Well said, I agree. I would pick Gulden simply because he has upside keeper potential. I do not believe Dale has much upside...if at all. I think he should get passed by the likes of Daicos/Ridley/etc so I doubt he's even top 6 DEF. Doggies backline is all of a sudden crowded if Caleb Daniel...

I will say this about the 2023 SC season...I am playing it wildly different from everyone else so I am either going to do really well or really poorly. I absolutely hate all the midpricers, so I am going with a strategy that can be described as something along the lines of "discounted guns and...

I messed up and didn't have a look at the forum until today...if there's a league going on and it isn't full I'll have a crack: Team Name: The Seppos 2022: 589 2021: 6725 2020: 218 (also my best finish) Not sure for 2022, I think SCC#2...I've bounced around between #1 and #2 for a few years...

I would agree that we need to see it for another week at least...I assume the urgency is because this is a Danger replacement and you have to make a decision soon? If you go by last season's midfield numbers you can't take much meaning out of high midfield scoring from one game where Essendon...

Good on you mate, that was a massive call and if this holds you are in the running to win. Should be an exciting season and I’d love to see it. For me, I’m not going to restructure. I think that trades are going to be at a premium this year and we just have to pick the most dependable premiums...

Lower ruck scoring had certainly been the theory in the preseason, but I’m not ready to concede that rucks are going to score all that differently yet. The game was a lot more contested than the preseason, so I think the rucks have a chance to bounce back. Week 1 is always silly season and we’ve...

The Seppos are in. Thanks and good luck to everyone this year!

I completely get the thinking, and if it works out it probably puts you in contention. So, I see why you're going to do it, but I keep being a wet blanket lol Anyway, 3 thoughts below: (now that I have typed the post, the 3rd might be the most important...oops) 1- Are you really confident 2 of...

If we had an R3 to pair with Flynn who was actually guaranteed to play for awhile I might consider going 1 of the Gawn/Grundy with 2 ruck rookies. Even then, the best case scenario is using 3 trades to get to Gawn/Grundy. So, you've stuffed your upgrade cadence up and missed out on probably the...

I tell you what...after the preseason I cleared my team and then started from scratch (I highly recommend doing this a few times before you hit lockout). Importantly, I picked all the rookies I could first and then filled out the rest of my team. Surprisingly, I ended up very heavy premo in the...

Hmmmmmm...so every premo is probably a bit overpriced, but the midfield premos even more so. Probably lends some credence to looking for value in the mid premos, using Gawn/Grundy as the main captaincy options, and going heavier in the either or both of the fwd/def premium selection. Of course...

Interesting, thank you! I stand corrected. So now my question becomes "are the majority of the inflated scores actually in the mids?". I think you asserted that a couple posts back, but I'm still questioning (sorry, I am a pain) and I think it's worth wrapping our heads around it. Looking at...

I don't think you're looking too deeply into it; scoring was definitely affected by the changes last year. I suppose we just need to figure out exactly how and try to use it as a competitive advantage. For me, it looked like the rucks and the intercepting/rebounding defenders got the biggest...

I have all 3 in my side right now too...and I hate it. But, I just can't pay for a fwd premo I don't want/trust. I also don't see the rookies right now; I hope they show up. I'm thinking Ziebell goes 80-85 if healthy. I don't think he has the foot skills to top 90, but an 80avg is a win if...
