Good or Bad?

[Boomz]

Can't sleep so decided to have another shot with the fanplanner... Was a very quick one so bare with me I'll have another look in the morning :) Please rate.

Back: Goddard, Gibbs, Deledio, Kelly, Drummond, Mzungu, Richardson (Iles, Hibberd, Toy)

Mid: A. Swallow, D. Swallow, Boyd, Swan, Heppell, Atley (Krakouer, Callinan, Green)

Ruck: Sandi, Jolly (Jenkins, Smith)

Fwd: N. Riewoldt, Didak, Sylvia, Pavlich, Knights, Petrie, Rioli (Matera, Smith, Darling)

That's a very, very solid team! Wouldn't be spreading that around too much :)

Premiership Players Alan Didak and Steele Sidebottom might bite you though, given they have two byes

[Luigi197]

7.5 / 10

Backs look good; hard to judge Drummond at this stage and watch it with GC rookies on bench, plus another GC on-field...
You scared me with you mids at the start, next time put them in order!!  ::) You might wanna try Hodge instead of A Swallow? And dont know much about Green.
Rucks look KK OK though dont know much about Jenkins...
Forwards the strongest line in your team IMO though i would steer away from both Didak and Sidebutt...

Good Job, Luigi

Back: Goddard, Gibbs, Deledio, Grimes, Drummond, Mzungu, Richardson (Iles, Hibberd, Toy)

Fwd: N. Riewoldt, Didak, Sylvia, Sidebottom, Knights, Petrie, Rioli (Matera, Smith, Darling)

Good.

backs: dont like jack grimes, i think he is injury prone and inconsistent, and there are proven scorers at that price who i think are better options. -0.5

mids: very good.

rucks: good.

fwds: sylvia and sidebottom will be a bit of flair, they may be inconsistent but will pull out the big scores.  but still a very good line. -0.5

overall a very nice team, 9/10.

Cheers luigi & ossie :)

I couldn't make up my mind on which of the 2 so I went both but thats likely to change ;)

lol soz luigi :P I'm a big fan of Swallow & I think he'll take it up yet another level next year. Green is a redhead mid who got drafted by Brissie and should play a lot. Jenkins is a rookie for essendon who may get some games but not fussed as it's a bonus if your 4th ruck actually plays imo.

JT, Cheers :) I half agree about grimes but I'm hoping he moves into the middle coz if he does he'll take it up a notch. Probably will change though.

[Junktimer]

yeah josh green will be a good pick up, as will a.swallow

[Boomz]

Thinking of doing these trades:

Grimes --> Kelly
Didak or Sidebottom --> Pavlich

thoughts? I can get just about any Fwd or Defender for them as I have a lot left over.

[Junktimer]

like it, i would trade side ass for pav.

both good trades

[nas]

sidebottom out pav in. imo

[Boomz]

Thanks have edited the original post with those trades.

gday boomz.
backs are great. mids are great, but callinan isnt a rookie id consider.
forwards great. 9.6 outta 10 very good team.

[Boomz]

Cheers Maca :) I only chose Callinan as he is the only cheap F/C that I think will get a fair amount of games...

[Maca24]

no worries. thought you would have a good team cas you give out good advice  :P
could you rate mine plz?  ;)

[Boomz]

haha thanks :P Yeah sure :)

This is a fu**ing good team.

Although as usual I'll run your team through the first 3 non-playing weeks and assume you're going for the overall win and that these rounds do count towards the overall score when the comp starts. (Think that's a safe bet seeming DT are doing this)

R4 - 4 prems out (Average could lose a lot of points)
R5 - 1 prem out (very good)
R6 - 4 prems out (Average could lose a lot of points)

Going to - 1 because over those 3 weeks you'll have 9 prems out.

So maybe there's a bit of tweaking to be done, but other than that...awesome team.
I really like Grimes, especially now that he's in the leadership team. I think I'll put him back in my team as a replacement for Waite - I just hope Grimesy can stay uninjured.
