Thoughts?

Hurn can go frosty cold at times.

McVeigh and Mitchell seem likely to be two of the top scorers in defence - a la Goddard and Gibbs of days gone by. Prefer to see these 2 and maybe Swallow out to raise money to get McVeigh?

If Xman gets games he'll be great value - like this line.

Rucks - worry about these 2 together. Prefer to see a solo guy like Goldy, Minson, Mumford or even McEvoy. Also considering injury history.


Rockliff was really good to have last year. Can you fit him in anywhere?

Thanks mate.

I suppose those 2 rucks are both injury prone, but they could both so easily average 100+ or even 115+ in nicnat's case.
I think they are just too much value to leave out.

Rockliff was good last year, but that was as a forward. With other mids much more proven, i dont think he is worth getting.

Hurn is a bit of a risk, but is under priced (really averaged 94 but priced at 87) and i think he could be a good POD. I also feel Swallow can have a real breakout year.

My defense does look a bit weak though, who could i downgrade to fit in mcveigh?

[Ricochet]

BACKS Love the Hurn pick. He's about 8ish points under priced and is great value. Also need to consider Birchall imo.

MIDS Very nice. Strong all the way through from your premo's right through to your starting rookies. I would consider MMurphy though if you are looking for cash.

RUCKS Solid mate. This will be a pretty standard combo next year. NicNat will be 100% come round 1 and you only need 6-8 games out of Sandi. I would consider TNank and Lobb as rookies also

FWDS Strong to begin with but then weakens off playing two rookies at F5 and F6. I tend to only start one rookie in FWDS and DEF. Look at under priced guys like Karny, Higgins, Fasolo, Bock. But i would definitely try and bring in another solid player here.

Thanks for the feedback  :D

Thats exactly my reasoning on Hurn. I also considered Birch, but decided having both was too risky.

Also really annoyed not being able to fit in MMurph. But i just think 3 mid pricers (him, beams and daisy) is too many is the midfield, where u really want to get in as many super premos as possible.

Who knows with he ruck rookies. Doubt anyone will play, but just have to wait till round 1 teams.

My forward line is quite weak. I would like to fit in Fasolo but just dont have the cash.

Any thoughts on how to make up that cash?

[Ricochet]

Umm Cotchin to MMurphy would save you a heap and MMurphy is a super premo. His averages before this year were
2012 - 113
2011 - 118
2010 - 112
2009 - 113

So you save 70k for similar output

yeah that could be an option. will def consider that.

cause then i could upgrade 1 of my forward rookies to fasolo.

Def: Good unique picks in Hurn & Swallow both should have decent years 
Mids:Maybe Downgrade Cotchin to Marc Murphy otherwise the rest of the mids are ok
Rucks Are Good enough you could fit Mcveigh into your team by going Nic Nat to Grundy.
Fwds: Buddy has a Knack of missing a few games he is another player you could downgrade but to who is another issue.

Overall  Team Looks good with just minor changes needed 8/10

Thanks for the feedback.

I think downgrading Cotch to MMurph would certainly give me some extra options.

Im just very cautious in getting too many mid-pricers in midfield.

In previous years ive been stuck with too many not-quite premiums. (eg. priddis, mundy last year)

Will strongly consider it, but would like to stick with the extra super premo if i can.

[Footyrulz]

I have slightly changed my side.

I decided to get charlie dixon. He is a R/F and i think that could be extremely useful throughout the season by swapping him with ben brown.

It also means i now have a much stronger forward line.

New players are in bold with the players traded out in brackets.

13k in the bank.

Sam Mitchell, Kade Simpson, Shannon Hurn, David Swallow, Matt Suckling, Luke Thompson
Matt Fuller (Kurt Aylett, didnt realize fuller was mature age) , Tom Cutler

Scott Pendlebury, Joel Selwood, Nathan Fyfe, Dayne Beams, Dale Thomas, Claye Beams, Xavier Ellis, Luke Dunstan (Cotchin, so i can afford Dixon)
Lewis Taylor, Jonothon O'Rourke

Nic Naitanui, Aaron Sandilands
Toby Nankervis (Currie, didnt realize Nankervis was mature age) , Ben Brown

Patrick Dangerfield, Dustin Martin, Lance Franklin, Charlie Dixon (Dayle Garlett, now have MPP link), Mitchell Clark, Alex Fasolo (Liam Mcbean, can now afford fasolo to strengthen forwards)
Jay Kennedy-Harris, Mitch Honeychurch

Like the changes you've made. Thinking i'll likely go with dixon as well for the R/F swing, some seem to be going with a 200-300K bench player at R3 with the limited ruck rookies at this stage, but i think dixon is the way to go. rest of forwards fairly standard. Like the hurn pick in the backline, underpriced, in a supercoach friendly role, could score very well, and eagles have a fairly easy draw. Like the fyfe pick in the midfield as well, could take it to that next level i think. tossing up between him and cotchin myself. good side mate :)

thanks heaps mate.

thats exactly my thinking with dixon. could separate the best from the rest... or he could average 70  ;) fortune favours the brave!

cotchin vs fyfe is definitely a tough decision.

obviously ive gone with fyfe, i think he could easily average 120+. but so could cotchin really, just a question of whether he can fully cope with the tags.

Bloody hell mate, on first looks that team is absolutely brilliant.

You have 4-5 premiums in the backline, midfield looks pretty much spot on with Pendlebury, Selwood and Beams + good rookies, Rucks are standard so you've done well there, but your forward line aswell looking strong looks superb. You have 6 players that have all played senior footy and aren't relying on rookies to fill a spot, which is amazing. 4 of those are premiums also.

This structure looks very good, might have a go at achieving something like this. Really don't know how you afforded this but well done.

Thanks so much mate!

Hopefully i get some good scores!

I can afford it, used impromptu's team planner on his website.

I think the reason it looks so good is that ive picked quite a few slightly cheaper premiums which allows me to have a team with barely any rookies.

Ive also got 3 of my 5 fielded rookies in the midfield (c beams, martin and ellis) and all 3 are definitely good scorers.

Hopefully it give u some inspiration for your side  :D, without copying it  ;)

Mind giving me the link for it mate? Thanks a heap

Yeah true mate, plenty of value there in your team such as Hurn, Swallow, Suckling, Beams Thomas, Sandi etc.

That's true mate, midfielders like them are quite cheap which is very good.

Hahaha maybe mate, I'm pretty happy with my structure at the moment but you only have one rookie playing whereas I have two, so I want to try and fix that. I wouldn't copy it mate, there's some selections you've made which I wouldn't go near haha, I have my select players I want that aren't in this team so I wouldn't worry too much about that ;)
