I'm a first time poster but a long time reader of this site and i'm wanting some input on my Supercoach side ;D I was happy with last year's efforts as i finished around the 800th mark. Looking forward for a great year! Here it is:

TEAM NAME: Supercoach Trial
DEF: B. Goddard, B. Gibbs, J. Watts, G. Broughton, S. Docherty, L. Stevenson (S. Colquhoun, D. Terlich)
MID: G. Ablett jnr, D. Beams, P. Dangerfield, N. Fyfe, A. Gaff, B. Moloney, J. Lonergan, J. O'Meara (M. Jones, J. Viney)
RUC: T. Goldstein, M. Leuenberger (S. Rowe, B. Grundy)
FWD: D. Cox, T. Rockliff, S. Johnson, S. Higgins, J. Kennedy, B. Staker (T. Lee, S. Dwyer)
CASH LEFT: $10,500

From my past experiences you ain't going to achieve great things without having some 'smokies' in your team and i've added a few in Watts, Dangerfield, Fyfe, Gaff, Moloney and Higgins who i see averaging 95, 125, 115, 105, 90 and 95. I only have Dwyer in their because ATM i can't afford a standard Fwd rook. I also have Rowe for R/F flexibility if one of my ruckmen go down. He also means i can hopefully have a captain's loophole candidate every week (He is the best R/F rookie for a loophole candidate because in the first 10 rounds Carlton have 46 games before theres, far better than West Coast's and Richmonds)

What are your thoughts everyone?? They'll be much appreciated.

Nice Team hawkers with some good POD's as you say.  Agree with all you have said except Missy Higgins - If he can get his body right and stay injury free the season the that will be a bonus for you. Been burned by him before.
Will not comment on rookies as none of us really know who will play and how they play in the NAB cup. Like the choice though of your current rookies.

DEF: Solid Line Just a little concerned with Watts at D3 though. May come off for you.
MID: Strong line here with some POD.  Gaff and Moloney are the interesting ones.  Moloney will get a lot of it at Brisbane as he was targeted for his ball winning ability, and Gaff if he can get some consistency into his scores this year will be a great POD.  Will the points though be shared though between Shuey, Gaff and Priddis.  Think it will come down to who is more consistent out of Shuey and Gaff as to who has the better year. Fyfe if his shoulder has recovered will continue to improve and Dangerfield should maintain this years standard.  Slight concern with Beams as to how he will be used with Balls return.  Will be OK if Swan spends more time forward.
Rucks: Can not fault
FWD: Only concern here is Higgins as outlined above, 

Good initial team that has uniqueness about it and Rate 8/10.

Thanks Heaps Ringo! I swapped Moloney out for Ball and Dwyer for Growden, before you commented. Lucky for me i've never had Higgins in my side so i haven't been burnt and the word is he is ABSOLUTELY killing it. He shows great goal kicking ability and with the Doggies struggling to find any avenues to goal, i think if he can consistency kick 2-3 goals a game, he can take his average up a notch to average 95. Watts had an average year and yet still averaged 86. He shows great SC potential (scored 150) and he should settle in to his new role and become a solid 95 averaging player. Gaff is an outside player with unbelievable disposal efficiency and kicks a lot more than handballs (Great for SC) Priddis and Shuey are the ones to go in and get it out to players like Gaff. So hopefully won't affect his scores. Looking at a third year break out for an average of 105+. Fyfe is an absolute jet and will better last year's average of 108 to around 115 and he is only priced at 93!. I see Danger averaging around the 120-125 mark with natural progression and looks like a player who doesn't get affected by tags. I don't see Ball as a concern to Beams as if you go back to the end of 2011 Beams had scores of 179, 108, 117, 121 and 114 while Ball was playing in a season where he was no where near as good and only averaged 100. So no problem there.

These are just my opinions, your feedback means A LOT!
