Not sure about Nakia, with Geelong boosting their Midfield, I can't see him playing a game.

Would have thought Menzel would have that role covered, you reckon they'll play both?

Have the Cats lining up something like:

Enright, Taylor, Lonergan
Thurlow, Henderson, Mackie
Duncan, Jelwood, Lang
Bartel, Hawkins, Motlop
Vardy, Clark, Menzel
Stanley, Danger, Guthrie

Caddy, Murdoch, Cockatoo, Blicavs

It will be tough but he will play early and then probably get dropped if lacking form like last year. They will give him chances anyway
Cats have a handy side though!

I see him playing half the games and averaging 50. Not in my considerations at all ... Even if named round one I'll be staying away. Apart from that it is a great side.

Cheers fellas appreciate the feedback, had a few drinks with a cats supporter last night whom shares your opinions on cockatoo. At this stage will keep this structure and either downgrade cockatoo to a cheap rookie and spend the cash and bring in Hopper to my mids or try find cash and turn cockatoo into Lyons. Usually dont like too many mid pricers though so 3 200+ plus could b risky.

Mantis · February 02, 2016, 01:26:28 AM

Def - Kolo, Bartel, Rich, Smith, M.Brown, Bonner (Hartley, Collins)

Mids - Ablett, Gray, JPK, Shiel, Rocky, Libba, Crouch, Freeman (Ahern, Keays, Menegola)

Rucks - Goldstein, Lobbe (Goetz)

Forwards - Deledio, Martin, Greene, Wells, Simpkin, Kerridge (Petracca, Adams)

So far in this team the riskier picks will be Rich, Shiel, Greene. Happy to make corrective trades early if any don't pay off. Think all 3 are in for improvement.

Def - Love the way KK goes about it. Have been swapping the other 3 a fair bit, Yeo has been on the radar also. Rich is more of a gut feel, hadn't been sucked in previous years but hoping to jump on at the right time. Bartel i'm adding for some consistency and the obvious discount.

Mids - Ablett first picked, Rocky second. Gray and JPK proven guns. Shiel my midfield pod. Think Shiel is a beast and will score big often.

Rucks - Have tried a few different combos and was never happy with it unless Goldy was selected. Lobbe will be a stepping stone for me, think he will score well enough and rise enough so i can decide between NicNat, S.Martin or Jacobs.

Forwards - Deledio and Martin locked for me. Greene's 2014 season was impressive, happy to take a punt on him in the forward line. Have had Barlow in and out of my team also. Simpkin and Wells both in best 22, both should make some good money early.

This year will be very interesting, can see already a big variety in teams, including premium selections. My side has changed alot and no doubt will continue to change haha, only premiums i am locking in so far are Deledio, Ablett, Martin, Rockcliff.

Mantis · February 02, 2016, 02:59:00 PM

Yet another change, will sit on this side for now. So many players to watch over during NAB.

Def - Kolo, Bartel, Smith, Mackenzie, M.Brown, Wagner (Adams, Hartley)

Mids - Fyfe, Pendles, Ablett, Shiel, Rocky, Libba, Crouch, Freeman (Cuningham, Ahern, Keays)

Rucks - Martin, Lobbe (Goetz)

Forwards - Deledio, Martin, Franklin, Greene, Kerridge, Petracca (Kommer, Yarran)

Ringo · February 03, 2016, 11:07:45 AM

Yep sit on this team - Well structured with a couple of POD's as well. Just personal but maybe a bit much spent by having both Fyfe and Pendles and not a fan of Lids at his price with dodgie hammies.

Good Luck.

Mantis · February 03, 2016, 09:28:42 PM

Thanks for the comment mate. I keep getting close to downgrading Pendlebury as i want Shiel as a POD but then i look at his last 5 years and cant bring myself to do it. GAJ locked. Decided since im taking a chance and not starting Goldy i love having Fyfe as another captain option.

Unsure on Franklin in my team, think he will have some big games im just worried about him missing games as has been a regular occurrence over the past 5 seasons. Not sure who to have instead, initially locked in Barlow but the more i look at Fremantle's line up the more i think he will get a half forward flank role.

fasttrack13 · February 03, 2016, 09:39:53 PM

I agree with ringo... Fyfe is a guy you will be able to trade in during the year!
Beams is a pod who I think will be a top 5 mid and if you trade down Fyfe to him then you can get Greene to Barlow which would be ideal...

Apart from that and lobbe (a guy I don't like sc wise) it's a very good team!

Mantis · February 03, 2016, 09:47:15 PM

Thanks mate appreciate the feedback. Big fan of Beams, definitely will consider that.

What do ya's think of Franklin -> Simpkin, Gray -> Shiel, Lobbe ->Goldy. Rucks would be set and forget, i get my pod in Shiel and cash generator in Simpkin. Thanks for the feedback guys
