yeah McBean wont make my final team

so any idea why Lewis is not in more teams?

Im sure I read something about him having wrist surgery?
Saw a video of him training last week and he was just doing drills with one hand. Shouldn't matter to much though as it isnt stopping him from participating in much, just looks a bit awkwrd. He can still run so as long as its right by round 1 he will be right to go

Def: Couple of uniques in there and still looks very safe and good. Havent seen any teams that I can recall with Russell in their side, I think he could be a great pickup

Mid: I think you need at least 1 of Ablett, Swan or pendles in their for a captain. The rest is good

Ruck: Nice starters. Not sure about Vardy on the bench. Bit to expensive for someone sitting on the bench for my liking.

Fwd: Dont think Gray is a very safe choice, he has already been ruled out of nab cup and possibly early rounds of the season so I would give him a miss. I think you need an extra prem in their.

8/10

Def: Seems a little lighter than most, probably due to your expensive midfield. Good spread of players though

Mid: Best of the best. Cant fault it except for the cost spent

Ruc: Standard choice. Looks good

Fwd: Only question mark here is on Bartel with his avg decreasing each year and spending less time in the midfield, maybe better as an upgrade target. Still a very nice fwd line though.

Very strong team 9/10

Thanks mate! Well I could go Gray to either Knights or Martin/Rocky depending on funds, probably then move Kennedy to Pendlebury, I'm sure Ablett has to come down from either injury or a change in role, never really trusted Swan as a SCer they don't seem to score him like they should, I never wanted Nic or Cox but to have them swapping as dpp's ;D Vardy is there as a 200k playing back up, I can't trust any of the rooks to be playing!

Yeah I think Rocky is a must have.
I know theres no point saying this to you but I would trade Danger to Pendles rather than Kennedy to Pendles ;)
Swan not scored as heavily in SC as DT but still a very big scorer.
Yeah fair enough with Vardy, Its way to early to know which rooks will get a game round 1. Particularly in the ruck. Vardy a safe choice for now

Not sure if too risky or not enough solidness in midfireld in this team of mine:

Def:Goddard,Birchall,Scotland,Gibbs,Bock,Pedersen (Plowman Vlastuin)
Mid: Murphy,Dalsanto,Fyfe,Luke Ball,Carrazzo,Embley, Morrabito, O'Meara (Menzel, Viney)
Ruck:Maric, McEvoy (Grundy, Daw)
Fwd: Bartel, HBennell,Rockliff, NRiewoldt, R Gray,Mayes (Jaksch, MShaw)

[JamSainter]

Thanks Quinney, loving your work :)

TEAM NAME: Difference

DEF: B. Goddard, B. Gibbs, P. Duffield, N. Bock, C. Pedersen, K. Jaksch (J. Pittard, D. Terlich)
MID: G. Ablett jnr, S. Pendlebury, J. Selwood, T. Cotchin, D. Mundy, L. Ball, O. Wines, N. Hrovat (J. O'Meara, J. Viney)

FWD: L. Franklin, N. Naitanui, P. Ryder, T. Rockliff, M. LeCras, B. Macaffer (T. Lee, B. Staker)
CASH LEFT: $2,700

Obviously this team probably wont be affordable but just trying to gauge a rough idea

Ruck:Maric, McEvoy (Grundy, Daw)
Fwd: Bartel, HBennell,Rockliff, NRiewoldt, R Gray,Mayes (Jaksch, MShaw)

Def: Solid but Expensive line. Question marks over Scotland with his age and possible club punishment still to come

Mid: Dont think this is strong enough. No obvious captain choice, Dal Santo a risk and Fyfe scores very well as a fwd but as Mid not sure if he is a big enough scorer. Carrazzo not a big enough scorer for a mid either. He is a tagger after all. Need a re adjustment here and to deffinetly get one of Cotchin, Ablett, Pendles, Swan, Kennedy or Watson in so you have a captain choice.

Ruc: Like your rucks. Good to see someone different from NicNat or Goldstein as the R1 however getting Leuenberger in for one of them saves you alot of money that you ould use to strengthen your mids.

Fwd: Think Bartel wil be better to use as an upgrade target as we really dont know what to expect from him just yet. Nroo is deffinetly past his best. wrong side of 30, bad knees in a team slipping down the ladder.

Needs a bit of work but its only very early on 5/10

Thanks mate, glad to help :)

Def: Nice spread. Like the choice of Duffman as a unique.

Mid: Very strong, maybe a tad expensive but very strong none the less.

Ruc: Great combo. Glad to see Maric get a look in another side. He will be a unique and give you a 110+ avg

Fwd: Great spread again. I like the pick of Ryder, I think he could be in for a big season.

This team will almost certainly be too expensive once the real prices are released but for what it is at the moment 9.5/10

CASH LEFT: $366,900

thoughts?

Def: Perhaps a prem short. Broughton can hopefully push up around the 90+ avg at GC

Mid: I dont think Goddard belongs in the midfield. Push him to the backline and Robinson to the forward line.

Ruc: Perfect combo

Fwd: Nice mix but as ive said for other teams I would prefer to use Jimmy as an upgrade target. Wouldnt expect Gray to play early on either. Not playing nab cup is a bad sign this early on

Few players moved around would make it alot better. As it is 7/10

[kilbluff1985]

what do you think of this one mate went a bit cheaper in the mids so i could get 5 starters plus downgraded to Varcoe

Realise the season is still a while away but appreciate your comments and have revised as follows:

DEF: H. Shaw, B. Gibbs, G. Broughton, N. Bock, L. Plowman, K. Jaksch (S. Docherty, S. Colquhoun)
MID: G. Ablett jnr, D. Swan, P. Dangerfield, T. Cotchin, B. Goddard, L. Ball, T. Varcoe, L. Whitfield (J. O'Meara, J. Viney)
RUC: N. Naitanui, M. Leuenberger (M. Daw, B. Grundy)
FWD: L. Franklin, P. Ryder, M. Robinson, M. LeCras, J. Stringer, J. Daniher (B. Staker, J. Hogan)
CASH LEFT: $323,400

I would prefer to keep Goddard just so flexibility in being able to rotate some of the back line if need be and have varcoe to rotate with fwd line.

Thoughts?
