Fids first crack for 2018

Fid · December 31, 2017, 08:55:23 PM

not much left in the kitty, so I will have to cut an expensive rookie or two

Hi Fid, I like your team overall, with the exception of Rocky, that's a dirty donut you'll cop in R10. I'd be looking to bring him in post R10 if you are hell bent on having him.

Would also look at when finalising rookies having one as a M/f so you can switch if needed especially in Rd 10 if keen on keeping Rocky. You have 3 in forward line at the moment so could quite easily slot one to mids.
Personally looking at Rocky as an upgrade after Rd 10 if form warrants and we see how he gels at the Power.
Good first up effort and not a bad team.

Not a bad effort Fid can you scrape another 6K and turn Rocky into Hanners maybe you can downgrade Menegola that would eliminate bye problem with Rocky ? but that aside good team

Thanks for your advice I ended up with this, and now have a bit more in the kitty....

I would be a bit concerned abiutvthe number of R14 Premiums. Also brave choice leaving out Hawthornâ€™s number one player

I like it! Good work Fids

Yep Peter is right I count 7 of your premos out in round 14 bye might need to address that

Well balanced side, though as Peter said may need to watch out for the Rd. 14 bye. Nice team to sit on for now until the JLT though, maybe look into other premium options without the Rd. 14 bye to monitor for the remainder of the pre-season + JLT.

Yeah looks good, really like that forward line. Rookie picks look decent as well.

best team yet.

Love the Papley pick.

Only concern is a lot of your rookies are basement price and you may need to fork some money to get the more expensive rookies come round 1.

I do have

Ed Richards, Goddard (2nd year player) - back

Zac Bailey, Higgins, Freeman and Davies-Uniacke (bench) (England-loophole) - mids

Stephenson - fwd

In any case the rookies will more than likely change and I have $64K in the kitty
