Bones Bombers 2014

Bones Bombers · October 31, 2013, 08:07:49 PM

Here is team No1. (not really but the first one made public)
Don't expect it will be affordable but we can only hope.
Rookies will change but I think there is enough cash invested to cover the positions.
Also have my eye on a couple more cheapies in Waters and HMac but the team looks too weak with them in there ATM. Preseason will tell if they are fit.

So here it is, tell me what you think!

Looks very good. Only pick I'm not so sure about is Cox, think he'll average <100 next year. Apart from that, good side.

Looking great, looks alot like my current team ;)

Very nice side mate, yeah Cox is the only one I'd get rid of.mYou could either grab a forward or grab one of Goldy, Minson, HMac, Mumford, Leunberger or Kreuzer and move NicNat forward. That is if he keeps DPP.

Bones Bombers · November 01, 2013, 05:23:58 PM

Coxy has been super consistent for years, playing 22 games and scoring well.
The plan would be to bring in Sammy Mitchell if he gets back eligibility and move Walker forward. That's if I decide to leave Coxy out due to age only.

Great team mate, I would have Goddard there though.

Bones Bombers · November 01, 2013, 05:59:05 PM

Hmm not as a pure mid, don't think he will be available as a defender.

In the midfield? Strange POD

Godd most likely just keeping a spot for Sammy Mitchell. No ruck/fwd link.

Still may lose one of those premo backs for Sammy. Nic Nat ruck/fwd link if he keeps DPP.

Still keen to see how Waters, HMac and even Lachie Hanson look during preseason.

Any comments greatly appreciated.

Looking at the minor changes I made it essentially comes down to Mitchell(currently Goddard) vs Mumford vs Cox.
Surely Mitchell wins right?
Although if I choose Mumford I have enough cash to change Buddy (who misses games) to Cox (who has rarely missed games).
Hmm whadya reckon?

:)
As good as Cox is, and has been he turns 33 next year just before finals time (Aug 1st). Personally I think there's better value to be had. And after saying that can't find a better R/F in Fanplanner to replace him with. Best of luck which ever way you go. Cheers. ;)

I'm thinking cheap rucks may be the way to go if Nic keeps DPP. Not sure if I still need/want Big Coxy as well for double backup. Rucks score well in SC.
Would be great if these players returning from injury can perform from round 1. Will have to wait and see, but I love playing with the fanplanner!

Another option with Top6 Backs/Forwards in mind. Godd keeping space for Mitch. Dpp's pending and rookies not cemented of course.
Midfield upgrades would almost definitely be Ablett, Swan, Selwood.
Thinking I will back in Murphy and Sandi but that may change and players like Suckling may demand a spot.

Might have to leave it like this till SC opens.
