backs: pretty solid, as you probs know grimes is a risk but if he can get some games under his belt he'll certainly make some cash

mids: again solid but watch barlow. set to miss 3 weeks with soreness in his broken leg http://au.news.yahoo.com/thewest/sport/a/-/afl/12934636/barlow-s-leg-still-sore/

rucks: nice combo, so many different combintions this year and this is one, all depends whether sandi can stay fit and from what i hear kruezer is showing strong signs in trainings

forwards: avoid higgins like the plague!!! missy higgins looks good every year and then always disappoints, imo he is #1 on the blacklist. overwise solid premiums

thanks for the heads up on barlow his brother plays at my local footy club might see if i can get the inside mailas for higgins he has burnt me before but i think he is due for a breakout year and a bit of luck with injuries(hopefully)
on ur ruck dilema u could downgrade to McEvoy and have $60 odd or maybe jacobs and have about $100 grand and turn either into any premo u want

 

[Elochai]

Any advice on this one is greatly appreciated, was doing a little tinkering with my midfield (gave Barlow the boot which prompted a reshuffle)

BACKS: Goddard, Yarran, Deledio, Heppel, Buntine, B Ellis, Sierakowski (S Morris, L Brown)

MID: Ablett (c), Murphy (vc), J Selwood, Scotland, Coniglio, Zorko (S Ross, T Mitchell)

RUCKS: Mumford, Leuenberger (Stephenson, A Pattison)

FWD: Franklin, Goodes, Martin, Fyfe, D Smith, B Smedts, Treloar (T Walsh, Kerridge)

 

[The Captain]

Here is the best starting opening lineup you can have with $89k left in the bank

Backs: Goddard, Shaw, Fisher, Broughton, Lake, Marty Clarke, Bower (Ellis, Mohr)
Mids: Ablett, Murphy, Dal Santo, Priddis, J McDonald, Hampton, (T Mitchell, Docherty)
FWD: Stevie J, Dustin Martin, Zaharakis, Dangerfield, Pfeiffer, S Rowe, Cooyou (Treloar, Tommy Walsh)

What are you guys thoughts on this team?

My main concern is the $ value for Scotland (and the lack of GWS DEF rookies) as well as whether Kreuzer can really step it up (although I think he can and will). I also hear injury rumours about Mitchell & Zaharakis.

DEF: i agree with your assessment thst scotland is overpriced so you could look at other options there if you feel you need the money. in terms of gws rookies, are you concerned because you dont know of any (buntine, mohr) or because you dont have any? imo theres no reason why gws rookies will do any better than other clubs.

MIDS: watson is a nice PoD if he says fit. with your 3premium strategy make sure you pick up the best rookies, which means watch nab cup form closely

RUCKS: pretty standard here, both popular choices atm

FWDS: imo i wouldnt go with all of roo, zaha and sidebottom. imo they all fall into the smokey category (ie players that can potentially average 100+ for the year). i would look at trying to turn one of them into a true premium, if it was me id be looking at upgading roo or sidebottom. then agaim if all three fire you'll be in a good spot

Thanks mate.

DEF: Yeah, I'm just not sure who else instead of Scotland. Suckling & Broughton are tempting, but it's a case of seeing how they go. I mean that I don't have any: the ball is going to be down that end of the field A LOT so I'm sure they'll get plenty of cheap possessions.

MID: I originally had Barlow in the MIDs. I'm going to monitor how he goes to see whether to bring him back in or not. If he fires, he'll be a gun. Definitely agree with you, though. Gotta get the best rookies if I'm playing 3 of them.

FWD: My attitude is they are each from different teams and the likelihood of them doing well is independent of each other. That, plus the fact I think all of them will improve, especially Riewoldt, is worth the risk to me

 

[WeSt CoAsT EaGLeS]

Here is my team. Feedback and criticism would be lovely!

B: Goddard, Deledio, Heppell, Lake, Tuohy, M.Clarke, Ellis [Mohr, Smedts]

M: Ablett (C), Mitchell (VC), Fyfe, Cotchin, Trengove, Coniglio [Shiel, Mitchell]

R: Kreuzer, Stephensen [Giles, Witts]

F: Franklin, Goodes, Blair, Ballantyne, Howe, Gunston, Rohan [Zorko, Treloar]


Some issues I have with this team:

-I initially had Leuenberger as my first ruckman instead of Kreuzer, but I heard that Kreuzer played very well in the intra-club match so I thought Kreuzer would be a better option as he is much cheaper than Leuenberg ($418k compared to $554k). This meant that I could upgrade from Mitch Robinson to Adam Goodes, and upgrade from Jack Darling to Jarryd Blair. What are everyone's thoughts on this? Would it be better to have Kreuzer, Goodes & Blair (as I do now) or Leuenberger, Robinson & Darling?

-Would Ballantyne be a worthwhile option? There's been a lot of talk about playing him as a midfielder with occasional stints in the forward line so would it be reasonable to infer that his SC points will improve compared to last season? I would also like a Carlton supporter's opinion on Tuohy's prospects.

-Does Coniglio still have knee problems and will Brandon Ellis improve on his meagre effort in the NAB cup? He hasn't exactly performed well enough to justify the hype. Perhaps Steve Morris would be a better option?

Like I said, feedback and criticism would be much appreciated. Cheers.

overall i would say you dont have enough proven premiums, i count about 8 and you want to aim for about 12.

Backs: hargrave is struggling with his body atm and i dont see him scoring big this year. imo i would downgrade him to a rookie or get some cadh from somwhere else to upgrade him

Mids: you want more rookies in here, imo u want 4 premiums and then all rookies as midfield rookies make the best cash cows. watch barlow, he's out for 3weeks with soreness in his broken leg making him a bigger risk now. im a dogs fan but with cooneys injury troubles i wouldnt touch him. imo turn him into a rookie and that'll give you the cash to upgrade barlow maybe

Rucks: rucks good but look at giles, will play this year for gws

Fwds: imo too many midprice smokies here. i'd downgrade 1-2 and use the money for some upgrades. remember i'm saying this because i'm a guns'n'rookies guy, never been keen on too many midprice guys

hopes this helps

you cant count players in or out based on one club match/nab match. there's a month of preseason to go. in terms of berger as long as vossy doesnt do something crazy with hudson he'll be the clear #1 ruckman and rack up a heap of points. in terms of a points comparison between him and kruez i'd have him in front but like said the extra $ by taking kruez can be useful. as for ellis, you cant expect a rookie to pull big scores every game, if he plays round 1 and scores reasonably well he'll be a good pickup.

i know what you mean with scotland, imo he'll still average 100+ but i think he'll drop in price a little, hence my plan to pick him up later in the season. losing a little money on a 100+ player isnt the worse thing that can happen in your team

as for the forwards i'll tell you my concerns. imo someone like brown has the same scoring potential as roo but at a cheaper price. it will be interesting to see if roo plays differently under the new coach which might benefit his game. he can definately get the scores, i just worry he's past it. as for sidebottom for a big boost to his scores he needs to play more in the midfield which i dont see happening to a great degree with the likes of swan, pendles and thomas running a muck. the same can be said for zaharakis however unlike sidebottom i believe he'll get more opportunities in the midfield hence why i rate him the best option of the three. hope this helps, nothing wrong with what you've done, just my opinion on the three. im also a guns'n'rookie guy so i personally dont like taking as many smokies

Good to plan ahead, so you are looking for 8 upgrades? does that mean you are looking to upgrade Cotchin? I would consider re-jigging your team to maybe include on of your trade targets in your starting team at Cotchin's expense. That way you only have 7 upgrade targets For example, you could start with Reiwoldt or Deledio in your starting team instead.

I don't see the point in selecting premium priced players if you do not see them as keepers.

This is my third team, so we will see how long it lasts before I change...

B: Goddard, Deledio, Shaw, Broughton, Lake, S.Morris, Brown
(Wilkes, Blee)

C: Ablett, Murphy, Selwood, Clifton, Horsley, McDonald
(Zorko, Gibson)

R: Sandlilands, Giles
(Derickx, Stephensen)

F: Franklin, Johnson, Chapman, Martin, Cloke, N.Reiwoldt, Pfeiffer
(Smedts, Walsh)

Changes from my last team are

OUT: A.Goodes, M.Pavlich, H.Scotland, J.Brown, M.Clarke, K.Stephens & S.Rowe
IN: Murphy, Martin, Cloke, Broughton, Pfeiffer, Derickx & Gibson

I think this has given my team a higher ceiling, but slightly more risk. I also lose a DPP link between defence and midfield, but I still have options up forward. My team is not primed for the bye round situation, however we will worry about that later.

 

[dUkezz]

played around a bit more and came up with this:

goddard deledio shaw broughton clarke ellis wilkes (l.brown r.newell)
pendles ablett murphy watson k.stevens j.macdonald
nicnat hmac (giles stephenson)
buddy fyfe martin riewoldt brown pfiefer zorko

 

[Falchoon]

and upgrade from Jack Darling to Jarryd Blair.

I'm tipping that'll be the first and last time that phrase is written by a weagles supporter, or by any supporter for that matter.

 

[blueiris]

this is a team me and my little brother came up with let us know what you think ?

Defenders; B.Goddard H.Shaw R.Murphy P.Hanley M.Clarke B.Ellis B.Smedts (B.Wilkes N.Blee)
Mids;G.Ablett D.Swan T.Rockliff R.Gray K.Horsey D.Zorko (E.Kavanagh T.Mitchell)
Ruck;M.Leuenberger M.Kreuzer (J.Giles O.Stephenson)
Forwards; L.Franklin A.Goodes D.Martin J.Brown J.Winderlich G.Rohan A.Sadd( D.pfeiffer C.Hampton)
MONEY LEFT $112/800

 

[joelselwood]

I really wanna pick Grimes, I just know the year I don't pick him he will play every game... for now though I have left him out.

My team...

Goddard, Enright, Birchall, Broughton, Clarke, Ellis, Smedts (Morris, Brown)

Ablett, Murphy, J. Selwood, Deledio, Wingard, Shiel (Kerridge, Mitchell)

Leuenberger, Kreuzer (Giles, Stephensen)

Franklin, Chapman, Martin, Zaharakis, Brown, Pfeiffer, Treloar (Zorko, Walsh)

Salary cap remaining: $1,700

Have tried to allow for DPP by having Kerridge in the mids as a mid/fwd and Deledio as a mid/bck. Not sure if I should be worrying too much about that though and haven't even looked at the byes yet.

I think you're looking for the wrong players when you start picking because of dual possy, pick the best player available to you and not simply because you can swap them around during the year.. Id say keep deledio as a back over one of ellis down and get a cheap midfielder who looks a sure starter (plenty of them), seeing as you've already got gaz murphy and skipper selwood anyway. Pretty good squad nonetheless.

My boys..

BACKS: Goddard, Deledio, Enright, Johncock, Lake, Clarke, Bower (Morris, Brown)

Defence is good with 3 top defenders in Goddard Deledio and Enright but Johncock is unique i wouldn't have him as he is a low scorer Lake is injury prone and might not start the season Clarke and Bower could be good or bad considering where and how there coaches want them to play they are cheap so why not. Wilkes is consided a good chance to play Zac Dawson vacant spot why not look at him for a rookie spot Morris and brown are likely to get games.
mids; you have a real good arange of midfielders having Ablett as prime midfielder is a good start Selwood might lift his average now that his captain so good pick Watson is a player who i can see maybe being a prime midfielder this only time will tell Hayes could be a problem if he breakes down saying that he is a high scorer so if he is over his injury could be a good pick up Clifton Horsey and Gibson good rookie gets clifton will play most games for gws. Someone I rate very highly horsley and gibson are on the rookie list but i think could get games Lee i think might not unless there is an injury to essendon's midfield that saying I think kavanagh is rated higher.
rucks;Sanderlands had injuries last year so having him as your only prime ruckman could be a problem but he is the best ruckman in the league so fingers crossed you dont have to trade him Giles and Stephensen are the must have rookie ruckman this year as for Rowe he's not a walk up start to get a game with Kreuzer Warnock and Hampson in front of him at carlton not sure if he plays or not watch the nab cup to be sure.
Forwards; This is your best line i love your forwards Franklin there saying will play on the wing this year with Roughead and Gunston playing forward
Pavlich scores some high scores when he plays on the wing but is only a matter of time before he has to play the stay at home forward for your sake i hope it's not this year Martin is the player that the people in the know are saying will have a break out year I hoping so too as i have him on my list Sidebottom and Dangerfield are very high priced players and only worth the money if there going to play midfield if not try some cheaper forwards watch there nab cup games to see where there being played Brown is cheap so even if he breaks down you can trade him for a cheap rookie that's likely to play I am hoping he has a good year tho because He's my favourite player Zorko Treloar and Smedts are all fanced rookies that are set to play a lot of games Zorko is injuried at the moment but hoping he'll be back before round 1 Smedts is being consided highly by chris scott to play the vacant role of Ling just hope is not as a tagger
Treloar is a highly rated player but think Hampton could play better football this year but it's up to you who you pick good luck for this year and hope you dont get any injuries

Barlow is missing 2-3 weeks with soreness from his leg injury that is a big worry at this early stage. Zorko has a groin injury or something along those lines and is out for 3-4 going by the brisbane board. so keep a eye on him.

Can't see where Mitchell will fit into the Sydney team in his first season and very few of them play many games in that period up there. Maybe Mcdonald will be a better option at the same price.

I would downgrade Shiels to a rookie as you have Caddy and and Lucas who are in their second and third years and will improve and upgrade Barlow to a Montagna who can ave mid to high 110's and will be alot better with Lenny back in the team freeing him up.

You could then with the extra cash maybe upgrade Ellis to Bower only cost you 30K and have a couple of hundred K left over to upgrade a forward or Sheppard to a Grimes if you want to take the risk.

All in all though, it is a very solid team.
