Honestly.  In my opinion your team is a perfect case of putting to many eggs in one basket.  I think you need to strengthen your bench.  Spend some money on your bench which will save you trades in the long run.  Trades are gold.

5/10

my bench is basically the same as every other?

[mike_williams22]

I think your bench is fine (apart from Watts)
Your bench is there to make you money, not waste all your money on it!
As long as your bench is playing, which most of yours will, you'll be ok!

Best of luck!

rating?

[bennyboy]

I don't believe Davis, Gumbleton, West or Bastinac will play much footy this year.  Only time will tell.

i traded watts for tarrant... i picked west because geelong traded out mumford

I don't know what bennyboy means by "too many eggs in one basket", that would only seem to apply if you stacked an area of the field. It seems you did the exact opposite and you have a very even spread over the field.

It looks nice, however I'm not sure how good it will be in practice. You need players who WILL score 98+ week in week out. Could you add up the averages from '09 and see what you're weekly total will be? Safe to assume your mids rookies will get 65.

[tferrier18]

Until I see the total avg score for your team I'll rate it 5.5-6/10.

Also instead of west you should probably get Ayce Cordy for bulldogs

Backline is very solid - although think there are better players than kelly and cornes at that price range (addcock, dougherty, johncock, etc)

Midds are solid - besides ball and ward (think there are better players at that price (rich, salopek and masten, wells)

rucks very good

forwards very good - although im iffy on gray and hawkins (but they are worth the risk, lots of upside)

One of the better teams iv'e seen.....7.5/10

Best of luck!

[fossburger]

umm yeh, fanplanner is saying 1981 points for round one... which i would say is not that bad...

ok, cordy it is

[fossburger]

thanx mike... umm, by the way, if you guys are wondering why i have hawkins... he is expected to take over the key forward role from mooney this year, which could mean some good scores... (with hawkin's marking ability and geelong's midfield)

[fossburger]

traded cornes out for johncock... (bumped my projection over the 2000 mark)
