i am leaning towards 1 but 3 is strong and 2 has a few risky picks that ,if they come off will most probably lead to outscoring the other teams. Thanks everyone.

I think team 1 looks fairly good. Which swallow were you thinking of? I don't think it's worth getting D Swallow however, A Swallow could be a nice underdog if he regains his form from previous years. Also, not sure if its worth putting rocky in early as I think he could drop down in price with Beams now added into the Lions Midfield. I personally like your forward line. I think Swan will bounce back this year after a shocker last year.
Moving onto teams 2 & 3, it's not worth starting Gray as he can drop in price. In team 2, I think there are better picks than Griffin and Higgins. In addition, keep an eye out on Andrew Walker. Apparently his knee is still slowly healing so he could be a slow starter.

Team 3 for me.

Take out one of your premo forwards for a super-premo mid and move Swan into the forwards.

I like team 3.

You should sit on that until the NAB challenge.

Team 3 looks the goods

[Hawker_08]

Thnx for your input lads. I will sit on team 3 but have both on fanplanner. If TMitch is playing ill go 3. But if Swallow shows decent form (has had a good full preseason) in the NAB and Tmitch isnt named r1 ill switch to team 1. Both are very solid IMO and same structure. Open for more suggestions. Cheers

[Big Mac]

I'd prefer team 1

Hibberd > Smith
Goddard > Tmitch
and Watson is a bit less risky than Ward

Only issue is I don't like the Swallow pick - I can't see him in the top 10 mids next year

[Hawker_08]

Cheers Big Mac. I prefer team 1 as well tbh. Swallow is a but hit and miss. He may ave 110 and be a keeper m8 or get injured. I like the extra keeper instead of wells and rich so im not sure, thoughts?

[Money Shot]

Team 3 for me.
Gray>Martin/Goddard
Swan and Lids swap.
lids upgraded say Watson
And then use the rest of the money to get Hibberd in over Walker.

That would be a damn good team!

Would love your thoughts on mine.

Thnx MS. tbh the teams really do depend on who is getting a game and a bit on form. If A swallow is raking it up and TMtch is struggling to get a consistend game then team 1's the go, or the other way around and team 3 will be the one. Based on my predictions roughly the same score and no real difference in terms of profit. I will sit on 1 for now but have a squad just as good as a back up. Cheers for ur input. I like the suggestions too btw

[Hawker_08]

Hey guys quick question. If i were to go with team 1. Would you rather go:

Pendles + A Swallow + Cavka
Sloane + A Swallow + NVB
Sloane + Barlow/Ward/JPK + Cavka

[Money Shot]

I would go with Sloane and Ward/Barlow/Kennedy (Ward will score slightly better and has a good bye.)

[Hawker_08]

Fortnightly Update! Would love all your thoughts.

Def: Shaw, Hibber, Birchall, Hurn, Goddard, Viojo Rainbow (Wigg, McKenzie)

Mids: Ablett, Pendles, Selwood, Sloane, Watson, Heeney, Boakhorst, Freeman (Vandenberg, Dumont, Krakouer)

Ruck: Nic Nat, Kreuzer (Nankervis)

Fwd: Deledio, Goddard, Franklin, Swan, Clark, Hogan (Daniel, Lambert)

1,900 remaining
