I think Giles showed last night that there is no need for 2 premium rucks to start. Cox and Giles straight up with 2 reserves ready to go. Bail Giles off when he's peaked for a premium. Anyway here's my second crack.

Goddard Deledio Shaw Grimes Hargrave Clarke Ellis

Swan Boyd Ablett Selwood Coniglio McDonald

Cox Giles

Chapman Franklin Pavlich Zaharakis Martin Smedts Treloar

Not sold on Zaka yet considering Cloke but I'll have to downgrade Selwood to a cheaper Premium.
 
first crack

DEF- Goddard, Enright, H.Shaw, Suckling, T. Armstrong, P. Davis, Smedts, Blee, Wilkes

MID- M. Murphy, Thomas, Cotchin, Duncan, Conigllio, Tyson, Morabito, Shiel

RUCK- Hmac, Leunberger, Giles, Stephensen

FWD- Franklin, Martin, Fyfe, J.Brown, Zaharakis, Saad, Zorko, Sexton, Weeden.

Remaining cash: 28,400K

Thoughts?

Thought it was time for this teams first public scutiny:

Def: Scotland, Goddard, Enright, H. Shaw, G. Birchall, Grimes, Darley (S. Morris, L. Brown)
Mids: Pendles, Boyd, Ablett, Clifton, Horsley, McDonald (D. Shiel, T. Mitchell)
Rucks: Cox, Giles (Stephensen, Derickx)
Fwds: Franklin, Pavlich, Zahkarakis, Martin, Sidebottom, Pfieffer, Zorko (A. Treolar, T. Walsh)

Main concerns were:
Is this the right team structure, not too heavily based on rookies, esp. GWS? and,
Are the non-rookies selections good a.k.a overrating someone and missing out on a cheaper option with same points and longterm value?
Cheers :)

Your team is quite different to most, not in regards to which premium players you picked but rather the structure across the positions going with a 6/3/1/5 premo set-up. Not sure this is the year to load up on 6 premiums in def TBH with quite a few value for money lower to mid-price options available and paying overs for most of the the premo defs purely based on the volatile scoring nature of def players.

Starting with only 3 premiums the mids might not be enough. Also 4 GWS rookies in your mids is way too many IMHO.

I'd be more concerned about having only 5 mids. ;)

Yep,

Zorko currently out injured....club has said he will be right for round one, but I'd be skeptical....

Structure seems fine but I don't like the fact that you've spent so much on your rucks. Try downgrading one of Cox/Sandilands into Leuenberger/Mumford. In my team, I have Leuey and Mumford and that's saved me a fair bit of dosh.

Would love some thoughts on this team:

DEF: Goddard, Deledio, Enright, Shaw, Broughton, Grimes, Darley (Morris, Wilkes)
MID: Swan, Pendlebury, Ablett, Clifton, Miles, Shiel (Luke Brown, Sexton)
RUC: Goldstein, Giles (Stephensen, Rowe)
FWD: Franklin, Goodes, N Riewoldt, Martin, Zaharakis, Porplyzia, Treloar (Zorko, Hampton)

Remaining Salary: $16,600

Don't worry too much about the names of the rookies, they will be changed through the preseason. More concerned with the structure of the team rather than the names at this stage.

I am aware there are a few risks there but am happy to take a few to try and really propel myself up the rankings and in my leagues. It's just a question of which risks are worth taking, and which are not.

Not too pleased with the lack of salary remaining (I usually like to start the year with 50-100k spare) but not adverse to trying something different.

What do people think?

I like this team, the ruck setup you have allows the money to be spent elsewhere which I am considering myself. I would probably have another premium midfielder in exchange for a defender maybe? But that's a very minor criticism, good work :thumbsu:

Yeah i quite like the structure of that, probably the most balanced i've seen without taking Byes in to account.

Goldstein a feel might be one person i'd change, but that's being picky - i did have Goldy last year and he was great, but not so sure this year.
 
Can someone critique my team.

B: Shaw, Deledio, Suckling, Fisher, Duffield, Webberly, Smedts, ( Harvey, Townsend)

Pendlebury, Murphy, Boyd, Hayes, Reid, Kavanagh (Stevens, Crozier)

Leuenberger, Giles (Derickx, Pattison)

Franklin, Fyfe, Robinson, Marting, Sidebottom, Varcoe, Saad (Weedon, Ah Chee)

Interesting structure. You've really loaded up in the backs, where most people seem to be selecting more value picks.

Only really worry would be the rucks. If you're going to take the risk of Giles as R2, I think you need a no-risk selection as R1. Personally, I don't know if Goldstein is the best pick as there's obviously some uncertainty about how he and Hmac are going to split their time in the ruck. He had a great year last year, but will it continue with less time on the ball? I prefer the look of Jacobs, Mumford or McEvoy, who essentially don't have to share ruck time with anyone else.

Then there are a few rookies with injury clouds over them: Shiel, Treloar, Zorko, Rowe. Keep an eye on their progress.

dont trust sandi have a look at burger, mcevoy and use the cash to get another ruck instead of kruzer also clifton not so sure on him there are players 20k cheaper that will avg as much
 
backs: shaw gram duffman grimes hargrave clarke ellis
emg: smedts bugg


mids: pendls mitchell murphy swallow caddy mcdonald
emg: zorko shiel

ruck: mcevoy hamc
emg: giles stephensen

fwd: chappy buddy fyfe/pav martin brown winderlich treloar
emg: weedon sexton

any thought bad good will be great
cheers
 
-I'm personally not a fan of Gram, but if you think he's worth it, go for it.

-I can't imagine Caddy playing much better than Conoglio this season so i'd save the 70 odd k if i were you

-I too had Hmac but decided against it, once again, i think you'd be better off having a rookie like giles in there if you want to save the coin, or you could use the money saved by getting coniglio into upgrading Hmac.

FWD line looks ok, Brown is a risk which i have also been tempted by, as was Winderlich for a while but i ended up flicking him.


My 3rd attempt is in, here goes:

DEF: Goddard, Shaw, Deledio, J. Grimes, R. Hargrave, Ellis, Clarke (Smedts, Wilkes)

MID: Ablett, Pendles, S. Thompson, Murphy, Coniglio, Shiel (D. Smith, K. Horsley)

RUCK: Mumford, Kreuzer (Giles, Stephenson)

FWD: J. Brown, Franklin, Sidebottom, Martin, Goodes, Pfieffer, Treloar (T. Walsh, S. Rowe)


I've stuffed around with this team so much, think i've over-thunk it :\
 
I've gone with a strange/interesting approach to win league games. My entire team is under the age of 25 as of January 2012 to utilise young guns, 'mature age' recruits and boom 2nd and 3rd year players. Still preliminary until the later rounds of NAB Cup, Rookie Elevations and Round 1 teams

Back: Suckling, Birchall, Heppell, Grimes, Clarke, Ellis, Spurr (Morris, Sierakowski)
Mid: Pendlebury, Selwood, Shiels, Redden, Hartlett, Cognilio (Pfeiffer, Brown)
Ruc: Leuenberger, Goldstein (Giles, J. Redden)
FWD: Franklin, Fyfe, Martin, Gray, Saad, Zorko, Dickson (T. Walsh, Treloar)

Bank: $40,400.

Still some changes to be made and would like a mid/def link, but otherwise should pump out a decent score.
 
Interesting theory, kinda like money ball but with age, lol...Considering that is your criteria i'm really surprised you don't have Sidebottom or beams (if not, both). Seeing as your trying to be different, I reckon I would get rid of pendles all together, put in sidebottom into your mids to be different and then you can spend the cash elsewhere, you'd save 150k and you'd have a DPP to link with martin, fyfe etc.
I only suggest that because of your approach, may not be the best idea overall, though.
 
He's my first crack at it:

Think Hams will lock in Lecras' role and if does will push into mid too.
Never had Masten in my team before but this year will hold down a
more regular mid spot and get rid of vest. Gave Giles a starting gig to
free up some $$$ and allow me to pick captain Cox without breaking
the budget. Backline looks pretty solid, expecting Yarran to step up after
1st yr down back. Not sure bout Smedts though? Went for alot of mid
hybrids up forward, hoping to pick up some cheap points there.
What do you guys think?
