Backs; Looks good, is Myers a walk up start for Essendon I don't really know to be honest.

Centers; I think you should downgrade either Corey or Selwood to get your 2nd ruck in order and possibly upgrade Morton to another mid ranged player so you have a 3 premiums, 2 mids and 1 rookie through the midfield going.

Rucks; If you can be looking to upgrade Leuenberger.

Forwards; Reiwoldt and Pav are good choices both should have great years again. Gamble is a nice choice, hopefully he becomes a regular at Geelong as he has a bit to offer. I had him last season and he was good so hopefully an improvement this year. Yarran got injuried in the NAB Cup so maybe look at other options there.

I also have $98,400 in the bank. Can anyone give me some advice, I'm not 100% sure of the forward line? Please tell me your thoughts.

Anyone else want to give me your thoughts? Thanks Kangas Div for the advice already, I might take Ottens into consideration.

I definately need to upgrade leuenberger, whether i downgrade Ablett to Bartel, whick would leave me around 100k to upgrade leuenberger. I'm pretty sure Myers will have a spot in Essendon's 22, so im happy with him. Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated.

 

[Bender571]

My 332nd attempt at a team, lol.

Backs: Gilbee, C.Cornes, Drummond, M.Clarke, Houlihan, Raines, Frawley
EM: Schoenmakers, Mckernan
Mids: Ablett, Judd, Salopek, Kerr, Lockyer, S.Hill
EM: Ziebell, Beams
Rucks: Hille, Kreuzer
EM: Sellar, Roughead
Fwds: Pavlich, O'Keefe, Deledio, Lucas, Skipworth, Higgins, Henschel
EM: J.Grant, Gumbleton

Only probs I'm having at the moment are with Lucas, 2nd ruck and the cheap backs.

Thought please.

If you're looking for a cheap back just move Hill out of your mids and replace him with Rich or move Ziebell into your 22.

You could also look at moving Ziebell into your forward line so you get more rookie mids in your team because they seem to score better than rookie forwards

Anyway heres my team for now

Backs: Goddard, S. Fisher, C Newman, J Adcock, N Malceski, R Houlihan, Raines
EM: Hill, Rance
Mids: Judd, Pendlebury, Kerr, C Cornes, Hasleby, Rich
EM: Dangerfield, M Robinson
Rucks: Cox, McIntosh
EM: Currie, Sellar
Fwds: Pavlich, O'Keefe, Deledio, Lucas, Higgins, Skipworth, Ziebell
EM: Ballantyne, Mitch Brown

Could use some help picking my rookies

EDIT: I'm also look at dropping a defender and putting S Hill into the 22 and getting another 94K rookie for the bench and then spreading the cash around on upgrade. Who should I look at dropping from my defenders?

 

[Pissi123]

Backs - Goddard, Newman, C Cornes, Malceski, Houlihan, Raines, S Hill (Rance, Suban)

Midfield - Bartel, Judd, Cross, Pendlebury, Hasleby, Rich (Beams, Robinson)

Rucks - Cox, Ottens (J White, Currie)

Forward - Riewoldt, Pavlich, Deledio, Lucas, Higgins, Skipworth, Ziebell (Gumbleton, Ballantyne)

Still have $27,500 left, any help would be great.

 

[staedtler]

Backs; Nice backline there, Scotland is different but I think he is a good player and obviously you do too so nice choice, he dominated toward the end of last season so hopefully he keeps his form going. Bock was fantastic last year so hopefully he can maintain his form, I wouldn't mind him in my team at some stage this year.

Centers; I'd get rid of Dalziell, he is very expensive going up $400k in his 7 games last season. I would be looking for someone else who has been around a few seasons.

Rucks; Different choice in the reserves, will Vickery get many games? Hille will hopefully maintain his form and I have McIntosh so I as well as you hope he can get back his 07 form.

Forwards; Nice set up except Veszprem, a few people through the SC forum have hinted he might get limited game time so maybe go after Skipworth, should get 22 games and is 50k + cheaper.


And '1st Time SC' I don't think Cox will drop off to much this year, dominated last year on one leg so this year he should do real well. Clearly the best ruck in the league and SC.

Thanks for the input. But i still think that Dalziell is great value, although i know alot a people dont. He does cost what seems like a ridiculous amount for only playing 7 games ($494 500). But he continues to dominate possesions. He will get a ton of touches and should easily average well above 25 poss throughout the year, and has solidified his position in the team. And there is NO chance he will get tagged, will luke power and simon black also in the team.
Also ive chosen Vickery really coz there are no quality rookies in the ruck. And i think vickery will get the most game of anyone at his price.
And im confident that veszpremi can play well. He got a taste at the end of last year and excited. He should impress this year.

 

[staedtler]

My team:

B: Goddard, Scotland, Bock, C. Cornes, Adcock, Raines, Hill
(Rance, Suban)
M: Judd, Pendlebury, S. Thompson, Dalziell, T. Tuck, Rich
(Swift, Robinson)
R: Hille, McIntosh
(Vickery, Meesen)
F: Pavlich, R. O'Keefe, Deledio, D. Thomas, Veszpremi, Higgins, Ziebell
(Sidebottom, Heyne)

Can you see any improvements?

Get rid of Adcock, still not convinced about him.

No Ablett, Bartel, Harvey and starting Kerr Biggie? Your team looks different to what I imagined it to. But you know what you are doing and have the runs on the board so I trust in your selections mate.

Did Jed's 90 last night, and a 70 in the second quarter no say anything to you

 

[mattys123]

Could use some help picking my rookies

The 4 rookies everyone should have are Rich, Ziebell, Hill and for 94k, Beams.

Mick Malthouse has made a comment that Beams has the body of a 24 yo, and he showed the other night his skills are up to league standard.

For a "real" rookie, I was thinking DeBoer from Freo, looked good in the NAB Cup match, and you'd think he'd be the 1st one elevated when a LTI occurs.

One more from a pies insider, Brad Dick, 94k, coming off a knee reco, but by round 4-5 will be a regular in the senior team, and there have been big wraps on him for 3 years now.

Fair point mate but everyone is saying the same thing about Raines.

Once Black, etc come back then Addock won't have so much midfield time.

Just have my doubts about him that's all. Each to their own though, no right or wrong thoughts as its too early in the season to tell.

 

[s1bbald]

Getting very close to a finished product now. What does everyone think?

B: Goddard, Fisher, Gilbee, C Cornes, Houlihan, Raines, Hill (Petrenko, Suban)
M: Judd, Cross, Selwood, Gibbs, Swallow, Rich (Beams, Robinson)
R: Cox, Clark (White, Currie)
F: Pavlich, Deledio, Brown, Brennan, J Riewoldt, Higgins, Ziebell (Grant, M Brown)
With $30,300 left in the bank.

1. Absolutely love the backline, barring injury, I daresay this won't be touched before Round 1.
2. Midfield - should I have both Selwood and Gibbs, bit of a risk. Also, are there better options than Swallow out there?
3. Rucks - what are people's opinions on Mitch Clark. I obviously like the guy. Two sydney bench players, thoughts there?
4. Brennan and Riewoldt get the ? here, no risk, no reward though.

But he didn't play midfield Mostly HB link work and surging runs into the midfield

backline is great.
midfield im thought about swallow but just dont seeing him taking that next big step this yr.. perhaps Travis tuck he has shone so far this yr and knows how to get it himself.
perhaps downgrade gibbs or selwood (as hard as that is to say)
for a foley who is sure to get the no 2 tagger and will relish this..
or maybe knights from adelaide. have been watching him closely for a while now and he is ready..
like the forward line especially riewolt and higgins who are sure to increase value. my only suggestion would be stevie j for brown and you'll get an extra 70k
but thats me
