RAVS XXII - DreamTeam 2008 - Advice

[ravadongon]

B: C.Cornes, P.Burgoyne, H.Shaw, B.Jones, Chaplin*, Symes, Proud (Sphanger, S.Thompson)
C: Cross, Priddis, McLean, N.Stevens, Houli, McNamara (Palmer, Bird)
R: Cox, Simmonds (Leuenberger, Meesen)
F: Pavlich, Brad Johnson, T.Cloke, B.Hall, Burton, Tredrea, B.Reid
(Rioli, L.Hansen)

10K in the bank.

Thoughts?

Selection dilemnas:

- Priddis or Rosa?
- McLean or N.Jones?
- McNamara or Coughlan (+ some downgrading in fwds/backs/rucks)?
- B.Hall or Fevola?

*Back-up for Chaplin = J.Graham/Lovett-Murray/Hurn

I'm not sure about Chaplin. I think Mattner and Hurn are better value personally.

Hall over Fevola.
Coughlin over McNamara. I'd look at some of the cheaper options for the forward line to find room.
McLean over Jones.

Nice squad.
Rosa
Jones
McNamara
Hall

Lovett-Murray.

[Tippaz]

good squad (not too dis-similar to mine)

i'd recommend:
- Priddis (got him in mine). i think he average 90-100.
- Jones. i'm seriously looking at Jones. i heard he's been tearing it up in the Nab Challenge games.
- Coughlan. he could be this year's Nigel Lappin. you'd better get him in.
- Hall v Felova. too close to call. i'm seriously looking at 1 of those players too. currently got Fev (Carlton midfield looks good).

* downgrade Chaplin to Hurn/Nicoski/Ellis/Bradshaw/Whelan (stepping stone player). that should get you enough money for Coughlan.

Thanks for the comments, guys.

PAFC - what are your concerns over Chaplin? Don't you think he'll play a similar role to what he did in the finals series?

Tippaz - I reckon Cogs will be good, but I'm still uncertain about whether Richmond will play him straight away. I'm bringing him in if he's named for R1.

N.Jones had a killer P/S (79, 86, 89, 88 - would've possibly been centuries in all games if there'd been normal time).

My tip for the year. Should move into the elite and is superconsistent.

Just got his Tazo in a chip packet - so I'll consider it an omen.
