any comments? I understand you may think it's 'cookie-cutter' but I think I have managed to fit in about 17 premiums.
Thanks for your time

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but there isnt 17 premiums in there. I would say no more than 10/11 premiums and 6/7 "could be premiums"

Overall though not a bad looking side...

DT101 · February 01, 2012, 10:36:25 PM

I agree! I should have said 'potential premiums'.
Any other thoughts?

too many mid-pricers/ risks. Most of those guys are clsoe to premiums but cant see them been keepers by the end of the season. Try to get more keepers i reckon. Like guys that are established premiums already or guys who you think will step it up. Too many guys in this team on the way down..e.g sylvia, okeefe, hayes. Other than those 3 i like the team :)

I see what you're saying. I'm just not a huge fan of picking key forwards. What forwards would you pick? Instead of O'Keefe and Sylvia. I like Hayes too much at his price and if fit - I'm happy with taking that risk.
Cheers for the reply.

DT101 · February 01, 2012, 11:58:49 PM

would Fyfe/Sidebottom be a better combo then Sylvia/O'Keefe?

Chelskiman · February 02, 2012, 12:02:21 AM

There's only really two key forwards I'd pick; one is Buddy and the other is Cloak. I would say the Fyfe/Sidebottom combo does look better than Sylvia/O'Keefe. I do like O'Keefe, but Sylvia I would not trust at all.

The_Captain · February 02, 2012, 12:05:32 AM

yeh definately sidebottom. Him and maybe robinson or zaharakis. slyvia is just a giant let down and okeefe isnt what he used to be dream team wise. I think his average will fall this year.

Can u go Okeefe/Goodes and Sidey?

Use Fyfe as potential upgrade later

DT101 · February 02, 2012, 01:32:49 AM

I was thinking Goodes will be a good upgrade target - he tends to get stronger as the year goes on.

Thanks for the reply :D

I just recently put Goodes in my team, but I'm not sold.

DT101 · February 03, 2012, 10:01:14 PM

yeah - I wouldn't start with him. See how he holds up for the first half of the year and then upgrade him.

DT101 · February 04, 2012, 11:07:16 PM

Recently saw Sylvia having lunch on Chapel Street, he is looking VERY large.
I'm a Dees fan, but really I reckon we should be much stronger this year, and I'd think that would reflect in Sylvia's scores.
whether or not he can keep himself on the park is another matter..

Jordy Lewis is a nice point of difference, but at the same time, for over $400,000 you really want to get the right option. Others to consider as a direct swap for him might be Zaha, Robinson, LeCras, N Riewoldt
plenty of options there..
