Does anyone think hampson could actually be ok as number 1 ruck at richmond while ivan is out ? He could do a 2012 ivan surely he can average more than 61

Yep. Even if he's out for five weeks, I can see an 85 average coming from that. Currently have him in at the moment.

Looks like a decent enough squad you have there. You could probably trade Longer down to Thurlow (if he gets a game) to save you some cash and you'll need to get rid of Bock, Kolodjashnij and Fuller as they all look like they won't play Round 1. Probably go Kennedy-Harris/Merrett (if they get a game), Laidler and Langford.

Thanks mate. Yeah haven't really done much rookie research yet, will probably change half of them near round 1

As said before, a good squad, but a couple of rookies that won't play. Another one is O'Rourke, he's had a setback with a back injury, so we won't see him before the middle of the season. Also, Wright has said himself that his role will change week to week in terms of whether he is a tagging forward or an offensive midfielder, so watch out for that. Also, I'm assuming that is K.Kolodjashnij, because if so, Luke McDonald is a readymade replacement for him.

 

[llama2]

A preliminary draft:
Def: McVeigh, Mitchell, Hanley, Swallow, Suckling, McDonald (Laidler, Fuller)
Mid: Swan, Rockliff, Cotchin, Beams, Thomas, Shiels, Ellis, Polec (C.Beams, Michie)
Ruc: Mumford, Sandilands (Derickx, Currie)
Fwd: Dangerfield, Martin, Zorko, Dahlhaus, Watts, Rohan (Kennedy-Harris, Fasolo)
88,800 left over.
Thoughts would be really appreciated

 

[Clint Beastwood]

llama2 , I'm liking it, a few questions over Fuller though. Also the forward line is an interesting one. Dahlhaus, Zorko, Watts and Rohan together could be a recipe for disaster. I'd use the 88k left over to upgrade one of them, Dahlhaus if it was me.

yeah, i'm not confident of franklin given what he's produced over the pre-season. I don't know who to though.

I've now swapped fuller to langford (or whoever plays round 1), and upgraded watts to parker.

Does anyone know how this round 1 unlimited trade thing is gonna go?

What if for example, I score big round 1. My opponents in each league can see my team and easily use their unlimited trades to make a team exactly like mine or something very similar.

I really hope the teams aren't viewable until the unlimited trades are over. Worked really hard at making my team and am extremely happy with it. Don't like the idea of someone coming a long and copying it

 

[Modbury_Hawk_12]

You guys wanna help me out, I'm not real great at this so tips would be appreciated:

DEF: Sam Mitchell, Corey Enright, Kade Simpson, David Swallow, Matt Suckling, Luke McDonald, Kade Kolodjashnij, Matthew Fuller

MID: Dane Swan, Gary Ablett, Jobe Watson, Dayne Beams, Dale Thomas, Jack Martin, Viv Michie, Claye Beams, Jared Polec, Dom Tyson

RUCK: Shane Mumford, Aaron Sandilands, Fraser Thurlow, Daniel Currie

FORW: Patrick Dangerfield, Dustin Martin, Lance Franklin, Alex Fasolo, Mitch Clark, Gary Rohan, Jay Kennedy-Harris, Mitch Honeychurch

$322,600 left over.

At the moment I'm looking at trading up for another premium mid, trading one of my rookie rucks for Grundy if Sandilands doesn't pull up for round 1 and swapping Rohan for Bock if Bock is fit for round 1. Also, I definitely want Walker in my side when he returns.

Thanks in advance.

I think rather than copy another's team some people are going in with completely different Round 1 and 2 teams, because of games like St Kilda v Melbourne and Sydney v GWS.

Anyone wanna have a look at the balance of this side for me?

Dreamteam closing in once again looking forward to it here's my team, feel free to give any opinion or advice swaps ect



i still have 160,900 Left in the kitty

Thanks in advance for any input

 

[kaisasosai]

Thoughts guys?

I know I have 2 mid cost players in the mids but I can see Stevens and Thomas both having a good season.

Other than that I think the team is pretty balanced

 

[scullman]

This is my first crack at my team this year. Any thoughts? Much appreciated. Thank you all
I also have $153,100 in the bank.

Some good picks, but your forward rookies are a little weak imo. Some good mid rookies this year, so I suggest downgrading one of the mid premiums to a rookie and upgrade one of your forward rooks.

Nice team. I've got my eye on Koby as well, great potential and underpriced.

Quick team I put together in 10 minutes but a few question marks:

• Hampson gets starting ruck duties until Maric returns over Vickery?
  
• Claye Beams gets a starting mid position?
  
• Is Christian Howard best 22 for the dogs?

Is M. Crouch for Adelaide a good cash cow?

Couple of thoughts re this side.
Hibberd, I'm over cautious when it comes to hammys, especially when we're talking the Bummers.
Also think Mitchell should be in your backs.
Murphy worries me. Very taggable, yeah he's cheap but I don't like him.
Chappy will miss games, Thomposn has already said that. He's been an awesome DTer, but I reckon he's past that now.

Cracking side, only minor issue is that you may have 1 too many rooks on the field in your mids. Personally I like the 5 premo's, Daisy & 2 Rooks approach on the field
How long till Bock plays?

I reckon that Hampson will spend more time in the ruck than Vickery. Riewoldt is due to spend more time roaming this year, so they'll want Vickery parked in the forward 50 I'm guessing.
I'd play either Polec or Ellis on the field instead of Beams. Have you considered swapping him for Dunstan?
Howard is nowhere near best 22 for the dogs. Langdon could be a good alternative at a similar price?
*IF* M. Crouch gets games he will make good cash, but I foresee some vests in his future. I think that you'd be better off jumping on when he's on the bubble instead of starting him.
