Yeah he's in ripping shape and should play all year, think people may have been weary as he only averaged 15 possessions last year and is already 270k without really proving himself.

Great team, but your forward line is weak as mate.
Watts wont play either.

What are everyones thoughts on Embley? Im thinking about him or Carrazzo ATM, and Embley isn't as popular player so he could turn into a good unique pick...
I dont like to post my whole team, so i'll post the most disapointing position, my midfield.
Too young in my opinion, any thoughts would be appriciated
Scott Pendlebree (the most expensive player in my midfield, which is a bit of a disapointment, but I seriously think he could step up alot this year)
Nathan vanBerlo (again, I think he will be another player that steps up.)
Travis Boak (been training very well, and almost got him last year.)
Paul Haselby (i'm not too keen on getting him..)
Daniel Rich (obvious reasons)
Paddy Dangerfield (my 2nd fav player, and I think he will play all 22 games, even thought Craigy has said he hasnt been training as well as he should be.)
Dayne Beams (if he has a good NAB Cup, hes a lockin to have on my bench.)
Jason Davenport (probably going to get alot of games this season.)
I have $49,400 left in the bank, and im thinking of downgrading Yarran (starting) in my forwards to Walker which will give me an extra 40k and I could upgrade some players?
Also my ruck bench is Hampson and Jake Spencer, so I could make that cheaper but getting two young players (83k).

B: Gram, Adcock, Cornes, Birchall, Myers, Malceski, Goddard - Rance, Suban
M: Van Berlo, Foley, Judd, Rich, Hasleby, Boak - Dangerfield, Beams
R: Cox, Fraser - Currie, Trengrove
F: Franklin, Pavlich, Deledio, Higgins, Lucas, Yarran, Sidebottom - Gumbleton, Ballantyne
Thoughts? May be a bit weak in the forward line...

Nah mate i like your forward line
Need to have a deep look at your mids though.....
who don't you like? I do lack a premium.
I think you need to start with one premium aka Bartel/ Kornes, you have to many midprices.
I dont like foley, more of a burst player. I think maybe uprgae Judd to Kornes/Bartel and downgrade Foley to someone a bit cheaper giving you a better structure
Juddyis god:
The general consensus, is that to be competitive in DT, you need to have the midfielders of your final team, all averaging 90+ as a minimum.
When you look at yours, how many of tuck, foley, judd, boa, hasleby and rich do you see as fitting this requirement at the season end?
Foley struggles ALOT with tags - watch in preseason to see if deledio or cousins now gets nunber one tag - if they relieve him of a tag, then yes, he could be a great pickup.
Judd - when he plays inside, he only averages around 85 (like he has in 4 of the last 5 seasons). If judd gets moved outside though (with maybe someone like murphy taking his place inside), then again, he could be a great selection. However, this is no certainty.
Boak - there is a crowded port MF. Will he be able to improve his numbers by 10ppg?
So for me, there is alot of uncertainty about a few of your midfielders. Watch the nab cup and see if some of these questions can be answered - its all about research: checking past performance on fanfooty, reading training reports on the team boards, watch past games and the NAB cup...
I think when selecting a midfield, you need at least one durable and consistent premium who has been proven over the long term (kane, swan...). Just my thoughts though.

Stokes-Selwood-Prismall
Club Legend
Backs: Goddard, Chornes, Hodge, Birchall, Adcock, Malceski, Suban... Rance/Petrenko
Mids: Cross, Hayes, Selwood, Gablett, Rich, Dangerfield .... Davenport Sidebottom
Rucks: Cox Kruezer.... Currie, Pyke
Forwards: Harvey, Chapman, R Murphy, O'Keefe, Lucas, Hentschel, Hogan... Ballantyne, walker
Thoughts? Im not keen on having kruezer in the side.
Im steering clear of the big forwards like reivoldt and brown at those ridiculous prices as im sure they will fall quite quickly.

Embley is on my radar, but there are some problems injury wise, so keep an eye out. He may also be slightly too pricey for my liking and has durability issues. Carrazzo, I'm not sure of his role next year, hence this makes me worried about his selection. I like to have a good knowledge of the players role in the team before selecting them.
Pendlebree or Pendlebury - He has a high SD and might not be the best value going around. Managed to average 76 from rounds 12-17 (Perfect upgrade moment). Considering he is your most expensive midfielder, you may want to consider making him a more reliable captain option.
I am assuming that if Pendlebury is your most expensive player in the midfield that you should have Cox and another good captain option in maybe the forward line?
Dangerfield, I would be seriously watching the NAB cup, Craig had some really harsh words to say about his training efforts. Considering the coach rates this rather highly, I would be very worried that a drop in effort will see Dangerfield back in the 2's (Not something you want from a starting player).
Considering I think you almost have the top 3 forwards, I would not say it is your weak link.
Thanks mate - good advice
I agree i need a premium. Bit too close to the salary cao though to upgrade Judd. Can't see many good players to downgrade Foley to that will give me a good money boost.
what are peoples thought on Shane Edwards as a starter? too risky?
Maybe just do the trick of downgrading one premium to a slightly cheaper premium and upgrading a borderline premium to a certain premium.
Franklin -> S Johnson
Foley -> Swan
or
Franklin -> Brennan
Pavlich -> S Johnson
Foley -> Swan
Judd -> Cornes
So many combinations, this is why making mutliple teams and attempting different combinations is important. If you document all these combinations then you will start to get a trend of which players appear in most of your teams.
This is why making multiple *plan teams* is important, don't go making multiple teams in the real thing

You seem like you aren't actually disappointed with the young players you selected, but rather the fact that you haven't been able to fit in another older and more established premium. I think if you like your three top selections, then keep them, and worry about the top end players at a later date.
Highlighted your comments on Haselby. Why is he in your team if you aren't keen on him? I honestly don't think he represents teh value a lot of people seem to think he does. I'm not keen on him, and he's not in my side at all. There are probably three or four cheaper midfielders who I'd rather have than Haselby, so I doubt he'll end up in my starting squad.
If you're forced to pick a player you don't want, you probably need to re-jig the team.
If he had cox, and say deledio in the FWs, then i think his captain options would be OK early. Not fantastic considering cox's records against his first 6-8 teams, but enough to get a solid captains average.

Thanks so much mate, great work.
Yeah I have Cox and also in the forward line I have options like Deledio and Harvey.
I might think of upgrading Pendles, and yeah I will watch Danger. I personally think he will get alot of games though.
Thanks again
Yeah totally agree on the Haselby thing and did re-jig the team which has now alowed me to get a player around the 420k cap?
If I do that I only have about 25k left though.
I am thinking maybe Stanton?
Yeah I do have Lids and Cox, so I think I would go alright with the captain options.
Also have Cornes in the backs which is another option.
Thanks everyone

Forward line is pretty good, but if you downgrade one of them you may be able to upgrade one of Foley/Judd.
Pretty good team though
Edit - just saw the best post which will help you

My very early squad is...
Backs: Cornes, Goddard, S Fisher, Adcock, Newman, Malceski, JW Smith (Suban, Petrenko)
Mids: Ablett, Bartel, Kornes, Selwood, Coughlan, Rich (Anthony, Beams)
Rucks: Cox, McIntosh (Currie, Orreal)
Fwd: Pavlich, Deledio, Lucas, Higgins, Veszpremi, Yarran, Gumbleton (Ballantyne, M Brown)
Basically... I've gone for a few underpriced players coming off injury especially in the forward line, and then JWS, HMac and Coughs in other positions. The remainder of my backline I see as keepers, and I've invested a bit in the midfield. Looking to leave the rucks as is, pending injury.
What do people think of the strategy I have gone with? Too many premiums in the midfield to start with?

I hate you because it's almost exactly my team. 5/6 same premium backmen... 3/4 same premium mids.. Same Premium forwards... same structure all over the park.
also a very preliminary squad, as im guessing is everyones and will change many times before round 1. but heres my team.
Backs: Mackie, Goddard, C.Cornes, Newman, Adcock, Malceski, Hill, (Suban, Petrenko)
Mids: Kornes, M. Murphy, Gibbs, Van Berlo, Rich, Dangerfield, (Sidebottom, Swift)
Rucks: Cox, McIntosh (Vickery, Currie)
Fwds: Deledio, S. Johnson, J. Brown, D. Thomas, Higgins, Yarran, M. Brown, (Gumbleton, Ballantyne)
some of the rookie spots are still up for grabs depending on preseason form and who's named.
i think i might have too many rookies/cheapies starting on the field.
thoughts?

Only problem is my emergencies are all 75k rookies that most likely wont play, so I'll probably down grade Franklin to Fevola and upgrade them to young 1st rounders.
