Post Your Team (Part 2)

[Igloo]

I think I have my side how im going to go into round 1 with. Going for league win, fwiw.

Back: Goddard, Shaw, Birchall, Hargrave, Ellis, Bugg, Clarke (Morris, Darley)

Mid: Pendlebury, Ablett, Selwood, Griffen, Ziebell, Shiel (Magner, C. Smith)

Ruck: Cox, Mcintosh (Giles, Stephenson)

Fwd: Goodes, Franklin, Fyfe, Martin, Winderlich, D. Smith, Bate (Hall, Cameron)

6 GWS players, which is concerning. Didn't really want to put Cameron in, but couldn't think of another option. Forward rookies are tough.

 

[BigVic]

Here is my final round 1 (pre Sydney v GWS) team. Going for a league win and aiming to improve my overall ranking from 927 (my personal best) last year.

Team Name: Big V Superstars

DEF: Goddard, Deledio, Birchall, Broughton, Lake, Ellis, Bugg (Mohr, Smedts)
MID: Pendlebury, Boyd, Ablett, Thompson, D. Smith, Shiel (C. Smith, Magner- FOR LOOPHOLE)
RUC: Cox, Giles (Redden, Stephensen)
FWD: Franklin, Goodes (VC), Martin, Sidebottom, Pfeiffer, Cameron (Kennedy, Hall)
CASH LEFT: $5, 600

Thoughts and should I get Goddard or Suckling and Pfeffier or Saad?

 

[Byron_Clanger]

great side byron!
as a matter of interest, how did you go last year?

League wise I made it to the Grand Final and lost, Overall wise I was like in the top 8,000 or something, I'm not that good at Dream Team

 

[sauce_head]

As someone who is from and still lives in the UK, you be better of living under a rock than this shit hole!

I've not been to NI. But any thoughts on Lake?!

Kerridge for Dickson. Will be dropped when Douglas comes back in the team

pretty good team otherwise

 

[chelsea4thewin]

Backs: Goddard, Shaw, Duffield, Waters, Golby, Howard, Dempsey (Clarke, Bugg)

Mids: Thompson (c), Priddis (vc), Mzungu, Palmer, McCarthy, Parker (Shiel, Magner)

Rucks: Hale, Kreuzer (Giles, Redden)

Forwards: Robinson, Zaharakis, Petrie, Dangerfield, J.Riewoldt, Pearce, Porplyzia (D.Smith, Kennedy)

$39,500 leftover.

I've gone for a value for money side. Thompson will be my captain every round for first 8 or 9 rounds until I trade in either Swan, Boyd, Pendlebury or Ablett - whoever is going better.
Thoughts?

terrible midfield

Wow this is the closest to my team, I also have all the highlighted players.

 

[BartBart]

Backs: Goddard, Deledio, Birchall, Broughton, Hargrave, Clarke, Ellis (Bugg, Darley)

Mids: Pendlebury, Boyd, Ablett, A.Swallow, Coniglio, Shiel (McDonald, Magner)

Rucks: Mumford, Giles (Redden, Hall)

Forwards: Franklin, Goodes, Fyfe, Martin, Sidebottom, Porplyzia, Smith (Hall, Dickson)

Even though he wasn't selected I still don't have the guts to take out Darley yet, I would be pissed if I take him out now only for him to get selected next week, so I'll see how I feel about it tomorrow before lockout

I have been trying to work out whether I should get Clarke. Very tempting on the price, but it worries me on whether he'll play much. Could easily use the money to upgrade players though!

Just an opinion but your backline is weaker then most teams i've seen with an extra rookie in your backline compared to most ive seen with Ellis as D7 & Bugg D8 but on the other hand your midfield looks really good.

Mohr does not look like he will do well in dream team, his pre season scores have been low.

Smedts JS could be low as well.

Possible other guys to consider morris & townsend. It's unfortunate that Darley is not selected to play round 1.

 

[DeadlyAkkuret]

Be brutally honest and suggest changes if you feel it can improve my side. Thanks

D: Goddard, Shaw, Deledio, Heppell, Stratton, P. Davis, Hunt (Ellis & Bugg)

M: Pendlebury, Ablett, Murphy, Dangerfield, Parker, Cunningham (Coniglio & Magner)

R: Goldstein, Kreuzer (Giles & Redden)

F: Franklin, Fyfe, Martin, Hurley, Butcher, D. Smith, Pfeiffer (Saad & Kennedy)

$10,200 remaining.

Nice work

 

[scullman]

Just putting the final touches on my team. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Do you think I need to make any more changes or bring in any more rookies?

Backs: Scotland, Goddard, Deledio, Lake, Clarke, Ellis, Bugg
Emerg: Hunt, Darley

Mids: Pendlebury, Ablett, Murphy, S Thompson, Lucas, J McDonald
Emerg: Clifton, J Magner

Rucks: Kruezer, McIntosh
Emerg: Giles, Stephenson

Forwards: Franklin, Goodes, Cloke, Martin, Dangerfield, Porplyzia, D Smith (GWS)
Emerg: Pfeiffer, A Saad

Cheers guys and girls. Any input as I said would be great.Have a good weekend

 

[Coastal_Pie]

Hey Boys, this is my team:

Def: Shaw, Deledio, Suckling, Broughton, Hardgrave, Golby, Bugg
(Clarke, Ellis)

Mids: Pendles, Ablett, Gibbs, Selwood, C.Smith, Shiel, (Kennedy, Magner)

Rucks: Sandi, Giles (Redden, Stephenson)

Forwards: Franklin, Fyfe, Martin, Sidebottom, Dangerfield, Porps, D.Smith
(Hall, Couch)


Was thinking if I downgraded Golby to a def rook I could go:

Gibbs ---> Swan
Mid Rook > Congilo

What do you think Im better off doing? Cheers

 

[nighthawk]

Mid:
Pendlebury, Ablett, Selwood, Corey, Coniglio, Magner (C. Smith, D. Shiel)

Cox, Giles, (Redden, Stephenson)

Forward:
Franklin, Fyfe, Martin, Giansiracusa, Hurley, Pfieffer, Weedon, (Cameron, Hall)

Please let me know what you think

 

[Parquet Court]

gone for a team with a big amount left over... probably a little light on in the rucks but i have gone massive in the mids and will only have to upgrade the once there hopefully.

fwd line may also need some tweaking, depends on if you take the 5 premiums in the mids.

comments and criticisms particularly welcome

B: goddard, deledio, scotland, lake, ellis, morris, bugg, smedts, darley (confident he will be a round 2 in.

M : Pendlebury, S Thompson, Ablett, Selwood, Rockliff, Shiel, Coniglio, magner

R : Sanidlands, Giles, Redden, Stephenson

F : Franklin, pavlich, martin, fyfe, D smith, dickson, pfeiffer, hampton, hall

Looks good overall!

As much as I hate to say it being a Cats fan, Corey will be managed this year and there may be better options for you in the mids.

Gia is an interesting pick? Anything in particular make you go down that path?

It definitely starts off reading very strong and you are obviously aware that the forwards trail off a bit. The only worry I have is that this year the forward rookies are probably the weakest, some with no JS, and you have plenty there and no DPP from your mids to help out.

I wouldn't like to be sitting there knowing I needed 2 of the last 4 forwards to play, and Devon Smith getting a rest/rotation (unlikely) would be soul destroying early.

If the forwards survive though, your mids are going to smash it and put you in a great spot!

cheers mate, very keen to keep the 5 premium mids, fwds are a pickle, i might have to have another dreaded mid pricer like porpoise to get a bit more job security.

thanks for the input

That is one option if you have money, another is Folau. I know everyone is saying he is not going to score big, but he has solid JS, good pair of hands, is a target, can tackle, and just might give you 50 odd and take away some stress.

Having said that, I don't have him but my structure is different to yours, way different actually!

tried this prototype with a few more mid rangers, better JS but is the money better spent else where??

R: Sandi, Giles, stephenson, redden

F : franklin, fyfe, martin, cloke, pavlich, hampton, saad, hall, dickson

little more DPP help there, probably better rounded, but i hate having mid ranger hacks in there !!

Thanks for that insight friend

I was thinking with Gia that he has been very consistent for a few years now, but I'm not totally sure about him...

What do you think of the Hurley pick? I'm trying not to be biased, but I genuinely feel his scores will improve and he's already been fairly consistent, and been matched up on heavily, so I can't imagine he'll get any worse. And are my cheapies looking okay do you think?

Thanks alot for the input!

Be Kind!!!!

[Ethan93]

Would love to wake up to some thoughts on the team:
Def: Carrazzo, H. Shaw, Deledio, Golby, Hargrave, M. Clarke, Ellis (Tomlinson, Morris).
Mids: Boyd, Murphy, Thompson, Watson, Mzungu, Shiel (Wingard, Magner)
Rucks: Jacobs, Giles (Redden, Big O)
Fwds: Franklin, Fyfe, Cloke, Martin, Dangerfield, D. Smith, Pfieffer (Kennedy, Dickson).
Sal: $59600. Byes sorted out to best of ability. Am risking the rucks with the byes (two 11's) but plan on upgrading Giles before then.
Cheers, and good luck with all today's decisions.

I'd get Wingard out, put D. Smith in your mids, play Kennedy and get A. Hall (GC) as a rookie in your forwards (reserve)

With Smith in your mids, you will be able to use his Dual position ability with your forwards for extra cover

otherwise .. great team .. bit iffy on Mzungu, but hey .. I'm no fortune teller .. could end up being a great pick
