This was a good thread last year, so I want to get one going again. Now that full lockout has hit, let us all know what your starting side is. Also want to make clear, it's not a RMT. just simply a place to post your team and check out the others around here. I'll kick us off... D: Goddard, Deledio, Shaw, Birchall, Broughton, Malceski, Ellis, Bugg, Morris M: Pendlebury, Ablett, Selwood, CSmith, Ledger, Shiel, McDonald, Magner R: Cox, Giles, Redden, Stephenson F: Franklin, Fyfe, Rioli, Martin, Porplyzia, Cripps, DSmith, Dickson, Paine $20,400 buried in the back yard
D: Goddard, Deledio, Shaw, Broughton, Guthrie, Lake, Ellis, Bugg, Mohr M: Pendlebury, Ablett, Selwood, C.Smith, Ledger, Shiel, Coniglio, Magner R: Kreuzer, Giles, Redden, Stephenson F: Franklin, Fyfe, Goodes, Martin, Pavlich, Porplyzia, Tomlinson, D.Smith, Dickson Very similar to you, anthak. But Seaworld and 0-1-3 ruck. Loved Hodge but the Rd 1 injury caused a shake-up to 3-0-5 MID and strong FWD. MID's were 4-0-4 before Hodge was out.
D: Goddard, Scotland, Birchall, Broughton, Ellis, Smedts, Bugg, Darley M: Pendlebury, Ablett, Murphy, Selwood, Coniglio, Magner, Ledger, Shiel R: Cox, Giles, Redden, Stephenson F: Franklin, Fyfe, Goodes, Pavlich, Porplyzia, Cripps, D. Smith, Dickson, A. Kennedy $6,100 not enough to bother burying in the backyard, so it's under the mattress
Interesting 0-1-3 rucks, Whips. Must be laughing after the first 2 games of the round! D: Goddard, Shaw, Birchall, Broughton, Smedts, Ellis, Bugg, Mohr, Morris M: Pendlebury, Ablett, Murphy, Selwood, Ledger, Magner, C. Smith, Shiel R: Mummy, Kreuzer, Giles, Redden F: Franklin, Fyfe, Martin, Sidebum, Porpoise, Cripps, D. Smith, Dickson, Kennedy $7,300 in spare change left over. Had to do a bit of last minute tweaking due to non-selections and money constraints.
so i have taken a few risks, why did i drop pendles yesterday, why, why?? D: Goddard, Scotland, Deledio, Broughton, Malceski, Clarke, Ellis, Morris, Bugg M: Ablett, Picken, McCarthy, C Smith, Ledger, Shiel, J McDonald, Magner R: Mumford, Hale, Giles, Redden F: Franklin, Fyfe, Martin, Cloke, Sidebottom, Dangerfield, Tom Lynch crows, D Smith, A Kennedy
D: Deledio, Shaw, Birchall, Guthrie, Mohr, Ellis, Bugg, Morris, Smedts M: Pendlebury, Ablett, Boyd, Selwood, Coniglio, Shiel, Ledger, Magner R: Cox, Mumford, Giles, Redden F: Franklin, Fyfe, Martin, Petrie, Porpylzia, D.Smith, A.Kennedy, Dickson, Paine $36k in hand. Droopy came in to replace Gray after final teams announced.
D Goddard, Deledio, Broughton, Malceski, Ellis, Bugg, Mohr, Morris, Tynan M Pendlebury, Ablett, Rockliff, Selwood, Coniglio, Magner, Shiel, JMac R Mumford, Giles, Redden, Stephenson F Franklin, Fyfe, Chapman, Rioli, Martin, Kennedy, Smith, Smedts, Dickson Porps dropped out at the last minute to pay for Gray> Rioli, also decided at the last minute to bring in Pendles (phew). $44,100 stashed in the loft.
Again fairly similar. Had some last minute doubts and was thinking about dropping a fwd premium and adding a rockliff/watson in the mids, however i decided the mid rooks are a safer option. D: Goddard, Deledio, Shaw, Birchall, Lake, Clarke, Ellis, Smedts, Bugg M: Ablett, Mitchell, Selwood, Ledger, C.Smith, Magner, Shiel, Kerridge R: Cox, Giles, Redeen, Stephenson F: Franklin, Goodes, Fyfe, Pavlich, Martin, Porplyzia, D.Smith, Kennedy, Dickson $55k left in the bank
D: Goddard, Deledio, Shaw, Broughton, Clarke, Ellis, Bugg, Morris, Boumann M: Ablett, Pendlebury, Murphy, Coniglio, Shiel, Magner, McDonald, Ledger R: Cox, Mumford, Giles, Redden F: Franklin, Goodes, Fyfe, Martin, Porplyzia, Kennedy, Smith, Dickson, Paine Too top heavy. 3 games in and 15/22 played already and score not looking high enough. Wish I took Mohr. Boumann yikes.

I wouldn't be happy with those selections.
B: Goddard, Deledio, Broughton, Heppell, Hanley, Hurn, Ellis (Bugg, Morris) C: Ablett, Swan, Parker, McCarthy, McDonald, Magner (Shiel, Ledger) R: McEvoy, Giles (Redden, Stephenson) F: Franklin, Goodes, Fyfe, Martin, Dangerfield, Porps, Cripps (D.Smith, Dickson) Cash: $33,900 I wasnt running with McCarthy, it was going to be C.Smith but with loss of McDonald & Parker for few weeks wanted someone with good job security. I did move Martin/Fyfe into midfield & got another midrange forward but decided this was best approach. I couldnt get any M/F rookies as none got named and that would be risky moving forward so hoping McCarthy continues his good preseasosn form. Wasnt running with Buddy most preseason, but when Gray went down i didnt like any other option so got him in (thank god after last night!) And yes i know i was talking down McEvoy all preseason :mrgreen:
D: Goddard, Deledio, Shaw, Birchall, Broughton, Ellis, Bugg, Morris, Hombsch M: Ablett, Rockliff, Swallow, McCarthy, Shiel, Magner, Ledger, Seedsman R: Cox, Redden, Giles, Stephenson F: Franklin, Fyfe, Martin, Sidebottom, Dangerfield, Proplyzia, Smith, Dickson, Paine Remaining salary: $1,400
Goddard, Scotland, Shaw, Broughton, Ellis, Mohr, Bugg Smedts, Yagmoor Ablett, Murphy, Selwood, Watson, Shiel, Magner Ledger, Miles Cox, Kreuzer Giles, Stephenson Franklin, Goodes, Fyfe, Martin, Cripps, Kennedy, Smith Paine, Dickson So far copped a bullet or two but also dodged some, pretty happy
a few last minute changes due to hodgy,s injury and koby,s non selection not sure i like my side now TBH but here goes DEF-goddard,shaw,broughton,johncock,lake,ellis,smedts,boumann,morrisMID-pendlebury,ablett,selwood,mackay,c.beams,mcdonald,shiel,magnerRUCKS-cox,nicnat,giles,orrenFWDS-franklin,goodes,chapman,k.tippett,porps,cripps,d.smith,kennedy,dickson 21K left over
It's a bit of relief to get this off my chest! For better or worse I stuck to my guns and haven't changed my team for the last two weeks except for deciding which rookies to play on field. D: Goddard, Scotland, Deledio, Lake, Ellis, Bugg, Paine (Mohr, Morris) M: Pendles, Ablett(c), Rockliff, Selwood, McDonald, Magner (Ledger, Shiel) R: Cox, Mumford (Giles, Stephenson) F: Franklin, Fyfe, Chapman, NRiewoldt, Cripps, DSmith, Smedts (Kennedy, Dickson) Obviously having Mohr and Kennedy stuck on the bench isn't great, but happy to have dodged the Shiel and Morris bullets (even if Paine only beat Morris by 14!). Main worries are some of the rookies scoring potential but I'm sure a lot of people are in that boat, so I hope all of my high end premiums can carry me through the early rounds! Some great looking teams on here, going to be some stiff competition.
I finished up with - D: Goddard, Deledio, Broughton, Lake, Guthrie, Bugg, Ellis, Morris, Boumann M: Pendlebury, Ablett, Boyd, J Selwood, McDonald, Magner, Ledger, Shiel R: Cox, Giles, Redden, Stephenson F: Franklin, Goodes, Fyfe, Martin, Dangerfield, Porplyzia, A Kennedy, D Smith, Dickson 22k in my sock draw Traded Gray and Watson out last minute for Danger and Boyd. Could have grabbed Sidebottom but think Danger has slightly less competition for points, fingers crossed! Boumann hurts.
D: B Goddard, B Deledio, G Broughton, D Heppell, B Lake, B Ellis, T Bugg, (A. Tomlinson, S Morris) M: S Pendlebury, G Ablett, L Montagna, S Coniglio, D Shiel, J Magner, (T Ledger, S Kerridge) R: N Naitanui, J Giles, (J Redden, O Stephenson) F: L Franklin, A Goodes, N Fyfe, P Chapman, D Martin, N Riewoldt, D Smith (A Kennedy, J Paine) Cash $4,200 I realise Kerridge isn't playing, but after the two partial lock-outs most of my Rookies had already played. I had salary cap constraints and I wasn't prepared to trade out any of my non-rookies to get the extra cash to allow me to pick a rookie mid who was selected in Round 1. From my keepers the only unique pick is Montagna who is in less than 2% of teams. Whilst Joey averaged 101 last year he had averaged 126 in 2009 and 115 in 2010 so there is some upside, he will benefit from the return of Hayes.
Here's my Banchang Bullies lineup (fwiw) with $16,800 stashed in one of my socks. D: Deledio Shaw Birchall Broughton Ellis Bugg Morris Guthrie Paine M: Pendlebury Ablett Murphy Boyd Caddy Magner Shiel Miles R: Cox Giles Reddan Stephenson F: Franklin Fyfe Chapman Cloke Porplyzia Cripps Kennedy D.Smith Dickson I think I pulled the right rein with my pine sitters except maybe Guthrie for Morris.
