I prefer your other team to be honest.
both teams are great.
But I would stick to your older team.
could you rate my team please.

[creeker]

Nailed it nas - smokin' team.

Just my personal opinion. I don't think I will start with ruck cover. As an experienced Bomber supporter, I just cant see TBC punching out big scores. (hope I'm wrong)
I would use your 87k and turn Bellchambers into M Walters. Can see Walters going at 15 - 20 points better per game and that adds up after awhile. If injury strikes in the ruck, just trade in another.
I will possibly be in the 5% of people who wont start with ruck cover but it's a punt I'm willing to take.
Can see everyone's reasons for having ruck cover (late withdrawals), but I just can't find the right F/R.

Just my opinion and I thought I'd throw it out there !
Well done, rippin team.

[Ringo]

Just a note Nas and I like the structure.  Although bye structure looks good on paper 6 of the 9 with byes in round 12 would be your keepers just something to keep in mind as you tweak further.

Still have reservations about Newness though.

Like the Read pick for DPP as I have posted in a few threads represents better value than Cox with late outs.

Ringo is spot on with your bye!
You can rectify that by only upgrading to rd11&13 players before bye then leave remaining spots to bring in the rd 12 guys you want Eg. Goddard, Bennell, Kennedy in your case.
Or just trade out Pendles/Fyfe for rocky. Or Hibberd for b.smith.

I think stick with that for a while until 100% on other changes! Nice stuff

[Jackross10]

Like it Nas. Nothing to really fault, although I don't like the Harry Taylor pick, maybe Walker? That's just my opinion and also don't like TBC. Good side tho mate

[GM]

Nice Nas.
I would prefer 1 more mid premo rather than 4 potential  keepers in defense.

[fasttrack13]

Only thing I'd change would be having Thompson over Taylor. As you have the cash probably upgrade one though.

Like to see the 2 premo rucks because I'd say you can afford it if downgrade Bellchambers...

Had a switch around & did some weaving, $87.5K  Taylor out, SD Thompson in, Luey Out, Goldy in, Belly out C Daniel in.

I love the team now im considering Thompson too but as I key defender I just cant pick him. would look at Rampe from Sydney believed to be a gun running half back. Maybe Boekhurst to Biggs would be a good move but it doesn't really matter at this stage.

What are your thoughts on Thompson.

Great team NAS,  though I would put in another mid over the 4 prem forwards.   Like you I am questioning need for Belly for ruck coverage.

[meow meow]

Why Bennell over someone like Dusty? One is one of the more durable players in the comp and the other is anything but.
