cloke or buddy your thoughts
im leaning towards cloke but buddy looks great cant choose

Cloke. Buddy's too inconsistent, even though I love him for knocking the crows out of the finals last year The fact that he got 9, 8 and 7 goal hauls last year means that there were more games he did very little in.

 

[NT.Thunder]

i would in my opinion upgrade becoz he doesnt seem to score great in dt. however he could win the brownlow again !!. plus cross and stanton are set for massive seasons esp CROSS get him

OK, you've convinced me, i'll keep Goodes!!!

Bad trade

 

[treefingers]

dont do it mate lol. im in a few of those I know its bad SC or DT

 

[_RT_]

Good midfield...I'd have Deledio as a forward because there are more options in the centres.

You'd be alright having Palmer starting. I haven't got Houli myself but things can change.

Slight problem with moving Lids to the forwards is I would have trouble fitting him in.

Having Pavlich, N.Riewoldt, Nath Brown, Kosi, Jetta, Hawkins & Sellar with Henderson & Rioli as the emergencies does not leave me much room to move as there is not really a cheap $150-200k midfielder I could use except for Armitage who I think is more of a risk as a mid than Jetta, Hawkins Sellar Henderson & Rioli are as forwards.

 

[Beerfish]

Who are your rucks?

Could you move Kosi to the ruck and Deledio forward?

Its a pretty imposing forward line until you get to Tomahawk and Sellar..

I kinda think its a crime to pick Deledio in the centre when you can have him forward. Bit like picking Chad Cornes in the centre.. not as bad but you know what I mean.

kosi getting injured isn't a good sign. stear clear of him. wont play 15 games

 

[Beerfish]

Awww come on mate it was just a bit of *tightness* he'll be right by round one.

You're talking like he's got a history or something

His tightness usually leads to a couple of weeks on the sidelines.

 

[future jed]

is anyone starting hampson/leunburger? if so, why? im unsure whether to do it or not...

 

[Beerfish]

Not even sure I'll have Leuenberger (didn't he do a groin?) now. If I end up with Hampson, which is also questionable at this stage, I can definitely say he won't be starting.

 

[happy_eagle]

Qucik thoughts on my forward line, not sure if it is strong enough

Riewoldt
Brown
Lucas
Cloke
Tredrea
Dew
Hansen

After making some changes I get the following set up:

Backs: Chad Cornes Heath Shaw Andrew Mackie Chris Newman Grant Birchall Shannon Hurn Xavier Ellis Albert Proud Lachlan Hansen

Centres: Joel Corey Chris Judd Nick Stevens Ryan Griffen Bachar Houli Rhys Palmer Cale Morton Brad Ebert

Rucks: Dean Cox Justin Koschitzke Matthew Kreuzer John Meesen

Forwards: Matthew Pavlich Nick Riewoldt Nathan G Brown Brett Deledio Tom Hawkins Leroy Jetta James Sellar Lachlan Henderson Cyril Rioli

*NOTE: Team is subject to change so those in Big Footy League Div 2 looking at this team it is not my final lineup.

 

[Beerfish]

Tredrea and Dew are the only two potential problems I see there.

Sure, Tredders has looked ok in the nab but will it translate to a good season?

Dew, I had him until I saw a pic of him and he still looked like he needed to lose 10kg. Got rid of him immediately.

Other than that it looks plenty strong enough to me.. unless Hansen's hamstring tightness from yesterday is a worry for you.
