is it getting better...?

[mcpies]

TEAM NAME: mc
DEF: B. Goddard, B. Deledio, J. Grimes, N. Grima, R. Conca, M. Clarke, S. Morris (B. Ellis, T. Mohr)
MID: S. Pendlebury, G. Ablett jnr, D. Zaharakis, M. Barlow, S. Docherty, S. Kerridge (J. McDonald, D. Shiel)
RUC: A. Sandilands, M. Leuenberger (J. Giles, O. Stephenson)
FWD: L. Franklin, N. Fyfe, D. Martin, J. Brown, A. Christensen, J. Porplyzia, A. Treloar (D. Zorko, A. Saad)
CASH LEFT: $1,700

zaharakis will be moved to 6th or 7th forward when the byes start , i hope....

[Dave80]

Not bad mate! Only criticism I've got is the four Richmond players in the backs try cut it to 2. Conca is interesting selection!
I don't rat teams out of 10 so, minor improvement needed in back line to start with, watch fyfe he's still not back to full fitness!

[mcpies]

tks dave , did not notice the 4 richmond players , but would hope to have traded out elis and morris when their byes come around...will also look for a different rookie for morris..
fyfe is a concern , i think he is needed , but do you take the risk and not have him at the start and use a trade on him later..?

ellis and morris and maybe even conca (who is a dead set gun must have this season IMO) will be upgrades by the bye in round 13 so i wouldnt worry about that.

for me zaka belongs on the fwd line not going to be good enough to be in top 10 midfielders

rucks are awesome

yeah and make sure fyfe is a starter for round 1 and fit, word is he won't be, otherwise upgrade to him later on. And brown for SC? not sure im new to SC but i'm not sure KPP forwards are big scorers in SC.

Good team indeed, onlt other problem is pendles zaka and barlow all have round 12 bye, anotehr reason to move zaka to fwd line and put another gun in the mids instead

[Ringo]

Agree with Colli Zaha should be in forward line.
Brown is great for SC as his style of play suits the SC scoring eg Contested Marks, Mark on a Lead, and will average at least 95+ based on previous years so bargain at the price.
Docherty is also another one that may be doubtful for Round 1.
Overall Risks to be watched as I see them
Grimes Injury prone
Clarke is he in pies best 22
Grima and Conca can they perform and increase?
Brown and Porplyza coming back from Injury

Good Team now.

[ben_020285]

Backs: Would not have Grimes in there because he's just too injury prone. Not sure about Grima or Conca either.

Mids: Solid but I prefer Zaha in the fwd line.

Rucks: Perfect.

Fwds: Very solid. Christensen is a good unique. Hopefully pays off for you!

[mcpies]

tks colli , ben and ringo ,
will move zaha to the fwds , may move fyfe out if doubt about starting ..

i would put zaka in riolis spot too hot and cold is that fella for mine. And zaka supposed to have a breakout season.
downgrade buntine thats too much extra money for a rook.
if grimes looks great in nabcup fine leave it if not you can upgrade him with money from downgrading buntine
fwd line a bit too midpriced for my liking i would make porps a rook too and maybe upgrade brown or just leave it as it is with brown and use the money from porps to make grimes a premium. i think a rook can make you more money than porps as fast or faster and i dont think porps will become a keeper.

Won't know till after nabcup but for now all your rooks seem to be the right rooks

Rucks are perfect, mids are perfect enough.

Strong side.

[mcpies]

tks colli ,
what you say about zaka and rioli makes sense and will be done ,
will look at other def rooks for buntine , porps and grimes will be looked at over nab , tks for your thoughts

[mcpies]

still trying to get the balance right .....

Holy toledo! your forward line is SMOKING, 1 of christensen or brown would be plenty i think, but both good choices if you can fit them, but your defence is now one short in my opinion.

Rucks great
mids great
def a bit light
fwd a bit heavy

Still I trust conca will be close to a keeper given the opportunity this year, grimes we all know has the potential, so if they both work out your defence would be fine and cheap :)

[SAMCRO]

Agree with Colli, def a bit light and fwd a bit heavy. Other than that all good.

[mcpies]

tks colli and samcro ,
again great advice , will look at maybe a rookie for christensen and put some money into the backline ...
