Mids look a little thin, even though they are the easiest to upgrade. With only Swan and GAJ as premium mids you will be a bit behind the ball score wise, but in saying that i started this year with Swan and GAJ as my only premium mids

think you should drop Harbrow and Kennedy for rookies and spend the cash in the mids for starters

I like this team a lot better. One change i would make is Embley out for a cheap M/F on the bench and start Viney

magpie · December 30, 2012, 11:03:36 PM

Thanks for the tip Tabs. Done as suggested with my 2nd post. Thanks for your advice / help

magpie · December 30, 2012, 11:05:47 PM

And of course Mr.Craig & Football factory

don't pick Z Smith.

magpie · December 31, 2012, 09:44:03 PM

Why is that Armagizmo - is he injured?

tbagrocks · December 31, 2012, 09:55:35 PM

Because Pie he is unlikely to make the 85+ average the top 5 or so Ruckmen will be in 2013, would be a nice POD to start but you would need to at some stage upgrade him to Maric, McEvoy, Cox etc

No doubt he should have a better year than 2012, but he's to inexperienced to top a 90 average you will need. To keep him all year you would be bleeding points to the Maric/Goldstein owners

magpie · January 01, 2013, 11:58:42 PM

good call. I will start with him and upgrade later but at least I'll be getting major game time out of him early in the season

Embley instead of Mundy, and that team is set. Looking good, only other disagreement I could make is with Zac Smith, but the rucks look like a bit of a lottery this year and having Cox in the forwards to be able to cover if things go poorly is my strategy also.
