Post your team here - 2011 (Part III)

[Blue and Gold Blood]

My team now is:
Gibbs, Scotland, Deledio, Suckling, Enright, Goddard, Adcock, (Pederson, Lower, Golby)

Pendlebury (c), Swan, Mitchell, A.Swallow, Watson, Bartel (Hibberd, Mzungu, Wallis)

Cox, Z.Smith (Tippett, McCauley)

S.Johnson, Fyfe, Sylvia, Goodes, Petrie, Chapman, Franklin (N.Riewoldt, Richardson, Howe)

Pretty happy. Got 23 premiums in my side now. Probably the most complete side ive had for any season. Probably wont touch it again until round 18 or thereabouts if i havent had any more LTI's.

 

[HolyRioli]

Backs

B Gibbs, B Goddard, B Deledio, J Adcock, D Heppell, M Hibberd, N Lower
P Puopolo, J Toy, B Smith

Pretty light on, will be looking to make moves here shortly. With both Goddard and Adcock missing this week, will be starting 5 rookies. Not ideal, but it's been that hard to pick consistant backmen this year


Midfield

D Swan, S Pendlebury, G Ablett, M Boyd, M Murphy, L Hodge
T Mzungu, D Harris, B Jacobs

Midfield finished. Mzungu and Jacobs providing nice DPP cover. Harris will stay as bench cover for now, maybe late trade down for a cash grab. Pretty happy with my final midfield


Rucks

D Cox, A Sandilands
Z Smith, M Bailey

Standard ruck duo, Smith and Bailey providing good cover. Need both of them to play round 15 to avoid a 0


Forwards

L Franklin, C Sylvia, N Fyfe, P Chapman, N Reiwoldt, C Rioli, J Howe
A Krakouer, B Matera, C Richardson

Matera and Richardson have been dead on the bench the last few weeks. Will need to punt one of them in round 17 (probably Matera, he's at least worth something) to avoid a 0. Happy enough.


Overall - midfieldl, forward line and rucks I'm happy with. Backline needs work but not sure if I can be bothered, might wait til finals unless a premium has a significant drop. Knowing my luck as soon as I trade one in he'll spud it.

 

[Athomas]

Thought I would post my complete team up (what my team will be from this Round). Going to enjoy it while I can! 21 Premiums + Zac Smith.

Goddard, Enright, Fisher, Rawlings, Birchall, Carrazzo, Gibbs (Puopolo, Nicholson, Coad)
Thompson, Murphy, Boyd, Shiels, Pendles, Rockliff (Buckley, Prestia, Smith)
Cox, Smith (Bailey, Moran)
Fyfe, SJ, Chapman, Buddy, Goodes, ROK, Sylvia (Darling, Mzungu, Harper)

Don't ask how many trades because it's not many! But rather happy with this team!

 

[BiTeGumsux]

After this week

Goddard, Fisher, Rawlings, Scottland, Gibbs, Enright, Hibberd (Lower, Jacobs, Howard)

Swan, Pendlebury, Boyd, Shiels, Mitchell, Bartel (Heppell, Mzungu, Bewick)

Rucks
Cox, Petrie (Smith, McCauley)

Forwards

Pretty happy with my team. Its completed now, and at least 2 subs have fairly good JS for fwd bac and mid, so can't complain.

Have 5 trades left, which will be used on Carlton and Essendon players for finals, hoping I don't get burned by injuries...

 

[power-ade]

Getting close to the final team. I welcome any suggestions or comments to improve my team.

If all available best team below with $59,100 salary cap and 9 trades remaining.

Brendon Goddard, Bryce Gibbs, Cory Enright, Brett Deledio, Greg Broughton, Jed Adcock, Dyson Heppell (Nick Lower, Danny Stanley, Paul Puopolo)

Scott Pendlebury, Dane Swan, Matthew Boyd, Leigh Montagna, Gary Ablett, Jimmy Bartel, (Daniel Harris, Andrew Krakouer, Ben Jacobs)

Dean Cox, Zac Smith (Broc McCauley, Joel Tippett)

Colin Sylvia, Adam Goodes, Nick Riewoldt, Cyril Rioli, Alan Didak, Drew Petrie, Jack Riewoldt (Jack Darling, Tendai Mzungu, Ian Callinan)

 

[Mudeo]

Would like to get some feedback on the unique mids. Gone for a completely different look rather than the usual premium mids.

What do you guys think?

 

[Scotland]

B: Gibbs, Deledio, Broughton, Lower, Stanley, Puopolo, Hibberd (Goddard, Heppell, Golby)

C: Boyd, S Thompson, Swan, Pendlebury, Ablett, K Simpson (Krakouer, Prestia, Jacobs)

R: Cox, Smith (Clark, McCauley)

F: Sylvia, Pavlich, Goodes, Petrie, Knights, Lynch, Mzungu (N Riewoldt, Franklin, Richardson)

Bolded guys belong in the 22. Have had a stinker of a month.

 

[Atavistic]

Eight trades left.

B: Gibbs, Goddard, Enright, Deledio, Suckling, Duffield, Heppell
E: Stanley, Nicholson, R Tarrant
M: Swan, Boyd, Ablett, Murphy, Pendlebury, Bartel
E: Mzungu, Prestia, Evans
R: Cox, Ryder
E: Smith, Derickx
F: Franklin, Chapman, Fyfe, Sylvia, Goodes, N Riewoldt, Didak
E: Howe, I Smith, Richardson

It's an OK team. I'm thinking about upgrading Bartel, but not sure whether it's a waste of two trades. Maybe upgrading Heppell or Stanley would be better.

 

[True Blue Saint]

OK people, my line-up for this week is:

Gibbs, Birchall, Shaw, Broughton, Stanley, Puopolo, Hibberd (Heppell, Pedersen, Goddard)

Boyd, Thompson, Pendlebury (VC), Swan, K Simpson, Stanton (Mzungu, Jacobs, Montagna)

Cox, Smith (Griffin, Moran)

Sylvia, Pavlich, Goodes, Chapman (C), Dawes, Howe, Callinan (Lynch, Franklin, N Riewoldt)

Thoughts? Any other captaincy suggestions or selection errors?

 

[Trav 20]

Gibbs, Carrazzo, Suckling, Birchall, Enright, Goddard, Adcock (Heppell, Thompson, ... )

Swan, Murphy, Boyd, Mitchell, Ablett, Bartel (Mzungu, Callinan, ... )

Cox, Petrie (Vardy, ... )

Franklin, SJ, Chapman, Sylvia, Goodes, N. Riewoldt, Knights (Howe, Smith, ... )

One more premium in the forward line would be nice, or getting back Sandilands and moving Petrie back there is an option.

I have zero interest in leagues, but am hoping to finish with a high ranking.

 

[skeme]

Would like to get some feedback on the unique mids. Gone for a completely different look rather than the usual premium mids.

What do you guys think?

To be honest, im not a fan of Boak as a DT'er, despite being a Port Adelaide fan, i do love him as a player tho.

He is consistent, but it may have been worth grabbing someone like Mitchell, Watson, Swan after a price drop (which would drop them to the same price of Boak) but eventually they would consistently score higher.

As a unique i don't think he can pull out those occasional high scores of 130 or 140+ you would want from him, like your other uniques' such as Priddis and Swallow.

My 2c - Hope its helpful

 

[Mudeo]

I have had boak from the start haven't traded him in

 

[skeme]

I have had boak from the start haven't traded him in

Well i wouldn't worry about trading him out then unless you have many spare trades

 

[Mudeo]

nope 1 rule i have had all year is to not trade out premiums and Boak is still a premium.

 

[Roos08]

Gibbs, Deledio, H Shaw, Enright, Goddard, Duffield, Heppell

Murphy, Boyd, Thompson, Pendlebury, Swan, Montagna
Hibberd, Mzungu, Prestia

Cox, Sandilands
Smith, Derickx

Franklin, Johnson, Sylvia, Goodes, Chapman, N Riewoldt, Didak
Smith, Howe, Callinan

5 Trades, $29,100 in the bank.

 

[PowerIStough]

8 trades and 22.7k in the bank.

Thinking of going Sandi ---> Griffin
Puopolo ---> Sam Fisher

or Sandi ---> McEvoy

 

[Suma Magic]

What would you do with this team? 7 trades left, 20k.
Considerations:
- no players who play in finals
- I want 2 trades left for rounds 22/23/24
- I'm maybe 5th best in my league, so may need to go a bit risky to win it.
- Have to trade out H. Shaw

Gibbs, Deledio, Shaw, Heppell, Fisher, Adcock, Lower
Jacobs Toy Howard

Redden, Pendlebury, Mitchell, Thompson, Ablett, D. Swallow
Mzungu, Krakouer, Wallis

Cox, Sandilands
Smith, Vickery

Franklin, Fyfe, Goodes, Sylvia, LeCras, Dawes, I. Smith
J. Reiwoldt, Lynch, Matera

I'm thinking:
- Sandilands downgrade to rookie which should give me around 300k
- Shaw probably to Suckling
- That leaves me with 3 trades to use to prepare for finals (as I'd like to save 2 for rounds 22, 23 and 24).
- Ideally I'd like to upgrade a fwd, defender and a mid, but may have to do just a fwd (Lynch?) and a defender (Toy?) as I couldn't afford three upgrades with 300k, and my reserves are rubbish for forwards and defenders.
- And then take care of mids maybe second week of finals if I'm still alive, as I'd have 3 trades left, and could probably find a downgrade to upgrade D. Swallow or Krak or something.
- Other option is to go risky and leave only 1 trade for rounds 22, 23 and 24.

Please donate me your wisdom.

[Jose_Reyes]

Please help me on this wonderful winter morning ..........

am absolutely in a dream team dilemma (5 trades, 94k bank)

Shaw has to go but I feel like my defence Is ok, maybe I could use the cash?

-- do I trash one of my 5 ruckmen for cash?

-- my fwd line is a joke franklin, goodes, fyfe, Sylvia, Petrie (then riewoldt, prestia, mzungu, callinan, lynch).

-- Sidebottom/Kelly midfield can let me down and also Murphy has the bye, bring in bartel for Jacobs or Smith or M.Wallis?

 

[WakeUpPies]

Final team, 2 trades left, ranked in the top 500 (dropped 200 places this week after scoring 2100s )


B: Goddard Fisher Adcock Enright Gibbs Deledio Hep Stanley Batchelor Jacobs
C: Swan Pendles Shiels Mitchell Boyd Murphy Mzungu Hibberd Cali
R: Cox Ryder Smith Broc
F: Chapman Fyfe Pavlich Riewoldt Sylvia Goodes Franklin Howe Lynch Lobbe

Fingers crossed no more major injuries so I can use the last 2 trades to ditch my Essendon players in round 24 but might just play the GC boys instead since they been playing better than the Essendon boys, especially Ryder...Worst buy of the season.

 

[timskul]

Final team, 3 trades left, rank 1004

Scotland Gibbs Deledio Birchall Goddard Enright Heppell (Gilbert Jacobs Toy)

Swan Pendles Boyd Murphy Selwood Stanton (Iles Hibberd Callinan)

Cox Ryder (Smith McCauley)

Franklin Chapman Sylvia Stevie J Goodes Brennan Riewoldt (Didak Mzungu Talia)

depth is fine, should be alright to cover byes, and extremely annoyed at my decision to trade out Fyfe after his shoulder rumblings, thought by getting of at max price to Stevie J id have a leg up on everyone. Backfired with stevie having done nothing since, same as the 'upgrade' of Stanley > Sam Gilbert, at the time I coudlve bought Broughton
