Hi Guys, I have been away for a while so have been out of touch. I have selected this side but am waiting to see how we go with rookies. Plenty of cash left as well.

I am thinking Heeney will play mids this year and he finished so strongly last year.

Bennell, Beams and Hartlett seem risky.

Any thoughts on structure or where to spend cash would be great.

Just about to start having a look at other people's sides

[enzedder]

I'd change Hartlett to someone else... Shaw maybe... you're not short of good options.
Your team looks good. Personally I'd choose Goldy over Grundy and consider a change where you've got Bennell but you're well placed to do well atm.

Thanks, I think Hartlett might be a risk. Also think I might be a mid short. Not sure on Goldy this year, I have had him in my team and then I change him again. Lucky I still have some cash left. Thanks heaps

[uncleswagy]

id change hartlett too, with the amount of bank youve got it wont be hard upgrading him, looking pretty good otherwise.
could also up grade beams with that money if your concerned about injury and game management

[Ringo]

Not a bad side and structure -

Couple of changes to consider a stronger D3 than Hartlett.
and Maybe downgrade Bennell to a rookie and use all cash to bring in another prem mid.  Your team and choice though,

[Glenmaggie]

Thanks for the advice, I brought in Shaw for Hartlett, swapped Bennell to Black and changed Swallow to Sloane.

Wanted JPK but was about $12 000 short.

I am still a bit unsure about grundy and beams, thinking Murphy might be a better option.

Any advice on the mix of mids?????????????????

with the murphy or beams decision it comes down to one thing to me and thats injury risk, Beams id guess will have the scoring advantage over murphy but id think murphys body would hold up better.

i wouldnt worry too much about grundy, a lot think he will break out, i think worst case is he averages mid 90s again, not what you want but also not catastrophic.

i like the mid field mix, fairly unique in treloar and rocky with out giving up scoring power to those that dont pick them

[PureSwag]

I think beams over murphy if beams stays healthy but if he doesn't then murphy it is.

Thanks for the feedback, I will stick with Grundy at the moment! Beams as well. I can't have everyone.

Yeah, fingers crossed he stays healthy. We shall wait and see

[GoLions]

Well, obviously Beams is the greater injury risk. His scoring is much better though, so depends if you are looking for a guy who can average 110-120 but potentially miss games, or a guy who probably won't go much higher than 105, but less of a chance to miss games. Personally, I like to go for broke and hope Beams plays a full season, but I'll probs get burnt :P

What i like: Defence and Forward line are perfect, although i'd prefer Touk Miller over heeney more guaranteed midfield time.

What i'd change: Goldy needs to be in there, he had niggles last year and will improve on his scoring no matter what. Grundy is good but his ruck work will stop him from being on the same level as gawn and goldy for the next year or so.
Sloane is a good POD but i'd much rather one of the sydney mids who have a better chance at hitting the 120 mark.


Only way i see those changes working is by downgrading beams... Probably to Swallow.
Swallow will make you 150k and the downgrade means you wouldn't miss out on 20-30 points per week.

Swallow (85) v Beams (110)
Miller (95) v Heeney (80)
Goldy (110) v Grundy (100)
Hanners (115) v Sloane (110)


You'd probably end up saving a trade as well because you'd end up trying to upgrade heeney and grundy. Whereas you're only upgrading swallow and have gotten a good return in the investment

[Money Shot]

Fast Track has some good advice.

Would look at doing that because Swallow could score 95 and if Beams only goes 105 the extra 200k could become critical to your team.

Hi Fasttrack

Fantastic advice, very much appreciated.

I only went for Sloane because I couldn't quite afford Hanners. the logic of saving an overall trade is sound as I have struggled to hold on to trades towards the end of each year, often dropping out of the top 100 in the last couple of rounds.

What are your thoughts on Rockliff???

I will have a play around and see how I go.

Thanks again

So this is the update, not much has changed. I have $146k leftover, thinking of ugrading Heeney to a premium I am very wary of the Key Position forwards.

Also thinking Shaw to Docherty but not sure. Keeping Grundy over Goldy for now.

Any advice would be great
