I"ll get in now with 2 comments:

Jenkins in ruck seems odd choice, maybe because u have spent so much on defenders (5 high priced defenders). Can u risk 2 injury prone classy players as D4 and D5 . I speak of Hartnett and Grimes.

A cheaper defender will allow u to upgrade from Jenkins to someone higher scoring

Not a bad team first up.

Think you have overspent on defenders given the number of rookies will most likely play as a general comment

Def: 5 prems/mids here probably one too many. Look at replacing either Hartlett or Grimes with a rookie,
Mids: Solid line - POD with Redden compared to a lot of teams I have seen. Ball solid mid price pick.
Rucks: Weak here Think you need another ruck here who will be a 1st choice ruckmen at the club. Can not see Jenkins fitting that requirement at Adelaide. Better options at around the same price Jamar, Lobbe, Zac Smith. If replacing a defender with a rookie maybe can go another prem like Maric, Jacobs or Goldstein. Also with Natanui in forward line may be an idea to use McBean or Rowe as R4 instead of Currie for flexibility.
Fwds. Solid - Not a fan of Monfries but may improve with a new club and with Gray possibly missing for the first month.

Overall rate 7/10 but can be improved quite easily.

Like the changes -
Just watch rookies in NAB cup before finalising.\

One of the First teams I have seen with McEvoy as Ruck may be a sound POD for you.

Like your structure as well. May just wish to use cash to upgrade in forwards if desired your choice.

Give Team 8.5/10 Well done - Select correct rookies and you are set.

Like the McEvoy pick ... and like the Walker pick as i think he will kill it again (but not a lot of upside and is a touch pricey) ... nice fairly unique picks however. :)

Good that you have DPP link with NicNac in your forward and McBean .. but due to injury interrupted pre-season i would go with Cox ... he is more consistent and a touch cheaper ... very reliable as well playing 22 in all of the past 3 seasons. And no he is not that old ;)

Ball, Menzel, Varcoe all coming back from injury ... add the unknown of if Rockcliff will play mid or fwd this is a lot of risk ...

Overall pretty good 7-8/10

Which one is more reliable?

Ringo · January 11, 2013, 03:05:42 PM

Just a personal opinion favour 2nd team. Think Johnson and Walker camcel themselves out but think Robbo is mpre consistent than Monfries. May be different at a new club though doubt it best he done SC wise was 83 whereas Robbo averaged 90 and 88 for the last 2 seasons.

Rowy · January 12, 2013, 02:46:52 PM

imao Jenkins might actually work out ok, he will get extra responsibility with tippett gone and could score very well. This would then allow you to keep the strong backline that you originally had. I personally don't have the guts to pick him but it could work.
