Martin, Dangerfield + Mitchell. I don't reckon you can afford all 3 of them and who can you afford to leave out?
So, I was thinking. How about we all agree with a side to put in (using your wives email account) in our own league and then we can work together to build the best league possible. Then we can have trade options throughout the year, like a choose your own adventure!
...and I still don't know who I want in my team Normally at this stage of the year, I've got atleast 10 near-locks, but right now I have ZERO. I'm just not sure what I want my team to look like this year. Oh well, 57 days and 8 hours to go!!!
I've got all three , but I think there is good value in forward line .. Can you afford not to have them they go large .
Yeah I know, they will cost you heaps of $$ and will keep you ahead of the pack if they go large at the start. If they are slow out of the blocks then you can pick them up 80k cheaper. I would have thought that the Bont and Cripps would be locks this year, but they were burn men last year. Who is this years Elliot Yeo?? Would love to start with them!! Does Heater become relevant again now that Williams is down and out?
Without both Williams and Wilson, yeah, I've selected Heater as a viable option again. I also currently have "the big three" in my starting line-up, with a LOT of rookies, and $300k still available (JPK's team, rev0)
I've spent all my kitty 3 ultra premos , 4 premos and a mid pricer in the guts . Spent all my money in middle this year to get a good start
Not interested thanks lads. I’m happy draftstaring it for cashola, that takes enough time up for me. No need for me to let you blokes down if your chasing high rankings. Thanks
I'm a big believer picking the guns at the start and not waiting for a price drop , one you burn a trade and two you miss out on the points even if danger averages 120 he could still be the top scoring mid but I've never come close to winning
I have re-created last years league and invites have been sent out. In case you didn't get it the code number is 995594
Would be interested in people's thoughts on potential break-outs from their ORFFU teams? I reckon we all know our ORFFU players better than pretty much anyone else can so can probably provide more informed viewpoints I'll throw in Jack Billings - he's been talked about a fair bit in some circles this preseason already but I reckon his time has come. Last year he looked very good in patches, a class above, and I feel he's developed enough to have a big year this year. Can score points from kicking goals and/or racking up the possies, and still listed as a forward Oh, and I joined the league
Good idea @Tomster . I'll throw Pearce Hanley into the mix. His 2017 year didn't start off too well, missing the first half due to his brother's death and then he came back too early and suffered from that as well. But in his last 5 games, he averaged 100. He suffered a broken hand in the International series, which however, didn't interfere with his fitness and he's now back in full training. As a comparison, you have Kade Simpson, who also av.100 in his last 4 games, costing $516,300. Then as a dual position (D/M) player costing $428,000, I think Hanley has a place as a D3 or D4..........
I know he burnt a lot of coaches last season, but Jaeger should be back and better than ever this year. I'm probably going to start with him! Aliir has been touted as a possible extra ruckman. While I'd like that, I don't think its going to improve him enough to be a break-out player http://www.afl.com.au/news/2018-01-30/longmire-flags-unlikely-tippett-replacement Touk could get some serious leather poisoning this year, but he'd also be a tag target, so I'd actually suggest staying away from him.
I think you're right about O'Meara @JPK , he's one I think will do well this year and is currently in my draft team. The two biggest movers for the Crocs this year I feel will be Blakely and Libba. Post bye, Blakely scored 115, 129, 121, 119 for an average of 121. His injury affected 7 in round 19 brought his season average down to 89.2. I'd say he'll bumped his average up to around 105 this year and will end up a top 30 mid and perhaps even push for the top 20. Libba is probably more speculative than Blakely. Priced at 79, he averaged 91 the year before. Capable of 105+ but I think he's more likely to be around the 95 mark this year.
