Been playing around with it a bit tonight and liking the look at the moment with 100k still left to play around with. Rookies are still to be shuffled around a bit, hard to decide until round 1 teams come out.

Haha yeah both them and Port have some pretty good options this year. Wright could easily change to Robbo/Dusty before round 1.

Solid Team RB

Just need to develop a trading plan with bringing in prems as you have 11 prems with Round 13 byes so not a lot to manouvre to get 18 scoring players on field. You have another 2 Mcaffer and Crouch with the bye but am assuming they will be gone.

Can not fault your prems. Just watch your rookies for being named especially defence.

Cheers Ringo.

Yeah not too concerned about bye rounds at this stage as with the increased amount of trades I'm willing to be that my team would have changed a fair bit by Rd13 but will make sure to keep an eye on how many I have out each week as I bring in prems.

Yeah rookies are just a guideline almost, Docherty and Colquhoun don't exactly fill me with confidence but we'll wait and see. Pittards close but didnt really wanna replace Docherty with him for the sake of having too many port defenders (also had Hartlett at that stage)

I like the feel of this team. A little bit different but looks safe.

That bye thing. I know we have heaps of trades ::)

BUT are you really going to trade out premiums for one round?

You look like you have 9 keepers already from round 13.

Suggest you ease back a touch on them from the start to save trades later.

Nice though.

Def: Have 3 good premiums who are likely to average 100+
Mids:Very strong here
Rucks: Even though Sauce had a quiet night last night is still a good option
Fwds: Wright may be a bit of a concern as he was used as a tagger last night.may want to upgrade to Ryder.

Overall Strong team that has good balance 8/10

the only thing id point out is that carlton's rucks are fighting for a spot to play atm, and rowe is prob 4th/5th man, id put it towards someone such as m.Daw or somoene who is more of a chance for game time to increase a bit of that salary.

Yeah it's either him or McBean, either way don't think it'll matter that much don't even need them playing but would help.

Thanks yeah will take that on board with Wright, there's Robbo or Dusty a little cheaper than him or could spend that 100k to get a gun. Any suggestions? Ryders and interesting one haven't heard his name much this preseason!

Good looking team RB,

Can that $100K buy some Buddy love?

Save for the bye discussion above which I will have no part of (I was one who had a great plan that folded badly last year and am very dismissive of bye plans this year!), this would be the most balanced team I've seen to date. :D

Thanks mate

Not if I trade out Wright it couldn't :(

I originally had buddy but an anticipating a price drop early on but you never know with him I guess.

I'm sure if I made a few downgrades elsewhere I could squeeze him in but prefer the team structure without him.

Took your advice and now have Ryder as F2, liking the look of it with 20k in the bank.

Feel like I am missing out with Mundy but can't really squeeze him in anywhere!

roo boys! · March 16, 2013, 10:35:59 AM

Berger out along with some more shuffling around, discovered I needed Zorko!

5k left.

Hiso · March 16, 2013, 11:03:44 AM

like your team but no need to have mcbean in ruck if u have cox rucking, and u have a link in rowe in ur forward line, may want to consider that currie will play the first few rounds so u could move cox back to forward and get burger back on ur bench till he is right to play. just a thought burger > kennedy, just injury is a worry
