Hit me where it hurts all!

Version 1.0

Docherty. Laird. Hartlett. Thurlow. McGrath. Newman. (Ryan. Keeffe.)

Danger. Gaz. Fyfe. Titch. Beams. Swallow. Foote. SPP. (Myers. Freeman. Graham.)

Gawn. Sandi. (Strnadica.)

Dahlhaus. Deledio. Lynch. Heeney. Eddy. Ainsworth. (Bolton. Pickett.)

$113,400 remaining.

Solid structure.

Just think with Sandi this year you need some cover whther you use Witts at R3 or bring in Ryder, Nankervis or Lycett in forwards,

Hartlett worries me a little at D3 as well.

You have $113k to adjust as well so good luck.

Glenmaggie · February 14, 2017, 09:02:05 PM

Hey mate, Deledio seems a big risk at the moment. Also, in my opinion, you have too many mid priced players, too much risk as they are unlikely too pay off. I think you need one more premium mid such as JPK, Treloar etc...
Good luck

Money Shot · February 15, 2017, 01:28:38 AM

Yeah you need some kind of cover for Sandi.

AaronKirk · February 15, 2017, 02:27:37 AM

Strndica to Witts to give bench ruck cover seems a sound move IMO.

Witts likely to be number 1 ruck and will make some cash.

Lids and Hartlett are both risky selections. I would only be selecting one of them and starting a safer other premo option.

Nice structure and decent side.

Version 1.01

So I was never really confident with Sandi, just couldn't go past his price. The last few years I've gone with set and forget Rucks and it's been the best course by far! Just means you have to be creative across other lines.

Deledio i thought may be rejuvenated at GWS but am definitely concerned with his increasing susceptibility for injury.

Hartlett I think if he can get back to his best could almost be the top scoring defender but again a big if.

So advice taken on board and adjustments made. What do we think.....?

Docherty. Laird. McDonald. McGrath. Keeffe. Newman. (Ryan. Scharenberg.)

Danger. Gaz. Fyfe. Priddis. Titch. Swallow. SPP. Foote. (Myers. Freeman. Graham.)

Gawn. Goldy. (Strnadica.)

Dahlhaus. Macrae. Heeney. Ainsworth. Bolton. Eddy. (Bowes. Pickett.)

$52,100 remaining.

Thinking Priddis may be released a little with SMitchel now at the Weagles.
Major concerns are:
1. Is Goldy over last years injury woes or is it going to be an ongoing thing similar to Beams and does it mean his workload will be managed a bit more.
2. Having both my Premo fwds from the same side but hopefully come bye time I've had enough upgrades and playing rookies to cover.

Ringo · February 15, 2017, 10:46:58 AM

Much better and solid structure.

Tossing up between Priddis and Sloane myself so sound choice there,

Most teams I have seen have Macrae and Dahlhaus in forward line. Every time I look at it have the same concern with bye and each time do not like other options for prem so revert back.

Only suggestion I would make when finalising rookies try and get F/M rookie in mids for flexibility.

Money Shot · February 15, 2017, 12:36:08 PM

Yeah solid team man! Well done :)

Glenmaggie · February 15, 2017, 06:58:33 PM

Nice team, looks better than first try. I like McDonald in the backs. Good luck

_wato · February 16, 2017, 01:53:21 AM

WHERE'S PENDLES??? All I really gotta say, solid start mate

Woppa15 · February 17, 2017, 02:43:50 PM

So I've had a bit of time on my hands and couldn't help but have a play around.

Version 1.02

Docherty. Shaw. Rance. McGrath. Keeffe. Newman. (Berry. Ryan.)

Danger. Pendles. Priddis. Fyfe. Beams. Swallow. Foote. SPP. (Gallucci. Myers. Graham.)

Gawn. Goldy. (Strnadica.)

Dahlhaus. Macrae. Heeney. Ainsworth. Bolton. Eddy (Bowes. Pickett.)

$62,300 remaining.

Hi Woppa,

I have a couple of suggestions for you.
I would find some cheaper replacements for the likes of Ainsworth, Bowes, McGrath and use that money to upgrade Strnadnica to Witts (giving you ruck coverage through the bye rounds).
I think a safer course would also be to downgrade Beams to Murphy, this would also save you some $$$ which would assist you in upgrading your D4 and/or F4 to a keeper from a rookie. You have too many rookies on field.

Best of luck!

And what cheaper rookies are you gonna bring in? Much much safer to have these more expensive guys in now, and then when round 1 teams get named, it is sooo much easier to swap rookies around when the cheaper guys are confirmed to play.

If you want to get a bit more cash, I'd either downgrade Docherty to a premo like Laird, Tmac, JJ, etc or go Heeney down to someone like Clugg, and then upgrade Beams or a mid rookie.

Also, I don't think ruck coverage is an absolute necessity if you don't have Sandi. And Witts is by no means a safe option either, because once Nicholls is fit and ready to go (should be by around round 3, I wouldn't be surprised if Witts got dropped from the team, as they have a lot of tall guys up forward and imo Nicholls > Witts quite comfortably.

Woppa15 · March 08, 2017, 11:42:33 AM

V 1.03

With the recent JLT performances of Sandy and Nank, Heeney now suffering the glandular fever and a few rookies putting their hands up and others going out injured I've had a rejig.

Shaw. Laird. Howe. Hampton. EVW. Newman. (Stewart. Guthrie.)

Danger. Ablett. Treloar. Fyfe. Titch. Beams. SPP. Barrett. (Wigg. Hibberd. Bolton.)

Goldy. Sandy. (Strnadica.)

Dahlhaus. T Lynch. Higgins. Roughy. Nank. Black. (Eddy. Pickett.)

$75,700 remaining.

Hoping 13-15 keepers in total.

ronl · March 09, 2017, 03:38:47 PM

A great looking team and little to fault but, from a personal pov, I'd prefer to see the likes of O'Meara and Swallow strengthening your mids at the expense of perhaps Roughy and Nankervis up forward, but of course it really comes down to what you feel most comfortable with and what you can afford. :)
