G'Day Guys,

Backs - Iles (GC) is a mid in the prospectus? Better and cheaper options for watson, Talia, Duigan, Faulks.
Mid - Hodge would be an upgarde target imo (highly priced & will get tagged = a low score somewhere). prefer to see Goddard in backs. 4 startibg rookies in mid biiiig call? I would start 3 max. Not sure about Prestia. There are cheaper options, Krak, Callinan, Green... (probably Krak given you don't have Swan, still have mpp).
Ruck - fine. Hopefully coxy can get through the year "again". I would consider smith in preference to Cordy.
Fwd - Replace Brown with Sylvia & save some money. Brown up grade target imo.

It's structured differently to others, which I like the experimenting.

Backs could be a little risky. Grimes is known to get little injuries every now and again but his potential upside is certainly there. Throw in Adcock and Otten coming back from LTI's and it might be set for one hell of a year down back!!
Mids could work for the long term but might suffer first up. Hodge is a nice unique early as many won't get him without MPP status now. Goddard there for MPP I can understand (although I'd throw him down back and use Heppell in the middle personally). Rookies are good so can't argue there. Got strong bench which should play to cover the 4 on field.
Nice ruck combo, potentially the best that could be.
Stacked forwards look good.

Thanks for the feed back guys,
i was a little sceptical about Grimes and Hodge

i've made a few small changes, but I am sticking with the 4 rookies in the midfield..

What do you think now?

My answer is: no...
Still not sure about 4 rookies; you could try get Polec up to Foley...
Watch Cox's pre-season, otherwise get Ryder or Jolly...
Not sure if Goodes will keep up with everyone IMO. he may be getting old and tired and may look to retire soon anyway.
Otherwise your teams isnt too shabby. 8/10 from me

PS: Have you rated myne and BB's combined team yet.. it should own

Prefer Hodge to Chappy.

More likely to maintain his average and less injury prone.

Other than that, looks very good.

I don't mind all the rookies starting if you're playing for the league win.  They'll make you more cash than midpricers and I think that's definitely the strategy for 2011.

13 premiums, 14 if Tippett comes good is quite good.

I'm looking at Buddy and Goodes more as upgrade targets, but they're both proven performers and will score well regardless.

so i have change my team around a bit, i'm well aware it will change heaps more before season starts, but what do you think of some of the uniques i have and the structure overall

[pyronerd]

goodes is a very slow starter to the year, i would say have him as an upgrade target only, some good uniques in there, i would think of taking at least 1 of goddard and sawn though, and broughton and duffield will be hard to cover both in freos byes, wont matter if you are going for league only, but will hurt your overall ranking a lot if you cant cover them both, be sure to watch how the rookies you have go over the pre-season expecially closly, overall a fairly good looking team 8/10  :)

[nonnahs]

Yes i am playing only for my league win...

so don't mind having freo, swans, dees and brisbane players in it, and also trying to avoid any carlton or essendon players..

Swan, Pendles and possibly Ablett will be upgrade targets once they complete there byes..

And Goddard is just so expensive, considering i'm playing for league, i will wait until round 7, once the 3  3 team bye rounds have completed, hopefully some rookies are ready to downgrade and then upgrade to Goddard...

however i will probably get ripped apart on here for not having Goddard from the start, does anyone share my thoughts..

i think u will get away with not having goddard, but IMO it is worth spending extra on either swan or goddard compared to most others, expecially because they are just so dang consistent

[Barlow 21]

I`d upgrade Gilbert as he may not be very consistent this year. Him playing a forward role may mean his scores decrease.

Although he could get a bit of the ball with Roo and Kosi getting the attention ;). He is known to play a loose man down back, could play a similar role off half forward leading up. Prefers to kick and gets alot of marks so can score. I'd watch him in the NAB Cup to see where they play him up forward.

Good backs though would get a Gibbs of some sort over Duffield...
You got your theories over Connors and Hartlett?
Probably D Swallow over Shuey...
Watch how O'keefe starts, would be a great grab if he's consistent form the start

[TOM15]

Dont really like the mid-pricers, who might not have breakout years, if they do then you could consider trading so you dont lose money,

but 8/10 :)
