Searching for smokey's

[creeker]

Thought I'd throw this team out there.

S Mitchell (M), P Hanley (M), K Simpson, P Seedsman, M Suckling, J Laidler,  K Kolodjashnij, M Fuller.

G Ablett, T Liberatore, H Bennell, M Murphy, D Beams, J Martin, D Tyson, X Ellis, L McDonald (D), L Taylor (F).

M Lobbe, A Sandilands, D Currie, F Thurlow (F).

P Dangerfield (M), D Martin (M), M Pavlich, M Clark, J Hogan, G Rohan, S Kersten, D Garlett (M).

13k in the kitty, 11-9-10 bye structure.

Seedsman, Bennell and Lobbe, (while risky) are locks for me. All 3 set for breakout seasons.
A little thin in the forward line but there is value there.
Thoughts, good or bad welcomed.

Couple of comments

Risky with Ablett, Bennell and Martin all taking points off each other in the mid.  Swallow and Prestia will also be there as well so I would prefer another prem at M3.

I agree with both Lobbe and Seedsman though.  Seedsman will step into Heath Shaws role at Pies and Lobbe will be main ruck at Port.

Think Hogan is very expensive for the forward line and it may be beneficial looking at Bock or Karnezis if named round 1 instead. If so then upgrade Bennell to a prem.

Always value your opinion Ringo !

I'm pretty keen on Bennell, have monitored him closely since his rnd 19, 2012 game when he racked up 197 SC points.
Has breakout season written all over him and wont get a tag while Gaz is there. (willing to take the punt)

I'm also not that overly keen on Hogan as he is very expensive. Point noted and taken on board

Oh, BTW @Ringo. Being a Brisbane supporter, whats your opinion on Mitch Golby ?
Is he worth looking at ?

[benno123]

Think your mids need one more proven premium player like Pendles, Swan, Selwood, Watson etc.

Really love the Seedsman pick, am considering him myself, will slog into shaws role.

Lobbe seems to have gotten a bit of love recently and rightly so, should be in for a very big year.

Don't often comment on rookies, but personally just not a big fan of hogan at that price, but that's just me. Like the M/F and M/D flexibility your side has in the midfield. Just make sure when round 1 comes you don't miss out on good midfield rookies for someone average just because they are a DPP

Rest of the team is very solid, overall good side mate :)

Golby not for me as I do not want to fill my team with Brisbane players. Golby imo is not fantasy relevant does a lot of good things and then some not so good stuff. Golby is often used as a tagging role on small forwards and at times seems to be interested in stopping them than getting his own ball., Entering his 4th season and still yet to play all games in the season. Will be solid but can not see him averaging more than 80. Prefer others around that right especially Seedsman.

Cheers ! Thanks for that Ringo, crossed off the list now.

Def: Like the Pick of Seedsman i think he should score highly. Not Sure about Laidler though.
Mids: Probably one premium short here in Regards to Bennell he will have points taken away by players such as O'MEARA AND Prestia and Ablett when he is playing there.
Rucks: Lobbe has been picked by a few as i think he will go to that next level.
Fwds: I would downgrade hogan to Bock.

Overall To get that top midfielder you may need to downgrade some of your rookies e.g Tyson as i am not sure Libba & Bennell will do the Job but that is up to you. It is good to have uniques in your team but will they score well.

I give it a 7/10

[creeker]

Even though I'm Keen on Bennell, if I bring in Daisy, it frees up some cash to make a more balanced team.
Could bring in Bennell rnd 9 after his bye.

Mitchell, Hanley, Simpson, Seedsman, Suckling, Laidler. (K Kolodjashnij, Fuller)
Ablett, Pendlebury, Murphy, D Beams, Thomas, J Martin, C Beams, X Ellis. (McDonald (D), Taylor (F).)
Lobbe, Sandilands. (Currie, Thurlow.)
Dangerfield, Franklin, Zorko, Pavlich, Bock, Rohan. (Kersten, Garlett.)

Have a crack at this team guys !
Still bye friendly and 1.7k left over.
