Awesome...thanks

 

[CaptScott]

Wow, seeing D.Swallow a lot. I had him last season and was plagued with injuries and lowish scores. Only cracked 90 twice last season and both times vs Demons. Am I missing something?

hopefully this year he won't be inury plagued. has gained back positioning, but is a pure midfielder. should spend more time in the guts, as opposed to a hbf.
in an improving suns outfit, only seems natural he improves his scoring.

just watch his role in the pre season games.

My first attempt

DEF: J. McVeigh, S. Mitchell, K. Simpson, M. Suckling, K. Kolodjashnij, E. Wood (M. Fuller, L. Roberts-Thomson)

FWD: N. Riewoldt, P. Dangerfield, D. Martin, L. Franklin, M. Clark, A. Fasolo (G. Rohan, N. Bock)
CASH LEFT: $18,900

Defense drops of pretty quickly

2nd attempt

DEF: J. McVeigh, S. Mitchell, K. Simpson, G. Birchall, M. Suckling, L. McDonald (L. Roberts-Thomson, M. Fuller)

MID: G. Ablett jnr, J. Watson, T. Cotchin, D. Beams, D. Thomas, J. Martin, D. Sheed, D. Tyson (X. Ellis, J. Polec)

FWD: N. Riewoldt, P. Dangerfield, D. Martin, L. Franklin, M. Clark,N. Bock (G.Rohan, T. Garner)

CASH LEFT: $7,300

Think there is a better balance in this side

 

[Clint Beastwood]

Is there a difference in salary cap between DT and Fantasy? I've not been paying attention.

 

[HammerTime55]

Def: S.Mitchell P.Hanley K.Simpson D.Swallow M.Suckling M.Fuller (J.Laidler T.Curran)
Mid: S.Pendlebury M.Barlow B.Stanton C.Masten D.Beams M.Murphy D.Thomas C.Beams (J.Polec X.Ellis)

$1'900 left.

Attempt #2. Rookies will change but have included as mant DPP as I could. I'm still keen on Tippett and Stanton will disappear after his normal BOOM start to the season.

Thoughts?

 

[Scrotes2000]

Thoughts?

Nice team. I like Thomas + Murphy...lots of people are one or the other but I reckon they're both great value.

Walker won't be playing round 1 I wouldn't think.

Thanks for that. Yeah, Walker out. Mayes in.... for now. Until he cops the pre season chop too.
Also Roughead out, Gunston in.
K. Simpson out, Seedsman in. Thoughts?

Take 2


Defence: J.McVeigh, S.Mitchell, P.Hanley, H.Shaw, M.Suckling, L.McDonald Bench: J.Laidlerm M.Fuller

Forward: P.Dangerfield, D.Martin, L.Parker,J.Caddy, T.Menzel, N.Bock Bench: D.Menzel, D.Garlett

$500 left.

i did have B.Ellis in instead of G.Ablett and had that cash tied up with C.Beams instead of N.Freeman, M.Kreuzer instead of C.Dixon and G.Rohan instead of D.Menzel. but i feel asthough i needed Ablett as the midfield sort of looked underwhelming.

Really appreciate any feed back good or bad

To be completely honest, you've gone for a lot of uniques who aren't well known/high scorers and unless they change their games completely I wouldn't have thought you'll score particularly highly. How long have you been playing DT out of interest? Have a look at a few of the teams posted here and look for common players (Martin, McVeigh, Mitchell etc). The bolded ones are some I'd consider replacing unless of course that's what you're going for - mid scoring uniques. At least you've noticed there's way too many Giants, that's a good start. Give it another go

 

[Druitt Soldier]

Ive been playing for a few years now. Im just not that fluent with as many AFL players as NRL players. Thou the Giants ones I've chosen I think will have bigger years then what they have shown over the last two years. Apart from Jetta who I think has also gotten better over the last few years and just suffered last year from injury, the other players youve bolded out I dont really know. Just needed to fill spots.

Cheers

Have to agree with Clint. Some good backs to look into (value wise) include Suckling and perhaps Parker. Also hold back on NicNat until he proves he's fit.

Side note, got a good feeling about GWS this year, will be watching them with much anticipation.
