Glass half Full!

[RoughRed]

Cellar is getting stocked up for the 2016 season
Nearly empty after the debacle of last year
Still coming to terms with the incoming rooks, returning (injured) guns and potential breakouts
Here goes for my 1st team

Backs: KKolo, Bartel, Yeo, B.Smith, A.Francis, M.Brown (M.Brown, Byrne)

Mids: Pendles, Ablett, Rocky, Libba, Sloane, O'Meara, L. Duggan, Hopper (M.Hibberd, L. Partington, Mathieson)

Ruck: Blivcas, NicNat (Loersch)

Fwd: Delido, Martin, Motlop, Sinclair, Petrecca, Kerridge (Yarran, Kommer)

Using DDP's as much as practical to provide linkages back for coverage and potential upgrades

Moved it for you

[RoughRed]

Thanks LF :D

[T Dog]

Mate, hope this team goes well. The red wine thing is all it takes... ;D

[RoughRed]

As with anyone this team is constantly changing

BACKS: I am comfortable that I have 4 keepers plus Emac - changed Bartell to Birchall - does not seem right not having Bartell in the team but a fit fit Birchall is a must (?). Rooks still in debate - not sure about Byrne

MIDS: Pendles Abblett Rockliffe and Libba are locks for me - Lewis/Gibbs could be Hannebery/Couch. Questioning Fyfes price and fitness and role.

RUCK:Want to set and forget but can not afford Goldstein on my current structure - Coverage with DPP King/Sinclair

FWDS: Montagna is a big spend but is DPP appeals and we know he can go big. Barlow is locked now. Martin could be Dahlhaus/Lids/Motlock .  Yarran was a great goal kicker in WAFL, is mature age but js is tough to gauge with Balla n SonSon. Kommer was great in his 1st season before injury

I would like to get Duggan (WCE) in to the mix but a bit pricy

Keeping an eye on the rooks - 

[RoughRed]

Backs: Bartell back in Kolo out - still looking for rooks

Mids: Gibbs+Kerridge+Partington  out Parker+Duggan+Ahern In

Ahern ACL

[RoughRed]

Oops - thanks :)
Bugger for him though

[RoughRed]

Sunday morning review

Backs: Byrne out Collins in

Mids: Ahern out Kerridge in

Rucks Jacobs+King out Blivacs+Loesch in ... again - Just love Blivacs endurance which could be a real plus with the restricted interchange 

Forwards: Montagna+Petracca out Gunston+Menadue in

Still looking at Tags as an upgrade
As to "rooks" - Pettacca, Kerridge, Menadue are interchangeable for me, Reserve Ruck man will decided on the day
Looking at T.Bell (Coll) C.Blakely (Freo) for mids and Bryne (Calt)is still an option down back. Word is Collins is impressing at Freo BUT will that translate to games??

I have enough to turn Birchall or Smith into Simpson or Docherty but not enough to shift Blivacs to Goldy.

Any thoughts

[RoughRed]

Tom Phillips not Bell  :-[ ::)

[RoughRed]

Big changes - off drinking Cab/Merlot and onto Big Shiraz

B: Shaw, Smith, Sheridan, Lonergan, Harwood, Weitering (Adams, Hartley)
M: Fyfe, Danger, Ablett, Rocky, Parker, Libba, Gresham, Kerridge (Phillips, Davis, Petracca)
R: NN, Gawn (Grimley)
F: Barlow, Franklin, Hall, Wells, Menadue, McCarthy (Kommer, McD-T)

Enough to take
Parker => Pendles or Mitchell
Franklin => Martin
D2,D3 or D4 => Bartell

Byes 10, 11, 9 not playing

My heart would like to put Yeo back into defence but not sure as the his role with WCE in light of Brown and Wellingham
