JackRoss' 2014 Team.

[Jackross10]

Thanks Ringo. I have a plan so I'll stick with it. What do you think?

This week.
Cyril - Cloke
Mitchell - Swallow.
Polec - Hartung

Rd10.
Langord - Bartel
JKH - Cameron
Robbo - Selwood

Rd11.
Lloyd - Parker
Higgins - NRoo.
Cutler - Dead Meat.

Team will be going into Rd 11.'

Swallow Birchall Simpson Bartel Jaensch Walker
Ablett Pendles Swan Beams Jelwood Watson Ward JPK
Minson Sandilands.
Danger Martin Gray Cloke Parker NRoo.

I think it has some good Pods. Well balanced?

[Ringo]

No probs stick with plan. 

I would just adjust slightly though if you have the cash I would do Mitchell to Bartell this week leaving Swallow to next week but up to you.  Reason Swallow has a high B/e and may drop in price for you. Just minor but end result the same but may save you some cash.

Update.

Rd9.

Had a pretty bad round. Was never going to be good seeing as I only had 17. I scored 1760 and dropped to 2384 overall. Made probably one of the stupidest decisions of my sc life by bringing in Cloke ahead of Boomer so it could allow me to get Swallow this week. Fair to say I got the wrong.

This week is shaping up very nicely and I am hoping to jump back into top 1k this week. I have 16 premiums playing along with Cloke and Higgins.

Trades I have mad this week are.

JKH - Cameron
Polec - Jelwood
Langford - Swallow.

Team going into Rd10 will be.

Swallow Birchall Jaensch Walker Simpson Bartel. (Georgiou, Cutler)
Ablett Pendlebury Selwood Beams Ward Swan Watson JPK. (C. Beams, Acres)
Minson, Sandilands. (Currie, King)
Dangerfield Martin Gray Cloke Higgins Lloyd. (Cameron, Impey)

11 trades, 26k.

Not sure who to play out of Lloyd and Cameron. Team should be done in the next two weeks. Should be able to do.
Cutler - Bews
Lloyd - Buddy
And then
Higgins - NRoo.

I won't have Parker in my final team which is depressing but I'll have to cope. Thinking my team is shaping up nicely.

Appreciate Thoughts :)

Strong side. Strong trades. Watch Bews could be 2014 version of Thurlow!

No TEX??

[Rusty00]

Good team and great effort to get a full team this early.

My only concern would be the JS of your defensive bench bit I guess you could strengthen that down the track.

Thanks mate. Not caring too much about coverage. Hope it doesn't hurt me but yeah can change later on.

[Ringo]

I woild look at Georgiou to Bews as I think Cutler will have better JS than Georgiou - May strengthen defensive bench a bit.

Also Saints have a hard draw coming up so I would go for Parker over Nroo.

Team going into this week.

Ablett Pendlebury Selwood Beams Ward Swan Watson JPK. (C. Beams, Acres)
Minson, Sandilands. (Currie, King)
Dangerfield Martin Gray Cloke Higgins Cameron. (Lloyd, Impey)

19 playing. Looking good I think :)

[Jackross10]

Rd 10.

Scored 1975. Overall up to 1017.
Pretty happy with that, hoping to move up the rankings from 2k or so.
Dangerfield C :( not great.

I have 26k in the bank. Not sure what to do?
I need to fix my forwards big time. Someone please help.

[Ringo]

Not a lot there JR - a few underperforming prems but trade them out and they will score with our luck.

I would consider though Lloyd to Shenton or Lennon if he is not names and then Higgins to a prem you can afford.

[Jackross10]

Thanks Ringo :)

I am thinking of 2 options.

A) Impey - Lennon and Geourgiou to Lennon and Bews. Then next week Cutler and Lloyd to Battersby and Buddy.

Simpson Birchall Swallow Bartel Walker Jaensch (Bews and Battersby)
Ablett Pendles Swan Beams Watson JPK Selwood Ward (Beams and Acres)
Sandi Minson (Currie and King)
Danger Martin Gray Higgins Buddy Cloke (Cameron and Lennon)

Or

B) Cloke and Georgiou to Buddy and Bews. Next week Lloyd and Cutler to Battersby and NRoo.

Simpson Birchall Swallow Bartel Walker Jaensch (Bews and Battersby)
Ablett Pendles Swan Beams Watson JPK Selwood Ward (Beams and Acres)
Sandi Minson (Currie and King)
Danger Martin Gray Higgins Buddy NRoo (Cameron and Impey)

Which would be better? Both 7 trades.

[Ringo]

Like Option B mainly because Cloke will continue to bleed cash and he has a large B/e. Even though Pies draw is softer for next couple of rounds still do not think Cloke will get back up. He may do a Riewoldt on us though and that is the risk you take.
Defence bench is a little weak and you will be in strife if Bews is dropped.  Is it possible to get the same side by Holding Cutler and downgrading Acres or Impey),

[Jackross10]

Have decided on going

Impey - Lennon
Georgiou - Bews.

After downgrading Cutler next week I can trade Lloyd to a Buddy/Zorko/Wingard etc. team will be done basically. Just need Cloke to get firing.

[Jackross10]

Scored 2532 this week! Moved up to 453 overall. Going to Europe mid week for 6 weeks so I'll do my best to keep my team going well :) not sure on trades yet!
