How confident are you in your reserves now the byes are over?

Next week my team will be finished and i think my bench is a real strength. in terms of first cab off the rank.

Carrazo will be covering my back and mid as first choice he is my 8th back premo i got in this week. Ellis my rook.

In the Midfield i have Gibson and Luke Brown for the link which allows me to use Carrots also.

My ruck i have Giles.

And my forward line i have Tippet and Zorko.

Wow, i like it

I think my bench is a really strong part of my side.
Team after RD 15
DEF: Goddard Deledio Carrazzo Waters Birchall H.Shaw Hargrave (Ellis/Darley Townsend)
MID: Swan Ablett Pendles Thompson J.Selwood T.Rockliff (Treloar Gibson)
RUC: Roughead Griffen (Giles Redden)
FWD: Beams Sidebottom Franklin Robinson Chapman Dangerfield Zorko (Martin Pattison)

Still unsure of who I'm going to trade out of Darley/Ellis for Carrots next week. Firstly, there price needs to be within $135,000. Ellis should do that easy, Darley will be real close. If possible I'll probably trade out Darley because Ellis has got better JS.

The way Zorko is playing ATM he'll get a run before Martin (will play both this week due to Pendles injury)
The RUC/FWD DPP is pretty unique. Having Roughy and Pattison will allow me to play Giles if I get a 2nd injury/rest/suspension in my MID or FWD line (Martin will cover 1st one)

i'm not saying Carrots is my worst premo but he is just the last guy i traded in so i just use him as an example, if my team is full strength i'd probably put Adcock on the pine or just look at matchups and try to pick who will spud it up.
I really wanted to have a decent player on every line as i don't think i have played a full strength side once this year, so backup is crucial.

Ahh sorry correction I have Sexton and Zorko on my forward bench but i will decide between Tippet and Zorko who will play.

I am doing fairly well and used the multibye rounds to do two things
1) Upgrade and get premos
2) Get solid bench cover (players who are in a team's top 22).

7 Trades left, $154,200 in the bank
Overall Rank 57

Here is my current line up..

B: Deledio, Goddard, Waters, Grimes, Adock, Hargrave, Clarke (S.Shaw, N.Brown)
M: Swan, Ablett, Boyd, Watson, Thompson, Barlow (McDonald, Sexton)
R: Cox, Giles (Stephenson, Redden)
F: Franklin, Beams, Chapman, Sidebottom, Robinson, Dangerfield, Zorko (C.Pearce, Treloar)

As you can see, I have a couple of wierd names on my bench, but it's for a reason. I picked up N.Brown for Ellis and C.Pearce for D.Martin last week.

"WHAT?....you traded out D.Martin" I hear you say? Well firstly it allowed me to avoid a doughnut, secondly if you take Pearce's sub scores out he averaged 4ppg more than martin, thirdly I pocketed $60K, fourthy I intend to play Zorko on the field and fifthly he is solid bench cover - which is how it links back to the main thread of this post. Last week Pearce netted me a handy 79 points... sweet!

The other guy I picked up was N.Brown from Collingwood who is good for 50ppg (which is about the same as a rookie like S.Shaw etc BUT N.Brown is top 22 and will play if fit!)

Considering Clarke to Carrazzo like the rest of the world is this week...

A fully fit team would mean these are my reserves.

D - S. Shaw, Spurr

M - T. Adams, Gibson

R - Stephenson, Pyke

F - Dickson, Sexton

Pretty happy with that tbh.
