$119,000 CASH LEFTOVER

Thoughts on the team?? With abit of cash left over i may upgrade sandi to cox and upgrade montagna..

[Colliwobblers]

good structure, solid team, a couple of the picks aren't my favourite players but that's personal oppinions.

You have some expensive rooks in there and through nab cup you might fins just as good or better options for less money so that will allowyou the upgrades you mentioned.

Not sure about 3 rook rucks but your one of many doing it so good luck it could be a genius plan or cost you a ton of points on your opposition before you upgrade??

if you are going 3 rooks look at rowe too, and i think horsely still a rookie needs to be promoted. Not sure on pfieffer or blee starting round 1 but we will see in time :)

Nice team should be in for a good season.

Thanks Colliwobblers.. Most my rookies will change throughout the Nab cup i reckon. With the 3 rookies aslong Sandi gets back to his best and giles averages around 70 ill be happy. Apparently Giles is a gun, he averaged something like 100 last year, but then again that was in the NEAFL. He must have some sort of potential. You reckon Rowe will actually get a game though?

[Colliwobblers]

yeah they didnt get him in for nothing, but when he gets his first game, if he is the sub and how much tog he gets are the questions. and yeah with the rucks they already have he might ruck but not a lot more time up forward i think

[fabg]

yeh that's fair enough.. might wait untill NAB to see him play. what u reckon of fyfe? he may get payed more attention this year and is abit overpriced.

fyfe has had an interrupted preseason, so one to be cautious of.  Thinking of using him as an upgrade target myself.

[fabg]

thanks for the heads up charliesheen. Who you thinking of? i had goodes previously

[charliesheen]

I've got Pav in my team right now over Fyfe.

It was hard leaving out both SJ & Fyfe due to their limited preseasons.

[fabg]

i think ross lyon will use pav as a forward all season though. Thats my only doubt about the pav

[charliesheen]

don't think thats going to be an issue for me tbh. 

marks on lead + goals = win.

[fabg]

true.. lets see how his nab goes

[charliesheen]

wouldn't surprise me if he is put in cotton wool like last years NAB.

these things you just need to back yourself and have faith they will come good based on their proven record.
