The rucks are very solid...
The Forward line looks extremly good to
The rucks except there in no sandi he must have to be a lock

I really dont like the mids there are way to many cash cows....
Its good if you are trying to have a league win but if you want a chance at the car needs to be a better one to have a chance but very nice otherwise mate  :)

[BGK]

Thanks mate,

Im not really playing for the car. Im more of a league player.

I know everyone will lock Sandi but his durability worries me a little. It showed towards the end of last year that struggled.

I have considered putting Foley in instead of one of the cash cows but i want to see what his pre season is like.

[dale93]

Yeah and plus he could be a unique as everyone has sandi....
yeah i like foley if he is fit....can make alot of money from his price

sweet injury prone backline.. adcock, houli, grimes and then the one that likes getting report every 2nd week waite... might be a risk to go all 4 of these players, but it could pay off

[elephants]

how is grimes injury prone. isnt this his first injury?

Quote from MelbourneFC

Outstanding young prospect who needs only a bit more luck with injuries to show his true wares. A back complaint hampered him in 2008 and last year a similar injury delayed his start until round seven.

then 2009, serious hamstring in round 14 and didnt play another game for the year.

It just something to put in mind, however hopefully as a melbourne supporter he can overcome this in 2011.. and have a rippa year, IMO believe he can.

[BGK]

I like grimes as a player and I think one of these days he will get himself right. I wasn't aware houli was ever really injured just for some reason he was not all that well liked at essendon. If he gets to Richmond I think he will play 22 next year. Adcock and Waite are a worry but I want to see how they go in the nab cup. I will probably end up changing one of them. Also hodge in the mids bothers me a little, I'm thinking of changing him for someone who scores Alot more and just forget the mpp thing.

[BGK]

Ive looked at a couple of changes and moving away from the MPP ive decided to drop Waite and go for Enright. Also dropping Hodge and picking up Boyd.

[browny_wce]

not much point having Retzlaff on ur bench then
go for a decent forward rookie like Cook, Lynch, Darling etc.

touche HTM

Yes I do agree with you browny but at this point i see little point in making changes with the rookies. I need to see how they perform in the nab cup before making those decisions.
