Need best available FWD or DEF from Geel, Nrth, Rich, or WCE. Would love Kennedy but will likely end up with Rance. Looking at Ablett by round 10. Need all my ducks to line up or chickens to hatch. Smokey mirrors and all. Rookies to fatten up is all that is required. Easy. Right.

Hannebery, Sloane, Cripps, Ward, L. Neale & R. Gray all looking like solid early upgrade options based on their poor performances.

Sloane and Cripps and the top of my list as UNFORTUNATELY, I started with Hanners & Neale - so I'm stuck with them for now!

Traded Josh Kennedy for Hanners at the last minute - kicking myself, but at the end of the day, if those 2 don't average 108-112 i'd be shocked.

Too early to say Hanners and Neale are poor picks, it's been one game.
 
Straight dollar swap Ebert to Hannebery at $515K in precisely 4 weeks and 3 days time. There's M7 wrapped up. Mid price madness rules ! Rookies are so last year.
SPP +$155K to Joelwood off the back of Ainsworth in 7 weeks and 3 days time. I can rely on Selwood having two spud weeks in a row at some point. There's M8 done and dusted.
Speaking of Dusted...as soon as Martin goes DPP Mid/Fwd i'll flip him fwd using Pickett (who will avge 35 but be held for this moment), and pick up Will Brodie in the mids due to the new GC coach looking to give some more new talent a chance.
Zak Jones cements D5 with an 90 avge, Marchbank holds down D6 for the duration with an 84 avge, and Otten+$185K to a fallen Docherty just after bye rounds, off the back of a Jack Bowes injury being rerooked to Teia Miles.
Fwds will be a mess all season due to injuries so i cant be too precise about how they will unfold.

You can take that to the bank.
 
Backline: JJ, Doc, Simpson are the 3 i want at this stage
Considering i have a 7/0/4 mid structure only 1 room left for someone so looking at Rockliff at this stage.
Rucks: Gawn (hope Stef remains in my team and dominates, Nank could remain a keeper too so might not even need Gawn)
Fwds: NRoo is the one i really want atm, rest are unkowns at this stage, already have Dahl and Macrae.
 
Ideally, Danger will have a sub-100, his price will tumble down and I will be able to get him sub-600 for Bowes.
 
Ideally only need

DEF: Simpson, Rance
MID: Bont, JPK
RUC: Gawn
FWD: Buddy, Lynch

Then upgrade Steele/Nank/Roughie if they fall behind.

Hello BF community,

This year I tried really hard to get a good break out team for the start of the year and have been looking on this forum for expert advice as I know most of you make the top level.

I'm not too sure if this is the correct forum but I only got in the top 37% at the end of the round. I personally was really happy with this but most of you scored well above my score which made me think I am still in need of some significant help to get a decent team!

In general terms I am no SuperCoach Genius but I am going to include pictures of my team and if anyone has any advice that would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you very much, I know its early in the season but if I need to make swaps I will do them before the price changes at round three.

PS: I hope this is okay to post in this forum!View attachment 350539View attachment 350540

To be fair that is a pretty good looking side. Your backline lacks a massive scorer (Docherty – didn’t, unfortunately) others probably have Taylor Adams who can bust out big scores, and did bust out a monster. Plus no Laird, would have hurt. Already there is ~60 points you fell behind.

In midfield – you’ve got a good spread. Players who should be reasonably consistent but didn’t go wacko i.e Tmitch, Cripps, Hanners. Again there is probably another ~60-80 points behind as opposed to people who had Heppell, Pendles etc.

Your forward line is pretty much stock standard. May be one premium short and many of those above you would have had JJK who busted out a monster, Franklin who toned up and Steele also.
And then there is Nankervis. May be something to consider next week if he busts out a big score this week. But he does play for Richmond and is unproven.

You got unlucky. Another week Laird or Adams will get a 60 and Touhy will bust out 140.

If anything – you need another top line forward who will average around 110 and focus on getting a monster in midfield who rarely stuff up i.e Pendles. But as I’ve said, don’t make a correctional trade to do it…

Is this actually happening?

Vince has big red flashing lights above his head. Playing loose man roaming across half back. Precision kick setting up the play and taking kick outs. Will surely be top 6 defenders at year's end if he keeps playing that role. At 500k he's pretty cheap. Dabbled with him in my team but evened up going with Adams.

Only if he continues to knock out his designated opponent....

Praying that Pendles and Selwood have a couple of stin kers - the sooner the better.

Cripps once he can bend down, Ward, maybe Sloane.

Already have Hanners.

I suspect Rance isn't a top 6 this year. More attacking Richmond gameplan might hurt him I reckon. Think I prefer 2E.

JJK or Budwah.

I was thinking that with Rance today, the turn and go approach as opposed to the slowish switch might hurt his easy points, he should still rack up the defensive points though.

This week will be a better test, theoretically the Tigers will need to be a little more careful in their forward approach this week, they still have a lot of ball butchers & sides other than Carlton would have put 20 goals past them last week.

A sub 80 and I'm dropping him.
 
Bold are current. Upgrade targets:

Doc Shaw Laird Howe Adams Rance
Danger Pendles Treloar Fyfe GAJ Beams JPK one of Rocky/Jelwood
Gawn Goldy
Nroo Dahl Franklin JJK Greene Macrae
 
MY upgrade targets are in bold too.

campaigners that go at more than 100-110 per game depending on position.
 
Ablett's an interesting one, he'd be so handy to have over the three bye weeks.

I'd also like to get May in down back after his round 9 bye.

So you are going to hold Nroo? Stated 3-4 weeeks on Afl injury list but seems more like 1-2.
I got burnt by a couple of those last year and dont want to trade but need to deal with Smith aswell. Will wait for teams and decide then. :'(

Undecided. Kinda leaning towards a trade.
 
Will be looking to upgrade wherever is the biggest gap between my weakest link and best available for each line. My forwards are solid with Steele at F6 so Shaw, Doch, Pendles, JPK and Gawn are my priorities. That's a lot of cash!

Otten / Hampton > Shaw / Doch
SPP / O'Meara > Pendles / JPK
Witts > Gawn
