Looks pretty solid besides rucks. not sure if you have had a look at the draw but a lot of people are predicting that Buddy will get off to a slow start. not sure about b.Johnson yeah he kicked 4 goals on fri night but they were from free kicks and bad marking by dons players. Need a bit of luck with adcock houlihan gamble veszpremi etc living on knifes edge. But could pay off. i that were my team i would take out some mid range and get some rookies and upgrade your backline

loose kerr

hes no good without the freedom cousins and judd provided him. he gets the tag most games now

gamble will have to cement his spot in the nab higgins may be a better look. you also have alot of injury prone guys so if they can't stay fit it may torpedo your chances.

What players would you class as injury prone !?

Those mid range players that i should look at taking out, any suggestions who !? And what changes would make my rucks & backline better !?

Cheers

A TEAM · February 17, 2009, 05:02:00 AM

injury prone players would be fisher C.Cornes houlihan rielly etc
i would take out gamble morris and fisher and up grade thomas and adcock and maybe be even Brad Johnson.

An injury prone player could be any player who catches public transport or walks in front of a tram.

Your initial team was rubbish.

You've tweaked it a little, at least Ellis, J Smith, M Clark (Ruck) and Rioli are unique selections if not at least a bit wishfull.

Ellis (Hip replacement) J Smith (tram accident?) Clark in Ruck = poo, Rioli = just 1 season too late are areas worth a look.

Just copy someone elses side? (Roll eyes)
