Gilbee
Adcock

Drummond
Houli
Raines
Hill

Petrenko
Suban

Really thought my backline tactics this season were gonig to come up trumps...No real expensive players, just 6 good, solid players who generally get a decent amount of the ball, and then hill.
But its pretty much gone to shit! and left my in trouble for a few weeks

Looks like a very low-risk backline.

 

[DonMania#5]

What did you expect when you have 4 players that are returning from injury or are injury prone..

 

[HowBoutThemDoggies]

well it should be, if hill could get over 20 and malceski and adcock could average over 60..early days I guess, but a concern non the less

 

[abs_of_STEELE]

Very risky backline.

 

[Kid A]

I think you just went too cheap in that backline.

 

[CrozaN]

No Premiums?

 

[Virgil]

My backline was one point from averaging 90 this week. Fairly happy with that.

Adcocks averaging 69. Hardly worst thing ever - could be better, but i wouldnnt be complaining yet.

Gilbee and Drummond.

 

[Schulzenfest]

According to Fanfooty Adcock's averaging 72. IIRC Fanfooty and not the AFL site was right last week.

 

[Lakey91]

That was just going by memory, so im sure thats correct

I am loving my backline:

Chad (solid scores)
Hodge (down on normal output - will improve)
Fisher (quiet first week, big 2nd)
Goddard (opposite to fisher)
Lockyer (great scores so far)
Adcock (hoping he is a keeper but will be upgraded if necessary)
Petrenko (doing well... should play at least the next month or so and can rotate with Suban and Broughton)

Subs:
Suban
Broughton

Ranked 121 with heaps of improvement there. So glad no Raines and Hill, didn't fall into the trap and loving it

Your backline is so solid I would just about say you overspent.

I am ranked 121 as well but went with Chad, P Burgs, Goddard, Adcock, Houlihan, Raines, Hill, Petrenko, Broughton.

Probably look to offload Hill or Raines, happy with the others.

 

[cuzz is back]

My back line is lockyer, gilbee, c.cornes, drummond, goddard, peterenko, hill

Emg:cheney, broughton

I traded raines for cheney and i mite trade hill for maybe s.hurn

Following last year I went with the plan to have a very solid backline that will require 1-2 upgrades only. This has work out great for me because so far Higgins, Houlihan and Skipworth are scoring well in my forward line and making me heaps of cash. I have to upgrade 7-8 players leaving me with 4-6 trades for injuries, possibly more if someone like Houlihan or Higgins can rise enough to be a straight swap to a premium that is falling in price (e.g. riewoldt).

So far my strategy is working out and with some luck see myself having a good season.
