Hi guys,
Thought I would start a thread for are league where we can chat about our teams and strategy.
My First Team atm sits as:
Gibbs, Duffield, Heppel, Pittard, Goodes, Thurlow, Terlich, Colquhuon.
Watson, Cotchin, Pendles, Chapman, Embley, Wines, K.Mitchell, O'meara, Crouch, Viney
Cox, Berger, Daw, Mcbean
Buddy (c), Walker, Roughhead, Hawkins, Darling, Krakour, Mcaffer, Daniher
Gone with a heavy forward line with KP players as they can smash the big scores from my experience in the past. Gone light on backs as i find the scores dont vary as much think rookies can easily score at least 80's. 8 million start makes it tough.
Feel free to criticse my team. Or praise or copy it if ya love it :)
Hey Owen how did you verify your sportsbet account? They couldn't identify me ??? ... So I'm not sure what to do...
Owen - got a Sportsbet league?

Yeah I think going lighter in the backs is the way to go
Chapman is an interesting pick
Forward are good keep an eye on Krak tho he was not that impressive last night
Sorry LF but that Is a shocking team. Changes are necessary: Jack, Hibbard and Bellchambers .
Not sold on Siposs.
Why Jack Whatlez?
I did my research into the sportsbet scoring system and he is a good pick for sb

there are other mids I could pick but going by his stats last year coupled with the SB scoring system I chose Jack but I still have my eye on a few others NAB cup will determine everything.

yeah Danger is still on the cards for me I actually have him in my sportal team

Under this scoring system just think Zorko will score more than Rocky. Zorko will be spending a lot of time at HF as well so will have more opportunities. Will also be instrumental in applying forward tags. Zorko has an average 10 more tackles than Rocky as well, So basically just the scoring system. Rocky will probably be in my team by season end though.
Your right mate, i know Zorko's a tackling machine, but i'd luv to have both in . Salary caps a real issue though
Suits kp's in forward line 12 points for a goal. There is also only 8mil for salary.

You're right mate, but it worries me if a kpp has a shocker, which they often do, our scores on any given day really suffer, compared to a mid/forward who may snag a goal and also pick up a few possies, seem to manage a half decent score. I do agree though owen, when a kkp has a ripper, man they score well. I suppose thats what makes every single decision we make rd.1 so critical. 12 points for a goal does have a lot of appeal though :-\
Forgot to add dudge that I would have had both if Salary Cap allowed.

Ok tweaked team some more
It's better. Would prefer others over Danger and Waters
Looks ok LF, Neade could be a blessing for all of us looking for rookie fwds.

Yeah I`m still tweaking and researching
Nothing wrong with Danger stats wise for Sportsbet also have another up my sleeve but don`t know if I have the guts to go with that player tho.
Waters is still a big ? I`m still thinking I may go back to Stanley.
Really need to see some full NAB cup games

I read somewhere (can`t remember exactly where) that he is actually ahead of schedule with his recovery.
He wasn`t supposed to be playing NAB but they did name him for the weekend and didn`t end up playing him so I`d say he is pretty close Grazz may get a run in round 2.
Cheers LF, thats good news. Be happy to see him get a run with Cox rnd 2.
Looks alright LF.
I've been having a fair play with mine:
Goddard Gibbs Gwilt Young Tambling Goodes Staker Terlich
Swan Pendle Selwood Murphy Wines Lonergan Mitchell O'meara Viney crouch
Cox Berger
Franklin Walker Roughead Hawkins Darling Macaffer Daniher Neade
124K in Bank.

l like No.1 the best
no 2 for me LF
yeh no. 1
Yeah I liked the first one when I saw it so think will go with that.
I'm loving my Sportsbet team. Looks fantastic. Only problem is that I tried to do the same team in Centrebet, but I'm $100 short!!
I got $300 left in Sportsbet, but $100 short in Centrebet... no fair :(
Although Crouch to Kent/M.Jones solves my problem.
Also Centrebet, but Kennedy looks awesome 8)

I don't see him a DT worthy enough. But if he scores 130 DT I don't mind. He should get 150+ SC and 180+ SB/CB :D And Centrebet is my main comp.
So how has everyone gone so far this round?
433/4. Happy with the start.

285/3 not flash.

Cox, Goddard, Walters - 314
583/6 for me Luke Browns 46 hurting. Not a bad start for a novice.
525/5 - JJK was a good pick. Cox/Jacobs both sub 100
260/3 Danger! ::)

727/6 fairly happy so far :)
But my CB with all the prize money is a disaster Danger/Robbo :'(
Aus you didn't go the same team for both? Silly haha

yeah had my sportsbet team done and when CB came out i thought i would mix it up slightly even though the scoring was the same. :(
Wish i hadn't, should of stuck with the tig's Cotch/Dusty over Danger/Robbo. But early days and centrebet has the prize for best weekly and Danger/Robbo have higher ceilings. ;)
14/1460
It's not too bad but I chucked a few risky players in that didn't really go well this week
Rich and Lower
Zorko was crap as well and Stevens got vested
1317/11. Pretty happy so far :)
11/1218 meh :-\
2552 Not great, had a few disasters. I'll take it for rnd one but seen some nice scores floating around.
