Backs: Goddard, Gibbs, broughton, atley, b. goodes, docherty (terlich, Colquhoun)

Midfield: Cotchin, jack, A. Swallow, fyfe, Boak, moloney, k. Mitchell, o'meara (Viney, crouch)

Rucks: Goldstein, luenberger (Vardy, currie)

Forwards: Franklin, walker, Hawkins, varcoe, byrnes, lee (McCaffer, kerridge)
Cash Left: $271,500

Before anyone says anything about not having any of the ultra premiums, I've purposely done that in a bid to try and get ahead with a different strategy.
I went for a few reliable underpriced premiums to keep the whole year, barring injury, as well as mid pricers and rookies in each section.
Strategy is to make use of the extra trades by having mid pricers that should score well from the get go and have them as an upgrade target to ultra premiums that will almost certainly come down in price in the first half of the season at some point. I'm hoping the scoring difference I will lose out on is not substantial so that I can stay competitive in my leagues early but hopefully have a solid team from the byes onward, hence having so much extra cash for the upgrades. Injuries will stuff me if that happens I know but you gotta risk it to get the biscuit!

Not completely sold on having both Hawkins and walker and also not completely sold on Kieryn jack.

Also I haven't even considered byes yet.

Thoughts appreciated!

Changed Hawkins to cox. Can't believe I forgot about cox completely

its not a bad team, the one big glaring problem is the lack of captain material in your mids, i think one of GAJ, Pendles, Swan is a must just for someone to put the big C on

well you sound pretty sure of your strategy so there's likely not a lot anyone can say. the problem i have with it is that most of the gun rookies are in the mids, so by stacking it with non-prems you're missing out on the bounty of cows. i'd like the team/strategy more if you had stacked backs and fwds of midpricers, couple of super-prem mids and rookies.

I'm thinking cox as captain for the first few weeks while nic nat is out and hopefully by then I will have a super premium in my lineup. I'm a suns supporter so I want GAJ in my side ASAP but at 720k, he is going to have to come out of the gates knocking down 150s from the get go, I'm hoping one of Boak or fyfe can step up early to bridge the price gap between them and GAJ at his hopeful early price drop.

That is a good point though fever

Underpriced premiums - Murphy, NDS, S Selwood surely worth a look.

And Buddy! ;)

Oh...and Sandi.

Lachyj · February 19, 2013, 05:29:46 PM

Buddy is in, sandi is definitely not in now that he's done a hammy

I do like Murphy. Was tossing up between him and jack but I think I want to see how he plays under malthouse and how he comes back from injury before I jump on.

tor01doc · February 19, 2013, 05:35:05 PM

Hammy!!??

Back to the drawing board.

At least I get some extra spending with Sandi over and out.

Vardy at R3 ?? Very expensive better options out there.
Only 3 mid rookies? Missing lots of cash later in the season. But if that's your plan, good luck with your choices.
Will save on a few trades if you start with some of the premium mids you intend to trade up to.

A lot of mid pricers there mate. Maybe use the 270k to upgrade boak or one of the mids to an ultra premo!
