Team Popedelio is here for season 2011

[popedelio]

I have finally posted my team up for some criticism from my fellow fanfooty friends.

I'm little unsure with Karnezis, I would prefer him on the bench, though i also want Prestia in the midfield, so who would you reccomend to have as a 7th foward? And no i dont want Petterd.

Brendon Goddard, Bryce Gibbs, Brett Deledio, Paul Duffield, Beau Waters, Andy Otten, Ben Jacobs
Daniel Talia, Cameron O'Shea, Paul Puopolo

Dane Swan, Matthew Boyd, Leigh Montagna, Andrew Gaff, Dyson Heppell, Dion Prestia
Ryan Lester, Dylan McNeil, Ian Callinan

Dean Cox, Darren Jolly
Tom McDonald, Zac Smith

Paul Chapman, Lance Franklin, Colin Sylvia, Nick Riewoldt, Daniel Giansiracusa, Drew Petrie, Patrick Karnezis
Jack Darling, Brandon Matera, Tendai Mzungu

Cash Left: $80,200

I would like to keep this cash in the bank give or take 20k, but still criticise away and reccomend some pickups for me.

issaac ssmith as 7th forward. too easy. hes gunna be a jet. he'll be a keeper and so will knights. i dont like your rucks. cox is too old and nick naitanui is minimising his time in the ruck. dont like jolly either. hes just a big slow ruckman imo. get some legspeed in here.

who is and why have you picked puopolo, o shea. lester mcniel callihan. never heard of them. will they play??

allround solid team Popedelio, just a structural comment

goddard
boyd & montanga

i reckon its a touch to many apart from that good team, won't comment on the rookies we gotta wait till nab cup for that

i do agree this. i think you should i sandi as first ruck (he is resting in the forward line this season so should kick some goals). as a second ruck i would choose Kreuzer as a keeper (but he is coming back form a big injury) or you could fraser and look to upgrade later in the season

Is it it just me but do those two comments contradict eachother. If Cox is playing less ruck then that means he is playing more foward. I would like to backup my choice for going cox over sandi, one is that coxy isn't too old, he might be 30 this season but hell sandi is going to be 29 this season, not too much of a difference. Cox played out all the games last season with an interrupted preseason, the reason why he could push through is with the backup of Nat, where as Sandi as no ruck  backup and therefore less durable. Coxy did have more points overall because he did play all games where sandi didn't. If Cox has a full preseason hes goood to go and more durable with the help of Nat, Nic Nat isn't really going to hurt the coxy, it's going to get him through the season.

Though all your comments are very valid I just think Cox is the better choice this season. Though I do agree with Jolly.

cox is not old, ruckmen peak at a much later age and cox is just moving through that bracket.
