Am i too light in my forward line with buddy,fyfe,martin and sidebottom with rest rooks?

I don't think so. It would be pushing it though and you would want to be certain about your rooks. Personally I would prefer to balance it with another midpricer, even a cheap one like porps etc. but if you can't do it, and you think you have good scoring rooks with decent JS, then go for it.

Swan never fires pre-season, he just doesn't give a flying f, while goodes might be purposely holding back a bit- he is getting old, and there's no use risking it.

Franklin, Fyfe, Martin, Goodes, Lewis, Dangermouse, D.Smith - Kennedy T.Couch

in general, its solid enough.
Backs: I think you took too many risks with gilbert, grimes and conca. I really think 2 kind of midpricers/ undervalued premos should be the max. in any line.
Mids: I like it quite a lot. I'd prefer ablett to pendles- he's cheaper and will score more, rockliff I love the look of and think he'll breaj out more this year, sloane is looking the goods, and your rooks are solid
rucks: *maybe* mcevoy instead of mumford, but those 3 are the ones I would be looking for in rucks. I would prefer someone like jenkins to pattinson- he's more likely to get games.
fwds: franklin and martin are standard. I'm not a huge fan of fyfe, I doubt he'll have another big year, dangerfield could seriously break ut this year and is really tempting. Goodes I'd prefer as an upgrade target- despite his easy draw, he doesnt average much vs his early opponents. Lewis is a really interesting unique who could pay off- 90 is all but guarenteed, although I only rate him at an outside chance of 100.

all in all, I'm going with a 7.5 out of 10. You've taken too many risks in the backline, I don't think you've optimised your ruck cover, while you've missed out on ablett in the mids which is insane. And not a fan of goodes/ fyfe to start with :P

How did Dangerfield and Porps go to score 80's each?

Why are you telling people to pick Dangerfield? Let them figure it out themselves!

well I didn't see this game personally, but presumably they did pretty decent. They did deliver a flogging to a pies B side though.

why not? it's the purpose of this topic after all :P

Colliwobblers · March 10, 2012, 02:06:49 PM

LOL BB,

I think Zip is giving genuine good advice, the day you see Zip write GET ON ZAKA you know not to trust him anymore :)

are you feeling like your criticism of Zaka is even more justified after last night Zip ?

Colliwobblers · March 10, 2012, 02:12:08 PM

1. Thoughts on Porps at $200k ish...
2. Thoughts on Thomo after last night?
3. Thoughts on sidebottom - for mine another serviceable solid outing for him, but is solid going to get premium?
4. Thoughts on Jacobs after last night - starting one of jacobs/mcevoy
5. Thoughts on my round 3 NAB cup changes (so far)
being

Thompson (out) Boyd (in) Thinking with sloane and danger lifting it wont be all up to thomo he wont score as much.

Zaharakis (out) Dangerfield (in) zaka looked like a muppett, danger looked like a gun.

Pfieffer (out) Porps (in) - this one is far from locked in thinking the rook still but have allocated money for porps.

Further reasoning for changes = crows draw isn't going to make it hard for them to perform and the new coach = BETTER....

I called it early, and I'm maintaining my call.

Zaharakis (out) Dangerfield (in)

1. porps should be considered. He's not really *that * much of a risk when it comes down to it at his price, and he's been looking very good.
2. I'm not actually taking much out of NAB cup for premiums- we know thompson can play, it's NAB cup, lets face it swanny hasn't been amazing either and he's still a beast.
3. He's been looking pretty good, definitely up there as a contender for my team.
4. What do you mean changes? like who's been dropped etc.? I would look into it a bit differently than others- for instance, some players who did very well last week aren't playing this week- if they're fringe players that makes me feel more confident abut it, it means they've been locked in for round 1, and they don't need to impress their clubs any more. If a rookie is getting their first game, that doesn't really tickle my pickle- lets face it, if they were in the mix for the team they would have debut already.

if you mean changes like score wise, there havent been that many tbh :P Ryder I find interesting , got about 100 points not counting his frees (due to the NAB ruck rule, not applicable in H/A). People judge me for it, but I've been saying for a while he could be a really sneaky ruck option.

Colliwobblers · March 10, 2012, 02:38:56 PM

Sorry I meant change to MY team (listed below).

Thompson (out) Boyd (in) Thinking with sloane and danger lifting it wont be all up to thomo he wont score as much.

Zaharakis (out) Dangerfield (in) zaka looked like a muppett, danger looked like a gun.

Pfieffer (out) Porps (in) - this one is far from locked in thinking the rook still but have allocated money for porps.

Still won't risk Ryder in my DT or SC rucks, but locked him in my sportbet squad with kruze (12 points a goal)

azza707 · March 10, 2012, 03:06:04 PM

hey zip what are your thoughts on this. I've had sidebottom in and out of my side, and is out atm cos i just can't see him improving. he played pretty much all midfield last year, and this year will be no different. nothing in the collingwood midfield has changed and thus I'm wondering where the extra points will come from, so that he will lift his average by around 10 ppg. so i pretty much see him plateauing this season, unless of course there is a LTI to one of their mids as in swan, thomas, ball, pendles etc
