Scott Lucas out for Nathan Krakeour and Trent Hentschel out for Mitch Brown will free up some cash for that backline of yours.

I'll consider those, but I'm not sold on either of them to be honest. I think it might end up costing me too many trades early on, as well as making scoring in the Forward line too thin. I understand they'd be more moneymakers than scorers, but I still want to get points on the board from the word go.

As well as what I said above, are Krakouer and Brown (West Coast one, I'd assume) even certain to play early? I thought both were on the fringe, just outside of the Power's and the Eagle's 22s respectively.
 
I'm thinking this could be my final team:

Backs: L Hodge, B Goddard, C Cornes, T Lockyer, J Adcock, A Raines, S Hill (J Petrenko, G Broughton)

Mids: G Ablett, B Gibbs, G Ibbotson, C Masten, D Mackay, D Rich (J Davenport, M Robinson)

Rucks: D Cox, H McIntosh (S Jacobs, J Spencer)

Forwards: M Pavlich, B Deledio, P Chapman, R Gray, R Houlihan, S Higgins, H Skipworth (T Walker, M Brown)

Only $1300 left in the cap, but I think this is the strongest team i have come up with so far. Any thoughts?

EDIT: Would it worthwhile downgrading R Gray to N Krakeour and upgrading G Ibbotson to T Boak?
 
Backs- Hodge, Cornes, Thornton, Adcock, Malceski, Raines, S. Hill (Rance, Suban)

Mids- Ablett, Gibbs, Kerr, S. Selwood, Rich, T. Tuck (Davenport, Beams)

Rucks- Hille, Cox (Graham, Spencer)

Fowards- Deledio, Sylvia, Roughead, Alwyn Davey, Ziebell, Higgins, Monfries (Sidebottom, Gumbleton)

Any thoughts on players such as Davey, Tuck, Malceski and Thornton?

Davey or Lucas?

51k left in bank. Could upgrade a foward. Suggestions overall?

have a look on the port board. most of their round 1 teams dont include gray. i was ineterested until i saw this. i still think he will play but maybe only 15-18 games.
 
I see a fair few teams have the Hill/Suban/Broughton trio as their last three backs.

Is the thinking behind this that two out of the three are likely to play every week? Or are all three genuine chances to play most of the season?

I'd be happy to use this combination if they're all going to be regulars. The main alternative is Petrenko, and as a Crows supporter I have doubts that he'll string more than a couple of games together at the start of the season. He's probably a lock for round 1 with Johncock and Symes out, but I reckon he'll be under real pressure to hold his spot beyond round two.
 
Any recommended changes (keepers in BOLD)???????

Backs: Embley, S.Fisher, Goddard, C.Cornes, Houlihan, Raines, Hill (Petrenko, Suban)

Mids: K. Cornes, Cross, Gibbs, T.Tuck, Butler, Rich (Otten, Robinson)

Rucks: Cox, Maric (Jacobs, Spencer)

Forwards: Deledio, Didak, Gia, L.Davis, Higgins, Skipworth, Hentschel (Walker, M.Brown)

$27,100 in bank.

Really torn between Maric & H. McIntosh - would appreciate opinions as to whether their rest times will be in the forward lines or on the benches?

Yes. Boak has much more upside than Ibbotson in 2009. Whilst R. Gray has plenty of DT potential, Krakouer's twig of a body is much more durable.

IMO Gray is in our 22, but he's probably the 22nd player selected in that best 22. A slight form drop and he could be out for Thompson or Logan quite easily.
 
With a shift of strength from my midfield to backline, I think I'm finally happy with my structure:

Hodge, Fisher, Goddard, Cornes, Adcock, Houlihan, Raines (Hill, Broughtan)

Ablett, Swan, Gibbs, Tuck, Rich, Otten (Anthony, Beams)

Cox, HMac (Spencer, Jacobs)

Pavlich, Deledio, NGBrown, Higgins, Skipworth, Krakouer, Zeibell (Brown, Walker)

I had Hill starting but with the other two rookies no guarentee I decided to remove Kornes for Otten and replace Patrenko with S Fisher. My backline is now very solid, with you'd imagine at least Hill playing as an emergency. On the face of it my forwardline is the weakest but I think that's where the majority of the bargain buys are, so it doesn't bother me too much. That said, with Skippy / Krakouer & Zeibell spots potentially tenuous, that's where I may run into some problems.
 
Hodge, Goddard, C.Cornes, Lockyer, Malceski, Fletcher, Raines, Rance, Petrenko

Bartel, Ablett, K.Cornes, J.Selwood, Hill, Otten, Robinson, Anthony

Cox, McIntosh, Graham, Browne

Deledio, Chapman, J.Riewoldt, Higgins, Skipworth, Hentschel, Ziebell, M.Brown, Walker

66k in the bank

Not sold on all my reserves yet, figured one of browne or graham will play round 1. Will also look at spencer from the dees in the rucks

Back reserves could be anyone at this stage, will see who plays round 1, same with the forwards.

May get rich, but i think he will be better value in SC

Thinking of getting Lucas, but may see how he goes in the first 2 weeks or so.

done some more work on my team.

daholygrail.jpg


ive made some picks that some people might not agree with but there my smokeys that i think will breakout this year. eg cloke,clarke,mundy/kosi and stanton to an effect. already avg 93 from last year inlcuding 102 in second half of the year once he got used to the tag i believe.

any thought would be great.

also for sum reason my gut tells me not to start with cox. im not sure why and the chances are ill be wrong but who knows

Maybe think about upgrading your midfield and downgrading your rucks:thumbsu::D

Not enough cats players, get more.
 
Thoughts? Particularly on players such as Davey, Tuck, Thornton and Malceski.

Backs- Hodge, Cornes, Adcock, Thornton, Malceski, S.Hill, Raines (Suban, Rance)

Mids- Ablett, S.Selwood, Kerr, Gibbs, Tuck, Rich (Beams, Robinson)

Rucks- Cox, Hille (Graham, Spencer)

Fwds- Sylvia, Didak, Deledio, Monfries, Alwyn Davey, Higgins, Ziebell (Hogan, Gumbleton)

As I have said, my team is fairly standard, but I have taken risks on some of my players in the hope it will set me apart, whether it will be in a positive way we shall see.

Any input is appreciated.
