Best team I have seen at this stage of pre-season! Looks great mate, just keep doing your research and watch the NAB closely, this is the makings of a top-notch squad.

This your version of the Herald Sun drip feed?

Is GOAT referring to Cripps?

GoLions · December 18, 2015, 11:16:22 AM

Just had a quick play then, came up with this for now

TEAM NAME: Dave's Legends 2016
DEF: H. Shaw, J. McVeigh, J. Bartel, R. Harwood, E. Mackenzie, A. Francis (R. Bonner, M. Hibberd)
MID: G. Ablett jnr, D. Beams, T. Rockliff, T. Liberatore, B. Crouch, D. Myers, D. Parish, J. Hopper (M. Kennedy, L. Sumner, B. Keays)
RUC: T. Goldstein, S. Martin (D. Currie)
FWD: B. Deledio, D. Zorko, M. Barlow, D. Wells, C. Curnow, N. Kommer (C. Petracca, H. Balic)
CASH LEFT: $23,300

Should probably go Currie to King for loopholing, frees up like 50k. Can probably go Shaw down to someone like Simmo, gets me another 100k. Then maybe Curnow to Leuey or something.

Nah mate, Cripps is just a kid. I speak of the one and only GOAT

Nice Team GL

Following up on your suggestion Shaw to cheaper defender, Currie to King and Curnow to Berger Need $139k for this. Would give you the ruck coverage and excellent loophole with King. (King has 11 Sunday games)

Yeah King should be really good for loopholing. Will be interesting though if a rookie ruck who should play pops up, as have to decide between extra cash vs potential loophole points

Thinking of dropping Gaz. Gut says he won't last long until he gets injured again, brain says no you're a flowering idiot :P

Little bit of tinkering

TEAM NAME: Dave's Legends 2016
DEF: J. McVeigh, J. Bartel, S. Hurn, R. Harwood, M. Adams, R. Bonner (M. Brown, M. Hibberd)
MID: G. Ablett jnr, D. Beams, R. Sloane, T. Rockliff, T. Liberatore, B. Crouch, D. Parish, J. Hopper (M. Kennedy, L. Sumner, B. Keays)
RUC: T. Goldstein, S. Martin (M. King)
FWD: B. Deledio, D. Zorko, M. Barlow, M. Leuenberger, D. Wells, N. Kommer (C. Petracca, H. Balic)
CASH LEFT: $16,400

Main changes are:
Shaw-->Hurn
Emac-->Adams
Myers-->Sloaneyyyyyyyyy
Curnow-->Leuey

Ringo · December 28, 2015, 12:04:36 PM

Nice team GL. Monitor McVeigh preseason though. Has only just come off crutches so may be a little underdone.

Also watch Freo pre-season to see how Barlow works with the addition of Bennell.

Would also keep an eye on Sam Kerridge at a new club to consider,

GoLions · December 28, 2015, 12:18:57 PM

Yeah obviously won't start McVeigh if he isn't fit. Should be a top 5 defender though so if he's fit round 1, he's in for me.

Think Barlow will be fine.

Will monitor Kerridge and see if he's comfortably best 22 at the Blues or not.

More fiddling

TEAM NAME: Dave's Legends 2016
DEF: J. Bartel, B. Smith, S. Hurn, R. Harwood, M. Adams, R. Bonner (M. Brown, M. Hibberd)
MID: G. Ablett jnr, D. Beams, R. Sloane, T. Rockliff, T. Liberatore, B. Crouch, D. Parish, J. Hopper (M. Kennedy, L. Sumner, B. Keays)
RUC: T. Goldstein, S. Martin (M. King)
FWD: D. Martin, D. Zorko, M. Barlow, L. Franklin, D. Wells, N. Kommer (C. Petracca, H. Balic)
CASH LEFT: $23,600

McVeigh-->Smith (somehow left him out of last team)
Lids-->Dusty
Leuey-->Buddy

However, if McVeigh seems to be travelling well in the pre-season, or Dusty cops a few matches before the season start, etc, Will go back to old team, but switching Hurn for Smith.

Nice team mate, and very nice changes. I think this year I'm going take a playing r3 (assuming one plays, currie for example), and then trading him down to a non playing r/f later on. I think the cash generation will be more important than the guaranteed loophole, but not 100% certain on this strategy. If you decided to go this way, you would need more cash in the kitty atm.
