Your Final Team - No More Trades unless LTI or finals time

[Impromptu]

What's everyone's final team? When I say final team, I mean your team whereby you stop trading unless it's an LTI or in finals time. My final team is:

B: Goddard, Fisher, Enright, Gilbee, Mattner, Carrazzo, Broughton [Dawson, Greenwood]
M: Ablett, Swan, Goodes, Judd, Bartel, Power [Beams, Muston]
R: Fraser, Petrie [Spencer, Jacobs]
F: Goodwin (inj), Pavlich (inj), Deledio, Harvey, Franklin, Fevola, Koschitzke [Jurrah, Macaffer (inj)]

Current Rank : 1468
Target Rank : top 2,000
Highest Rank : 433 (week 2 if that counts..LOL)
Best Trade In : Swan
Worst Trade in : Greenwood? Macaffer? Muston?

 

[abs_of_STEELE]

Goddard, Enright, Fisher, Gilbert, Chad, Grimes, Ellis (Broughton, Cheney)
Ablett, Judd, Sewell, Gibbs, Power, Cooney (Anthony, Muston)
Cox, Sandi (Jacobs, Browne)
Riewoldt, J.Brown, Chappy, Lids, Buddy, Higgins, Didak (Ballantyne, Sidebottom)

That's my team ATM and don't plan to do anything to it.

Currently ranked 12th which is a lot better than I thought that team would be IMO.

 

[Jukes]

Very solid team mate. How many trades do u have left?

 

[picture in me pasta]

My team will be final in approx 2 weeks:

Backs. Goddard, Newman, Adcock, Drummond, Hurn, Hodge, Grimes

Mids. Sewell (C), Cross, Pendlebury, Harvey, Gibbs, Bartel

Rucks. Cox, McIntosh

Forwards. Pavlich, J.Brown, S.Johnson, Franklin, Deledio, Higgins, Fevola

#1 weakness is no Ablett.

Ranked around the 5000 mark.

 

[Judd_Magic]

Heres my team with 4 trades left and $29,000 in the kitty.


B: Goddard, Fisher, Newman, Gilbee, Cornes, Grimes, Broughton [Grima, Rance]
M: Ablett, Dal Santo, Bartel, Judd, Selwood, Rich [Barham, Muston]
R: Cox, Mcintosh [Spencer, Jacobs]
F: Riewoldt, Pavlich, Deledio, J.Brown, Franklin, O'Keefe, Stevie J [M.Brown, Macaffer]


Bolded players are all injured! FFS!


Plan to upgrade Rich during finals if I can but thats just a luxury trade and I am fairly happy keeping him as my 6th midfielder to be honest.

Would like to get one more premium defender but not sure who. Would most likely be Rance as the upgrade target.

Just hoping now that Pavlich, Cox and Cornes come back pretty quickly as I am starting to feel like my team is a bit vunerable.

Would like to bring in Natinui and Anthony this week just so I have bench cover again but with only 4 trades left probably shouldn't. What does everyone else think? All comments appreciated.

You have Grimace covering for Cornes so that's ok. Like me, No back up for Cox which is annoying but alot of people have the Spencer Jacobs setup.Mitchy Brown for Pav.. Not so bad? Hopefully Cornes,Pav and Cox don't get put in the rack for the season

Depending on no injuries in the next couple of weeks, I'd swap Rich for Pendlebury. Will give your team an extra 25-30 pts per week imo and we all know that 1st year players can tire towards the end of the year (even though he is mature bodied).

Wouldn't worry about Cox as Hot Tiges mentioned above, most are in the same boat there.

Anthony imo is a waste of a trade at this stage. I know it's nice to have backup on each line but to waste a trade on a guy you may not use or use as cover for only a couple of weeks, is a waste imo. Cross that bridge when and if the time comes.

Your team is very good - have faith.

Just my thoughts.

With the fwd line smashed with injuries, I'm liking the idea of offloading Warren > Stevie J. Would leave me with stuff all in the bank. But a (Hopeful) high scorer whilst the Pav is out. Another option would be Medhurst plus 50k but not so sure. That 50k could bring me Rich > Pendls maybe.. But who knows.. Hopefully Rich can last the season?? I'm just thinking The Palmer of '09, somethings due to go wrong.Later on Grimes or Broughton could be upgraded but there is no urge as they are doing just fine. Spewing I didn't have a few spare trades to offload Hill, although I suppose he is a handy back up who is at least playing.

So looking at a rough final team with around 2-3 trades left 4-5 rounds remaining

You team is pretty good...concern as you've pointed out is no cover for Rich...

I wouldn't get Anthony trade unless you were doing it for cover AND for a bit extra cash....Anthony price hike is next week right? Why not wait a week... I understand problem with waiting is Anthony could be a great first cover...

Why you doing the upgrade for Rance? Grima has been doing okay right? You are right your backline looks vulnerable, but the Grim Boys (Grimes and Grima) and Broughton have been doing well...Up to you man...

Walker is a donkey...LOL

You must be very happy how Mattner has turned it on in the last month...

I'm annoyed I traded Beams out for cash instead of Robbo. You've got pretty good backup on the pine apart from the usual ruck duds

Can't bring myself to get Johnson in SC, in my opinion he is one player the scoring system doesn't adequately reward.

You think Bartel will ave 110+ for the rest of the year? Rich to Jimmy seems a well timed trade but others could be tempting.

Good luck for the rest of the season, you'll finish strongly.

Kudos to the team for the quality site/pod.

Cheers

Yea Mattner has been in good form of late. Was always hoping he'd finish the year off strong (ran the season home with 9/11 SC tons last year). I just hope he can keep it up *fingers VERY tightly crossed* hehe.

My bench cover is OK without being too strong. Broughton is great but Cheney isn't. Beams is good but Muston hasn't been recently. Brown is reliable but Ballantyne - who knows.

With Johnson - he's basically what I can afford and I've passed on him once this year already (for Brown quite a few rounds ago) and that burnt me pretty badly. But Johnson is my final trade (to come in next round; I'm doing Rich-->Bartel this week) so maybe I'll pick Harvey up if he does well again this week.

As for Jimmy, he's averaged 126 and 116 in the last 2 years and you just have to back that type of scoring history, especially considering he shouldn't be coming off his peak yet. Jimmy also ran the season home VERY strongly last year averaging 132 in the last 9 rounds. As a Geelong supporter I've been watching Jimmy very closely. I was very unhappy with him (supporter-wise) for the majority of the first half of the year (and yet he averaged 110). Jimmy's disposals were nowhere near as effective/influential and he struggled to make an impact in the games. He form was off but he also had a new role to play. But from the recent games I think Jimmy is back. He's breaking the lines again, he's got his overhead contested mark back and his kicking has been much better. I fully expect Bartel to ride out the season with an average of 120.

Cheers for the kudos mate.

 

[IDIG]

Agree on Jimmy, disposal was terrible early. Tbh i dont like him in his new role but thats just me, im thinking it has to do with your backline injuries, Hunt in particular but if he finishes off the year like last ill be happy i grabbed him. If not, well ill be indifferent.

My team with 2 trades left
B Drummond, Gilbee, Goddard, Fisher, Newman, Eliis, Broughton (Petrenko, Pearce)

M Ablett, Bartel, Judd, Power, Cooney, ****en Stanton (Anthony, Muston)

R Cox, HMac (Browne, Jacobs)

F Browndog, Chappy, Lids, Fev, Buddy, Kosi, Sidebottom (Brown, Hogan)

Biggest mistakes were Stanton and not choosing enough rookies early on. I missed pretty much every cow and struggled to bring in premiums so as u can see i got semi-premiums. Last trades are for LTI and if i havent used them up come finals time Roo comes in for Sidebottom.

Going to cop some zeroes this week but i've got an easy run home in my leagues so won't be making trades until finals or an LTI.

Mifielders: Dal Santo, Judd, J. Selwood, Gibbs, J. Corey, Cooney
Rucks: McIntosh, Jolly

3 trades remaining with $32,200 in the bank.
Picked up Didak and Brennan just before their scores skyrocketed so pretty happy with that.

No Ablett however the eveness accross my team still enables me to beat my opponents that have him.

My fingers are crossed like most others that Gilbee, Hodge, Deledio, Bluddy and Fevola can find some consistent form for the remainder of the season.
