Looking for some advice on my pretty poor team, please.

Thought i would add.

My Captain would be J. Corey.
And i have 49,000 salary left over.

Someone with a Supercoach calculator, i would appreciate my predicted total with that team.

Cheers

actually looks like a very solid all round team, nice job =)

some interesting picks with bruce and waite

can't really fault it, maybe lacking a bit in the ruck department, not 100% sure on bruce as your third mid, altho he is a great player so i could eat my words :P

drummond is an interesting pick, capable of massive scores, but he's yet to play a full year, could be a very nice pickup barring injury.

nice side mate, good luck with it =)

[millsy123]

what do you suggest for waite?

i went for bruce for consistency, and thought cos melbourne so bad they shouldnt worry bout tagging him to much and hoping he gets a free run. who else around that price mate?

if my 49,000 isnt spent elsewhere i will probably upgrade waite to goddard.

do you have suggestions for ruck. i believe hille averaged 88 last year and he will only get better this year?

[Alex7089]

If Bruce can be priced at 5??k playing for melbourne imagine if the dees could win like 5 games! Maybe in their dreams!
Bruce is good though.

[millsy123]

so you think scrap bruce?

[Watto]

Bruce will be a consistent player, like he's always been.

Trade Waite for Goddard/Fisher

[millsy123]

thanks watto.

whats your opinion on cousins? shouls i upgrade for foley only 10,000 more. who do you think will have the better year

[millsy123]

This is my team now... as i feel i have gained a bit more knowledge. PLease let me know any ideas. Its $200 to the winner of my league, i need all the help i can get

Backs- S. Fisher, M. Mattner, C. Cornes, J. Drummond, A. Raines, J. Grimes, S. Hill

Ruck- D. Hille, H. Mcintosh

Forward- B. Harvey, M. Pavlich, B. Deledio, J. Brown, H. Skipworth, S. Higgins, J Ziebell

[fyfebe]

with ruck i was just thinking that alot of people will have hille as their #2 ruck this year, so could be losing out a bit if mcintosh scores 40 and cox bags 150, then if ablett goes and scores 150 (capt obv), making 300, youll have a bit of catching up to do.

other than that as i said before, nice team =)

[mog_dog00]

yep i dont mind bruce at all and have weighed him up as an option.. but i don't think its an issue of him getting tagged - ive seen him run wit blokes like brad johnson or similar types off a back pocket for parts of a game.. but he does work off his man well.. i'd look outside bruce

[Disco]

Good start Millsy. Very similiar to my team in a lot of areas.
Bruce could be a bit of a gamble. He is a gun but he is a gun in a poor team. If melbourne has a bad day (and they probably willhave a handful) he is likely to have a bad day. Bailey for some reason also gets him to tag every now and then which will also bring his score down. In another team he would be another 40-50k more. I would take a chance on some other up and comer like gibbs.

[bjrouse]

not bad at all. nice even balance

[millsy123]

out- bruce, sewell.
in- gibbs, s. burgoyne.

what you fellas think of that?

Not far off me Round 1 team. Just got to move out one of my four richmond players.

Waht you fellas think now? I only new to game so dont be too harsh
