[Jaymin]

Post your squads here.

 

[worthy]

Don't think so.

 

[Cassius_Clay]

You first.

 

[Jaymin]

Fine I will!

Backs:

Luke Hodge
Chad Cornes
Joel Bowden
Luke McPharlin
Keppler Bradley
Jared Brennan
Ted Richards

Beau Dowler
Grant Birchall

Centres:

Luke Ball
Sam Mitchell
Brent Stanton
Chris Knights

Mark Murphy
Courtenay Dempsey

Rucks:

Cameron Mooney

Dean Brogan
Josh Fraser

Paddy Ryder
Mitchell Clark

Forwards:

Matthew Pavlich
Jon Brown
Dom Cassisi
Alan Didak
Brent Guerra
Jobe Watson
Dan Motlop

Josh Gibson
Dale Thomas


I'm taking the punt on Stanton. Theres no value but i have a feeling he will have a big year. Didak i'm unsure on. Is it worth trading in Didak and Guerra for a substandard forward and another superstar forward?

Any pointers would be useful...i'm looking at you Cassisus C.

 

[Cassius_Clay]

Get rid of Jon Brown and at least 1 of Hodge, Cornes or Bowden.

Hodge has had a poor and interrupted pre season. Even if he averages 90 he'll come down.

Upgrade big Ted and Jobe.

Oh and get rid of Luke Ball. Probably the 20th best centreman.

Replace Ball with who?

 

[bushwood]

go to fan footyfooty and pick a squad, this way you can work out your prices and positions better eg cassisi guerra watson wont be forwards, Biglands is done, retired

 

[bushwood]

Lol Lakey

 

[chrisknights]

get ball out of the team for judd

 

[Lakey91]

Look at the dates mate...

 

[Virgil]

FWIW, Ball averaged 89.9 from 20 games, Judd averaged 100.3 from 19 games.

 

[Lakey91]

Haha yeh, judd smashed it. By the way, Love the sig virgil - this ones pretty good too but:

[Virgil]

Morris is a gun, though Thomas has a habit of doing things like that. Mine's better .

(On an unrelated note, watching that video of Thomas my first impression was "LOL, -3, noob". I think I need to get out more...)

 

[Lakey91]

It was boyd (but yes he is also a gun). Yes yours is better, but i still love that one too!

 

[SELFCONFESDAFLNERD]

Urquhart one is much better IMO, if it was J.Brown running at Thomas' speed (although Dale looked to decelarate in the last couple of steps) and Boyd still made the tackle then it would be better than Urquharts, Thomas is a stick figure....

 

[Lakey91]

LOL yeh, think it shows thomas to be more of an idiot than it shows boyd to be awesome. Still a great tackle though IMO, at an important point of the game.

Will Hodge be a back? Ellis missed most of the pre season and probably miss the start of the year. He is on my radar possibly mid year if he plays a few dud games at the start.

[Cartman121]

Just a couple of my thoughts.

Backline is quite solid, a-bit of an injury worry having both JWS and Malceksi but they could prove to be well worth the risk. The top 5 premiums/keepers are all solid picks with room to improve.

Midfield is very risky. Haselby and Coughlan are both coming back from a full season off and may not be fit enough to play all/majority of games. Will be eased back into it with limited tog to start. Butler still hasn't cemented his spot, injury concern there as well.

Rucks; lock and leave. Ottens isn't my favourite selection, but there is value there.

Forward premiums are very durable and consistent. Two rookies is risky, but there is so much depth there it is perfectly plausible. I don't think Lucas should be considered a keeper at this stage, his role is still unknown. He could play down back which will have an impact on his scoring.

Overall a nice looking team. I just think the midfield needs a-bit of tweaking.
