Is my team finished or can it be improved?

Blueboys · June 07, 2011, 02:28:57 PM

Hey Guys, I think my team is very much done but just wanted to know if it can be improved???

Backs: Deledio - Shaw H - Adcock - Goddard - Gibbs - Heppell - Broughton (Lower, Puopolo, Markovic)

Mids: Mundy - Swan - Boyd - Judd, Bartel - Selwood (Wallis, Jacobs, Smith)

Rucks: Cox - Smith Z (Sandi, Keefe)

Forwards: Pav - Franklin - Goodes - Dawes - N. Roo - J Roo - Knights (Matera, Mzungu, Richardson C)

Sitting in 4th spot in my league

I've been focussed on getting a few prems on the pine now.

I know that sounds weird but i have 4 premiums on the pine (Swan, Boak, Sandi, Franklin) and yet i still only really have 4 "flaky" players on the ground (Dids, Darling, Lower and Yarran)

I think it might be time to look at having "real" cover

other option of course is to hold fire and trade based on LTI

EDIT = clearly cannot add up

Your main objective is league im guessing?

in saying that, id trade only if you had to, to win a match, or a LTI.. the ONLY areas id improve and im sure will be in due course are -Heppel, Knights and possibly bartel..
heppel is a great player, but if u can later afford to bring in fisher etc, do it!
Knights wont get you much, a better option FOR ME would be Didak whilst his still cheap after his bye.. and this is probably your most significant downfall, him. so if you can do a big upgrade and bring in ROK or rioli etc, get on that.
and Bartel.. i know this sounds stupid, but point being that you have TWO geelong player in the mids, come finals, your 2nd week could be worse than your 1st! unless you downgrade someone like Z.Smith close to finals and upgrade wallis to someone like priddis.

Nice team tho and BEST OF LUCK!

Definitely upgrade Knights to someone; probably S. Johnson.

mdon11 · June 07, 2011, 04:17:04 PM

The only trades I can think of are Knights to S.Johnson (mentioned earlier) and Lower to a Enright (overall) or Newman (league). This leaves you with all premiums and Heppell sitting at D8 which will come in handy for relevant byes.

Also if you want to shore up your F8 spot you could look at Matera -> Didak which can help during the Geelong, Carlton and other forward byes. Although the Didak trade is optional but he is cheap enough for it to be in my opinion worth it.

Nice team :-\ how many trades left?

Hippo · June 07, 2011, 04:54:13 PM

Matera too howe/Callinan/rookie... who ever

Then knights too Chapman or Sylvia

Lower too Rookie

Then Heppel too Enright/Fisher

then i think you done!!!!

PICCOLLO · June 07, 2011, 05:20:51 PM

Knights and bench cover for fwds and mids. Didak fwd cover, chappy or fyfe for knights.

Hippo · June 07, 2011, 05:28:51 PM

Fyfe pops his shoulder out every week and if in SC finals Freo can't make the 8 he will be sent off for shoulder surgery for sure!

enzedder · June 07, 2011, 05:56:20 PM

Heppell to Enright...not much coin to be spent.

It's not a rating it's more to do with what players are needed hence the selection! :P

Blueboys · June 08, 2011, 02:08:23 PM

Thanks for the tips guys, Bartel and Heppell will be upgrades come finals. Knights seems to be the main upgrade then hey.

Thinking I could trade one to one for Dids after the pies next bye.

Hippo I am staying clean of chapman and Sylivia as they are injury prone. lol

Think I should be able to coast until finals from now then do some of the upgrades as mentioned come finals! :)
