Post your team here - 2011 (Part III)

[BarcaRulz]

Deledio, Gibbs, Adcock, Heppell, Enright, Goddard, Broughton (Duigan, Toy, Puopolo)
Swan, Boyd, Bartel, Judd, Libba, Krak (Harris, Hibberd, Mzungu)
Cox, Petrie (Smith, McCauley)
Fyfe, Franklin, Pavlich, Goodes, N.Riewoldt, J.Riewoldt, J.Darling (Tapscott, Matera, I.Smith)

Have had a shit season to date with alot of my initial picks just not panning out. Have 190K in the bank and will be bringing in a premium midfielder next week, and then another in a few weeks time as well to finish the midfield.

Any advice?

L. Thompson, Toy, Jacobs

Swan, Boyd, Pendlebury, M. Murphy, Montagna, Krakouer
D. Swallow, Bewick, Hibberd

Cox, Sandilands
Smith, Derickx

Franklin, Goodes, Chapman, S. Johnson, Knights, N Riewoldt, Darling
Matera, Prestia, K. Harper

Obviously my main weakness is in the backline. Will upgrade there last.

Downgrade targets at this stage are Mzungu, I. Smith and Callinan.

Any thoughts?

17 trades left.

Your backline looks really strong

I'd look at trading another true premium into your midfield asap e.g. Pendlebury, Mundy etc.

Get Sandi asap.

Your forwardline look really strong Wait for Chapman to bottom out and trade him in.

 

[Suma Magic]

Deledio, Gibbs, Adcock, H. Shaw, Heppell, Fisher, R. Shaw (Lower, Toy, Jacobs)

Pendlebury, Mundy, Thompson, Goodes, Kennedy, Libba (Swallow, I. Smith, Wallis)

Cox, Sandilands (Smith, Vickery)

Fyfe, Franklin, Dawes, JReiwoldt, Darling, McGlynn, Krak (Varcoe, Matera, Walker)

Next to no cash.
15 trades.
First year of DT, ranked around 37,000.

Next week I'm thinking of bring in Ablett (for McGlynn), downgrading Walker to Lynch. Then next downgrade Mzungu the week after if he's going well.

Downgrade priorities: Walker, Varcoe, Libba, Smith, Matera

Upgrades to do: Ablett, Swan, another premium mid (maybe Watson), a replacement for R. Shaw, 2 forward premiums.

What would you do with this team? It's a bit of mess, but have learnt a lot this year.

Cheers mate.. Pretty much confirms my thoughts. Plan is to get a premium mid next week. Chapman (probably in the mids too) in a few weeks time when he bottoms out.

Have been wanting to get Sandi since his bloody bye, but injuries/form have been ****ing with my trades.

 

[Noobz0r]

Initial picks have been shit so far this year, thats a part of the game though! Forward line done, backline almost done, rucks done (might do Jolly -> Sandi though), midfield shite. 17 trades left:

Mids: Pendlebury, Boyd, Montagna, Boak, Heppell, Liberatore (McKenzie, Harris, Hibberd)

Rucks: Cox, Jolly (Smith, Derickx)

Forwards: Franklin, Sylvia, Didak, N Riewoldt, Zaharakis, R O'Keefe, Rioli (Matera, Prestia, I Smith)

Rucks: Cox, Jolly (Smith, Derickx)

Forwards: Franklin, Sylvia, Didak, N Riewoldt, Zaharakis, R O'Keefe, Rioli (Matera, Prestia, I Smith)

Backs - You need to get rid of at least Lower, probably Broughton as well.
Midfield - Got to tearn Libba/Harris into Swan after round 13.
Rucks - Need Sandi definitely.
Forward - Zaharakis is hit and miss and Didak's spudding it up. I would've traded out Didak a while ago if I were you, now it's probably too late.

My team
Def - Gibbs, Deledio, Adcock, Enright, Goddard, Heppell, Puopolo (Stanley, Lower, Toy)
Mid - Swan, Boyd, Mundy, Goodes, J.Selwood,Higgins (Bewick, Iles, Hibberd)
Ruc - Cox, Sandilands (Smith, Derickx)
For - Franklin, Fyfe, S.Johnson, Knights, N.Riewoldt, Darling, Petrie (Matera, Richardson, I.Smith)

Your thoughts?

Your thoughts?

I'm going to keep Broughton as B7, lost too much cash to trade. Will be upgrading Lower soon though. Plan on getting Ablett next week for Libba and Swan R13 for Heppell. I only bought Didak last week as I thought he had bottomed out... I was wrong .

How many trades have you got left? Midfield looks good, but defence / forwards need work!

Forwards: Sylvia, Franklin, Goodes, S Johnson, Riewoldt, Darling, Krakouer
(Tapscott, Matera, Harper)

Bank: $69,700, 16 trades left.

Next week i'll do
Darling > Mzungu

Matera/Tapscott/Harper > Chapman/Didak/Pav/Fyfe
or
Swallow/Libba/Harris >Ablett/Swan/Mundy

What does everyone think? Already have Pendles so weary of the bye. I was thinking of bringing Ablett in and waiting for Swan to have his bye.

Cox, Sandi (Smith, Tippett)

Goodes, Harvey, Chapman, Knights, Riewoldt, Darling, Polkinghorne (Petrie, Matera, Pitt)

15 trades and $140k remaining.

I'm getting really frustrated/tired of tossing up trade options or sitting with what I've got.
I think the squad is quite good but not sure where to go from here. Do I start using that cash to upgrade or start chopping players who seem down on form but if turned around become an asset?

Also having terrible luck with picking a captain (5/8 weeks, the captain has scored <100) but that's another story.

Any input would be appreciated.

Cheers guys

Happy with Rucks and Forwards will look at upgrading 2 of Harris/Swallow/Hibberd after Collingwoods bye and maybe another back like Enright or Shaw.

Will keep the rest of my trades in case of LTI's.

F: Franklin, Harvey, Riewoldt, Knights, Petrie, Riewoldt, Darling (Tapscott, Prestia, Richardson)

440k in the bank. Targeting Lynch, Mzungu, Chapman, OTHER in next 2 weeks of trading and then probably unleash an onslaught over rounds 12,13,14,15 with about 5/6 upgrades intended and have a finished team bar maybe 1 player.

Going to go a bit 'unconventional' from now on and see where it gets me. My big hope will lie with Prestia and the unique guns I decide to bring in.

 

[Becc73]

My other half's team. Only ranked 5071 ATM but looks good on paper. Could end up a top 200-500 team if some of those premiums start to fire. Much stronger looking team than mine, yet I'm ranked 4000 positions higher...go figure.

Deledio, Gibbs, Adcock, Scotland, Goddard, Enright, Heppell (Lower, B Smith, Poupolo)
Swan, Boyd, Judd, Selwood, Ablett, Hodge (Hibberd, Jacobs, Mzungu)

Chapman Franklin Sylvia Goodes N.Riewoldt Fyfe Knights (Krakouer T.Lynch Richardson)

chugging along nicely, 6k 14 trades, one more fwd upgrade (or downgrade to Didak), and a couple of defenders needed, downgrades to Mzungu & maybe Callinan will keep bank ticking over.
Current rank 486, hoping to push up into 100 or so if im lucky

[Buddyman]

Thats the team atm, 13 trades left, 55k in the bank. Gone hard early now fingers crossed it pays off! Ranked about 2k atm...
Thoughts?

 

[BACCS]

Very happy with this team at present. Ranked 1006 (and have been going up steadily since round 5), and have 10 trades left.

A very settled team now, and don't plan on trading for a while (unless I cop a LTI of course).

 

[Ball Hog]

Team really taking shape now but only 11 trades remaining.

Best team

B: Goddard, Scotland, Gibbs, Deledio, Duffield, Heppell, Stanley (Puopolo, Thompson, Toy)

Couple upgrades left, 1 in backs, 1 in mids and 1 in forwards with 200k in bank. 4-5 trades to complete best 22 with Smith & Curnow best players to be on final bench.
