EURO Trading

if your not interested in the offer zip its cool you dnt have to be.... but now i can see why ive taken my team from bottom 4 pretenders to top 4 competitors with my 15 list change's getting done and you've made no list changes with anyone..... :D

All of those picks for Aaron Hall? I just raised the stakes haha :P

[Ziplock]

mate, you're not a top 4 side. Top 8 if you're lucky this year, but after that your team is flowered... you have 3 good mids, and a passable ruckline, and that's it

Backs:  Dempster (29), Bock (30), Newman (31), Cornes (34), Johncck(30), Gibson (28), (Talia, Clarke, minimal JS, KPD, Ugle- can't break into giants side). You're going to cop at least 3, probably 4, could theoretically have all 6 of your first backs retire next year.
Mids: Great first 3, Stanton is a hack, but is reasonable as 4th.... then almost no cover, Foley, Wells, Moloney all over 28 next year, wells and foley with injury issues.
Rucks: Giles is good, but probs won't ever be a true premium, Jamar is average but ok cover, Hille wil lretire soon, Bailey can barely string 2 games together (literally), in one of the weakest ruck lines in the comp.
Forwards- Harvey (35), Brown (32), Ballantyne(isnt the type of player who'll go premium, but would be solid 4th/ 5th), Whitecross (Good).  Westhoff (PA keyforward- never going to go well), Petrie (31), Pfeiffer (can't even get a consistent spot at PA),  Mcgrath (30), Koschitzke(31), Mcqualter (delisted).

Basically, your team *might* make the 8 in 2013, but after that it's going to be rough- you're looking at about half your team pushing 30 and getting ready to retire, and really no room for improvement. Cotchin, Selwood, Redden are great, Stanton is solid, apart from that in your starting 15, the only guys who I'd really want long term in my team is Giles and Whitecross.

I would like to make list changes, and I'm relatively close to a couple of deals, but honestly I'm pretty happy with where it is atm- I would have been pushing for the 8 last season if I hadn't lost my top 3 picks to half a season of injury, and that was with the yougest side in the competition.

Wow... Wanna PM me your brutal assessment of the Bashers while you're at it Zip? :P

[picker_man]

Zip dnt worry about my team mate, your point of view on my team is obviously very welcome but you dont know what my plans are for next yr's trading or cant possibly know were i will come next yr, so dont wanna sound rude but got half through that post and went meh.... anyone can criticise a team but unless you have something to back it up with like 2012 premiers why would i get worried on another coaches thoughts....although i think your having a laugh if you dont think i'll be top 4 ::) might be a different comp but have a look at the cobras in worlds shower on everyline except mids and dt scoring is all about mids :)

also just cause your team is young means nothing...... i can trade next yr and get a young team...... or use the nat draft to get a younger team..... but i went for a quality midfield and besides murphy all 4 beat yours.........

I have sent him a PM too.  I could open a tear apart your oppositions team  thread.

[picker_man]

yeah prietty funny you want another coaches point of view on your team to point out your weaknesses to you..... i prolly would of actually asked for one but ive already got one and totally disagreed so bit of a waste of time ;D

And that's your right ;D

[picker_man]

plz correct me if im wrong, cause might no be best at this but gave it a crack ;D

Grimes - had a great yr, but injuries will always be a concern as your 1st back
Hanley - Neds to find consistancy and if so well be a solid defender
Trengrove - KPP back in a shower team, yet to get over 62ave in 3 seasons
Armstrong - Has never put in consistant games with any club
Backup defenders - Jacobs is the only quarter decent one - Frost, Toy, Bews, Laird lol

Murphy - Gun
Ziebell - Will breakout one yr....
Trengrove - dropped 13 in ave this yr, will loose way to many points him 3rd mid
Gaff - Gun just needs 2yrs or so to be consistant
Ward - Gun but has Knee issues at a young age isnt a good sign
Bastinac - North have alot of young promising players not all will become elite
Bckup mids - Hayes, Bewick, Stevens, Butcher would hardly call that backup worst in the comp.

Mcevoy - Solid Ruck
Backup Rucks - wouldnt want mcevoy to go down again and have stephensen and dowdell as backups to roughhead

Goodes - Old
J.Riewoldt - unless he kicks a bag not the best at DT
Christensen - Good luck if he stays a fwd
Hawkins - Same as Rielwoldt
Backup Fwds - vespremi, grant, gumbletin, delliolli, falou lol if you have to play one of them

So yeah dont see much potential there except a few good young mids, cause the rest are still young you have hope a few will become premium but the names and signs they've shown in DT scoring isnt good for you, half the backup players in def wasnt even sure who they were haha but good luck with that mate :)

[meow meow]

Anyone keen on Sharrod Wellingham?

107 in a finals game is a decent effort, should keep it up?

behind a few in that midfield.... Swan, Pendles, Beams, Sidebottom, Ball, then Wellingham  ;)

I doubt he'll be at Collingwood next year so he won't have to compete with those guys.

[Torpedo10]

Can someone asses my team? I think I HAD the best mid backup in  the comp with Melksham+McCarthy+ Rich but now.  :-\ McCarthy has a tragic death, Melky going alright but Rich has to move into Int which isn't too bad I guess.

[LaHug]

Anyone want to assess mine? Haha

[Scrads]

Zip, I want you to lay a big fat one on my team and see how you go :)

My mid depth is pretty good.
