Complete Team

[TASSIE SAINT]

Next week my team is complete i'll be using my last 2 trades.

Yes i no u need to save trades for finals and injuries will occur but i get bored and have to fiddle.

I managed to win my league last year playing 2 short scoring 2400 so hopefully if i make it i can fluke it again.

I started the season coming 400th jumped out of the blokes nicely but now sit around 2000th and hoping to rise.

I'm averaging around 2080 atm and hoping to increase that.

Next week this will be my final 22 would love to hear ur thoughts.

Heath shaw
Sam Fisher
Lindsay Gilbee
Darren Milburn
Daniel Bradshaw
Andrew Mcleod
Garrick Ibbotson

Gary Ablett
Jimmy Bartel
Nick Dalsanto
Kane Cornes
Brent Harvey
Rhys Palmer

Dean Cox
Troy Simmonds

Matthew Pavlich
Lance Frankiln
Nick Riewoldt
Paul Chapman
Johnathon Brown
Cyril Rioli
Brad Johnson

Annoyed that i won't have Chad Cornes as i had him at the start but i have no patience and booted him when injured.

At the start i did way to much trading but oh well that's half the fun.

 

[Gerbil]

Wow you must have burnt some trades. Ibbotson shouldnt be there, nor should Palmer and aruguably Rioli.

None of those 3 will be in my final team.

 

[gwono]

Heh, I sit around 2000ish as well...but with 13 trades and 200k dosh.


Palmer is a classy guy who is averaging 85 on the dot.
Ibbo is averaging 89.17
Rioli is also averaging 92.89

They are all very good players... I only fear their inconsistency at times.

Weakest player in that team by far is simmonds.

...which is where coaches that dont plan to trade him out will come undone in finals when smarter coaches trade him out and pick up a White, Sandi or maybe even a Fraser.

 

[EatBig Australia]

injuries will occur but i get bored and have to fiddle.

 

[alternatevista]

Hopefully Ottens has a slow return from injury and we'll be able to pick him up for cheap. Otherwise Sandilands is the only other consistent ruck I'd consider.

 

[Athomas]

Good team.

you are stuffed though.

Who are your emergencies anyway?

 

[lookkg386]

It's a nice starting team, who's on bench, anyone useful at all?

 

[Whiskers]

Whats your rank? Im 25th overall and very pumped up as i still have 13 trades left. I keep looking at my side and it has a few holes though, i wonder how i got my rank so high.

Im gonna start trading hard to fix them now though. My midfield is weak. I actually started Browne lol and my rank improved 40 places to 25 lol. This week will be upgrading Houli to someone but who any suggestions? Then Browne can get back on that bench. I also am trading out Tippett/Gamble to free up the cash to do so.

I also have Simmonds but not trading him out yet anyway. My backline is also a bit worrying I have the inconsistent Mundy, Osborne and Mattner starting.

Plenty of holes to fix so im wondering why no one is flogging me?

May as well post my side. Can i win from here? Oh and no my captains each week are not Great and keeping me in it. Wish i had Ablett when he scored 256.

Backs Shaw, Birchall, Mattner, Burgoyne, Osborne, Cornes, Mundy Em Taylor, Proud

Mids Ablett, Hayes, Dal Santo, Stevens, Palmer, Browne Em Geary, Houli

rucks Cox, Simmonds Em Kruezer, Hampson

Forwards Franklin, Pavlich, Porplyzia, Bradshaw, Rioli, B Johnson, J Brown Em Gamble Tippett.

I'd trade Houli to Cotchin before he goes up this week then upgrade Palmer to Bartel if you can afford him or Black etc...

 

[AD03]

My Team after I trade in Heath Shaw for Woneamirri will be:

BACKS: Heath Shaw, Nathan Bock, Andrew McLeod, Peter Burgoyne, Lindsay Gilbee, Brendon Goddard, Harry Taylor (Jack Grimes, Darren Pfeiffer)

MIDFIELD: Gary Ablett, Simon Black, Adam Cooney, Chris Judd, Marc Murphy, Rhys Palmer (Trent Cotchin, Steven Browne)

RUCKS: Dean Cox, Troy Simmonds (Matthew Kreuzer, Shaun Hampson)

FORWARD: Jonathon Brown, Ryan O'Keefe, Paul Chapman, Nick Riewoldt, Robert Murphy, Jason Porplyzia, Cyril Rioli (Ben McKinley, Addam Maric)


Out of that team I'll only be upgrading two players, so Simmonds, Palmer or Taylor as I don't have as many trades as I would like... Only 7 left.

 

[Ole Gill]

I'm finalised with

Cornes, Shaw, Burgoyne, Goddard, Milburn, Bradshaw, Mattner

Dal Santo, Cross, Salopek, Murphy, Stevens, Palmer

Cox, Simmonds

Brown, Riewolt, Didak, Burton, Porplyzia, B.Johnson, Rioli

Would love to upgrade Palmer or Rioli but just don't have the trades.

 

[Bada Bing!]

My team will be finalised after one more trade next week (M.Murphy > J.Bartel).

Will leave me with only 4 trades and $100k in the bank for injuries though.

BACKS:
H.Shaw
G.Johncock
S.Fisher
D.Milburn
L.Gilbee
A.McLeod
D.Pfeiffer (Thanks for the 98, now enjoy the magoos?)
S.D.Thompson (Why wont Laidley play the lad??)

MIDS:
J.Corey
S.Pendlebury
S.Thompson
N.Stevens
M.Murphy (To be upgraded to J.Bartel next week)
R.Palmer
G.Ibbotson
T.Cotchin

RUCKS:
D.Cox
T.Simmonds
S.Hampson

FORWARDS:
L.Franklin
J.Brown
B.Deledio
M.Pavlich
P.Chapman
J.Porplyzia
C.Rioli
B.McKinley
S.Valenti

I know that having Sausage Rioli and Simmonds starting isnt the most desireable thing consistency wise, and that the majority of my reserves are fringe players at best, but as previously stated... I get bored and have to fiddle

Barring major injuries, hopefully should post 2200 each week and hopefully will have those trades to burn come finals time.

The funny thing is i have all of those players, and considered them to be in my final team, and keepers!

 

[gwono]

Simmonds cannot be considered a keeper.

Upgrade this week/next week: Myers
Upgrade rest of season: Bryce Gibbs (2), Simmonds (1), Brett Jones (4), Palmer (3)

Priority.
