So obviously eventually we want a side full of premiums in the top echelons of their position, banging out big scores and beating our oponents. How many "keepers" do you think you have locked away, who are you looking to add and how long do you think it will take you to get there?

Forwards
Current
S. Johnson (116) N. Riewoldt (110) T. Rockliff (103) D. Martin (103) M. Stokes (96) T. Cloke (96) D. Cox (96) C. Rioli (94) J. Westoff (93) J. Bartell (92) J. Kennedy (91)
Predicted To Continue To Be Top 12 FWD's
1. S. Johnson
2. N. Riewoldt
3. T. Rockliff
4. D. Martin
5. M. Stokes
6. T. Cloke
7. D. Cox
8. C. Rioli
9. J. Bartel
10. J. Kennedy
11. D. Thomas
12. L. Franklin

I'm putting a cross through Cox because he's obviously better placed in the ruck and Cyril because he's out for a fair while atm, shouldn't come into plans till later, i havent included T. Lynch who is up there atm but only played 3 games and i've added D. Thomas and L. Franklin because surely, surely they will deliver at some stage. Also Westoff has been dropped because he is a spud.
Others of note are:
Chapman, Robinson, Roughead, Lewis who could possibly sneak into calculations, but in reality you want the top 6 so you shouldn't really be having more than one of the 6-12 ranked types anyway.
I think it's safe to say the red are definitely in the top 6 at this stage, they're definite locks and keepers for the year and you cna pick your favourite other or maybe two others to fixture in your FWD 6 planning.

Midfielders
Current
Cornes (118) Swan (116) Ablett (115) Selwood (112) Stanton (110) Pendlebury (107) Swallow (105) Boak (105) Mitchell (104) Masten (102) Jack (101) Griffen (101) Murphy (100)
Predicted To Continue To Be Top 15 Midfielders
1. Cornes
2. Swan
3. Ablett
4. S. Selwood
5. Stanton
6. Pendles
7. Swallow
8. Boak
9. Mitchel
10. Jack
11. Griffen
12. Murphy
13. Watson
14. Cotchin
15. Boyd/Jelwood/Dangerfield??

The reds are again definite locks which should definitely be in every side, I don't know if i can trust Cornes or Stanton at this stage, but I think realistically a team with those big 3, plus Scooter at this stage then 4 others would still be classified as a locked and loaded team.

Defenders
Current
Ibbotson (111wot?) Goddard (101) Hanley (101) Birchall (98) Heppell (97) Hibberd (92) mcKenzie (91??) Gibbs (90) Shaw (88) Waters (87) Scotland (87)
Predicted To Continue To Be Top 10 Defenders
There are less defenders playing weel than fwd's so i've limited it to ten rather than 12, these surely have to be looked to lock in soon.
1. Goddard
2. Hanley
3. Birchall
4. Heppell
5. Hibberd
6. Gibbs
7. Scotland
8. Shaw
9. Waters
10. Hartlett?? i can dream. Ellis??

I'm happy to lock away 5 players as being definites in any sides defence this season. The sixth spot is still up for grabs and even having four out of those five is still feasible at this stage. Any of those other four or five could fill that spot at the end of the season but i'd be targetting those five if you haven't got them already.

And who really cares about Rucks ?? Cox and Leuy lock em away for the foreseeable future.


So how far away is your side from being complete, which former premiums do you have which will need to be eventually cut and how many do you already have locked away??

dt final team planning..png

Will definitely be aiming to lock in

Stevie J and Hanley for absolute sure over the next three weeks, and then will either pick up Cotchin for cheapsies or splash out and get Scooter selwood.

For Rnd 9
Get Cotchin!!
For Rnd 10
Get Hanley!!
For Rnd 11
Get Scooter
For Rnd 12
Get Stevie J!!
For Rnd 13
Get Swallow/Cornes/Jack
For Rnd 14
Get Gibbs!!


Then start sideways trading the "premiums" who are in fact not premiums.
Hartlett -> Heppell
Zorko -> Martin

And Maybe Finally
Kennedy -> Riewoldt
Leunberger -> Kreuzer

Final team should hopeffffuly be

DEF: Goddard, Birchall, Scotland || Hanley, Heppell, Gibbs
MID: Swan, Ablett, Pendles, Mitchell, Murphy, || Scooter, Cotchin, Cornes
RUC: Cox || Kreuzer
FWD: Rockliff, Bartel, Thomas || Stevie J, Dusty, Riewoldt


So my side should be almost complete by around Round 16/17 fuuuark no wonder my side is so cap, there are probably a lot of teams out htere only 4 or 5 weeks away from being complete.
 
Current Lineup:
DEF: Goddard. Birchall. Hartlett. Goodes. Vlastuin. Laird. (Sierakowski. Frost)
MID: Swan. Ablett. Pendlebury. Mitchell. Watson. Fyfe. JP.Kennedy. O'Meara. (Evans. Neade.)
RUC: Cox. Leuenberger. (Blicavs. Daw.)
FWD: Rockliff. Martin. Bartel. D.Thomas. JJ.Kennedy. Mayes. (Macaffer. Rowe.)

Bold - Locked
The rest are open to trade
Should everything go to plan (no injuries/suspensions) I've got the bank to go..

RD 9
O'Meara -> Murphy
Mayes -> Franklin


From then onward (in no particular order)
  • Max out rookie backs
  • Downgrade reserve rookies
  • Bring in Heppell, Gibbs and most in form defender of Shaw, Scotland, Hanley etc
  • Bartel, JJ.Kennedy -> Riewoldt, Stevie J
  • Depending on form of all 3 players but JPK/Fyfe - Cotchin

Keeping my wishlist simple at the moment

Defender:
Gibbs
Shaw

Mid:
Cotchin
Murphy

Fwd:
They are a fickle bunch. So currently no idea outside of watching players BE's
 
I will have 5 upgrades left after this round so my wishlist is as follows:

DEF: Gibbs, Hanley

MID: Pendlebury, Watson

(also have Moloney and will look to turn him into a super premo, unless he keeps scoring like last week)

FWD: Franklin/Riewoldt/Martin
