. But if they pay off you'll have a strong team.

The only other thing that concerms me a little with your team is the amount of scope for improvement from a number of players. And I don't mean Swan and Ablett, as I like your duel captain options, but when you factor them in with Goddard, Riewoldt, Brown, Enright, Sandilands, I think you've got a lot of fully priced players, but they may surprise and I could be wrong.

Part of the trick with combinations is allowing enough for players to improve. But you may be happy with the gains from your rookies and mid-pricers.

Id like to go into the season with 80k+ in the bank. its a strat that worked for me in the 08(top 1000finish) season but didnt implement last and didnt do anywhere near as well.

thoughts? Not sure on kreuzer but has so much potential. also what are thoughts on xav ellis at this stage? havnt heard his name tossed up much yet?

Hi champs! am new to Big Footy 1st post ever so please assist.

If anyone can be bothered please compare these two teams. They are similar but have different strategies. Any comments regarding which is better and why would be greatly appreciated.

The way I see it option 2 is more risky by stating 2 extra rookies, however this side has more keepers in it. Which is better? You decide and post a reply as to why. Cheers and happy dream teaming!

Well top marks for being original with having cash in the bank and starting rookies back and forward rather than mid but would be surprised if it worked. Opinion here is that the rookies most likely to play games and score consistently are in the mids. Given Franklin is out Rd 1 (and I'd guess only 2-3 of those rookies would be picked round 1) I would think you would be copping zeroes in the forwards first up and also a fair few more as the season goes on. Also would be surprised if your forward and back rookies will score/go up in value as quickly as the mid ones that are generally in teams here.

I definately prefer option 2. Ur backs are solid with a littler question mark over suban but thats about it.
Midfield is strong and dont mind 3 rookies there starting cause thats where the cash cows are. Forward line is also quite strong. only query is Having warnock in the ruck starting cause cant see his price going up too much too fast to upgrade later too cox. Maybe one suggestion is downgrading didak cuase he will cop a heavy tag early in the year and struggles with a hard tag. So maybe downgrade didak to Someone like robbie gray and get in someone like Seaby or hille for Warnock and put Warnock on the bench.

Cheers

i prefer side one by a fair way

i think it is basically decided by your forward line

i see chappy and didak as pretty risky choices in premiums for side 2, and because they are so risky it doesnt help having rockcliffe starting especially when he has no gaurantee of a starting spot in brisbanes 22.
your premiums in your forward line in team one are much better

also counting your premiums; you have 13 in each team so i think i would choose the safer option in team 1 with the same amount of premiums for sure

I like the first team better. Fairly solid. Second team I don't like the forwards - lots of injury prone and risky players in there could mean a heap of zeroes during the year. i.e. Chapman, Johnson, Didak, Ziebell, Danger + starting a rookie.

 

[spence]

Surely the first Adelaide supporter not to think theres upside to Tippett - Id like to hear your thoughts on this Spence?

Tippett is probably my favourite player at the crows and I'm really excited about his prospects this year, but not for Dream team. I will be suprised if he doesn't improve his average, however I will also be suprised if he averages 10 ppg more than last year. You certainly won't go wrong with him if you pick him, however you may be frustrated if other players show better value. I think he'll have days where he'll kick 6,7 or 8 goals and get his 120 but what about the days when we are playing a good side, or presti etc does a great job on him? I think those days will hurt him. In addition, our midfielders struggled to hit targets on the lead against Melbourne on the weekend, I'm sure this will turn around but this affects Tippet severely. I think there is better value even in the rucks, his name rymes with bark....

The big question is Lakey, is he going to be a keeper in your side? If he is I think he needs to increase his average to 80-85 at least and I can't see him doing this in his role.

Conversely, Tippet is one of our most important players so he will never get dropped. He played every game last year, so you can tick the durability box. Hence there is not many risks in picking him. I guarentee if you ask any other crows player they will say "he's a lock". I have a differant DT approach I dont't really like picking key forwards, we know what happend to Lance Franklin last year, I prefer consistent players.

very good point about the fwds more likely to be copping 0s. the problem is i really want masten in the team but feel if its a 4person mid with masten then it really might not be as strong as it potentially could be..

okay so this is what else ive come up with as a solution. hoping cyril is ready for round 1.



some changes are:

BACK- goddard and fisher in for gilbert and enright
MID - swan(or Gaz) and morabito in for vince and boyd. now starting 2 mid rookies instead of one.
FWD - Cyril and Gia in for Franklin and Rohan.
Spent an extra ~35k

starting 2 rookies in mid now instead of 1 and 2 in fwd now instead of 3


further thoughts guys?

I have a differant DT approach I dont't really like picking key forwards, we know what happend to Lance Franklin last year, I prefer consistent players.

Tippett is close to a lock for me. Im thinking he will avg 80 and be a keeper. I think natural imrpovment could easily gain a 7 point increase in average. Tippett also has the ability to lay tackles in games and can also play further up the ground, in which the crows may rely on him to do this a bit more with sellar (injured), Maric (struggling with injury). If your starting him your wanting him as a keeper. Also there arnt many other options. Personally i wouldnt be confident in upgrading to any/many of the other premium rucks. They all have problems. Tippett doesnt have problems.

If Adelaide have another successful year, he will avg just about 80. I think he will end up as the 3rd highest scoring ruck for this year.
