Hey guys please tell me what you think of my dt

DEF: Enright, carazzo, Hodge, Shaw, Kennelly, Ladson, Hunt (Maguire, Silvagni)

MID: Ablett, Swan, Dalsanto, Cooney, Mcveigh, Barlow (Jetta, Bestinac)

RUCK: Hille, Natanui (Warnock, Skipper)

FORW:Riewoldt, Johnson, Pavlich, Gian, Franklin, Dangerfield, Rockliffe (Dennis-lane, Gumbleton)

 To be honest, this is a very poor team structure. lets begin with the areas of most concern:

RUCKS: Hille as your 1st big man is a terrible idea; he will take weeks (likely the first half of the season) to get back anywhere near his best form. Natanui: yes he has been excitable and lively during the pre season but mainly without the presence of Cox and when he was jousting with poor opposition ruck stocks (essendon match etc). Honestly, he will not score consistently this year, the kid is an absolute massive talent but it will take a while for him to develop. Not yet but watch this space for sure.
-Ablett and Swan: choose one but not both, your better off having bartel/gibbs etc and spending the cash elsewhere which you need to do!
-Mcveigh, IMO should be hastily swapped to Dustin Martin. This money from your various mid downsizing should allow you to upgrade Nic Nat to a Sandilands/Tippet/Macintosh and boost your ruck department
-I personally prefer Ryan O'Keefe over Stevie J know that he's back in the midfield (better value) and would strongly consider Robbie Gray from port or Barry Hall instead of buddy (far more upside in those two than erratic lance).
-Rockcliff is good for your bench but should NOT be starting. He only dominated the pre season games since many of the lions mids weren't playing (black, power, rich etc). Last week when they returned he only managed 40 odd. Better off having Ballantine or even Mayne from freo as your 7th.
-Lastly, I wouldn't recommend carrazzo seeing as his role for the blues tends to be that of a forward shutdown player which isn't great for DT output but its up to you.

A fair bit to think about or you could just ignore my thoughts completely- either way, Good luck!

BACKS: Enright, Goodwin, Carazzo, Hodge, Kennelly/Malceski, Hunt, Waters
(Silvagni, Maguire)

MID: Swan, Ablett, Bartel, Watson, Martin, Barlow (Jetta, Bestinac)

RUCK: Hille, Seaby/Tipett (Warnock, Roughead)

FORW: Riewoldt, Steve Johnson, Goodes, Okeefe, Gian, Dangerfield, Rockliff (Gumbleton, Podsiadly)

Guys admit it, its a winnar lol, all seriousness please be harsh and tell me where i can improve, where there is / it means im unsure between those two :)

[TapItToMeNaitanui]

downgrade swan and/or ablett to get a premium ruck like sandi instead of two midpricers who may not even score highly

[obrient]

thanks for the advice
SO

     Ablett and seaby or
     Macintosh and <420k midfielder

[obrient]

ok this is what i have done

instead of ablett + Okeefe + seaby
Gone for  Vince/Mitchell/Stanton/Dalsanto/Boyd (LOL) + Brennan (bit unique) + Hmac

Btw i could always lower one of those midfielders and get sandilands or mitch clarke, but everyone has them so wanted to go hmac, specially since petrie is injured now

[yeahsup]

Nah dw its looking good.
not perfect but nothing is. I say go Boyd, i like him this year, hopefully steps up a bit and i would also go kennelly over malceski. Malceski is too risky to me.
You asked, so here is the help.
Good luck.

BACKS:  Enright, Goodwin, Carazzo, Kelly, Hodge, Waters, Hunt (Maguire, Nason)

MID: Swan, Bartel, Gibbs, Wells, Martin, Barlow (Jetta, Bestinac)

RUCK: Hille, Seaby (taking a punt)

FORW: Riewoldt, Steve Johnson, Goodes, Pavlich, Gian, Staker (punt), Hitchcock (Gumbleton, Rockliffe)

I know im starting an unproven rookie up forward, however my motive is simple.....at least one of those three should play each week, if gumbleton stays uninjured hell play 22, rockliffe will get a chance and possibly cement a spot, while hitchcock is backed in by his fellow team mates to be given every chance

Comments welcome

[obrient]

Hey guys, currently in a dilemma as to where in my team i should upgrade next..Here it is

BACKS: HODGE, GILBERT, CARAZZO, KELLY, ENRIGHT, WATERS, KENNELY (MAGUIRE, NASON)

MID: BARTEL, SWAN, GIBBS, HAYES, BARLOW, JETTS (MARTIN, SHUEY)

RUCKS: HILLE, OTTENS (WARNOCK, TRENGROVE)

FORWARD: CHAPMAN, HARVEY, PAVLICH, GOODES, GIAN, STEVE JOHNSON, ROCKLIFFE (GUMBLETON, PODISADLY)

Any help would be appreciated

[obrient]

i have 16 trades and 50,000

[Windigo]

Hmmm, id look at outing Stevie J $366,700 and a breakeven of 132.
So, 366,700 + the 50,000 in the bank = $ 416,700.
To spend on someone maybe mid priced or cheap.... Davis? then put gumbi or pods on the field. And with the left over cash buy the big cox for hille or ottens.

Just a suggestion.

Forwards look set with only 1 more upgrade needed rest of the year hopefully. Those first 6 should be in as keepers and not for cash cow purposes.

Rucks could be upgraded in the near future with a few premiums on the fall. 3 trades could get you 2 fallen premiums (2 upgrades on these guys and 1 downgrade on a cash cow).
