With Dreamteam Right around the Corner, Rate for a Rate! team to beat!

BIGCOLSYLVIA · March 17, 2012, 11:23:00 AM

Im sorry if theres heaps of writining but ive done it really detailed!
After much fiddling and undecidedness i think im almost done for lockout! but anyways!

Backs: Goddard, Carrazzo, Deledio, Birchall, Hargrave, Marty Clarke, Darley ( B.Ellis, Bugg)
i think my backs are extra strong, with having hargrave as 5 and marty as 6th. Marty was ovviosuly going to take a few NAB cub games to hit abit of form due to not playing football for so long. Birchall and carrots for me is a unique pick because they are ball magnets and generally rack up heaps of points. Darley, Ellis and Bugg are also 3 gun rookies!

Midfielders: Ablett, Rockliff, Selwood, Diasy Thomas, D Smith, Mcdonald (Miles, Stevens)
Alright well with many changes with having Lenny the whole time, but after yesterday i think it was time for a huged upgrade to Selwood, will just make my team stronger and stronger. Have decided to not start with Swanny this year because i believe he will go down in price and Ablett will soar again this year! Mcdonald (James) is unique for me but very risky so im not sure what i am going to do about him, maybe ill trade him before lockout. Any possible option??

Ruckmen: Cox, Giles ( Jenkins, Redden)
Obviously Cox is a gun and so will giles. I figure giles will average approx 70-75 so that is much better than having rookies from other positions on your field who will average 60-70. Redden and Jenkins should get considerable amount of games this year!

Fowards: Chapman, Franklin, Fyfe, Martin, Sidebottom, Tomilson, Bruce ( Kerridge, Couch)
Chappy risky i know, but thiss year will be no different to last year with 100+ average for sure. Obviously my other premiums are gun and will def backup performances or surely just get better. Tomilson isnt too bad and either is Bruce. Kerridge dont knwo much about but the hype is huge on him. Couch surely to get games for dees.

SO RATE FOR A RATE :) :) :) I AM THE SIDE TO BEAT, finished welll into top 1% last year.

Backs : Strong, I dont no about carrots, (im a carlton supporter) He barely ever bangs out those bigs score but he'll always get you over 80 every week. Maybe carrazzo - broughton as i reckon hell get more midfield time . Youll also save 40K

Mids: Strong, no complaints

Rucks : Good same style as mine 1 prem 3 rook

Fwds: Not liking chappys prices as hes getting old and there is some cheaper options who will score more or the same like cloke,pav, goodes,

Hope this helps,

I know you're a carlton supporter but Carrots is a unique pickup which makes him better. Broughton is seriously a much worse pickup, wait till Mundy and Barlow come back because Broughtons midfield time goes out the door.
Goodes and Pav are also old so you cannot talk about old option. I dont want to get beams. I dont like Cloke though, as i said Chappy will be amazing again just waitch:)

BIGCOLSYLVIA · March 18, 2012, 12:42:34 PM

COME ON, RATE FOR A RATEEE!!!!!

traded Miles to Aaron Kennedy.

I am almost locked and loaded, rate my team for a rate

BIGCOLSYLVIA · March 18, 2012, 01:05:22 PM

i just looked at the byes system.
i think i may need to put heater in my team. he will probably end up there anyways.
so ive done Birchall- Heater.
hopefully this year will be the year he plays a full one

dtrain · March 18, 2012, 02:29:37 PM

9/10

thesaber05 · March 18, 2012, 09:06:24 PM

g'day mate, very good looking team just a couple of things, I dont like mcdonald, i reckon he will be the sub a few times and may get rested throughout the season, I think there are better forward rookies but yours should still score and go up in price pretty well
overall 8.5/10

rate mine?
DEF: Scotland, Goddard, Deledio, Birchal, Hargrave, Clarke, Ellis (Bugg, Wilkes)
MID: Swan, Boyd, Ablett, Watson, Clifton, Wingard (Stevens, Miles)
RUCK: Sandi, Giles (Redden, Stephenson)
FWD: Franklin, Goodes, Fyfe, Martin, Dangerfield, D Smith, Smedts (Cameron, Kerridge)

BIGCOLSYLVIA · March 18, 2012, 10:37:22 PM

thanks, yeah Mcdonald i have been undecided for a while now.

Backline is good, Scotland unique.
i dont like Jobe, he always gets injured other than that pretty good.
Rucks pretty stock standard.
Dangerfield is unique but very very risky.

i reckon 8/10 also but still very different teams :)

The Silent Partner · March 18, 2012, 11:26:09 PM

Hi BIG COL

BACKS: Pretty standard like the inclusion of carazzo dont know how unique he will end up though rooks good
MIDS:NO SWAN PENDLES interesting to see daisy there could be a good P.O.D rooks good
RUCKS: COX GILES very popular IMO Jenkins later in season I think Big O will still get a run
FWDS: Like the First four Sidey will be the interesting one in his favour he seems more durable than others rooks good

Overall a pretty solid team with minimal risk other than the premo/ rook ruck which most will have.
How much cash do you have left?

Cheers buddy for the rate. Jenkins could alright i reckon :)

Mate that is one of the best sides i have seen on the forum.

All the premiums are solid and i really like the pick of Thomas. He is a gun and will average at least 105. Personally I am more of a suckling fan over birchall and my one criticism is that the backs may be a bit weak but that depends on how Hargrave goes. If he smashes it then your laughing.

9.5/10

Can you please give my team a rate. Cheers

Thank you very much :) :)

Honestly your team is pretty amazing also. Waters unique and i like that and also scotty thompson.
I dont know how good Zakas pre season has been? Trelor injured i think so will be a good downgrade target maybe.
other than that 9/10 team without zaka and Trelor could be 9.5 also.
you team should average anywhere from 2100-2200. GOOD LUCK AND GREAT TEAM

Thorpy · March 19, 2012, 11:28:10 PM

Backs: No Complaints really strong

Mids: Loving it love the pick of Daisy although i dont have him i know he'll score well this year

Rucks: 1 Premo 3 Rooks very good choices

Forwards: Stunning other then if you really wanted to could degrade chapman but he is a good pick and could easily be worth is price tag

Heres my Team Bro

SO RATE FOR A RATE :) :) :) I AM THE SIDE TO BEAT, finished welll into top 1% last year.

backs
really solid, should have no probs here. not really sure on birchill, only suggestion is broughton. playing midfield more this season should surely lead to a lock in defense.
9/10

Mids
again, solid here, maybe magner is a good fit for your bench, cheapest you can get & if your looking to upgrade to swanny, you need all the money you can accumulate.
9.5/10

Rucks
maybe find a way to swap redden for mcintosh. mcintosh is looking good in nab cup & should start on fire. im not completely sold on having giles as a starter, maybe later in season when its clear if he will be reliable or not.
9/10

Forwards
usual suspects here, chapman is risky but is a warrior so should get 100 ppg. look at porplyzia because of his hefty discount & adelaide is looking good this season so big things to come from him. pfieffer is one to watch aswell since someone has to score points for port adelaide, he may be up there with boak scoring wise.
9/10

total score
89.3/100

heres my team
backs-goddard, shaw, delidio, broughton, bugg, clarke, ellis (guthrie, lockyer)
mids-swan, boyd, abblett, murphy, magner, shiel (smith, mcdonald)
rucks-cox, mcintosh (giles, stephenson)
fwd-johnson, franklin, beams, goodes, porplyzia, pfieffer, folau (smiedts, walsh)

my aim is to start with a strong team, upgrade rookies to strong players & be strong for finals with plenty of trades in hand. dont care about the multi bye rounds, just a waste of trades & too many limitations on player choices. rookies most likely change before round one since ts unclear who will actually play.
