Thanks guys
You don't need any advice that's a ripper team, right off the bat, the GUN/ROOK strategy is obvious and it works.
sort the rooks out closer to march as we all will when we know a lot more.
DEF: 10/10
MID: 10/10
RUC: 10/10
FWD: 9.5/10
Lost a alf a point on cloke, key position player and if dawes fires like he did early 2011 cloke will lose DT points.
Seriously good team, predictable, non-genuine but safe as houses and as solid as them too, I'm in a mind to copy and paste :)
Looks great on paper. Until you check out your situation in round 12.
A quick, hopefully accurate, check sees 4 backs out, 4 mids out and 4 forwards out. If your only going for a league win, throw the rd12 game and send the lads off on a mid season break. Otherwise you may need to compromise a little.
Nice work though, well done.

Thompson in for Pendles as i think his start will be too good to miss and will probably average more for the first part of the season. Fiddled around with the rookies with the extra $$ and i rekon they look a lot better now. Im not sure on Cloke but i dont see anyone better for his price. Thoughts?
First good point about round 12 ShirtFront.
As for who is better than cloke, for a key forward buddy only maybe, but for DT i'd suggest any of these at his price or less
Pavlich or Robinson, I'd stratch if possible to Fyfe if he is good to go round 1.
thanks for or your comments, ive tried to balance out the byes a bit.
Mids are now very balanced, 2/2/2
Fwds and Def's still have 3 out round 12 still but one week there has to be 3 i suppose!
i guess its either throw one whole bye round and write it off by stacking your team with that rounds bye players, or even it out and make possibly one or two trades each bye round or for 2 of them. Or don't trade at all and face the possibilities of 3 rounds of a couple of donuts.
I've gone the balanced approach and will try to hold cash cows and mid pricers to the bye rounds and trade during them all.

Ruck: 9.5/10
For: 9/10
Very good team.
I agree as before great team, i would take waters over grimes i have, also worth taking a look at clarke from the pies, if he is going to play he will outscore most rookies and is around $135k (DEF), very similar to my latest updated team (posted below).
I am still tossing up whether to downgrade mcevoy to hmac and strengthen the def (heppel or broughton) or fwds (christensen) , or leave it as it is. NAB cup will make the HMac decision for me hopefuly he looks the goods!
I was also torn between upgrading to swan midseason and taking rockliffe i got a feeling about him tearing it up this year and much cheaper than swan, that is another change pending NAB cup which will further strenghten the fwd/def.

I think your fwd line and backs are slightly better on paper the mids are equal and my ruck is stronger. If Hmac looks the goods through nab cup he will replace mcevoy and i will boost the def or fwd and we should score pretty similar in round 1.
waters is in! thought he was more expensive then that.

the issue being goddard, delidio, scottland, ellis and morris all with the round 13 bye, easy fixed just chenge one or both of the richmand rooks to other rooks not on a round 13 bye. or downgrade scottland to an enright or adcock. i didnt have a close look at the bye rounds just noticed 13 was heavy but yeah as dtgun says also there are always trades for the bye rounds.....

Thanks mate i appreciate that, your FWD line is stronger, our midfields are equal enough, my ruck is stronger but not by a lot if hmac goes well and scores close to premium the $150K plus you save in the ruck will help you TONS, if he doesnt that will cost you and it will keep costing you until it costs you a trade or two and regret. :). Our Defences are different but comapable.
Nice team mate good luck with HMac, if he tears uo NAB Cup he'll be a colliwobbler too :)

Challenge accepted.
Shaw is a roller coaster, you could easily pick him up cheaper. I personally am gonna watch how he gets tagged now he is the distributor out of defence instead of leon. Docherty is not fully fit either has hamstring problems.
Docherty is injured and won't be starting round 1.
As for the Shaw thing... I don't know, I wouldn't be so sure (definitely wasn't tempted to make a pun there). Last year he shook a lot of that roller coasting... and by round 15 the max he'd dropped off his starting price was 10k.
i reckon its worth seeing how or if more attention comes his way now leon is gone. he has never handled a tag
Docherty/Smedts out for Clarke/Brown
I just dont see a better option for his price and below, keep in mind his the only genuine premium back with a bye in round 12.

Not so much has changed, jumped on the conca bandwagon love the kid he will be a gem.
Robinson has convinced me he is worth a punt, a high possession midfielder is worth a punt in the fowardline i rekon,
Not worried about byes as such ill worry about it closer when im downgrading/upgrading

Nice DT GUN i agree with you but I did say "much" and you only got him on 2 players, thanks for the tip on docherty i was hoping he would be fit rnd 1 but if not there will be cheaper rooks anyway which is good.
I HOPE Shaw will be consistant and very good this year, just got to keep him out of betting agencies hey
Do we really think Marty Clarke will get a game with Collingwood? If so, won't get be substitute material in the early rounds? I rate him as a footballer, but I'm just not sure on his job security at 141k...

your team is solid and is on track to have a solid start to the season. Just keep a close eye on grimesy through the pre-season, because if he doesn't look in good shape i would avoid him.
I agree looks good, Grimes is the only concern.
I believe you are on the right track. My only queries are the backs: Broughton, Adcock and Grimes.You may get 2 out of 3 and in the case of Broughton it will depend on the strategy of the coach. Grimes seems to be a player who gets injured and worst of all, is unlucky. Adcock's scoring will depend on the fortunes of his team and he again, tends to get injured at inopportune times for fantasy players. Solid team with great mids and rucks.
1 PREM RUCK TEAM, I think this strategy will work better because rucks at some point during the year all seemingly drop in price with the exception of maybe cox. Tell me what you think

Not a bad looking team that one. I have seen people use the cheap ruck theory before but not use the extra cash wisely. Giles + Brogan vs Mummy (Rnd 1) Goldstein (Rnd 2) Cox (Rnd3) Jacobs (Rnd4) = Giles getting 50-60 points ?
Have Saad in my forward line to but be careful there has been a few negative reports around him.

would be a great team but too many premos awol in round 12

Guns and rooks for me mainly because I rate Rockliffe and Pav over Barlow and Robinson in team 2.
Nice teams tho. Good luck in your final decision. You know the team you dont go with will really fire early in the season just to P you orf!
I dont mind the Mid priced team seems to be better balanced but a bit riskier... Guns and Rooks looks alright too but i would rather have an extra forward than defender .. forwards will score more than the backs and theres more choices eg. Fisher out for an extra good forward
