Hey fellow SC'ers!

PLease give me your thoughts on the below.........

Backs: Shaw, Laird, Bartel, Weitering, Dea, Brown (Hartley, K.Collins)

Mids: Danger, Ablett, Jelwood, Rockliff, Libba, b.Crouch, Mills, Kennedy (Menadue, hewett, davis)

Rucks: Martin & NN (Grimley)

Fwds: Barlow, rioli, Franklin, T.Greene, Wells, Kerridge (McCarthy and Tipungwuti)

I have left out Martin up FWD purely because I think he will be cheaper about round 5. Richmond have a tough draw to start. Its a risk but it has allowed me to then get Crouch and a second set & forget ruckman.

The other option I could do is NN down to Zac Smith and upgrade Jelwood to Pendles or Fyfe!

Thoughts would be great thanks!

I have just done NN down to Zac Smith and upgraded Jelwood to priddis and Franklin to Bennell. Let me know which team looks better!

Rioli can be inconsistent and injury prone although he has improved... a risk picking him

Rioli can be inconsistent and injury prone although he has improved... a risk picking him

massive risk charms however last year he played more games and that was due to him training at 100% rather than 75%. With roughy out I think he will be more important for them to win games.

Any suggestions for other players around that price?

Firstly Bennell is injured for round 1...

[charms0604]

S. Gray was recommended to me, so unless anyone has any better ideas I'll stick with him

Let us know what you think of my team

[gracey89]

Firstly Bennell is injured for round 1...

I only just seen this! Thanks

[gracey89]

Have done some shuffling and come up with the following!

Advice would be great thanks.

Backs: Shaw, Rance, Rich, Smith, Weitering, Dea (Brown, Hartley)

Mids: Danger, Ablett, Hannebery, Selwood, Rockliff, Crouch, Mills, Kerridge (Menadue, Keays, R.Davis)

Rucks: NN & Z.Smith (grimley)

Fwds: Barlow, Greene, Hall, Wells, Kennedy, Milera (McCarthy, Tipungwuti)

Thoughts?

[Ringo]

Not sure how much cash you have left Gracey to adjust rookies.  Would not have Keays at all as I can not see him lasting past Rd 1 as he would be the Zorko replacement if named.

Only other issue apart from rookies I have is rucks.  Think to be competitive you would need one of Goldy, Martin, Gawn or Jacobs as well.  Go with gut though if you think NN and Smith can match the scores.

If out of cash I would look at downgrading one of Smith/Rich to Adams or similar playing defensive rookie.

Hi Ringo,

Thanks for the reply and feedback. Don't think the backline is too weak?

Thanks

[gracey89]

My current Team:

Backs: Shaw, Rance, Gibson, Smith, Weitering, Adams (tippa, Dea)

Mids: Ablett, Danger, JPK, Shiel, Rocky, B.Crouch, Mills, Menadue (davis, caff, Gresh)

Rucks: NN & Leuey (grimly)

Fwds: Barlow, J Riewoldt, Hall, Wells, Kennedy, Kerridge (brown, McCarthy)

I am thinking of doing Caff to Parish and then Gresh to Papley and moving kerridge to the mids. Thoughts please?

I can then use rocky as a loophole option with gaz into danger.

Would like your opinions please.
