Can't see much wrong with it, good MPP through out but I would take Jolly over Ryder just because Ryder has the bye in the last round

[Maca24]

ok  :)

i had judd in my side but he will miss the prelim so i'd get selwood or chapman instead

I like it maca. didn't really like it before because you had two fwd rookies starting, and I prefer 1 fwd rookie starting (and even then I'm not confident).
Like thomas and rioli in your fwd line a lot.
I think teams should start with 13 premiums minimum (you've got this... as well as 6 super premiums which counts for much more!)

Something I do when making my teams is to count how many players I'll need to upgrade and in your case I counted 8-9 players that can be upgraded (of course there is potential for some of these players to be high scorers and won't need upgrading). So at worst you'll upgrade 9 players which will take 16-18 trades.

That comment depends on if you're going for the overall win (which everyone should be doing) and therefore want a team full of premiums by the end of the season. Just something you might want to take on board..

Cheers

thanks tfer i appreciate it. i agree forward rookies make me uncomfortable and i dont want to stack the forwards either, as theyre an inconsistent bunch  :). livethedream i dont mind that juddy misses the prelim. i want to have a mix of players from every team. i hate thinking to far ahead.  :D
but thanks for the info.

[LiveTheDream]

I agree with you there maca, a good mix of players is very important and if there is one person from carlton you want, its judd. Im still not 100% sold on selwood yet and am weighing up if judd is still worth having from the start

[benjy251090]

If you are going to get Judd, you may as well start with him as you don't want to upgrade to him just to trade him back out

[bomberboy0618]

i agree with benjy it would be a waste of 2 trades

[Maca24]

yea there is a lot of pressure on Jselwood. he will get the number 1 tag and may not have the support that he use to.
yep judd definitely isnt a lock in my team though.

[Maca24]

any more opinions guys?

[HTM]

solid team, however forwards are weak

[tferrier18]

Really? I don't think they're too bad...

He's got 4 premiums and 1 fallen premium...I think they're pretty solid

[HTM]

thomas over priced, chris knights injury prone

[Maca24]

there not that weak. 4 premiums and 3 mid pricers. ive seen worse.
