Please rate my team with the Big Cox do you have the Big Cox?

Madmax75 · February 06, 2012, 11:55:58 AM

This is my 4th draft and decided to go with Cox as a point of diff as I think a lot will avoid him at his price and use him as an upgrade target. Also with Grimec now captain hopefully hes fit and Broughton training with the mids group means he will hopefully at least split time there. 105 k in the bank any help greatly appreciated.

B Goddard Deledio Broughton Grimes Clarke Ellis Whiley Allen Heath.
C Ablett Swan A Swallow Barlow Shiel Brown McDonald Mitchell
R Cox Sandi Giles Stevenson
F Franklin Fyfe Martin Didak J Brown Zorko Treloar Kerridge Rowe

Your team looks good. I have a few worries though.

1. I think Grimes is too injury prone so I would upgrade him. Maybe H Shaw?
2. I think Didak will stuggle for a place in the Seniors and there is very little chance of him averaging 90 + this season so I would downgrade him to a rookie.
3. I would look to Fyfe as an upgrade target following his interrupted pre-season.
4. I would look to Martin as an upgrade target due to the Tigers tough draw during the first half of the season.

8/10

Great feedback thanks for that. My thinking with Didak would be that he would be a keeper with a full pre season and with rightly or wrongly pies fans etc thinking a didak of 2010 could make the difference this year bucks surely has to play him. Didak to a rookie would mean starting 3 rookie forwards one too many i think. Grimes yep he's been a ? for me. Martin interesting point he is pricey but seems in almost every team. Fyfe well I had Cloke in and s Johnson instead. And H Shaw was in before. In essence Shaw/Cloke or Grimes/Fyfe?

ben_020285 · February 06, 2012, 12:43:04 PM

Shaw/Cloke for sure..

Madmax75 · February 06, 2012, 12:45:24 PM

Yep good call Cloke is a little underpriced I think most important player in a top 2 team. Who would you have instead of Martin then pav?

Kenny27 · February 06, 2012, 01:48:01 PM

I dont mind the Martin pick. If your looking at Pav swap fyfe for him. The big pav will average more this year being perm forward. 60-70 gl season

IMO opinion look to replace didak, he will have that green vest more often than you would like. Perfect impact player!

Madmax75 · February 06, 2012, 03:08:13 PM

I think Martin also will score quite well despite the tigers tough draw. Pav I like as a pick with his proven scoring if he is left forward most of the time. Freo have enough mids now if Mundy comes back fit to leave him there on the whole. Didak I agree is the perfect impact player but its obvious we need more depth in the midfield to compete with Geelong in this area so he has to be in our second tier of mids and I think the NAB cup will show Bucks strategy with a fully fit Didak is this. Until it looks like Micks green vest wasting of Dids then hes locked in my team.
So... with Fyfe out and Pav in would you guys take...
H Shaw/Goldstein or Suckling/Cox?
Thanks again

Madmax75 · February 06, 2012, 03:09:51 PM

That move would leave me with only 600 in the cap so that could bring up another debate on here.

When the coach comes out and states that Didak is one of top 3 pre seasons performers at the club and backs him to return too form - well its not hard to read between the lines.....

you can't return too form wearing the vest
& you can't return too form out of your best/in form position

Madmax75 · February 06, 2012, 06:36:36 PM

Exactly Hippo there's no doubt Micks handling contributed to Dids dud season. He's in. Suckling had a great season last year but started to have some sub standard games and maybe the Hawks will have more options back so H Shaw is better IMO but he's also more expensive because of that. Goldstein competition from Mcintosh for game time? Thoughts ? Cox worth the extra $ but not at the expense of suckling instead of Shaw.

Madmax75 · February 06, 2012, 06:49:41 PM

Thought I'd post the updated team thanks to your comments:

B Goddard Deledio Broughton H Shaw Clarke Ellis (whiley Allen Heath)
C Ablett Swan A Swallow Barlow Shiel Brown (McDonald Mitchell)
R Goldstein Sandi ( Giles Stevenson)
F Franklin Pavlich Martin Didak J Brown Zorko Treloar (Kerridge Rowe)

So Martin upgrade target or locked on starter ?
Didak season keeper or at least make money and upgrade
Pavlich worth the $ over a cheaper Cloke
