Rate My Side Guys

[yembop]

Hey guys, Ive put together this side and although i rarely share my team i decided i am interested to see what people think.

Larrys Boeiz
Remaining Cap: $79,600

DEF: H Scotland, B Goddard, B Deledio, G Broughton, B Waters, T Bugg, S Morris, (B Ellis, L Spurr)

MID: M Boyd, G Ablett, J Watson, J McCarthy, S Coniglio, J McDonald, (D Shiel, J Magner)

RUCK: D Cox, J Giles, (J Redden, O Stephenson)

FWD: L Franklin, T Cloke, M Pavlich, D Martin, P Dangerfield, J Riewoldt, D Smith, (J Cameron, S Kerridge)

Justifications for a few players:
- Broughton - Im backing GB to really flourish under ross lyons system that saw goddard, fisher, gilbert do so well in the past
- Waters - If he stays injury free will b great
- Watson - If he plays the whole season will b an top 10 premo scorer with a low starting price
- McCarthy - I really dont know how or why hes stayed in my side... mustve been drunk
- Danger - Possible bias on my part but i really like what ive seen so far and can really see him stepping it up
- J Riewoldt - I see richmond improving and jack getting a richo type statline. 12-15kicks, 8-10marks, 4goal kind of thing

Any feedback will be appreciated. I tend to really doubt myself. Cheers guys.

thats a lot of ifs yembop. if my granny had b--lls she would have been my grandpa. any side without pendles or swan just

does'nt seem right. can't really see ALL of your mid pricers firing

Backs: Strong, maybe too strong. I'd downgrade Waters to a rook. Risky with Spurr 8.5/10
Mids: Good unique in Watson, who should do well barring any injury. Boyd and GAJ good elites, but you need one more. Use the money from Waters to upgrade McCarthy to Pendles. I really don't like the idea of spending an extra 70k just for JS and maybe 5-10 more in average. If you downgrade him to Neale, you have an extra 80-90k to play around with. Otherwise good. 7.5/10
Rucks: I personally am not going 1/3 strategy (Mummy and Jacobs FTW!). But if I were, this would be the only one I would consider. Giles appears to be off to a good start. 8/10
Fwds: Again, heaps strong. Dfield is a good choice. However, I really don't see JRoo doing that well. He seems to play deep fwd, tries to take a specky, fails, whines like a tool, and still whines when he kicks four goals in a match. In your fwds you want more than just goalkickers... I'd also consider moving Cloke to Sidey, as Cloke is just an awesome, albeit expensive version of JRoo who can actually take a contested mark. Also swap Kerridge for someone like 5fa, Hall or Dickson, unless you are certain about how much game time he will get. But with the strength there, 9/10

Overall: Very strong, you've used the cheap ruck strategy to great effect. An above average team (BTW, an averave team on FF gets an 8 from me). 8.25/10

Unlike the others, I say keep Waters and McCarthy.

I agree with the JRoo sentiment though, there are more consistent options out there (plus three forward keepers with a Round 13 bye will cost you a donut). If you want to keep him then you should swap one of your three defender premiums with the Round 13 bye to someone like Shaw (or someone cheaper like Duffman or even Hargrave). If you go the cheaper option then you can use the extra money in the mids (if you like).

Spurr is still rookie listed, meaning that he will be a great downgrade target later in the season.

Fair enough, I merely suggested dropping Waters and McCarthy because something inside me cringes at a three premo midline...
