keepz kill krew Fanplanner squad in the Super Coach competition coached by Keeper27. Salary cap left: $4,700.

Bryce Gibbs, Paul Duffield, Hamish Hartlett, Jack Grimes, Greg Broughton, Sam Docherty
Sam Colquhoun, Dean Terlich

Josh P. Kennedy, Trent Cotchin, Marc Murphy, David Mundy, Luke Ball, Oliver Wines, Kane Mitchell, Brad Crouch
Jaeger O'Meara, Jack Viney

Todd Goldstein, Matthew Leuenberger
Max Gawn, Brodie Grundy

Patrick Ryder, Dayne Zorko, Steve Johnson, Dale Thomas, Colin Sylvia, Brent Staker
Brent Macaffer, Tom Lee


Byes: 4/2/2 - 4/2/4 - 1/2/1 - 2/3/3 = 11/9/10

Def, i like your player choices but think your spending to much cash here with so many good rookie defenders think you should start 2 here or even 3 give this line 9/10

Mids, like your player choices but it is a bit weak will struggle against stronger midfields give this line 8.5.10

Rucks, cant find any problems here at this stage 10/10

Forwards, i cant understand why you have Ryder here and no DPP link in the ruck this confuses me a lot otherwise i really like it give this line 9/10

so that's 36.5/40

my main issue is your structure i would drop a premo defender for a rookie and maybe get Varcoe for Sylvia then get another premo mid your team will look really nice

having Ryder up forward and no DPP ruck link is madness imo

also think one of GAJ or Pendles is a must

cheers, i dont think the mid is as weak as you say it is.
M1-M3 will score 120-125, and Mundy 110+ IMO.

this better??

[kilbluff1985]

yeah mate i really like the look of that team now

btw i said your mids were weak because a lot of teams mids will look similar to this

MID: G. Ablett jnr, S. Pendlebury, T. Cotchin, K. Jack, N. Fyfe, L. Ball, O. Wines, B. Crouch (J. O'Meara, J. Viney)

which would own yours most weeks considering most games are won and lost in the midfield it matters a lot

[Ace]

Ace's n 8's

Any feedback welcome thanks.

DEF: B. Goddard, B. Gibbs, J. Grimes, G. Broughton, C. Pedersen, B. Goodes (J. Pittard, D. Terlich)
MID: G. Ablett jnr, D. Swan, J. Kennedy, L. Montagna, M. Barlow, S. Mayes, B. Crouch, J. O'Meara (S. Colquhoun, J. Viney)
RUC: P. Ryder, M. Leuenberger (M. Daw, S. Rowe)
FWD: L. Franklin, D. Cox, T. Rockliff, T. Varcoe, B. Macaffer, B. Staker (J. Redpath, T. Membrey)
CASH LEFT: $89,500

Def, like your player choices but think your spending to much cash here with Pederson enough defender rookies to choose from so don't think you need him give this line 9/10

Mids, i think Montagna is a bit risky for your M4 spot think there are better options otherwise i like it and give it 9/10

Rucks, Ryder could be a good pick IF he plays every game lets hope he does give this line 9/10

Forwards, this line is suffering due to cash being spent elsewhere which i don't like give this line 7/10

so that's 34/40

main problem is your spending to much cash in defense and not  enough up forward considering there are plenty of defender rookies that look like they will play i prefer going cheap in defense and premo up forward where there are not to many rookies that look like they will play

Taken on board & modified for the better?

DEF: B. Goddard, B. Gibbs, J. Grimes, G. Broughton, B. Goodes, J. Pittard (S. Docherty, D. Terlich)
MID: G. Ablett jnr, D. Swan, A. Swallow, N. Dal Santo, M. Barlow, S. Mayes, B. Crouch, J. O'Meara (S. Colquhoun, J. Viney)
RUC: P. Ryder, M. Leuenberger (M. Daw, S. Rowe)
FWD: L. Franklin, D. Cox, J. Bartel, N. Riewoldt, B. Macaffer, B. Staker (J. Redpath, T. Membrey)
CASH LEFT: $44,500

structure wise i like it much better but i think there are better options then NDS try and get a up and coming mid for that spot like Redden, Shuey, Fyfe. Ebert, Greene, even Judd all these blokes have room to improve but i have no confidence NDS will

Riewoldt thing his best games are past him also i'd prefer a M/F type player here anyway like Thomas

i am a big believer in picking players i think will either hold there average or improve it and those blokes getting older i doubt they can i'm even uneasy about Bartel think there are better options them him to like Stevie J or Thomas for example

Bit more to n fro & feeling that I am pretty close now have gone with a 10/10/10 structure as of now.

DEF: B. Goddard, B. Gibbs, J. Grimes, G. Broughton, B. Goodes, J. Pittard (S. Docherty, D. Terlich)
MID: G. Ablett jnr, D. Swan, A. Swallow, L. Shuey, M. Barlow, S. Mayes, B. Crouch, J. O'Meara (S. Colquhoun, J. Viney)
RUC: P. Ryder, M. Leuenberger (M. Daw, S. Rowe)
FWD: L. Franklin, D. Cox, D. Thomas, S. Johnson, T. Lee, B. Staker (J. Redpath, T. Membrey)
CASH LEFT: $56,300

well done mate i really like that team i honestly could not fault the structure or player choices well besides some of the rookie forwards but at this stage doesn't matter

given that you only need 18 scoring players during the byes i don't think you need the 10/10/10 strategy

Ta mate & as you would know the NAB plays the part re rookies & injuries.

Hey all,

Working my way through pre NAB teams and would love a bit of feeedback.

BACKS
Goddard, B. Gibbs, B. Hartlett, H. Heppell, D. Broughton, G. Goodes, B.
Thurlow, J. Terlich, D

MIDS
Pendlebury, S. Cotchin, T. Murphy, M. Fyfe, N. Gaff, A. Ball, L. Viney, J O'Meara, J.
Richardson, C. Kerridge, S.

RUCKS
Leuenberger, M. Gorringe, D.
Currie, D. McBean, L.

FWDS
Cox, D. Rockliff, T. Thomas, D. Martin, D. Bock, N. Staker, B.
Speight, B. Lee, T.

Gorringe at R2 is the obvious one who will get a lot of people offside. That one is by far my most speculative pick at the moment. Just think now that he should be set to start the season off fit he is a chance to take over from Zmith as the Suns no.1 ruck and if he does I'd back him in for at the very least a 60+ average (as good as you'll get from any of the forward or back rookies from RD1). Also having Coxy in the forwards is pretty handy.

I'm reasonably happy with the bye structure ( 3/1/4 - 3/2/5 - 2/1/1 - 3/2/3 = 11/6/13 ) and have DPP flexibility all over the park which should be handy.

would do the usual rating but i don't really like it at all spending to much cash in defense for my liking, Luey + Gorringe is to much of a risk in the rucks, mids are good i guess, forward lines ok but think Knights/Varcoe better options then Bock

would give it about 6/10 right now

Not even worth the usual rating! lolz Not enough cutter used on my cookies perhaps?

I'll see if I can win you back a bit.....

Luey/Gorringe - People freak out as soon as they see a rookie in the rucks but I never saw why it's different from the other part of the field. Gorringe could have better JS than 90% of all rookies and he could score as well as most of them too. I started with Zac Smith's 78 average at R2 in 2011 and a quiet 93 average from Giles last year.

Bock VS Varcoe or Knights - simple stats win this one pretty easily for mine. Here's the three player's career SC averages not including last year or their first two years:

Bock - 86 (91 from 2008 - 2011)
Knights - 77
Varcoe - 74

On top of that Varcoe and Knights have a lot of competition to even be best 22 let alone anything like the midfield time hype that people get sucked into. Bock steps straight back in to be one of the Suns go to players whether he plays forward or back. That is the clincher too - His DPP to switch with Broughton if needed makes him a lock for me provided he gets up for RD1.

I've also upgraded Gaff to Shuey and am considering going Hartlett to Birchall as well.

So what you reckon? 6.5?

What makes you so sure Gorringe has this great JS? Just wondering is all?

[tbagrocks]

Nathan Bock isn't even running yet, could even struggle to be fit for round one and either way couldn't be fit enough to be at his best

and Bock will be 30 and March and not had a good pre season Varcoe is very fit right now and is ready to go same with Knights i think Varcoe is easily in the best 22 Knights not so easily has to show something first and i don't think Bock has 100% JS could get rested a bit

regarding Gorringe i just think him and Luey is to risky maybe like a Maric+Gorringe combo i might accept

even if you upgrade Hartlett to Birchall i still don't like it maybe even more with that as i think your spending to much cash with 5 premos in defense given how many good rookie defenders there are

Def, i like your player choices and i like this structure in defense think it gives you the chance to get in the best performing defenders i give it 10/10

Mids, wow i like this alot great players and structure cant really fault it at this stage very strong 10/10

Rucks, standard 10/10

Forwards, not much wrong withit but don't really like spending 1.8mil on 3 players here think you should downgrade one of Buddy, Cox or Nic Nat not sure if Nic Nat will be 100% for round 1 and Buddy has a really hard start to the season so i'd drop one of them but i give this line 8.5/10

so that's 38.5/40

well done mate one of the nicest teams i have seen i'd try and spread the cash more evenly and get someone like Varcoe/Knights as F5 then it would be really nice

[Fishtopher]

Nathan Bock isn't even running yet, could even struggle to be fit for round one and either way couldn't be fit enough to be at his best

Not what I've heard.

This was in the Hun last week and sounds pretty positive to me. Especially the line "The veteran is a month ahead of schedule in his rehab and even began running last month."

I guess like a lot of players NAB will give us a truer indication though.
