Am I crazy for wanting to get rid of Libba and bringing in Hunter, last minute gut feel style????
Midfield 2016
- Thread starter Fbdonkey
- Start date
Look it's not insane because Hunter did finish well last year when he moved to half back, but consider a few things first.
Libba's our number 1 midfielder (in 2014 the best inside mid the competition by the stats) and Hunter is fighting for a couple more minutes in the middle... Hunter is a ball magnet, will probably average about the same or more touches than Libba in 2016 but he'll never match the tackles, clearances and contested possessions.
Liberatore had 10 tackles in his return game, 10!
Hunter would be lucky to average 95-100ish in my opinion, Libba should get back up to 105-110, maybe even more if we're lucky... He's definitely our #1 mid.
Happy enough with B Crouch, hopefully more to come from him.
Yeah I am not too worried at this stage about him. Needed the whiteout and will take him a few weeks.
If he'd just started smashing right from the start everyone else would have jumped on before R3, right ... got to find a couple of positives in a slightly sub par start ...
Took a gamble and started with
Danger, Rocky, Lloyd, Liba, Hunter, BCrouch, Mills, Oliver (Menadue, Hewett,Gresham)
Happy with the scores but am considering Steele and McGovern out, Menadue fwd and then get GAJ and Rookie back

Is that Lloyd - sydney Jake Lloyd? If so im impressed and applaud your obviously big cohone's.
May i ask the reasoning behind the mid setup? Obviously expect them to perform but have you stacked your def and fwds as i only see rocky, danger and libba as being in the top 8 mids so all the other midpricers need upgrading at some stage.
I have never been a midprice buyer but this year with libba and crouch in the mids (disregarding fwd and def cheapies) they were compulsory in a way but last night i looked at a crouch to danger / priddis / other uber prem in the next two weeks rather than missing those points now. Anyway just curious on your plan / thoughts / system.
Well done on Lloyd, obviously had a cracking NAB but was worried as he was very good preseason 2015.
Yeah had him last year and he upped his average to 70. Can see him going 90+ this year so will be a good to upgrade to a prem
Watch their whole midfield go nuts next week with a Ross rocket and Sandi back.
Will this decline be the same as the St Kilda decline after making those GFs with RTB
Yes Jake Lloyd from the Swans. My man crush, sorry JB jnr you are now my No 2
Nic NAt and Goldy in the rucks.
Shaw, Rich, Lonergan and McGovern in the backs
Hall, Franklin, Barlow and JSteele in the fwds.
Rest are rookies and rookie priced players.
Will be monitoring Lloyd, Hunter, Liba and Crouch along with Hall, Lonergan, JSteele and McGovern.
I think most can make about $150+ by the byes and I will keep/trade each of them depending upon what each player averages.
The reason behind the midpricer mid field was that i thought 4 mid pricers would outscore 2 prems and 2 rookies. The 2 prems i took out were Pendles and GAJ and the rookies were Dunkley and Davis. I went on holidays before the season started and didnt get time to adjust my team as i got home thursday arvo.
With McGovern injured i could trade him out for a rookie and trade JSteele to GAJ this week.
I just heard that Toby Greene and Jack Steele are training with the 2's and not the senior group.
What does this mean??
