The Kids 1st attempt

pietime · January 11, 2018, 07:27:05 PM

BACK: Yeo, Laird, Hibberd, O'Shea, Doedee, S. Murray EMG: Keeffe, Ballenden

MIDS: Danger, Dusty, Mitchell, Fyfe, Pendles, O'Meara, Rayner, A. Brayshaw EMG: Ahern, Kelly Barry

Rucks : Gawn, Nic Nat EMG: English

FWDS: Buddy, Heeney, Lobb, Christensen, Higgins, W. Rioli EMG J. Garlett , L. Ryan

Cash: $34k

12 keepers. Backline a bit thin but than seems like the norm. Newbies/ Rookies to be assessed closer to RD 1. Birchell is of interest but sounds likes not training still. Same with Rioli (Hawks).

Gone deepish in midfield as want to try to lock them as early as possible.

Thoughts?.

Hi Pietime, nice team mate, pretty standard. I don't like the JOM pick, said it before and am saying it again, it will end in tears (yours and his). Also not sold on Lobb as a keeper FWD, it's a speculative pick, not a certainty. Best of luck mate!

Good team.
JOM is the glaring risk.

We all agree on JOM in SC, also Yeo may be another

Like it, even with the glaring JOM risk you still have the option to go Griffin/Armo/Ah Chee instead depending on JLT and who starts Rd. 1.

G'day Pietime.. Really like your midfield.. risk and reward with legend Pendles and very risky JOM.. I recon both will pay off. From advice from MS, O'Shea likely not in blues back 6. good team..

Thanks for the feedback. Thinking Pendles may become a point of difference which sounds crazy. O'Meara is def a big risk but I won't be alone in having him. O'Shea is a wait and see. My thinking is he will play early if not rd 1 otherwise why draft him. Griffin is a bigger risk than O'meara imo
