I am tossing up between Matthew Warnock (@ $327,100) and Colin Garland (@ $296,400). Any ideas?

    J.Grimes ($188,400). Will score more than both. Cheaper and will rise in value. Much better option.

    I was leaning toward Garland, which would give enough dough to get Grimes for the bench/investment. Both of you guys saying Grimes straight up has got me thinking now - it frees up a bit of cash to cover some other areas.

    Thanks boys

    Grimes easily.

    You've gotta go a possession winner over a tall defender. Warnock might be an OK player, but he's certainly not going to be great for Supercoach.

    Grimes is silky and gets the footy, meaning high efficency which equals good point scoring

    Has anyone noticed how clunky this tear's versions of supercoach and dreamteam are. Every time I try to scroll through players my computer just about freezes. What have they done?

  • Quote

    out of Garland and Warnock, go with Garland... but as others have said, Grimes over both of them...

    I'd take Garland myself between the two. I'd also have Grimes with some extra cash. With games, Grimes' price should go north.

    you have all missed one as well. Pettard is in the backline and cheep. Very good value for mine as he will play a lot wing/HF and looks the goods this year if he stays fit. IMHO pettard/grimes is better value and should be a better net return then the garland/warnok pair purely from being spoilers v midfielders!

    What other dees players are people considering? I have Grimesy down back already and Spencer as a 4th ruck (I figure he will be playing by years end and at 83k it's all you need to spend on a 4th ruck).

    The only other dee im considering is Morton as a 5th midfield option his kicking hurts his efficiency from time to time but he does kick goals and knows how to find the footy, I hope his teammates will actually see him waving his arms around in plenty of space out on the wings this year then he'll rack up even more possies.

    Apart from those three I can't really see myself taking the risk on anyone else at this stage... maybe Benell, Jetta or Bail as a rookie Midfield emergency but there are probably better options.

    I considered Ricky P but he's a big risk with injuries the blokes just to courageous (if that's possible) throwing himself into every contest means he'll prob be injured 50% of the year, hope that's not the case though.

    No doubt I will make many more changes as r1 gets closer. So far I have had Morton and Sylvia and then removed them, considered Green (still not sure) and have added Grimes and Cheney (emer) to the defence. I am more likely to keep tabs on Melbourne players more than opposition so even though I don't have many Dees in the starting 22, my emergencies are littered with red and blue. I have both Meesen and Spencer as ruck emergencies on the basis that one of them quite simply is guaranteed to play. I have both Benell and Jetta as midfield emergencies on a similar rationale although this is no where as water tight.

    I would be interested to hear other people's strategies, ie are you going all out best 22 for that one lucky week they are all in or for a good over all squad to cover injuries and focus on the whole season.

    Also I have not played this before, can someone please explain the full benefit of having players that rise in value. My understanding is that if they are worth more then you have more to trade with but why would you trade if they are going so well anyway - I am obviously missing something here.

    Injuries/Age. If you can pick the time to off load a young player that is about to be rested for several weeks or a player who gets injured and then say Watts starts playing you may gain 100k from the other bloke and you can upgrade another established player that is not performing to a star that is. if you can pick a couple of rookie's that avg's close to 100pts/game and play 20+ games your set!

    I now have Grimes (but need him to play), Spencer as a ruck emergency, and Davey in the forward line (hoping he will also pick up possessions running through the midfield), although his injury has me worried

    bugger, 1 game in and already 1 player short. Grant for the doggies and sidebottom for the filth both not picked for rnd 1. leaving 1 emg (schonmakers) to come in. Not a good start!

    Need a good rookie that will play rd 2 in the forward line and has to be under 100k if sidebottom and grant don't get a gig.

    Taylor Walker -- get on board before his price skyrockets

    Hope you all got on Mitch Robinson.

    94k and just scored 109 SC points. Luckily, I had him as an emergency for Sylvia...

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
