Reckon three rookie starters in the backline will be hard to manage! Butcher/porpoise/Saad up front also tricky. With James McDonald in the midfield, maybe downgrade Barlow?

Had a revisit...just throwing things around.
Noticed that most teams are leaving Cox out at the moment and if I followed suit I could rob Peter to Pay Paul a bit....

Reasonable team now.

Would have preferred to see Franklin in forwards but just personal. Hoping Chappys hammies stay together for you as well.

As with all watch rookie performances in NAB cup and see who is named in team as I have a feeling some of your rookies may not be named in round 1.

Currently 8.5 to 9/10

Thanks Ringo. Yeah I had Franklin at beginning but as I filled my team I had to chop him out at his price. Will be one to get as an upgrade for sure. As for rookies I'm sure you are right and they won't be locked in until round 1.

Good balanced team.

Not sure about enright. I would get someone younger instead.

I dont think shaw or newell will play much either.

Mabye get brown instead of the injured dochety.

Patrician · January 05, 2012, 10:37:22 AM

First team I've seen with Judd in a long time. Nice difference.

I would be a little worried about having both Grimes and Lake. Perhaps better to take a risk on only one of them?

Mid looks fine...but yeah, what Footyrulz said on Docherty.

I'm going to presume you will pick up Franklin later.

lozza63 · January 05, 2012, 12:36:29 PM

Quite like the team 7.5+/10 - Enright should be fine for another season imo. Grimes and Lake - such a popular combo and yet i do have misgivings about it. Lake 'cuase he seems too unfit (even when he's playing well) and Grimes - well Mr Injury prone himself!
ROK/JB could be nearing their last season as bona fide premiums?

Ringo · January 05, 2012, 12:42:58 PM

Like this time with some different prems to what the usual are eg Judd, Enright

Agree taking both Grimes and Lake are a risk but if happy with pre season and performances no objections to both. First team for a while I have seen without Broughton as well.
Mids: Agree with Footy in that I would replace Docherty with Luke Brown keeping your Def/Mid DPP. Dochery has had rib surgery and may miss early games. You can target him as a potential downgrade target.
Rucks: Seems to be the majority of selections at the moment and set and forget barring injury
Forwards: Ok assume you are some that are targeting Franklin as an upgrade Target due to Hawks tough early draw.

Overall would rate 8.5/10 for this team. (Can see up to 15 keepers here barring injury Well done.)
