I’ve been handing out a lot of comment about other people’s teams and at the risk of giving the game away to everyone I’m playing in leagues against I’ve decided to publish my boys. For the last month they have been changing daily so I have no doubt that this team will look very different to the one that takes the park at the first bounce of Round 1 but as of today it is:
Backs – Goddard, Enright, Hodge, MacDonald, Malceski, Hunt, Waters (Farmer, Davis)
Mids – Ablett, Murphy, Harvey, McVeigh, Trengove, Martin (Barlow, Bastinac)
Rucks – Petrie, Naitanui (Warnock, Skipper)
Forwards – N Riewoldt, O’Keefe, Giansiracusa, Tippett, Hall, Dangerfield, Ziebell (Rockliff, Podsiadly)
$1,200 in the bank.
OK, let the tearing down begin.

$1200 in the bank?! ….. very careful budgeting Motts!
not too much point mentioning it because it will change again and again, but i have $0 left
Not a bad side Mottsy. Cant wait to tear them apart. Please Supercoach Gods, PLEASE let me have him round one…
Your Focus is to heavy on DPP. I won to high ranked comps last year and never needed a DPP. Also no Banner & Shuey, this will provide good upgrade $$$. Also where did you pull the expensive O’Keefe from was this your last minute decision on Pav’s poor scores?
Why harvey in the midfield, he is gettin on and very injury prone. Go for a gun, Prismall is over his injury from last year played 12 games at a avg of 88 , not bad for his first season at essendon. Why no BROWN this guy is going to star this season. Fev is going to have too many problems off field his form will slip. Brown will be the fwd that the mids will be aiming for.
personally i have gotten off the idea of mcveigh and changed him for dangerfield. i still think having two rookies in your midfield is a big risk and won’t score highly, trengrove more so. in the forward line o’keefe seems to pricey at the moment and either scores a lot or nothing. and gia is a risk but you could look like a genius. still aren’t on the hall bandwagon, i’m just not feeling it. i say have either skipper or warnock, not both, save the cash as it looks like you need some in the bank. otherwise i reckon you’ve nailed it and with ablett who knows! i rate it a 9 out of 10
mine at the moment goes
backs: goddard, macdonald, gram, waite, kennelly, hunt, ladson, em: waters, silvani
mids: selwood, mitchell, harvey, hodge, dangerfield, martin, em: barlow, shuey
rucks: petrie, hille em: skipper, mcnamara
forwards: riewoltd, paclich, franklin, tippett, r murphey, ziebell, medhurst, em: rockliff gumbleton

Petrie missing 2 games is a penalty of 5ppg over the year assuming your coverage scores 50ppg and he averages 90ppg. It doesn’t look like much, but 2 games is a big penalty.
Motts,
A chance to return fire………your team is solid however there seem to be a few glaring issues (and i’m assuming as you have mentioned you are aiming at the grand prize rather than league glory)
Supercoach Superstar rating- 7.5-8/10 and here’s why………………..
Backs:
With Malceski and Hunt still carrying some risk returning from injury you seem light on for back up. Then you have Waters starting??? Davis probably won’t make the crows round 1 team and Farmer is still a bit of an unknown. With Malceski pulling out of tonights nab challenge match with Hammy tightness it highlights potential problems for you there if the especially fragile Waters goes down….
Mids:
Harvey is pushing the age barrier and whilst i love him he is a risk of being injured. Also he may end up spending less time on the ball as North start to introduce more young recruits through the middle. Murphy is still blowing out cobwebs after a minimal pre-season and whilst he may score ok, I’m not convinced Mcveigh will be a heavy scoring mid. So it begs the question- in the most important section of your team do you really have the capability to consistently score heavily enough???
Rucks:
No problems seen there….
Fwds:
Certainly is solid but will it consistently score well? O’keefe is a notorious slow starter. Gia is a gamble at that price.
if you want the big dollars then you need the big scores consistently- 2200-2400. Good effort but i think there’s room for improvement Mottsybaby!
(Also think you are toying with us and that is not your real team)
thanks super star for the critique. i dont like podsiadly at all. much rather stick with gumby who surely must be ready to play. i believe dangerfield spend plenty of time in the midfield and will go up. i had mcveigh since the start but got off the bandwagon although im a bombers man. so im sticking with hille all the way. harvey at his price will rise i’d reckon. as for pavlich, his consistent and if he gets 100 every week i’ll be happy. and finally medhurst, his almost out the door on my team. just not sure who to take yet. thanks again SS
OK, here’s my thoughts on your team Motts. I won’t comment on your emergencies, because I’m sure they’ll be changeable right up to the 1st round selections.
Backs – 1st 4 are all very reliable. Personally think Goddard is a bit overpriced, however, half time in the gf, he’s racking the possies up, so I may need a re-think. Agree with a comment earlier, Hunt Malceski and Waters is dicey waters for me. 7/10
Mids – Again, 1st 3 are super but then it drops off pretty fast. I’m all for making the cash in the middle this year with rookies. It’ll either be buckets or roses. 7/10
Rucks – Good choices there. Both have the potential not only to make money, but also consistantly score well. May be lacking someone of genuine quality. I had Pettrie, found out he was out for the 1st 2 weeks, swapped him for Jolly. Amazingly, nearly all of Jolly’s dull scores were at the SCG. Big things loom for him this year. 7/10
Frwrds – By far your strongest area of the ground. You’ve got potentially 4 100+ gamers a week. I have my doubts about Rod D, but should at the very least, make some cash. Gia is being pumped up, I’m not completely sold on him, but hey, should go ok. 9/10
Overall – 7.5/10. Prob a bit of a harsh score. I guess you’ve got 10-11 regular 100+ point scorers, with the others chipping in here and there. But hey, what do I know, I live i Spain.
Motts – I cant get my head around the fact that you dont have any Collingwood players in your team… Surley Travis Cloke should be at full forward?
How can you not put Swan in there Motts.. the man averages 40 posessions a game.
Did you see the pies kicked 27 goals against Port Yesterday. I think the Bulldogss are already sh*ting themselves about Round 1 at Ethihad.
Motts,
Mcveigh is going to miss round 1 due to suspension, meaning you have to put barlow or bastinic on the ground which means you will have 3 rookies playing?
Hey Motts (and everybody else),
Could you cast your eyes over my team and leave a few comments (and maybe a rating overall), would really appreciate it:
Backline:
Goddard, Hodge, Enright, Hunt, Ladson, Waters, Maguire
(Emerg. Allen, J and Howard, C)
Mid-field:
Ablett, Dal-Santo, Pendlebury, Dangerfield, Palmer, Trengove

Mottsy, im liking petrie but as i found out this mornin he’s suspended for rounds 1 and 2. i think im just going to sub robbie warnock on and wait it out. drew is way too good to trade. are u doing something similar or getting rid of him completely????? xo
He’s gone, Dexy. See the Motts’ Dilemma post for where my mind is currently at.
