not bad migz
how did u manage sandi and petrie! nice work even though u only play 1 on the field. what number pick did u have to start with???
my draft is tonight

MiGZ · May 29, 2009, 02:46:38 AM

Hey, thanks damoc.

I started with pick number 9. And i didnt realise until i checked the help section that u only required 1 ruckman. But hey, picking up 2 isnt such a bad thing because now there is someone else in my league without a decent ruckman.

I went in with the strategy to bolster the rucks first and then back and forwards at the same time. Finished off with the midfielders as there are so many who can score you 100's. And made sure i had 22 blokes that are actually playing and no dohnuts. Tell me how you go when youve finished ur draft damoc.

MiGZ · May 30, 2009, 02:31:39 AM

Very solid damoc. Good choice pickin Cox first...although lets hope the injury rumors arent so true. But i see youve got nicnat aswell for alittle insurance if that does happen. Nice forward line when roberto comes back from injury aswell.

Chief Runs With Beer · May 30, 2009, 03:08:59 AM

It's a 22-man squad, so here's my team in the typical format.

B: Brad Symes, Harry Taylor, Grant Birchall
HB: Paul Duffield, Nathan Bock, Tarkyn Lockyer
C: Brad Green, Brent Moloney, Domenic Cassisi
HF: Alwyn Davey, Matthew Pavlich, Richard Douglas
F: Angus Monfries, Nick Riewoldt, Cameron Mooney
Foll: Cameron Wood, Steven Salopek, Shane Tuck
Int: Josh Gibson, Hamish Hartlett, Troy Simmonds, John Anthony

Reserved my first four picks for KPPs only.

Undecided · May 30, 2009, 04:28:58 AM

Ok here is mine, I got pick 7 and literally 2 mins before the live draft began my internet cut out (not joking) and i ha to race over to a mates place and do it there haha kinda hectic at the start but i settled down

Here is my team

BACKS

Embley
Milburn
Doughty
Ellis
P.Burgoyne

Roughead
Mglynn

How do you guys think I went?

Chief Runs With Beer · May 30, 2009, 06:05:32 AM

Similar to mine - in that you've focused on KPPs (and forwards it seems) ahead of the midfield.

Actually, do you think the midfield is a little light? C. Cornes is the only (current) genuine Premium among those.

One change to my squad.

B: Brad Symes, Harry Taylor, Grant Birchall
HB: Paul Duffield, Nathan Bock, Tarkyn Lockyer
C: Brad Green, Brent Moloney, Domenic Cassisi
HF: Alwyn Davey, Matthew Pavlich, Richard Douglas
F: Angus Monfries, Nick Riewoldt, Cameron Mooney
Foll: Cameron Wood, Steven Salopek, Shane Tuck
Int: Ben Rutten, Hamish Hartlett, Troy Simmonds, John Anthony

In: Rutten
Out: Gibson

damoc · May 30, 2009, 11:38:26 AM

undecided..
how the hell did u get roo SJ Gian gody fraser chad kane and p.burger!!
nice work. u can switch chad to the backs by trading out a defender and trading out a mid and putting him in the backs. all the good mids r probably gone but... i think the backs/fwd stacking has to occur as there is plenty of mids avialble who can get 85-100 as long as u have a clear captains choice

Chief Runs With Beer · May 30, 2009, 01:08:02 PM

How? Well, I wasn't going to voice my opinion, but I reckon a few coaches didn't show up to the draft, or were just plain stupid recruiters.

Bets on the latter - they all plunged into the midfield for the first three/four rounds and Undecided was able to gather a top-class forwardline together in the meantime.

Undecided · May 31, 2009, 01:51:43 AM

Mate you are definantly right, the first 3 or 4 rounds many of the teams were jumpin into the premium midfielders and not worrying about any other positions, i was able to grab moloney as nearly my last pick who averages over 90!!

During when they were worried about grabbing the winderlichs, goodes etc.. I was able to take the oppurtunity to grab really dominante fowards and a couple of backs, leaving my midfield to last (apart from K Cornes) needed a strong captain.

ZEDDOG · June 01, 2009, 12:49:31 PM

so.. how did the teams stack up for the first head to head. Who won?

Chief Runs With Beer · June 02, 2009, 01:33:24 AM

Plenty of 1600-1700 scores. The team who focused solely on a heavy midfield scored 1400.

cristiano · June 03, 2009, 08:40:21 AM

Hello friends.I'm cristiano from spain.Nice to meet you all.Well,I started with pick number 7. And i didn't realise until i checked the help section that u only required 1 ruckman.
