Hey all!

Just wanting you all to look at my final team, pretty happy with how it all looks. Was thinking about upgrading for extra bench cover fwd mid wise for the SWANS/TIGERS but I think for now it is all good.!

Backs: Deledio, Fisher, Newman, Goddard, Shaw, Gibbs, Enright (Puopolo, Otten, Toy)

Mids: Pendlebury, Boyd, Ablett, Priddis, Swan, Montagna (Mzungu, Jacobs, Prestia)

Rucks: Cox, Jolly (J Tippett, McCauley)

Fwds: Pavlich, O'Keefe, Goodes, Franklin, Petrie, N Riewoldt, Chapman (Higgins, I Smith, Dixon)

Good chance to finish top 100?

Very solid team. Did you consider taking Sandilands > McEvoy over Jolly, or did you need the extra $$$?

Bennyy · July 05, 2011, 05:07:56 PM

Yeah I did consider that, but had a lot of saints, and use the extra $$ so I could get OKeefe or Sylvia or Fyfe and went with OKeefe which was good for me this week! Depending on form I can bench Higgins or Jolly, although with multi byes and byes both are playing. If Jolly keeps that up he will have been a steal but still was risky. Would love a top 100 finish!

Good team. Round 19 byes may hurt with trying to get into top 100 backs - Deledio/Newman and Fwds - Okeefe/Goodes. I know they can move positions but will still mean Otten, Jacobs, Mzungo and Higgins will have to play (without knowing if you will have any injuries or suspensions).

All up great team, no wonder you are so highly ranked. Kudos to you!

Cheers Macman! And I do agree, that is the only week that I really worry about! Depending on cash may burn a trade in the process to get a fallen premium on the bench to assist with that one!

Looking for a bit more advice. Now ranked 150 something even after having ablett as captain.

Only 5 trades left, but looking for a bit of cover come that multi bye in 2 weeks. Itd be great if the Lions didnt have the bye, as i could straight trade in maybe adcock for bench cover for rest of season, and to help out come finals time with gibbs and enright missing.

Fwds should have sufficient cover except for that multi bye round which could hurt my overall.
Any great thoughts on what I could do. Its nearly tempting to burn a double trade to bring in broughton whos pretty cheap as a def 8. Not sure of who i could target, or if i should just leave it!

I have 55k in the bank. Sides great but want to make the best of the multi bye and finals byes!

congrats on the ranking.

be patience benny, and have confidence in your team.

I think your team can definitely hold, and think you can use a reactive approach to trading based on each week from here on out.

if you have no injuries, you can always sideways trade towards the end to chase points when people have no trades left.

Depending on your cash situation as Charlie says sit with that team. If cash needed look at downgrade targets as they come up eg Talia and Callinan.
