what thoughts guys???


also what do you think other good options are instead of the goddard gibbs and deledio trio

Missing a forward mate. Mite be why u got so much left :P

If your missing forward is Chris Knights, then I think you have a very good team with all the essential picks this year. My main criticism would be that you have too many injury prone players (Otten and Petrie are fine because of their low price and huge upside, but Grimes, Anthony, Foley and Higgins are all pretty risky). Kieren Jack is also a risk as he will probably have to tag more often with Kirk gone. 8/10

I think Gibbs is the only really essential pick out of those three. If Daniel Connors can keep up his form from the last 10 games of 2010 he'll be a great alternative to Deledio, though he doesn't have the proven long term durability and consistency of Lids. Also, looking at Goddard as an upgrade target after Round 4 rather than a starter could be a good move, as you'll still get 18-19 games from him but you'll avoid that pesky bye.

haha major fail on behalf, but yes knights was the other player i neglected to mention in the fwd line....

thanks for the feedback and the risks are certainly something to consider,

just trying for a more unique team as everyone is pretty much posting the same sort of team.... might take ur advice with goddard and look at someone a little cheaper in the backs and up kieren jack
