30. Tippett (FWD)

First draft and will probably change my mind 30 times in the next week. Trying to back my instinct as to breakout years to ensure I donn't have to make too many trades of mid-range players. Pfieffer down back is a bit of a worry as well... Thoughts?

chaplin is injured and will be playing FB so i wouldn't get him
coughlan is in doubt
overall prett good effort for first try
pfeiffer i wouldn't start on the field
forward line is pretty good
midfield is a good set up
and hayes and reilly aren't in many teams so could get an edge with those
backline is a bit too risky though

 

[Maestro15]

Does Jolly usually score well, or is Simmonds a better choice?

[kenny712]

Any comments on my team would be appreciated. got 17200 in the bank and my only concerns are vince and thornton

 

[TheBigUnit]

- Get better rookies that will actually play some games; I'd replace Tippett, Hill, Hanley, Jacobs and Stokes (maybe).
- More proven guns needed in the backs; far too many mid-priced players

 

[KouDogg]

How does this look guys?

I am abit iffy on Thompson and Gram. I cant see who to get rid of so i can upgrade them???

Or is Thompson and Gram fine?

Would love to hear people's constructive thoughts. Overall strategy is to lock in some cash cows at the back, bit of a mix in the middle, and look to upgrade some of the forwards at a later date.

Cheers in advance.

I like it. Maybe replace a few of the mid range forwards though.

 

[KouDogg]

Gram for Birchall or Guerra

Thompson for Vince or Hawkins.

Cant afford either of them.

And i dont really like the sound of the other two.

Hrrrrrmmmmm this is really hard.....

thoughts ?

 

[AGC]

I've taken a different approach this year, and gone for "development" players, with a lot left over in the salary cap for later on in the season. I think this squad is pretty handy, given the amount of money that I have left, and the rises in prices that my players will recieve.

Backs:

Jesse Smith- Roos
Max Rooke- Geelong
Shannon Hurn- Eagles
Ryder- Bombers
Gibson- Roos
Nikoski- Eagles
Ed Lower- Roos

bench:

Jay Neagle- Bombers
Scott Thompson- Roos

Midfielders:

Braun- Eagles
Griffen- Dogs
Stevens- Carlton
Judd
Dal Santo
Goodes

bench:

Palmer
Coughlan

Rucks:

Wood
Leunberger

Renouf
Hampson

Forwards:

Bradshaw- Lions
Thompson- Roos
Fevola- Blues
Williams- Hawks
Brown- Brisbane
Roughhead- Hawks
Ebert- Port

Rioli
Tippett

I know my backline is pretty bad (actually very bad) but I think this team is ok, from a purely "winning the league" perspective, given that I have $941000 left in my salary cap, and that i've chosen players who are definately going to rise in price.

Probably the worst DT backline I have -ever- seen.

 

[AGC]

Yep- but the thing is that players like Rooke, Hurn, Lower and Gibson will all increase in price, guys like Cornes will decrease and I'll have over $100000 to splash on them. I don't care about winning the Aurion, I want to win my league.

Yeah not a bad side...if you have never watched a game of football.
Come on man, this side is terrible. Wont even start to tell you where it is wrong.

how are judd, goodes, dal santo, stevens, braun, brown and fev development" players??

 

[demondude]

done a few upgrades with the team..just want your thoughts on these options

option 1. leave team as it is with $128k

option 2. downgrade salopek for either ling/t.johnstone/pearce or anything under 348k and upgrade bartram to n.stevens leaving no cash in bank

I would leave Salopek but use the $128k to upgrade drummond to either Bowden or Cornes. Then use the remainder somewhere else.

I would have thought salopek to have an awesome year given his preseason form.

What do you guys think?

 

[AGC]

I'm not trying to build a side for a premiership, by "development" I mean players that are also clearly below their value.

Obviously I need a few players to make my team somewhat competitive, that I actually stay in the finals hunt in my league.

 

[treefingers]

IMO I'd upgrade Coughlan to Stevens and Salopek to Hayes. Instead of 1 downgrade and 1 upgrade its 2 upgrades for the same price.
