Fasttrack13 2015 - PreSeason

[Money Shot]

Your problem with that team is you will likely need to upgrade most of Zieball, Adams, Newnes and Ibbo,,

He's spot on.
Would go Ibbotson to a Waters
Newnrs to your next favourite premium.
Then Adams to Belly for ruck cover.
Think Ziebell could do well this season and become a keeper.
Could you rate my team.

[fasttrack13]

Sorry waters is D5 I'll edit him in.
I think newnes is capable of 85-95 with Lenny gone. However he will probably change. ziebell will be a keeper no doubt! Adams has huge potential as well. Any suggestions for switching them though? if I were too...

[johnnytheboy1]

Team looks well balanced across each line i think the Pick of Dane Swan up forward will be popular would look at strengthening your defence but apart from that you have done well maybe get Hugh Goddard in Defence if not in the team then on the bench.
But this is a good start give it a 7/10

[WizzFizz]

newnes will go 90+ running of half back into the midfield

[fasttrack13]

cheers guys will certainly have a look!

Alright newish team

DEF: B.Smith, H.Shaw, M.Hurley, J.Newnes, B.Whitecross, A.Johnson (J.Hamling, B.McKenzie)
MID: T.Rockliff, N.Fyfe, J.Kennedy, M.Barlow, B.Crouch, N.VanBerlo, I.Heeney, B.Boekhorst(A.Vandenberg, N.Freeman, B.Walsh)
RUC: T.Goldstein, B.McEvoy (S.McLaren)
FWD: B.Deledio, L.Franklin, D.Swan, T.Adams, M.Clark, J.Hogan (J.Steele, K.Lambert)
SALARY: $8,800

Smith and Shaw are locks should be in most teams in my opinion, Hurley i reckon could be all aus but if i can find someone better with a different bye round ill change him. Newnes probably going to end up being 2015 swallow maybe not quite as good.

New arrivals to help rockliff, less possessions but more effective and he will hit scoreboard more aswell. Fyfe gun, Kennedy is kennedy CP king, barlow as a pod i think has the ability to go 115-122 as he was injury affected in 2014. Crouch scored only 3 times under 90 and  i reckon he can hit 105+ throughout and will be useful POD and M/8.

Goldstein LOCK. McEvoy averaged 98 without sub/injury games, and a full preseason behind him i think he can get back to 100+

I think the 3 i picked up forward will be the top 3 fwds if not definitely top 5. Adams is apart of Collingwoods midfield 5 (Swan, Pendlebury, Greenwood, Sidebottom, ADAMS) traditionally all those guys exceeded 90-95.
'11,'12,'13
Pendlebury: 129,124,126
Swan: 121,126,117
Beams: 100,123,102
Sidebottom: 83,106,103
Ball: 97,62(INJ), 90

That's my thoughts love to hear yours!

[Money Shot]

Love your reasoning behind your picks!
Not sure on Hurley though and you need ruck Cover!
So Adams to Belly and Hurley to a premium I think would go well I like Hibberd!
Great side though!
Hurley could be a good pod but Adams to Belly is a must IMO.
Would love to hear your thoughts on my team!

Not sure you need cover for set and forget rucks...? Undertstand it for mid-priced rucks... I'm sure 1 rookie ruck will look like lining up round one we can pick him.

If there is a rookie that is looking to get games round one then you are okay but I think you need cover all the time if possible it just means if McEvoy misses a few games through out the season you don't have to cop a donut.
That's just my opinion though.

[fasttrack13]

Yeah,  fair enough... Nankervis probably be the most likely at this stage, but someone will pop up.

Yeah I really hope he gets games.
Best of luck for 2015 mate.

Few queries...

Hurley or Walker?
Barlow or Ward?
B.Crouch or Greenwood?
McEvoy or Naitanui?

cheers!

[crowls]

Few queries...

Hurley or Walker?    Walker  more consistent
Barlow or Ward?  Ward -elite premium
B.Crouch or Greenwood? Greenwood - personal preference
McEvoy or Naitanui? 50/50 both injury risks,but which ruck isnt?

Can you rank mine FT13

cheers!
