Post your team thread V.2

[Skeptic]

I mildly disagree with most of the things you said here, but the Tippett one is rubbish. He was useless apart from filling in two games and getting 40.

In one response you say take out Ziebell and the next you say put him in. So, which is it?

I guess we'll agree to disagree of Tippett. Last year he had a few scores in the 80s and was decent for a bargain priced forward. He's had another preseason and should only improve (too pricey for me this year but better Hentschell).

As for Ziebell, maybe i haven't made myself clear but what I'm saying is he shouldn't be a starting player. He represents good value for the bench.
Sunday red was indicating he was unsure if he should go for Ziebell or Yarran as his final bench player and I suggested Jack as he's cheaper.
Matt has Ziebell starting which I don't think is a good idea.
Clear?



PS if ne1 has any advice for my team which has been posted twice in the last 2 threads and glossed over by queue jumpers, i'd appreciate that

My team

: Goddard, C. Cornes, S. Fisher, Shaw, Grimes, Malceski, Raines (Hill, Dawson)

C: K. Cornes, Kerr, Selwood, Foley, Haselby, Rich (Beams, Robinson)

R: Simmonds, McIntosh (Pyke, White)

F: Franklin, Richo, Goodwin, Petrie, Lucus, Higgins, Skipworth (Brown, Ziebell)

I've got a remaining salary cap of $50k. What do I do with it??? My forward line is causing me the most grief because it's unpredictable.
My aim is to trade up the forwards at some point or I could trade out Goodwin and trade down Lucus or Skipworth and upgrade to Boomer. Stevie Johnson is on my wish list too

what do i do?

backline is very solids compared to most. alot stonger than mine! only concern is shaw. IMO too unpredictable but has been good over a number of years. in the mids i would suggest trading kerr just think being in such a crap team he wont be as dominant this year and may even rest him during the year if they lose a lot. rucks are weak simmonds and mcintosh are huge risk. coming from a kangas supporter i wouldnt get mcintosh good ruckman, not a very good SC player.nyour forwards are fairly strong but i have a strong ? on goodwin. i would suggest trading him down to steve johnson seen as you said you like him and upgrade your rucks. but looks like a side i wouldnt want to be playing (Y).
my team is a few posts above

 

[IhateMondays]

My Team V666:
Goddard, Hodge, Newman, Malceski, Houlihan, Grimes, Spangher(Hill, Petrenko)
Lots of cows here, but a solid bench in case they dont work out and to avoid the back bench conundrum.

Ablett, Selwood, Gibbs, Knights, Tuck, Rich (Otten, Robinson)
Ablett is in because i need a reliable captain, and hes the man. Saves me a trade later too for when i upgrade to him. Knights is my favourite player, so dont bother commenting on him.

Cox, Hille (J Spencer, graham)
Spencer has been backed in the press, so going with him on the bench.

Franklin, Deledio, Chapman, Higgins, Skipworth, Krakouer, Yarran (M Brown,W Thompson)
Again, lots of cheap options because of the aforementioned forward fluctuations. Brown and Thompson should both get lots of games as cover for the other ones, yarran in particular is a worry for me. Chappy is a gun and i will pick him despite injury concerns. Also for a change, he has had a preseason, so that will be good.

Salary remaining: $59,900

Thoughts, criticisms, angry yelling about Ablett,Hodge, knights and not having Hasleby?(that seems to be all this team gets....)

Can someone comment on this please? i did my response on pg11 already, but no one did mine for some reason... thanks in advance

Backline: Can't be sure about Spangher, but recommend putting Hill on the field and downgrading Spangher to Suban.
Mids: If you are insistent on Knights, this is a good midfield.
Rucks: Excellent. Don't change a thing.
Forwards: Too many cheapies IMO. Sure, making money is a priority, but so is scoring points.

Hope that helps.

Now for mine:
Backline: Goddard, Fisher, Enright, Cornes, Raines, Grimes, Hill (Suban, Petrenko)
Midfield: Bartel, Judd, Selwood, Gibbs, Hasleby, Rich (Anthony, Robinson)
Ruck: Cox, McIntosh (Graham, Spencer)
Forwards: Pavlich, Deledio, Chapman, Richardson, Higgins, Krakouer, Ziebell (Brown, Walker)

Thoughts appreciated.

I like your back line Dalziell i think is too expensive and are better options out there, rich and Zieb seem to be losing the luster and might not play rd 1 im a big fan of hille esp with cox having a broken face. Lucas i think is over it but could be just old age taking its time in pre season

Rucks: Hille, Ottens (currie, white)

Backline is strong, and quite similar to many others. Maybe consider players like Brendan Goddard and Sam Fisher from the Saints?
Midfield again is strong, however, i would consider someone else instead of Dalziell, as he has still only played about 8 games, and for a price of nearly 500,000, i don't think he's worth it.
Strong forwardline. I don't think i've seen many teams without Deledio this season.

Backs are good, im not sold on lockyer, but the rest are good

I like your midfield because its different with kornes and dalziell, hope that pays off for you.

no cox is always a concern, but im sure you have thought it through and
have decided that for a reason.

forwards are good, im well off the lucas train, but that could turn out very well for you.

now for my team, im hoping its my final team until round 1 teams are out.

Back: Goddard, Gilbee, Cornes, Houli, Malceski, Raines, Grimes (Hill, Petrenko)
Very happy here, if others disagree, please, im open to your opinions

Mid: Bartel, Judd, Selwood, Gibbs, T.Tuck, Rich (Robinson, Beams)
Very happy here, if others disagree, please, im open to your opinions

Rucks: Cox, McIntosh (Currie, Sullivan)
Have decided to go with HMAC instead of ottens because i needed the cash. dont know about it though.

Forward: Franklin, Deledio, Chapman, Fevola, Higgins, Henstchel, Ziebell (Gumbleton, Grant)
Happy, as long as chappy can go against what everyone is saying and hold up for at least most of the year, emergencies will probably change

thoughts are very much appreciated
Cheers

 

[IDIG]

Ive already commented on a fair few teams so ill just post mine... Feedback welcome (especially from Parasite as he seems to judge them harsh ).

Backs: Goddard, Gilbee, H Shaw, Drummond, Myers/Hansen, Houlihan, Hill (Petrenko, Broughton)

Reports are that Myers is injured so if thats the case ill go for Hansen (or is there any suggestions for a better player at that price?) Other than that happy
Yep Myers looks to be injured. Can you find 25k? Malceski looks to be the obvious replacement but im guessing you havent chosen him for a reason. Backs look good, big point potential which i like. My only criticsm (if you'd call it that) is that you have Gilbee, Shaw and Drummond, which could mean disaster. Tag, tag and injury prone but you never know what can happen.


Mids: Bartel, Judd, Selwood, Gibbs, T Tuck, Robinson (Beams, Redden)

Pretty happy with this although the 3 Carlton players could be a problem
Likin it, only thing would be when you get Gaz, you'll potentially have 3 cats and 3 blues starting.

Rucks: Hille, Kruezer (Graham , Spencer)
I know no Cox.... (my prediction is an injury )
Hope you're wrong

Fwds: Reiwoldt, Goodwin, Deledio, J Brown/Franklin, Veszpremi, Higgins, Henderson (Walker, M Brown)
Still undecided on Franklin and Brown ... Brown from reports seems a little underdone but so is Franklin. Tried to go a couple of Mid/Fwds here.
Id go Brown, Buddy has a tough start to the year and should go down. Most teams wont have this set up early so you have nice variety there.

Hopefully my team is different from all of the other teams on this board (i swear about 80% are the same) but is still decent.....
Overall, nice team. You have potential to score big but theres always a downside to that.

THOUGHTS?

Now for mine:
Backline: Goddard, Fisher, Enright, Cornes, Raines, Grimes, Hill (Suban, Petrenko)
Not a fan of Enright, i think theres better value or the money could be better spent elsewhere. Grimes/Hill starting could be a risk if one doesn't get named and your emergencies don't play but has its upside i suppose.

Midfield: Bartel, Judd, Selwood, Gibbs, Hasleby, Rich (Anthony, Robinson)
Could have 3 cats when you get Gaz if that's a problem.

Ruck: Cox, McIntosh (Graham, Spencer)
IMO if you dont have Ottens, McInt is on par with Leuenberger but thats just me. COuld free up some dollars if req'd.

Forwards: Pavlich, Deledio, Chapman, Richardson, Higgins, Krakouer, Ziebell (Brown, Walker)
Nice work, the obvious risk with Chapman is there but its definitely worth a punt.

Thoughts appreciated.

my team is
Backs: Gilbee, newman, C Cornes, Lockyer, Mackie, Raines, Grimes (hill, suban)
One of the more different backlines ive seen. Lots of potential but i think you'll have the odd low scoring week. Not sure about Mackie if he's suited to sc but things could change i suppose.

Midfield: Corey, Selwood, K Cornes, Dalziell, Haeslby, rich. (robinson, beams)
Different again, i think there's better value than Corey. Dalziell i actually think could be worth it despite all the hate you'll probably get.

Rucks: Hille, Ottens (currie, white)
Different again.

Fowards: Pavlich, Deledio, Richardson, Lucas, houlihan, higgins, Ziebell (Grant, sidebottom)
Solid. Lucas could be the bargian of the year.

Different team in all, think you can either look like a genius or have a few quiet weeks.

 

[IDIG]

Cheers IsDonIsGoodes In regards to the whole Brown v Franklin scenario i have just discovered i could downgrade Myers to Raines meaning i can get Pav.... What do you think of this?

Essentially this would make my team something like this...

Backs: Goddard, Gilbee, Shaw, Drummond, Raines, Houlihan, Hill

Mids: Bartel, Judd, Selwood, Gibbs, T Tuck, Robinson

Rucks: Hille, Kruezer

Fwds: Reiwoldt, Pavlich, Goodwin, Deledio, Veszpremi, Higgins, Henderson

My only concern is that this makes my team somewhat similar to alot of others.....

Yep good changes. Can't go wrong with Pav no matter what you hear on here. I wouldn't worry about your team looking similar to others cos most in your league wouldn't be bf frequenters (i wouldnt imagine) so your opponent week in, week out wont have a bf carbon copy.

Reports are that Myers is injured so if thats the case ill go for Hansen (or is there any suggestions for a better player at that price?) Other than that happy

Am looking at Gavin Urquart from the kangaroos, played only 15 games, so is still young and will improve in price, is a permanent starter in most roos fans teams, and should go up in price (like Myers) as he is still young.

Mids: Bartel, Judd, Selwood, Gibbs, T Tuck, Robinson (Beams, Redden)

Pretty happy with this although the 3 Carlton players could be a problem

Have a very similar midfield to yours, although Bartel is a slow starter so will wait for him to drop in price. then ill pick him up

Rucks: Hille, Kruezer (Graham , Spencer)

I know no Cox.... (my prediction is an injury )

/\ /\ /\ My thoughts too

Fwds: Reiwoldt, Goodwin, Deledio, J Brown/Franklin, Veszpremi, Higgins, Henderson (Walker, M Brown)

Still undecided on Franklin and Brown ... Brown from reports seems a little underdone but so is Franklin. Tried to go a couple of Mid/Fwds here.

Not sure on Vez, Henderson, are not walk up starters and there could be a couple of other options than these two. I personally have M.Brown, should be a real getter this year, and am not completely convinced that Walker will play more than a dozen games.

Hopefully my team is different from all of the other teams on this board (i swear about 80% are the same) but is still decent.....


THOUGHTS?

my thoughts in bold...

Advice PLEASE.

 

[J6shSC]

Here is my latest team. Although I am starting to feel really good about my base supports for my team, I still feel I could make a few changed. Maybe downgrade Hodge to someone like Fisher (although I'm not too comfortable having two St. Kilda backline players in the one part of my team, there's only so much of the ball to go around) and upgrade Masten or perhaps Griffen. I'm also kind of keen to have Chad Cornes in my backline, he should score pretty well again this year but I am struggling to find the money. If I downgrade Hodge to Cornes I don't have enough money to REALLY upgrade my midfield enough to be worth it.

Backline; Hodge, Goddard, Gilbee, Adcock, Malceski, Houlihan, Hill, (Suban, Petrenko)
Midfield; Ablett, Judd, Griffen, Masten, Skipworth, Rich, (Dangerfield, Anthonym (NM))
Ruck; Cox, Ottens, (White, Currie)
Forwards; Franklin, Deledio, Johnson (GEE), Fevola, Reiwoldt (RICH), Higgins, Krakouer, (Ziebell, Grant (WB))

Any opinions would be appreciated, I don't care about how I go overall I am mainly interested in winning my league.

Now for mine:
Backline: Goddard, Fisher, Enright, Cornes, Raines, Grimes, Hill (Suban, Petrenko)
Midfield: Bartel, Judd, Selwood, Gibbs, Hasleby, Rich (Anthony, Robinson)
Ruck: Cox, McIntosh (Graham, Spencer)
Forwards: Pavlich, Deledio, Chapman, Richardson, Higgins, Krakouer, Ziebell (Brown, Walker)

I've given this a little tweak. It now looks like:
Backline: Goddard, Fisher, Cornes, Drummond, Malceski, Raines, Hill (Suban, Petrenko)
Midfield: Bartel, Judd, Selwood, Gibbs, Hasleby, Rich (Robinson, Anthony)
Rucks: Cox, Leuenberger (Jacobs, Spencer)
Forwards: Pav, Deledio, Chapman, Richo, Higgins, Krakouer, Ziebell (Walker, Brown)

My queries are:
1. Who would I be looking to upgrade to Ablett?
2. Is Leuenberger a feasible option for 2nd ruckman?
3. Are the three cheap forwards safe?

Not a bad strategy although your midfield lacks that one real superstar. Could work though. You have one of those teams that could go consistently great or you could be in trouble the odd week.

Here is my latest team. Although I am starting to feel really good about my base supports for my team, I still feel I could make a few changed. Maybe downgrade Hodge to someone like Fisher (although I'm not too comfortable having two St. Kilda backline players in the one part of my team, there's only so much of the ball to go around) and upgrade Masten or perhaps Griffen.

Again a different strategy to most on here. I like it, risky though. I think theres a couple of better options than Masten. Buddy and Hodge you could definitely downgrade as they;ll both struggle early but thats really up to you. Good team nonetheless. I think there are better optinos for your reserves too.

My queries are:
1. Who would I be looking to upgrade to Ablett? Hasleby, the other 4 should be keepers.
2. Is Leuenberger a feasible option for 2nd ruckman? I think so
3. Are the three cheap forwards safe? As safe as their pricetag allows them to be

I am strongly considering downgrading Hodge, but I think Buddy will be perfectly fine. He had 25 touches and 4 goals in the first praccy he played so I'm not worried.

Out of curiosity, what better options can you see in my reserves?

 

[sebsport3]

$5,700 (so not much). I hear wat ur sayin bout the mids but if i was to change anyone it probably be bartel --> J.Selwood LOL so i guess im stuffed. I just hope that these guys will perform even when they lose. Would prefer fisher or gilbee but just cant see where im gonna get the cash.

Now ur team
Backs - Pretty much the same as mine. im still changing between Rance/Suban/petrenko.
Mids - Solid just unsure bout blacks pre-season cross is very consistent
Rucks - The sydney bench seems to be a winner pretty much solid shouldnt need to be touched at all
Forwards - Great! Chapman seems to be set for a good year and i think sidebottom looks the goods as a cash cow, only downside is i dont like havin too much cash on bench so if u think u could find another rookie at 94K and u could use the 30K to good use i would do that.

OVERALL - i can see why u like my team, same sought of team and mix of players with variations. I think both our teams have reasonable bases i think its those variations which will make or break us

haha thats why i didnt have any suggestions about who to get! cos like you said, it would either be selwood, ablett, bartel, corey etc but yeh they will still score well when they lose, they dont seem to be front runners so should be all good! suban got cleaned up on the w/e against the blues, not sure how bad or he will miss games etc so mite want to keep an eye on him, but like you said, got a few good options if hes no good.

yeh i was rethinking black, limited to no pre-season, just that he was unreal last year, so have a soft spot for him haha
im excited about chapman too, apparantly this is the first full preseason hes had in years so should be even better than b4, and he dominated on friday nite! also heard today that gumbleton isnt a certainty for round one, so mite have to rethink him also?
