post nab cup team

[Footyrulz]

Unless something big happens in the practice matches, this is (probably  ;) ) my final side. ill go through my picks below.

Salary cap left: $19,600.

Brendon Goddard, Bryce Gibbs, Paul Duffield, Dyson Heppell, Jasper Pittard, Sam Docherty
Lewis Stevenson, Dean Terlich

Gary Ablett jnr, Scott Pendlebury, Matt Priddis, David Mundy, Brent Moloney, Brett Goodes, Kane Mitchell, Brad Crouch
Jaeger O'Meara, Jack Viney

Todd Goldstein, Matthew Leuenberger
Sam Rowe, Daniel Currie

Lance Franklin, Jarryd Roughead, Tom Rockliff, Steve Johnson, Matthew Wright, Brent Macaffer
Brent Staker, Tom Lee

DEF:
Everyone has Goddard and Gibbs.
Love the look of duffield and heppell, both have brilliant form.
Some very good defence rookies this year so have 4.

MID:
Ablett and Pendles are the best 2 players.
Priddis and Mundy are both ultra consistent, underpriced and unique.
Wasn't sure on Moloney to start with but was brilliant in pre season and should get back to his best.
Most common rookies, i don't like to pay extra for them.

RUC:
Lots have gone off Goldy and i thought i might too, but he was brilliant without mcintosh last season and don't think pre season should account for too much with premiums.
Rest is self-explanatory.

FOR: 
Have to have buddy and rockliff
I prefer roughy to ryder and cox to his ultra consistency.
I know stevie J is suspended for round 1, but it means i can do the loophole and i think he will easily make up the 30 or so points throughout the season anyway.
Wright is my unqiue and breakout contender.
barely any rookies in the forward line, those 3 are the only ones i can see actually getting a game.

Any thoughts much appreciated!

Def: Two good picks i Duffield and Heppell, the rest is standardto most other teams on this site.
Mids: Ahappy to see Priddas in there. would be one of the most consistent out there and am liking the Mundy pick. I have him as well.
Rucks: A bit of a worry. You say Goldstein rucked well when Hmac didnt play, well the form of Currie looks like he will geta go. How will Goldygo when another second ruckman comes in? And Leuenberger well Voss said yesterday he is in doubt for round 1 so might have get him out.
Forwards. Roughead a better pick than Cox, Really? buti dont mind the rest of the picks, Stevie Is an ok one since i feel he is in for a massive year and Wright will improve, just not sure how much by.

I'll give it a 7.5/10 mainly due to your rucks and no Cox.

DEF: Looks great. Early signs show that Heppell will truly breakout this year. Duffield should end up with an average around the 100 mark. Goddard and Gibbs should be in every good team.

MID: Ablett and Pendles will be the top 2 scorers in Sc this year. Priddis is super consistent and underpriced but will the upcomers in the Eagles midfield eat into his points this year. Gaff, Shuey and S Selwood could mean that Priddis SC scores may suffer. Mundy is a great pick and underpriced, I think at worst he will average 105 and could easily go 110. Moloney is another who is very underpriced but don't expect him to be a keeper, I think a 95 average is realistic. Some good picks but not enough guns in the engine room.

RUCKS: The Golstein/Berger combo was standard before NAB but now it is just too risky for mine. Leuey probably won't play round 1 and will be underdone for the first few rounds anyway. With Goldstein, I know it's only NAB Cup but he has looked shaky at best and Currie has indeed looked better than him. I would have a think about upgrading Leuey to a premium ruck and swapping Goldstein with Daw and starting Currie on the field.

FWDS: Good looking forward line. There are arguments for and against starting with Buddy, I for one will be looking to him as an upgrade target. Roughy is a gun and should at the very least maintain his average. Rock is a lock. Stevie J looks to be a good pick this year with his anticipated increase of time in the midfield. Wright is a but risky as he will most likely have tagging duties in some games.

Overall a good side which I think needs a few little adjustments. 8/10.

Thanks very much for the advise.

Brad Scott said he would only play Goldstein in round 1 so as long that stays the same, I still think he's the best option.

Looks like Berger will have to go. Might downgrade Moloney to a rookie and upgrade him to Mcevoy

I feel cox is a bit too old and inconsistent for his price but I see where you're coming from.

Thanks very much for the tips.

I don't think priddis will be effected because he's not the type of player that move up forward.

Wright is a risk, but I think one worth taking with the extra trades this year.

See above for ruck discussion!
