I as a pies fan also don't see him in our best 22... He barely got any games even with our injuries this year.

hes not defensive enough and that rebounding half back role is covered by Langdon, dasher, Williams. Sinclair I'd even say is ahead of him. Williams and dasher can push onto a wing and work both ways also. Seedsman is too one dimensional. You saw how many injuries it took for him to get a game.

He barely got games because he missed the first 10 games with a hip injury and then played a string of games before injuring his adductor.

It still took him 4/5 games to get Into the team and when he finally did injuries had already hit us. There are numerous players ahead of him. If he does get into the 22, I wouldn't be surprised but I'm really not a fan, narrow vision, really not the sort of player we should be playing. Too 1 diminsional.

36.5k left

I've been switching Seeds with Yeo quite a bit, will depend on who goes better in NAB
Dropped Birchall cause of that minor injury, although if he gets up for round 1 and seems to be near 100%, may drop Hibberd for him
For some reason thought Freo had the R13 bye. Turns out they don't, so turned Barlow into Jelwood
Gone BJ to Dusty in the forward line, just a gut feeling atm. May change back

Do you think Belly is necessary if have 2 Prem rucks anyway? I know for that price range he is probably close to the best choice anyway. But still.

Otherwise team looks set Davos. Wait for the NAB and see how Rocky holds his scoring potential with the return of Redden and Rich and the arrival of Beamsy.

12/10 would bang again.

YoungGun · February 23, 2015, 04:36:11 PM

very solid team, gone for 4 big super premo mids which put you in good sted. Dont mind the seedsman pick, has potential to average 80+

only issue is TBC at F4 seems slightly weak with all the talent in the fwds, somehow finding 4 premos up fwds feels right to me.

9/10, who knows what a 10 is haha

Yeah I considered dropping Belly to someone like Karnezis or Salem, but then though forwards would be took weak, and didn't know where I'd use the cash anyway. Then I thought of going Hibberd to Yeo, and upgrading Belly, but apart from TMitch at 400k, couldn't get anyone in the BJ, Lids bracket, so decided against that. Who knows what'll happen there.

With Hanley injured and Zorko likely to not really play midfield much anyway, I don't think Rocky will drop a lot. Maybe 5ppg. And so will still be flowering expensive to bring in, and I just ceebs hahaha.

Yeah would be nice to get another premo at F4 like Goddard, but then have to weaken another line anyway haha. Belly should make some cash either way, and hopefully work as a decent stepping stone. Not too fussed about the ruck coverage tbh. If cheaper rookies pop up in the midfield and all that though, may scrape out some cash to upgrade him.

Great team mate. Thanks for ur toughts on mine btw. Same problem with TBC, think he is, despite being dons r1, not worth getting, will make money slowly and no chance of keeper. Perhaps Titch or Rookie. Great Ruck Defence and Mids. Vandenberg didn't play intra match, not sure if hell play round 1. We will see in NAB. Thoughts on Hurn, looking in to it.

Yeah I've actualy dropped Belly with the team I'm fiddling around with now, trying out kb's two premo fwds strat
Changes are basically:
Newnes-->Simpson
Rocky-->JPK
Krakouer-->Barlow (Lambert fwd)
Dusty-->Salem
Belly-->Karnezis
An extra 50k in the bank as well (80k all up)

And regarding Hurn, has gone 90+ unsubbed the last 3 years IIRC, and I'm backing his body to hold up this year.

Seedsman is injured atm, I would stay away until hes fully 100% injury free, not worth the risk man.

I have ibbo instead and our teams are almost identical at this stage

Any chance of him being ready for round 1? I've been thinking about Yeo or Ibbo as well. Hopefully some backline rookies pop up, would prefer to have 4 rookies tbh (bench included)

There is a chance he would be ready but it would be a small one, plus if hes already hurt again this year, it may just be best to avoid.

Yeo / Ibbo is 50/50 for me too, who knows who will be better. I'm just hoping whiteX starts round 1 and rohan is named on the hbf and I don't have to over-think this

Yeah if WhiteX, Goddard, Dick, Jones or something like that all start round 1, that'd be great :P

Like it a lot GL! Great stuff

GoLions · February 27, 2015, 03:04:23 AM

So, what do you ladies think of this? Forwards obviously weak as flower, but really like rest of the team haha. And I'm also a bit more confident in the forward rookies/rookie priced players, than any other position. Will probably go back to a 3 premo forward line eventually, but yeah, this really tickled my fancy (among other places).

Oh, and 2k remaining. Also, I don't really care about the byes at this point, as evident by my midfield selections :P
