Revised Supercoach Team

Watto · February 06, 2010, 12:22:37 AM

I know this is light in the midfield, but I think Swift, Shiels and Tengove could all be keepers, or at least that they will get to ~$450,000 from where I can upgrade to a premium.

So anyway here's my team:

Goddard, Hodge, Gilbee, Carrazzo, Gram, Hunt, Waters + (Sheppard, Moore)
Ablett, Vince, Swift, Shiels, Trengove, Martin + (Morabito, Bastinac)
Jolly, Tippett + (Warnock, Skipper)
Goodes, Riewoldt, O'Keefe, Pavlich, Polkinghorne, Lobbe, Davis + (Tapscott, Dennis-Lane)

brilliant backline but terrible midfield, but could make money in early rounds

I agree...Huge punt the kids will get games...If none do, YOU'RE SCREWED

Yeah well apparently Shiels is dominating all things fitness at Hawthorn, and Swift is going solidly for the Weagles.

I agree Trengove and Martin really need to get games for this to work, but even if it doesn't I can downgrade Tippett to Charman, if he plays, and upgrade my mids

@bjrouse - who are you referring to as 'the kids'?

I don't mind the rookie midfield starters strategy - thinking of using it myself.

Your forwards do look a problem though. Needing two of Lobbe, Davis, Tapscott and Dennis-Lane to play is a big risk.

Even if Lobbe plays his scoring will be terrible and he won't be that much of a cash cow - he is the MPP ruck backup so could be useful for that. I see him more of a downgrade target later in the season.

I think you could add another mid-price potential breakout forward to lower you risk a little - the likes of Dangerfield, Henderson, Kennedy, Mayne etc. Polkinghorne types.

As with all of us - review rookies post NAB Cup

waters might not play come round 1.
jolly might see a scoring decrease because of the change of teams. Sydney was a stoppage team. collingwood aren't and jolly also have fraser and wood to share time with (fraser a wing type player i heard).
swift should improve and i would keep a close eye on shiels to see if he fits into the hawks line up with other youngsters coming through
.
gone with a 2 rookie starting strategy myself as thats where all the good rookies are this year. 8)
