OKAY BOYS. Some last minute feedback would be great!

[gloryboy]

Backs: Adams, Laird, Shaw, Scharenberg, Hampton, Berry (Hibberd, Ryan)

Mids: Danger, Treloar, Rocky, Fyfe, Hanners, Swallow, Powell-Pepper, Myers (Freeman, Graham, Pickett)

Rucks: Gawn, Grundy (Strnadica)

Forwards: Dahl, Macrae, Heeney, Black, Mcluggage, Ainsworth (Drew, Eddy)

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

Solid team!
Grundy is a good selection, less risk, and more unique than Goldy at the momemt.
I like Caddy or Ryder over Heeney.  I think they are safer selections.
I'd stick with Shaw over Docherty.

Change Treloar to Pendles and Rocky to Bont and you pretty much have the FF standard team. Sometimes that not a bad thing, othertimes its just too stock standard.

I disagree with a few of these players and I think they will be popular than they should due to being more hyped than a rabbit on sugar. I won't repeat them here as ive done it in other topics.

[PureSwag]

If I were you I would try and put in Pendles maybe remove rocky or Trevlor.

Who do you suggest I bring in? It is hard not to go with the tried and trusted. I went for too many POD players last year and got burnt!

What if got rid of Heeney for another rookie and brought in Pendles? I have enough cash left to do it. Does that leave me too short in the forwards?
Also I am worried about having too many premium mids to start. Be nice to see how they get along. Can't see pendles getting too much higher than 640

I like that move.  Essentially gives you Pendles instead of Heeney.  And there are plenty of FWD rookies around to fill your FWD line.
While Pendles wont get much higher than 640k, he unlikely to go much under 600k given how consistent he is.
Easier to start him than try and get him in later

Okay, this is the fourth go. I am loving the midfield, it doesn't really have any POD players in there, this is concerning me a little. Forward line is looking light on, not sure about the rookies, it is all speculative at the moment.

Not much wriggle room with the mids either.


Thanks for the feedback so far, any thoughts are very welcome.

[Ringo]

Do not be worried with mids as Treloar 12%, Hanners 11% and Rocky 10% ownership at present.

Watch Simpkin as I think he has an injury.

Structure is sound and team worth sitting on

Good move to bring in Pendles.   Team looks much better.   Would not worry about PODs   make those moves are seeing who is stepping up this year.   

[Money Shot]

Very nice team almost identical to mine.

I have an extra mid premium and you have an extra defender premium though.

I like it. As said earlier wait until you start upgrading to look for the pods.

Thanks, I am still unsure on whether to take a risk with a mid pricer, there are plenty of good options, but I got burnt so badly last year.

fairly sure simpkin is just recovering from his broken leg last year, id imagine he'll be ready round 1


Team is looking good

[Glenmaggie]

Alright, I have been working on this team for too long now! I had gone with the tried and true approach but my team was looking like everyone else's there for a while. My head says to stay with a guns and rookies approach but stuff it I am having some fun.

This is the new look team

Shaw, Adams, Tuohy, Hampton, Otten, Mitch Hibberd (Vickers Willis, Z Guthrie)
Danger, Hanners, Proddis, Fyfe, T Mitchell, Beams (or Murphy), Swallow, Brodie (Powell Pepper, Pickett (looking shaky), Miles)
Gawn, Sandi (Strnadica)
Riewoldt, Dahlhaus, Roughhead, Nankervis, Bowes, Simpkin (Schoenmakers, Eddy)

30k left.

So many risks I feel. I think Nankervis could work as a top 6-8 forward or a very good backup for sandi.
Happy with Priddis and Titch as POD as opposed to Pendles who I think is just too much.

Round 13 bye is looking a bit shaky.

Roughy is a possible downgrade to improve mids or upgrade Tuohy.

Thoughts please guys?????

[Glenmaggie]

Also, thinking of attempting to get Caddy in place of Roughhead. Downgrade Swallow to do so.

[Ringo]

Structure still sound>

Not fussed on Tuohy last year was the first time he averaged above 80. New club maybe but a watch for me.
Riewoldt is overpriced due to massive end of last season. Will still be a top forward but expect price drop which is why I am targeting him when he bottoms out.

Some nice PODs.  This year is the year to take risks because for the first time in 3 years we have a level playing field no GWS, Suns and Bomber Top ups to rely on.
