I still play with some switches but It's not my dominant theme. ive been going thru the forum today and several times today and one thing keeps being said to you, but you still arent taking much on board so im not helping you as others have already tried.
I've been giving my opinion on other teams so I guess it's only fair I throw mine out there for your thoughts. B: Goddard Gibbs Hanley Goodes Pittard Terlich (Docherty Stevenson) C: GAJ, Swan Pendles JPK Moloney Lucas O'Meara Kent (Crouch Viney) R: Jacobs Leuey (Currie Blicavs) F: Cox Zorko Bartel Rockliff Varcoe Karnezis (Macaffer Murdoch) $84,300 left. My only 2 queries I have are F8 Murdoch, and M9 and M10. Should it be Crouch/Viney, Crouch/Jones or Jones/Viney? Having 3 Melb. players @ M8,9 and 10 might be pushing it a tad too much.

Wines and viney if you want to keep him in. like def, fwds ok also Murdoch?who he play for Rowe for currie? so you can swing cox in rucks if needed. looking fairly solid tho. wait for rest of teams hey. im not sold on lucas either but coud be a great pick up( think im still spewing from last year with mid priced parker)
I had Wines and brought Lucas in as I think Wines might be strong candidate for the vest pretty often, whereas I think Lucas is in their best 22. Murdoch is with St.Kilda, but I'm open to suggestions there. Re: the rucks, my hope is for Naitanui to be out for about 4-5 rds and bring him in then for Leuey so I won't need Rowe. But lots of things can happen before next week. And I know what you mean about Parker last year.

Any feedback is good feedback. oh and when are the pre season stats going to be in stats? Your team looks pretty solid. I assume you're aware Mitchell needs to be elevated, to get a game. I like your Ruck combo but I would prefer Macaffer at F7, but that's just me. If you move Cox to FWD, that'll do it, but your rucks would then need some tinkering with. Cheers

Thanks kong, didn't put the rooks as I think they are fairly straightforward now pending team lists etc, left Gibbs in mid to fit the def rookies I wanted ( with the theory of switching him to def when the extra def cash cow matures) but do like the idea of removing broughton, hmmm, back to the drawing board. Will wait on luey news before toying with rucks.

Fair points there, Jay. I rate Heater but most teams will only have 3 Def prems and when you have Goodard,Gibbs,Waters,Birchall,Enright,Scotland etc. it comes down to personal choice. Heater may become a great POD for you. I will probably get him later if I can. As far as Blicavs goes, are there any other R3 or R4 going to get plenty of game time?

I'm not sure how much game time he'll get and whether his scores will be up there. Also, no Viney? Any specific reason? I would have thought he is a lock Only other query is Spangher. A bit unique, I haven't seen him in any other teams. Hawthorn are quite strong at the moment, so will he get games? There are probably better rookies for the forward line out there, such as Lee or Neade

Choppers, I'm liking your team. Re the M9 and M10 I agree with another poster that Wines and Viney would be your best bet. I'm worried about Varcoe. I think if he plays for the whole season he will be a gain, but if he doesn't I think he is a high chance to get injured again. Also, I think that Neade from Port is a better option than Murdoch, but we'll see who gets picked in the teams. I think that Lee would be ahead of Murdoch at STK, though. Other than that, great team
Here's mine Goddard (locked), Shaw, Gibbs, Vlastuin, B Goodes, Terlich, (Pittard, Colquhoun) Ablett, JP Kennedy, J Selwood, Pendles, Miles, Whitfield, Wines, Viney, (O'Meara, Hrovat) Maric, Leunberger, (Blicavs, Rowe) Franklin, Cox (Locked), Ryder (locked), Rockliff, Karnezis, Macaffer, (Neade, Lee) I need someone to convince me on Karnezis, and Miles is my POD. Miles has had a good preseason and GWS need a good midfielder. Noone is going to take his points either . Also the rookies are dependant on teams. Thanks to all future raters/haters Edit: Locked are the players to have played
Pretty solid side, hard to pick holes rookies aside... Nice punt on Miles though tbh I'd dump Franklin for Devon Smith and spend the 600k in the mids, more likely to pay off than Miles and you still get to punt on a GWS gun..

Also interested to ask why Smith will be better than Miles?
I don't think Simth is necessarily better than Miles, though I have him in and Miles out, I think they are both great contenders fro huge years. My point was more about the 600k on Franklin, it's a strategy call so not right or wrong until they start playing, for mine I would rather spend the 600k on amidfielder, and therefore was suggesting the option of trading Miles to the gun mid, and Franklin to Smith..

Strongly suggest you rethink you're view on Wines Choppers - there are several other more likely candidates for the kermit vest this year and can assure you that the coaches are pretty keen to throw the young fella into the midfield early. Wingard suffered multiple vestings in 2012 (green & red) mainly due to the simple fact the coach didn't know what he was doing half the time. Hinkley is all about the team playing attacking, hard at it, contested footy, and Ollie has been showing those qualities in spades through the pre-season. More likely kermit vest candidates would be Wingard, Stevenson, Heath, Young, Mitchell, Neade

Have taken your advice about Wines, and Lucas has gone. Now, I need to decide between Wines and Koby.
