Hmmm i have thought about your opinion on outing johnson, however i have lost 70k on him or so, so i cant really justify it to myself atm especially when he has the potential to rack up some nice scores....I wanna leave my bacline the way it is, and if Hargraves finds some form again, ill be able to do a straight swap for kenelly or waters or even nason maybe well see how it goes.
I think my biggest downfall is ottens, I was really encouraged by his start to the year averaging 80 or so but after his week off hes struggling to find some form again, i do believe that if I give another 2 to 3 weeks he will find form and i predict he will be very good
Next trade i was thinking about, and perhaps you could point me in the right direction was outing a mid rookie for a premium
Barlow stays, but possible martin for someonel ike montagna or ablett 3 or so weeks away....There a couple of potential caschcows i believe will start to play soon and cement a spot so im excited :)

I think my team is almost finished, but comments are welcome :)


BACKS:      Hodge                    Gilbert                 Carazzo
                  Kelly                       Enright               Kennely            Waters

                 (Nason, Hams)


MID:        Swan                 Bartel                Barlow
               Hayes                Gibbs                 Jetta

              (Martin, Shuey)

RUCK:     Hille                  Mcintosh

             (Warncok, Trengove)

My next plan of attack is to upgrade Jetta or Martin, have 100K in the bank 14 trades

Would probably do what you said and wait for Howlett.

Another idea is to upgrade waters or Pods if you want to get a full premium forward or backline. Just an idea for later in the year if you get bored with the current structure.

[Spooners]

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!

in hindsight this is almost entirely wrong...

Marvellous thing, hindsight!
