Not sure if it'll fit in salary cap, but looks great!

James Frawley is a gun defender, but I doubt he'll be a good SC scorer. Too expensive me thinks.

Reckon Otten will burn people next year

[Barlow 21]

Just fits in! $10,488,000.

Thanks Ossie for the advice.
Would swapping Otten for a rookie and Frawley for B.Symes be a good option?

[Barlow 21]

How does my team look?

this is a good point ossie which i never thought of till now...since he was out all of 2010 wouln't that mean that in 2011 otten could suffer from 2nd year blues.....or was he on the list before 2009?

[Barlow 21]

No, DazBurg 2009 was Ottens first year

[benjy251090]

a suggestion i have is take cross out, he is well over priced and should come down a bit but very consistent - instead of cross put one of lids and gibbs in the mids and have the other in the backline so you can swap between them

another suggestion is instead of charman as your 4th ruck, get the cheapest MPP for FWD/RUCK you can so you can switch him with petrie for byes or injuries during the season

and daz, 2010 would have been his 3rd year, he only played 2 games in 2008 and 22 games in 2009 i think from memory

[Barlow 21]

Thanks Benjy! I`ll probably swap Cross for Gibbs or Hodge and leave Deledio in the backline. Is it worth putting in Otten then?

[benjy251090]

maybe, could be like a waters type at roughly 200K, but then could be a big risk, for me, he will be almost a lock, but i might be a bit bias in that i went to school with him and he was in the year above me :P

[DazBurg]

i went investigating and he was drafted in 2007 and benjy you were spot on 2 in 2008 and 24 in 2009 so 2010 would of been his third year and even though he didn't play a game 2011 will be his 4th year in the system

[benjy251090]

what can i say, i am a smart cookie ;)

[Barlow 21]

+1 ;D

[DazBurg]

i'd be more iffy bout pettard then rioli.....rioli is almost a lock for me in 2011
i wanted him in 2010 from the start but his injuries forced me to wait till Roo got injured....but i had the feeling he was going to have a good year and he di....and seeing as the hawks are giving him more midfield time with another preseason under his belt it could be a big big year in 2011 for rioli

btw guys what do you think of rioli's chances of mpp since he was playing in the midfield alot

hmmm, not sure, would be nice, and cyril is pretty much a lock for me too, MPP will be a bonus

i am also looking pretty hard at petterd, had a very good start to the season and with melbourne on the up could be a good unique (depending on how many pick him up). he is also MPP which is handy

[Barlow 21]

Is it worth picking up Symes or Drummond? :)
