Hey guys
Just whipped this team up, haven't done any research for next season, just based it on initial thoughts. No doubt during NAB cup/preseason will change drastically.
But please go to town on this and let me know no-gos or any advice would be sweet.

LOL crumpetjack!! Great team name  ;D

That's where it ends.

If you want to avoid swimming with the fishes I'd remove Bock, Corey, Vince, O'Keefe, Tippett to begin then Gorringe, Hunt, Liberatore and J Tippett.

How is it that you only had $12,400 left with that team?

Best advice, delete this squad and just hit the auto fill button and save yourself the time.

If you do hit the flush button on this team, remember - all drains lead to the ocean  ;)

What makes you think O'Keefe is no good/

Welcome to the forum, we are all here to help each other  ;D

Haha! Love it though! I did ask for it, its cool. As i said, haven't looked into this year too much so keen as for people's advice and heads up for 2011.
I did finish 848 in 2010 though so i'm not completely hopeless  ;D

I see your thoughts on ROK :)

Will be interesting to see how he goes.
I still think he's great value at the start though..

Bock/KTippett - yeah dont trust them, but surely wont be worse than the 2010... unless Bock just stays injured
Corey/Vince - can't lose talent overnight. elite from 09 (Corey earlier yrs too), i find it hard to pass up their value this year. Main thing i do like about Corey is that he will never get tagged, even with Ablett gone opposition have other Cats to worry about before Corey

Are you risk averse with injuries or just think these guys will be sh*thouse

Thanks for the tips mate

My thoughts on Bock...http://www.fanfooty.com.au/forum/index.php/topic,23775.msg285403.html#msg285403
Tippett, well I usually advise people not to let your decisions be personal, keep it about the game whether you like the player or not......but not with Tippett - the rollercoaster of last year burnt me, he's never coming back in.  >:(
Corey - only one man in this forum kept enough faith in him last year - Master Q  8) Held him through all those knee issues in the faint hope he'll come right but unfortunately sometimes nostalgia can be the narcotic for the masses  ;)
Vince - has had off season knee surgery and an update on him can be found in the team boards......http://www.fanfooty.com.au/forum/index.php/topic,19911.0.html
