2013 Before The Season Thread

[Baron Greenback]

Thoughts on this team?

B: Goddard, Gibbs, Broughton, Watts, Ellis, B. Goodes, Docherty, Terlich.
M: Swan, Cotchin, Dangerfield, Jack, Moloney, Varcoe, O'Meara, Viney, Vlastuin, Crouch.
R: Jenkins, Leuenberger, Grundy, Sinclair.
F: Cox, Rockliff, Roughead, Jetta, LeCras, Daniher, Patton, Jaksch.

IMO for starters you have too much $$ invested in your forward bench. Put baselined rookies there and then see what you can do with your cash to turn a mid-pricer into a premium.

Cool. Thanks mate. Any recommendations on rookies?

[Baron Greenback]

What about Neade (PtA) and Lee (StK)? Any good?

[valleys07]

What about Neade (PtA) and Lee (StK)? Any good?

A must i think, will be playing in R1 IMO.

Lee im not so sure, depends if Watters plays him when reiwoldt comes into the side?

[Sorry Dude]

Thoughts on this team?

B: Goddard, Gibbs, Broughton, Watts, Ellis, B. Goodes, Docherty, Terlich.
M: Swan, Cotchin, Dangerfield, Jack, Moloney, Varcoe, O'Meara, Viney, Vlastuin, Crouch.
R: Jenkins, Leuenberger, Grundy, Sinclair.
F: Cox, Rockliff, Roughead, Jetta, LeCras, Daniher, Patton, Jaksch.

My main worry is how much time Daniher and Patton will see early on.
I've taken a risk with Watts too.

I would be playing Jenkins as R1 or even as F5 or 6. He will play but won't generate enough score to have h playing that role. I would suggest upgrade to McEvoy, Goldstein or even put Cox there and (dependent on $$$) look at another forward option.

My 2c worth.

That's meant to say wouldn't!

Shit

Your mum is.
But seriously, what do you think OS. I've struggled big time in recent years. Trying to get back up there again.

Looks ok. I'm not sure about a few names like Jetta, Watts, Ellis.

McEvoy would give you that but not the flexibility of dual position. Don't trust Ryder personally. McEvoy is pretty consistent and doesn't have anyone taking the ruck duties away from him like Ryder will. Ryder will play a fair but up forward though as Bellchambers will probably get a longer spell in the rucks. So this means that Ryder could possibly return 'key forward' type numbers. As Tommahawk and Cloke could tell you, it's all duck and no dinner with those blokes.
