TBH your team isnt quite perfect but cant do much about it with 3 trades...by all means it isnt bad, field full of keepers which is good...what im trying to say is, if your in some tough leagues, your team atm wont win, not sure about your leagues so cant comment...

Backs: weakest line...heppel/lake/eski arent premiums, especially eski, as he isnt even in the side! IMO another upgrade is needed here

Mids: great :) bench is poor though with Gibbo & Sexy

Rucks: redden > campbell...but anyway, great rucks...gotta love the WC duo :)

Fwds: 2 non-premiums in Dusty & Zorks...good enough though...bench is weak and you'll cop some donuts late in the year no doubt



Sorry if i sound harsh

[Luigi197]

No problem at all Jay! tbh that's exactly what i was thinking!
With my leagues, if you look at Reply #126, 2 of them will be easy to roll through; and the other two are really difficult. I never expected to win those other 2 leagues, but want to at least make finals.

My benches suffered because of poor rookie trading, but not much i can do now. I can say though it got me a quite strong team early in the season.
The only other defenders that I think would suit are Scotland and Shaw, but didn't trade them in and instead got Heppel and Johnson in order to work with the byes as well. Has Malceski and Lake from the start anyway.
Yes Martin dissapointed, but had him from the start, and IMO, the only other options i like are Nick Riewoldt, Tippet and S Johnson, but i am content enough to have Martin as my F6. Zorko is a star, but i do agree however that it isn't ideal to have him start, especially if i am close to finishing my team.

Look, with 3 trades left, not much else i can do, but in hinsight, 1 downgrade, and 1 fwd and 1 back upgrade i guess would be last trades if no injury hits, am i right?

Thanks :)
PS: captain this week?

[Luigi197]

Scored 2436.
Guess I still wait.

Can't believe Malceski came back from dead.

I have the exact same rucks.  Dean Cox and Naitanui what a killer combo.  And you were worried they would steal points off each other :)

[Luigi197]

I don't think i'm making trades am i?

[charliesheen]

Probably not.  See who is named.

Have brought in Yarran & Carrazzo for Buddy & Goddard this week (good or not good?), next week will look at getting rid of Crozier + either Masten or Giles for maybe Pav + one other (maybe Derickx or Campbell in the ruck or J. Lewis in midfield) and hope I avoid any injuries / suspensions - any other thoughts?

[charliesheen]

Looks fine to me.  If your up against tough opposition, gamble on your captains like going Pendlebury or Selwood this week.

I think i am going to refuse frustration and put Ablett captain for the rest of the year, then not follow his matches

[Ringo]

Something to consider Luigi Selwoods last 4 SC scores v Pies 140,145,121,153.  Maybe worth the risk putting the C on him this week.

[Luigi197]

Looking Good. Averaging 2100 and will not ever think to take the captaincy of Ablett, no mater what!
DEF: B. Deledio, M. Johnson, B Goddard, B. Lake, D. Heppell, N. Malceski, L Spurr (G Broughton, S Darley)
MID: S. Thompson, G. Ablett jnr, J. Selwood, M. Boyd, S. Pendlebury, D. Swan (A. Sexton, S. Gibson)
RUC: D. Cox, N. Naitanui (J. Redden, J. Jenkins)
FWD: S. Sidebottom, P. Dangerfield, P. Chapman, M. Pavlich, Martin, D. Zorko, Smedts, (Franklin, Hall)
3 Trades left
32,400 in the bank.

Murdoch, Mcinnes, Yeo, Spencer, Gumbleton*, Bagauley* and Couch* among those names on the bubble, but definitely not suggesting trading, unless i am not seeing something.
*only played one game.

Broughton, Hall and Smedts are among those with higher than possibly achievable breakevens atm.

Sexton is out for the season though...

OK so after this whole season, I am down to my last trade and have decided to use to trade out Joel Selwood. I am in the Preliminary Finals in 2 leagues. My options for him are Redden, Swallow, Goodes, Judd and Walker. I have posted my current team here, and the link to a really easy poll I set up just below it.

Don't.

Broughton should go.

Who could you get back there?
