Personally do not like Macrae - Prior to last year only averaged 100 over the previous 4 years. No coincidence he shot up with Libba not playing last year so concerned he may fall back to those smaller averages. Upgrade for me.
Your team though I would downgrade Macrae to Oliver, Fyfe or similar and then upgrade Libba to a prem with the 210 plus extra. Think a little risky with both Libba and Crouch.
For cheap rookies would also be looking at Atkins and Scott both mids at 117k if named.

Thanks, I have toyed with the idea of downgrading Macrae and upgrading Crouch/Libba so I have 2 keepers over 1, like Oliver and M. Crouch etc.  Don't want the headache of Fyfe for another year I don't think.  And I don't think Dusty will push over 105.  So that 2nd premo to replace Libba/Crouch is perplexing me.

I'm getting headaches with the whole Macrae situation.
I've got all of Macrae, Cripps, Oliver and Neale. With B Crouch next in line.
I am also toying with the idea of downgrading Macrae and using the cash to upgrade Crouch.
Too many decisions   ::)

Ok, I think I'm set bar rookies being named round 1.  Macrae + B. Crouch have become Oliver and Coniglio giving me one more keeper and reducing my risk with B. Crouch.  Hopefully Macrae drops a little in price so I can pick him up later cos I still think he will be top of the pack.

DEF: Lloyd, Laird, Williams, Smith, Collins, Burgess (Duursma, Hore)
MID: Cripps, Oliver, Neale, Coniglio, Libba, Walsh, Butters, Constable (Hind, Hayes, Gibbons)
RUC: Grundy, Gawn (Sweet)
FOR: Danger, Heeney, Greene, Moore, Setterfield, Drew (Balta, Petrucelle)

Very strong backline. Pretty solid side all round though mate can’t really fault it.

[Ringo]

Missing a mid?

Missing a mid?

Fixed, butters, cheers!

[Ringo]

Think too strong in defence with both Laird and Lloyd.  Personally would only start 1.

Your team though and need to go with gut feel on structure and premiums.

Gut feel is that Laird and Lloyd will still be the top 2 defenders.  Feel I will lose significant points if I downgrade one of them.

[jvalles69]

Reckon I'm finally done.  Decided to bring Fyfe back in over Coniglio, higher ceiling and will just have to cop burning a trade on him. 30K left in the bank.

DEF: Lloyd, Laird, Williams, Smith, Collins, Clark (Burgess, Hore)
MID: Cripps, Oliver, Fyfe, Neale, Liberatore, Walsh, Butters, Constable (Scott, Hind, Gibbons)
RUC: Grundy, Gawn (Clarke)
FOR: Danger, Heeney, Greene, Moore, Setterfield, Drew (Petrcelle, Parker)

Will have to look at that, just have a feeling Neale will go to another level at the Lions.

Good team JV,  light in mids to pay for the depth in fwds, def and rucks so understand where you are going.

Thanks man, I feel it's balanced across all lines, the only other option is to downgrade Laird and upgrade Liberatore.  I feel Laird will be a keeper so I want him at some stage, but if I traded Laird to a cheaper guy that pans out to be a keeper and turn Libba into another keeper then that might even be better long term?  ???

[jvalles69]

Need some advice at the tail end of the season.  I have 8 trades and 550K in the bank.  First trade is Hore to Hurn, but then I'm stuck what to do as the wrong rookies in the wrong positions need to go...

DEF: Lloyd, Whitfield, Laird, Hurn, Smith, Williams (Durrsma, Logue)
MID: Fyfe, Macrae, Cripps, Neale, Oliver, Sloane, Clarke, Bewley (Baker, Scott, Hately)
RUC: Gawn, Grundy (Fullarton)
FOR: Dunkley, Dangerfield, Boak, Kelly, Gray, Heeney (Setterfield, Gardner)

On second look, my back line looks reasonably strong without Hurn at this stage, maybe I use that chunk of change to bring in another premo mid, all with low BE's though and Scott would take most of that change to upgrade...

[Bully]

Midfield is too weak, need to get another premo in there ASAP.
