Why would you make any trades based on this weeks scores? Correct me if i'm wrong but players values only go by a rolling 3 week average so if you have a player that has stunk it up this week, (Yarran), it only going to hurt his value for 1 week.

Nothing wrong with the players you have chosen. I think youor backline is too weak with 3 staring rookies and I would look at upgrading 1 of them with your remaining cash. Feedback on my team would be greatly appreciated. Backs: Goddard; Gibbs; Deledio; Broughton; Grimes; Wood; Heppell...

Thanks, I'll just copy this since it's the winning team then. :thumbsu: Though i might change Hempell for Heppell which will give me the winning team. ;)

Fair bit of work ahead of you yet i think. 1. Upgrade R MUrphy in your defense to a better premium because you have 2 dogs in your defense and personally I don't think he represents much value. 2. In your mids take out Chapman and trade for someone like Cross or a player in a similar...

Sounds remarkably similar to my team! :)

I agree. I feel you have 2 issues with your rucks. Firstly they are too weak. If i were to have Fraser as a second ruck then I would want some decent bench back upo as he tends to have injury issues. Secondly I imagine Smith is Zac Smith from the Gold Coast. This gives you 2 Gold Coast rucks...

$20,200 remaining. Would love to have $50,000 or thereabouts but am worried that it is more than likely to go the other way by the time the season starts

You need to get rid of 2 of your Collingwood mids as a start.

Re: Rookies on the field I have 3. Heppell - DEF Swallow - MID Prestia - FWD I would expect that all 3 should rather consistently hold their spot in their team barring injury. I would think if you are going to start a rookie they would need to be best 22 without doubt because you don't...

Hi all Any thoughts on this team? DEF: B. Goddard, B. Gibbs, B. Deledio, G. Broughton, J. Gram, A. Otten, D. Heppell (B. Jacobs, J. Toy, N. Duigan) MID: S. Pendlebury, R. Griffen, B. Sewell, J. Kennedy, N. Foley, D. Swallow (A. Gaff, D. Harris, M. Wallis) RUC: A. Sandilands, D. Jolly (D...

Firstly, not sure if you have much cash to play with? Defense looks pretty strong. Midfield is also obviously very strong. Don't worry at all about having Harris. A mature bodied midfielder will get plenty of games with GC this year and tackles all day long. I think Swallow is going to have...

I call BS. alt/ printscreen

I didn't really give any attention to DPP's last year and have always tried to minimise the amount of money spent on bench players at the start of the year. So far i've been caught out a bit every year. Picking the wrong rookies purely because they are cheap and named for round 1 is...

I think Essendon is being overrated by many thus far.

Why are so many people putting Daw in their teams? I honestly can't see him playing this year unless two of McIntosh, Goldstein and Petrie go down at the same time. Even then he is no certainty. He's more of a project player and whilst he's got the body he needs more experience. Personally...

Re: 2011 Fixture Strategy My current thoughts are that I will try and have 2 players from each team or perhaps 3 at most from 1 or 2 teams. I want to try to avoid having players from the same team in the same position. eg Swan and Pendles as mids from Collingwood. I am also going to pay...

With a score of 1902, I only dropped 200 spots in my ranking to 2187. Maybe par score would be somewhere around 1900 - 1950?

1730 with only Bartel, Enright, Kelly and Barlow. :thumbsd: What a crap week. Roo and Danger the two injured. O'Keefe as Captain. Should have known Harvey would bounce back. :(

Nice even team and can't really find any real need for changes. Bench also looks pretty strong provided they all get a run. I would really appreciate some feedback on this team: Backs: B.Goddard; C.Enright; J.Kelly; L.Hodge; H.Shaw; H. O'Brien, T.Kennelly (M.Maguire; B.Nason) Mids...

Covvy, they way I approach my initial team is that I need 15 keepers that I am happy to hold on to for the whole season, (injury permitting) and I can be confident that they will deliver me a high average by the end of the season. You only have 20 trades and it is important to try and come up...

Firstly I'm not sure how much money you have to spend? Backs: Look a little weak. I would look at upgrading Mitch Brown to another premium. Personally I'm not sold on Gilbee at this stage. Midfield: Some interesting choices. Goddard, Pavlich and Ladson can all be picked in other positions. I...

This year I pre-planned how I was going to use my 20 trades. Started the season with 16 of 22 players who I was happy to consider keepers. This meant that 6 trades are put aside for upgrading the rest of my team. To upgrade my 6 value/ rookie players to guns, 8 trades were set aside to...

Anyone have any ideas why smothering would not be incuded in the scoring structure? I know that they don't occur in great numbers in a game but they can be very important as they can prevent a kick from the opposition travelling 50 meters up the ground or even prevent a shot on goal. Surely...
