I like team 2 but if u dont have a MPP fwd/def to swap with Talia I'd swap him for someone who's more likely to play (Iles, Jacobs etc...)

Mids - Looks good but Blease I'm still not convinced on but he'll get opportunities for sure. You have a few FWD/Mids in the forward line so probably a good idea to get one or 2 in the middle as MPP will be much more important next year.

Rucks - good but I don't think Campbell will get games. Only really there for back up.

Fwds - Solid, would swap Tapscott to Darling though and put him on the field over Matera.

Harper is pretty good but wait till NAB cup and see how he fits in at North :)

8/10

Good to see your finally on here btw :P

[JarrydBlair]

Yep okay, thanks :)
I have decided to go with my 2nd team.

This is what it looks like now:

Goddard, Gibbs, Kelly, Deledio, J.Grimes, Mzungu, Coad
(Richardson, Toy, Talia)

Swan, Hayes, J.Selwood, L.Anthony, D.Swallow, Gaff
(Atley, A.Krakouer, Blease)

Sandilands, Petrie (R.Campbell, Z.Smith)

Chapman, Sylvia, D.Thomas, N.Riewoldt, Rioli, I.Smith, Matera
(Tapscott, Darling, Callinan)

I really rate Tapscott so I'm keeping him, but i traded Dixon for Darling.
I want to trade Tahlia for Jacobs but don't have to cash.
Do you think I should try and get someone like Green in my midfeidld for the MPP? Campbell will get games. Why else would have they drafted him?
Like the DT Talk boys said they wouldn't get him if he was going to play VFL.

[the dud]

geeez, this is a real ripper of a team if you ask me. well done. To be completely honest, its the best team ive seen so far (if that counts for anything).

Full on guns and rookie structure which looks likely to be the go this year. i give it a 9/10

[popedelio]

it is a good team

If you are going to make full use of your team you should have some MPP players in your midfield. So i would change Hayes and Gibbs, put Gibbs in the midfield and then select a new defender, any other defenders tickle your fancy? i would recommend Rawlings or Duffield, now if i'm correct this will give you an extra 70k'ish, with this you can swap Atley to Conca, who is prospected to be a FWD/MID. going with this will give you a more flexible team.

It will seem hard to trade out Lenny, i also had the same midfield, but i knew i needed the MPP in my mid so i'm recommending the same to you.

But this is only advice, the good thing about advice is you can either take it or leave it.

Hope this helps.

Also starting both Mzungu and Coad, i'm not sure how well they will score, the ony worrying factor about yor team.

Sorry for the double post.

[JarrydBlair]

Thanks 'the dud' hahaha :)

Popedelio, I'm not really sure I want to put Gibbs in the midfield because there is no other backs I really want..
I'm thinking maybe instead I could put Chappy in the middle and trade one of Hayes or Selwood. Then chose any other forward I want. Then I might have some cash to bring in Heppell for Atley if I don't maybe bring him in for Gaff.. Even though I really like the kid.

Thoughts?

[popedelio]

well that is fine its just the opposite of what I said, bring in a premium MID/FWD then a rookie DEF/MID, whatever works for you go with it, I only suggested MPP's in your mid for greater felxibility, making the new team having an advantage over your old team.

Good Luck

[JarrydBlair]

Okay I just updated my team.
I worked on my MPP.
I put Heppell in the midfield instead of Gaff and Callinan into the midfield instead of being up forward.
Anything else I need to do?

[popedelio]

yep thats good, though pity you'll be missing out on Gaff, but i reckon Gaff is going to score more then Swallow if both go through the season un-injured

[JarrydBlair]

Yeah a bit disappointed I'm missing out on Gaff.
I worked out if I trade Robbie Campbell for McDonald or some other 84k ruckmen I would have enough to trade Atley for Gaff and put Heppell on the bench.
But I'm worried that having a 156k player on the bench is to much.
Plus I'm really keen on having Robbie.

[popedelio]

well just wait and till NAB you will most likely change your rookies anyway
