[c4v3m4n]

Hey everyone, been doing some tweaking with my team and I'd love to hear your thoughts about it and even a quick rate out of 10.

Backs: Goddard, Enright, Hodge, Waite, Kennelly, Ladson, Sheppard
Emg: Maguire, Trengrove

Centre: Ablett, Hayes, Selwood, Vince, Burgoyne, Martin
Emg: Shuey, Bastinac

Rucks: Tippett, Hille
Emg: West, Lobbe

Forward: Goodes, Riewoldt, Franklin, Murphy, Ziebell, Wonaeamirri, Watts
Emg: Davis, Dennis-Lane

Well, whatcha think?  ;D

Gee i've had waite in and out, in and out - could be a coup but the risk is there given that he did his leg in rd. 9 ly, can't help but start tentatively! backs = 7.5

Mids are very powerful, but here comes another knee - why not tho, the guy naturally aves 105 so worth a risk like this line 9/10

Rucks Another Knee here wonky in this area hope he does a HMac 5.5/10

Forwards Murphy knee and Wonas hammies, Watts dubious at best like JZ mm probs 5.5 here too. Overall 6.5 out of ten

Thanks lozza.

I had Waite last year and I was gutted when he did his leg. I did have Henderson in originally, maybe he'd be better....??

As for the mids, I was so happy I got all of those players in.

Yeah, how can you got past a ruckman that did average 90's that is priced so low!

Yeah, I was skeptical with Murphy myself, might go back to Dangerfield in there. But what to do with Wona? Not alot of money left to upgrade him....

Thanks again for your comments and rating! Who's next?  :D

[c4v3m4n]

Its incredible how quickly my team changes....but I have taken out some of the members of "the bandaid brigade" and now the team looks like this (new ppl in bold):

Back: Goddard, Enright, Hodge, Kenelly, Henderson, Clarke, Sheppard
Emg: Trengrove, Maguire

Centre: Ablett, Hayes, Selwood, Vince, Ladson, Martin
Emg: Shuey, Bastinac

Rucks: Hille, Ottens (all right, some haven't gone) :D
Emg: Lobbe, Gawn

Forward: Goodes, Riewoldt, Pavlich, Franklin, Ziebell, Dangerfield, Watts
Emg: Dennis-Lane, Davis

Well, watchya think now??  ;D Better? Worse?

[Resch]

Better....

I assume it is X Clarke.  Still a "bandaid".

Ladson in mid is a concern.  So many potential cash cows there.

must admit don't like Clark much still a bandaid type wait to see if he does something or check the Brissie boards on big footy for updates ( i think Davis from Adelaide has been suggested to take over from the hapless Otten!).
Hendo - why not yep - although he is a tall and could have score limitations vs Ladson who even if he misses a couple would be better long term with scoring.

Rucks Ottens dear oh dear i had him from rd 1 - hope he holds together for u!

Can't knock those forwards at all MUCH better here!

[Justin Bieber]

Clarke ain't going to play until mid year. Not going to be rushed back. was going to get him myself until i heard this last month.

risky rucks there. both coming off injury riddled seasons. could pay off if they go a season uninjured.

mids and forwards really strong. watts a KKP and i dont think will score very well (maybe a 40 or 50 average).

[Bs Flyers]

A great looking overall team but a few cracks others have mentioned - Clark is not a goer, Maybe Ladson to the Backs and a cash cow like Trebgrove into the mids?  Also if you have any spare maybe upgrade to Kreuzer in Ruck (although prob don't have a spare 50k) Maybe back to Buddy instead of Pav in forwards to free up some cash?

[c4v3m4n]

Thanks guys.

I'll probably move Ladson to the backs then, but i'm not totally confident on having two rookies in the midfield (Martin and Trengrove).

I'd love to be able to find a forward line player around $250K, but there's really no-one...

[Resch]

2 rookies in midfield will be common.  A lot will have 3.

It is the most popular strategy this year

[Bs Flyers]

What about Henderson to the forwards and a 250k or below back? Greenwood, possibly even Schoenmakers though not really convinced on them just a thought when looking for a 250k forward.  Also Rance / Malceski at mid 270s.

[c4v3m4n]

Thanks for your help guys. Here's the new team:

Back: Goddard, Enright, Hodge, Kennelly, Henderson, Ladson, Sheppard
Emg: Trengrove, Maguire

Centre: Ablett, Hayes, Selwood, Vince, Martin, Morabito
Emg: Shuey, Bastinac

Rucks: Tippett, Hille
Emg: Lobbe, Currie

Forward: Goodes, Riewoldt, Pavlich, Franklin, Dangerfield, Ziebell, Watts
Emg: Dennis-Lane, Davis

How's the team now?  :o

[Scratchy]

Backs: 7/10
Ladson won't be right for round 1 just so you know but I guess Maguire should cover him and Rick is a good player, plenty of upside at his price.
Unconvinced on Kennelly, we'll see in the NAB cup I guess.
Not sure how Henderson will go...3rd season but KPPs take longer and he's at a new club (admittedly one with a great engine room to deliver ball to him).
Midfield: 9/10
Hayes is 30 now wouldn't be surprised to see him with niggles but what a fantastic player he has been in recent years so if you want him keep him.
As a Crows fan I would love to see improvements in Bernie Vince's efficiency etc to give his SC scores a lift. Ave'd 97.8 for his 100.4 in DT last year so will struggle to find more ball just needs to use it better.
Rucks: 6/10
It gives your other positions better value and hopefully Hille comes up but there are lingering concerns as with all knee reco's. Tippett could rank around 6th in Rucks this year if that's good enough for your lead ruck then fine, I personally want a top 3 ruck as lead.
Forward line: 9/10
Not keen on Watts yet.

Overall: 8.5/10
Nice score.

[c4v3m4n]

Anyway I can improve? Or should I just stop tweaking it?  ;D
