TU Lloyd and M Crouch
TD Sicily and J Kelly
TU: Fyfe & T.Kelly
TD: Neale & Dunkley
Neale and Tim Kelly???
TU: Dusty
TD: Coniglio
Comment: Fyfe
T/u Gawn
T/d Grundy.
Comment…neither, they will fall and that means I can get the likes of a Macra or Fyfe to start. Net cost will be one extra trade required.
TU: Mundy, Neale, Duursma
TD: Greene, Merret, B.Smith
Also struggling with my F3 spot, as its been a toss up between Mundy and Tim Kelly. I feel if Mundy plays consistent mid he will have an increase in his average all though, is he too old. With Tim Kelly he is a bit inconsistent but has a higher ceiling only concern is if I select him, all my premium forwards have the same bye
TU: Mundy
TD: Kelly
is Darcy Moore worth the risk?
T/U – D.Moore @ D4 (with Lloyd@D1, Williams@D2, B.Smith@D3)
T/D – Scrimshaw (don’t risk it, just take an extra rookie)
Cheers
TU: Smith, Coniglio
TD: Ridley, Matt Crouch + extra money
ATM i’ve got all 4.
TU: Tim Kelly
TD: Mundy
Comment: someone else
Brodie Smith, Billings and Butters T/U
Darcy Moore, Fyfe and Burgess T/D
Need to find about $30k:
T/U – fyfe down to coniglio
T/D – Darcy Moore down to Hately (GWS), by moving setterfield to fwd line
Cheers!
Don’t have Walsh and have Smith at D3 is Walsh worth it
T/U Hurn D2 and Walsh M6
T/D B Smith D3 and B Crouch M6
I woudlve thought the second option would be better
Smith will average at most i reckon 15 points less then Hurn
And B crouch will average i reckon more then 15 points then Walsh
I think points wise it’s close, but the second option might not get you a keeper while the first one probably will. In saying that, I think Brad Crouch is underrated and will average ~105 this season – main concern being injury. Personally I think option 1 and 2 are 50/50 and would trust your gut, or whichever’s better for your bye structure
TU – Cousins and Scrimshaw
TD – Butters and Collins
TU – Billings at F3 and 700 in bank
TD – Greene at F3 and 83k in bank
TU – Rocky
TD – Sheed
TU – Lloyd / Goldy / Oliver / B Crouch
TD – Z Williams / Gawn / A Brayshaw / Dusty
F4 Spot
TU – Darling
TD – De Goey
Comment: Walters or Billings
Have a structure dilemma resting on my love with Brad Crouch
T/U: BCrouch at M5 + Moore
T/D: Any premo F3 (probably TKelly)+ Mid rookie
Ridley T/U
Or
Moore T/D ??
TU: Smith, Cousins and Riewoldt
TD: Duursma, Brayshaw, Worpel/Greene
This for my F3/F4
TU: Billings and Toby Greene,
TD: Dunkley/ Darcy Moore + $38k
TU: Dunkley
TD: T.Kelly
TU – Smith, Coniglio, M.Crouch
TD – Collins, Macrae, Neale
Fyfe has been taking steps to improve durability and will play 20+ games T/U
He’s Fyfe and will play under 18 T/D
TU: Hurn (D2) & Macrae
TD: Lloyd & Fyfe (M3)
Many thanks!
TU – Lloyd
TD – Laird
TU: Hore (field clark) and Oliver
TD: Smith and B Crouch
T/U-Yeo
T/D-Coniglio
What do we all think Brayshaw (melb) will avg for the year?
TU under 110
TD over 110
T/u: Worpel
T/d: Greene
T/U Lachie Neale M4
T/D Coniglio M4
TU: Ridley, Matt Crouch, Darling
TD: Smith, Brad Crouch, T Kelly
Who averages more in 2019?
T/U: Callum Mills
T/D: Brodie Smith
TU: Hurn, Neale (34k bank)
TD: Lloyd, Merrett (12k bank)
Battle of the >$ Burn men.
I have Moore to swing so..
I don’t really what either, But if you had to go 1
T/U Smith at D4
T/D Greene at D4
Thanks 🙂
Sorry Greens F4 .
Silly me.
TU: Brodie Smith (D4) + Neale (M3 – Behind Cripps and Fyfe)
TD: Ridley (D4) + Macrae (M1)
Might be final team nerves, but was thinking of following as F3 and F4….
T/U: Kelly + Moore
T/D: Worpel + Greene
Thanks guys
TU: A.Brayshaw + M.Parker on field
TD: B.Crouch + D.Moore
What are people’s thoughts on Dusty this year? TU will bounce back and average 110+ TD will have another average year
If he’s playing mostly midfield and not forward based.
TU
Lloyd + Crisp/Hurn.
TD
Laird + Whitfield.
COMMENT CRISP OR HURN !
THANKS. DOING MY HEAD IN =] haha
Hurn
TU- Darling/Collins
TD- Whitfield/ forward rookie (Parker)
T/U – Smith D4 + Moore F4
T/D – Moore D4 + Greene F4
Cheers 🙂
TU: Oliver, Dunkley, Hore
TD: M Crouch, Darling, Ridley
Both should give c. 270pts, but feel Ridley has better JS than Hore, so went TD
TU Macrae/Witherden
TD M Crouch/Lloyd
Sheed & L. McCarthy – TU
Libba & Cerra – TD
Neither imo. Rookie mid and cheaper premo fwd.
TU Menegola
TD T. Kelly
Is Jordan De Goey worth a punt as a POD at F4?
TU – Macrae/Cousins
TD – Neale/Libba
T/U: C Oliver
T/D: N Fyfe
T/U: N Fyfe
T/D: D Martin
TU: Whitfield, Fyfe & Petruccelle
TD: Moore (D4), Merrett & T Kelly (F4)
Is Sam Collins a must have rookie:
TU: yes
TD: no
Jimmy Webster worth considering?
T/U – Yes sir.
T/D – Don’t be an idiot
Ave 100+ for first half of year before the Gold Coast game (injury? Was a 13). Poor JLT but without roberton, perhaps might do well? Didn’t catch any saints in jlt . No idea really.
You may be onto something. I think you can afford to wait tho’ and watch to see if anything materialises. I’m hoping he gets Roberton’s role and he may even get pushed up on a wing.
Too big a risk to start tho’!
TU: Oliver, Steele
TD: Coniglio, M.Crouch
Looking to bring Coniglio in for either
T/U: Higgins
T/D: Martin
Comment: don’t pick Coniglio
T/U J.Lloyd D1, B.Crouch M5, FWD Rookie (F6)
T/D B.Smith D3, T. Liberatore M5, Dunkley F4 (Setterfield F6)
T/U Liberatore and Billings
T/D Walsh and Dunkley
Up – Merrett
Down – M. Crouch
TU: Fyfe, B Crouch, M Parker (field Drew)
TD: M Crouch, T Kelly, Atkins (field Scott)
Jack Higgins an U/18s avg 144 smashing rockliffs. Will dimma let him run through the midfield to breakout in 2019? He looked to through JLT for long stints
Yes pick him as a nice POD
No lock in Greene
F3
TU: Darling
TD: Dunkley
Hey guys,
T/U- Fyfe & M Crouch
T/D- Neale & Dusty
Thanks.
T/U- Mills & Cousins
T/D- Collins & B Crouch
Thought is Mills has the potential to be a season keeper, where as B Crouch more then likely will need to be traded at some stage.
TU: Brodie Smith
TD: Toby Greene
…though I think the better rookie probably makes this selection easier
TU: M Crouch
TD: J Steele + some coin
T/U: D Martin
T/D: S Coniglio
TU: Bont + Laird
TD: Macrae + Z Williams
Better choice factoring in both points and cash generation
TU: Moore
TD: Liberatore
Having a tough time deciding this one
TU: Liberatore M5, Dunkley F3
TD: Coniglio M4, Moore F4
Which M1-M5 looks better
TU – Macrae, Cripps, Martin, Brayshaw, Liberatore
TD – Cripps, Oliver, Coniglio, Martin, Brayshaw
TU- Brad Crouch M5 , Libba M6
TD – Matt Crouch M5 , Sam Walsh M6
L. McCarthy still worth a look?
TU: Matt Crouch, Ridley, Darling
TD: Fyfe, Hore (field clark), Dunkley
TU: Merrett and Smith
TD: Whitefield and Sheed
Neither?
TU: Bont
TD: Martin
TU: Menegola
TD: T Kelly
TU: B Smith
TD: Greene
So I need to fit 1 mid pricer into my team, but can’t decide on who. B.Smith in defence or Libba in the midfield.
my two options are:
T/U – Laird, Libba
T/D – B.Smith, Neale
I’m leaning towards Smith & Neale but need to be sure.
Vote on the thumbs to help me out, or comment any other ideas.
Cheers
TU: Cousins & Scrimshaw
TD: Collins & Gibbons
F3:
T/u – Dunkley
T/d – Robbie Gray
Last minute dilemma:
Tu: Laird, Neale and Darling
Or
Td: Sicily, Treloar and Dunkley
T/U: M.Crouch, Z.Williams
T/D: B.Crouch, L.Whitfield
TU- Sicily
TD- Dunkley
TU: M Crouch, Darling
TD: Fyfe, B Crouch
If going for Leagues regarding mid pricers
TU pure gNR with just williams
TD lack of rookies so go with williams, plus another 2-3 mid pricers (maybe b smith, greene, libba ect)
thanks
TU: Franklin (if named r1)
TD: Another premo
Hi Coaches,
TU: Collins and $59,000 in the bank
TD: Ridley and $15,400 in the bank
Thanks!
Not sure which way to go community ….. advice?
TU: Liberatore M5, (Leaves Moore at F4)
TD: Billings F4, (Leaves Walsh at M6)
Comment – both with a bit of a re-jig. ( Have considered Green over Billings but think Billings has more to offer long term)
Thank!

What’s everyones thoughts on Jordan Ridley??
T/U – Great option for D4, should have a good year and average 65+
T/D – Too expensive, job security isn’t rock solid and you’re better off going with one of the cheaper rookies.
Tough decision here
T/U Lloyd, B.Crouch, FWD Rookie
T/D Smith D3, T.Liberatore, Dunkley F4
Hey guys,
T/U- Whitfield & Gibbons

Thanks.

T/U – Macrae & Parker / Drew or
T/D – M Crouch & Greene – if it plays Greene at F4 & Moore at F5
Wayne Milera, DEF, $433,100. Averaged 90-something post-bye last year. JLT form seems to suggest that will continue. Thoughts?
TU: I like it.
TD: Too risky.
Wait two rounds, then re assess, in the meantime rookie and hold cash.
TU: Dunkley (F3) & fwd Rookie (F5)
TD: Billings (F4) & D.Moore (F5)
see below, (i was scanning up) MILLS!
Good Luck trying to find a Rookie forward.
Jeremy Howe, DEF, $497,200. Has averaged 90+ for the last three years. I am thinking about him as an inexpensive, reliable way to fill a backline spot. He’s got my attention because a) there are suddenly big question marks over Whitfield’s role, b) I already have Lloyd and Laird, and c) I could really use the cash elsewhere. Thoughts?
TU: Good pick.
TD: Look elsewhere.
If you have Lloyd and laird where else have you ‘sacrificed’? Not playing both gun rucks? Less I mids and playing mid pricers in Libba and b crouch etc or?? Do tell!
No Gawn or Grundy (relax, I have a plan), only four premium mids (I’m keen to get Liberatore in there to beef it up a little).
Good luck then Salamander!!
Like I said, I have a plan. 😉
Luke Ryan, DEF, $489,900. Averaged 90 last year, and could benefit from the new kick-in rules. I remember some people being frustrated by his up-and-down scoring last year, but as I’m going for overall rather than leagues, that doesn’t really concern me. With that in mind…
TU: Good pick.
TD: Look elsewhere.
millsy
Harris Andrews
He is a good POD and another year older too !! I don’t have him but I like the pick for those who do.
Hmmm…. a lot more thumbs down for both Ryan and Howe than I would have thought. Is there something I’m missing? They seem like safe picks to me.
TU: Macrae (M1) and Gibbons (M11)
TD: Neale (M3) and Collins (D5)
TU Oliver and Walsh
TD Brayshaw and Libba
Whitfield chat got me worried.
T/U – Whitfield / A Brayshaw / Conigs
T/D – Lloyd / Oliver / B Crouch
Risk v Reward?
Do you feel like B Crouch / T Green / B Smith is too much risk for 1 team?
T/U – Yes
T/D – No
TU – Lloyd, Neale
TD – Hurn, Macrae
Morning brains trust!
My only concern is my M6.
I want a value selection.
T/u – B.Crouch
T/d – D.Sheed
Comment: Rocky (‘shudders’)
I went BCrouch like everyone else Buncha but I would go neither at M6 to be honest. Another line must be thin if you have $400k to spend here at M6. If you want one of these two then M5 for me, drop your current M5 and splash the cash elsewhere !!
TU – Cogs
TD – Yeo
TU – Laird
TD – Simpson
TU: Macrae + 45k
TD: coniglio + 150k safety net Incase a midprice flops
TU: Billings
TD: Darling
Which combination will score higher?
TU: Macrae, Libba , Drew
TD: Coniglio, Constable, Greene
TU: LLOYD, Hurn, Williams, Smith, Clark, Duursma (BURGESS, Hore)
TD: WHITFIELD, Hurn, Williams, Smith, COLLINS, Clark (Duursma, Hore)
Many thanks!
M4
TU: Neale
TD: Coniglio
This is doing my head in… All Saints I need you
Williams and Fyfe T/U
Brodie Smith and Macrae T/D
Comment: Williams, Macrae but no Darcy Moore.
Last one, better mid price risk in the mids:
TU: Libba
TD: B.Crouch
Who’ll play more games?
T/U: Toby Greene
T/D: Tom Lynch (Richmond)
TU: Yeo and M. Crouch (with $2800 left)
TD: M. Crouch and A. Brayshaw (with $61,400 left)
TU
whitfield and rookie
TD
Greene, Williams ( means ill have greene williams and conglio)
(whitfield proven player, williams we’re all hoping?
Assuming both get named, who should I take as my last midfield rookie?
TU Hind
TD Gibbons
T/U – Clark
T/D – Scrimshaw
M5.
Brayshaw TU
Brad crouch TD
TU: T. Goldstein and T. Liberatore. (with $25,200 left)
TD: M. Gawn and C. Constable (with $57,600 left)
Seriously considering starting Franklin if named. Massive pod. If he gets injured I can downgrade to whomever that elusive f3 ends up being.
TU, nice plan.
TD, just join the f3 lottery like everyone else.
TU – Whitfield & Scrimshaw (if he plays)
TD – Mills & Moore
Currently Lloyd, Whitfield, Williams, Scrimshaw, etc
In terms of JS
T/U Duursma, Cousins
