Just thought I'd post my complete, and quite unique, team here for people to have a look at.
Any ratings would be appreciated. I will not be making any more trades until finals so this is it for now.
Current rank 470. Last round I scored a monster 2431!
You'll notice I have avoided a lot of pain with no Hargrave, Waters, Pendlebury and Martin. Downsides are that I have not had Swan or Beams in my team at any point this season.
I have found it is quite a hit or miss team. Twice I have scored in the top 50 scores for a round, while other weeks have not been so good.
Backs: Goddard, Deledio, Adcock, Birchall, Broughton, Enright, Lake. Shaw, Darley.
Mids: Ablett, Boyd, Mitchell, Selwood, Barlow, Priddis. Gibson, Treloar.
Rucks: Cox, Ryder. Campbell, Stephenson.
Forwards: Franklin, Sidebottom, Chapman, Robinson, Goodes, Dangerfield, Cloke. Zorko, Cameron.
Looking at the teams above me I really need Enright, Birchall, Broughton, Adcock, Barlow, Priddis, Ryder and Cloke to fire and Swan and Beams to not do so well if I want to move up the rankings.
Very impressed. Great rank and scores without players most of us would consider locks...
If I'd seen that team anywhere else probably would have said 7 / 10 as you have quite a few pods who I really do not like (Cloke in particular) however results speak for themselves.
Good luck on the run into the finals!
Good team, but your very lucky to be in the situation your in! :P
Barlow after all was a great option to get from the start. :(
Solid cover everywhere as well. ;)
very good team, but i think swan and beams will continue their ripping form.. 9.9/10, you will probs finish in the top 300 :) good luck
Great side! 9+ out of ten! Many trades left!

Actually I didn't have Barlow from the start - traded him in just before he started busting out hundreds :P
So far he has averaged 99 for me which is fantastic but the best thing is that he has only now just hit top fitness and should average about 110 till the end of the season.
Have had a lot of luck so far - it's like everyone I didn't pick has had a problem. Though I did get Sandilands and start with Fyfe. Only one i regret trading in is Cloke but with the Zorkster carving up he can just be good cover.
But, the way things are going i'm half expecting Swan and Beams to go down injured shortly.
Almost no trades left but this team should get me through to finals in a good position.
And also because of the POD's I think I have a better chance of moving up the rankings (although also and equally good chance of dropping should all the standard picks excel) should they fire. There aren't really any gambles IMO - all are proven guns.
nice squad mem
How many trades do you have left??
Backs: Goddard, Deledio, Adcock, Birchall, Broughton, Enright, Lake. Shaw, Darley.
Mids: Ablett, Boyd, Mitchell, Selwood, Barlow, Priddis. Gibson, Treloar.
Rucks: Cox, Ryder. Campbell, Stephenson.
Forwards: Franklin, Sidebottom, Chapman, Robinson, Goodes, Dangerfield, Cloke. Zorko, Cameron.
Love the team, you have the back-ups there and the premiums aswell. Zorko, Shaw and Gibson as bench cover is awesome, and i really like Ryder as your R2. :D
If Cloke doesn't start firing i'd look at going to fellow Pie Beams, who is scorign very well. :D
Hopefully Adcock and Enright hold up for you, otherwise that ranking may slip as Carrots and Scotland have been very good this season.
