Backs

Goddard, Gilbert, Enright, Broughton, Grimes, Otten, Heppell (Coad, Toy, Duigan)

Mids

mate this is a shower team
full of so many smokies brown injury interupted, dangerfield spud
what happens rnd1 with gold coast with a bye? harris and swallow
no need to have every bench player possiblly playing
u need to rethink this a bit

[Mozza3]

Team looks alright to me. Although I'd be a bit circumspect about Brown and Dangerfield.

[laney21]

yeah i have thought about my GC players and I might not end up having them all but if i do i can adjust my team for rnd 1 so that they are all playing
as for dangerfield i think that he will have a breakout year with more midfield time due to retirements
and i am going for a bit of a different team this year as the byes will ruin the season anyway

[canty]

Problem with Dangerfield though is that every year he is going to have a 'break out' year.
I was sucked in last year... and him and tippet screwed up my whole year and constantly pissed me off...
don't make the same mistake as me, dangerfield is DANGER.

free up some cash by not having all rookies playing in each section then upgrade one of ur defenders

[Mozza3]

I think the reality is that everyone is going to have to start with rookies in their best 22.

[laney21]

yeah i agree and i would rather start with solid rookies early on so i can upgrade them to premiums shortly

[tomahawk05]

i dont mean rookies in ur best 22 i mean on the bench
i mean having toy, duigan and coad isnt necessary
as well as having both ruckmen rookies as smith and dericx

you could easily free up another 30g

[Mozza3]

If you can find cheaper rookies for the bench than the above mentioned, that are certainties to play, than please let us know.

guys i think you are alll underestimating dangerfield and brown:

Dangerfield:
Has said that he is going to be playing more of an outside role this year, and is ready for a breakout season

Brown:
Struggled with injury last year, which drove his price down, pick him up now whole he's cheap

[tomahawk05]

puopolo is cheaper than coad and toy and has trained the'house down over preseason'

[laney21]

yeah ive had puopolo in there before and i might get him back but he wasnt that great in the nab cup last weekend

[Mozza3]

Brown is a champ, no doubt but he has been on a modified training regime over summer.
Pauopolo is a very good prospect, probably the only player I could think of as a cheaper bench option at this stage.

[laney21]

im still not sure whether to get brown and puopolo
ill have a look during the nab cup
at the moment ive got sylvia and coad but if i do change either or both i can get the extra cash back for an upgrade elsewhere
