You should consider moving Gibbs or Goddard to the Mid, so you can swap them between roles (def/mid).

hope u enjoyed finishing top 2000 last year bcoz with that side you'll b lucky to finish top 200,000

[Shaggers]

Wow. The crapest MID I've seen so far..

[Prospector_1]

This can work - stacked backs and rookie mids. How many $$$ over?

[beermee]

but the crap MIDs dont even mean that the backs and fwds are that good. have you kept alot of $$ in the bank?

my team:

DEF: B. Goddard, B. Gibbs, G. Broughton, J. Grimes, J. Adcock, A. Otten, B. Jacobs (D. Talia, J. Toy, P. Puopolo)
MID: D. Swan, M. Boyd, L. Hayes, J. Selwood, D. Swallow, D. Heppell (D. Harris, S. Atley, I. Smith)
RUC: M. Leuenberger, M. Jamar (M. Lobbe, Z. Smith)

Hey Beermee, how about making your on rate my team thread instead of high jacking someone elses

[valkorum]

I would change your 4th ruck to J Tippett if you can afford it - its not like your gonna use him anyway and may as well have the option to bring Petrie to the rucks if the big men go down.

Have a read of this thread - I used a similar strategy last season (midfield rookie strategy)

Gotta make sure you pick your rookie mids well - as your whole year will succeed/fail based on them.

[beermee]

settle down hippo, i merely posted my team to support my comments - i think my backs and fwds are of similar quality, yet my mids still have some guns.....

just read your strategy valkoram on the other thread.... are you adjusting your strategy given that you now how 3 bench players for back,mid,fwd..?

i was thinking that the extra bench player pots provide extra room for  the 'cash generating' rookies, so less need this year to stockpile them onfield....?

[valkorum]

I doubt I will be going with the same strategy this year.  Not enough decent rookie mids to have 8 of them.
