Hey TALKINGFOOTBALL.net,

Can we make this thread a "sticky" like the time capsule thread???

[Plugg3r]

Only 4days 7hrs 32mins until Lockout
Can ya feel it?

[Tohz87]

Yeh, you guys had better make sure that your teams are updated coz last season i forgot and had 1 less player and didnt get any points in rd 1......

[Lions_Master]

I'm looking forward to this. Been working around with the team and putting different ideas together. Hoping to have a fun season!

[DonzFC]

someone tie my hands so i stop tinkering

[Plugg3r]

Wonder why I haven't posted my most recent team?
Thats why!
Critisism is great until you kill yourself over it.

and good luck everyone.
may the best dt coach hold aloft the trophy in early september.

we should start posting out rd1 lineups now.

i'm contemplating a few late changes amongst my reserves
my current squad (and most likely my final squad):

B - J.Bowden, C.Jones, Welsh, A.Walker, Birchall, Adcock, Koschitzke [Ellis, N.J.Brown]
C - Ball, Hodge, Tuck, Rischitelli, Griffen, Pendlebury [Selwood, Thomas]
R - Cox, Hudson [Griffin, Renouf]
F - B.Johnson(c), Hall, Pavlich, Ablett jr, Monfries, N.G.Brown, Franklin [Davey, Campbell]

N.J.Brown needs attention. i don't like the look of the min. wage backs at all. Riggio and Hartlett seem non-statistical, and i don't trust them. i might punt on someone else. Alan Toovey looks interesting.
Very disappointed with the Kangaroos leaving out Aaron Edwards. I will re-assess the situation, but early signs not good.
Mr.X of the eagles didn't quite make the cut. If there's any major change to my starting 22 it will be in the centres. i would love to get him in there somehow, so i will work tirelessly throughout the night going over hundreds of combinations.
Brad Johnson is captain because he is my most expensive player. I intend to leave it with him for the first 3 rounds. After that, the player with the highest average will be my weekly captain. I played to this system last year and it turned out to be a great success.
Emergencies are Ellis/Selwood/Davey

[Clocktower]

B - Bowden, Jones, Johncock, Johnson, Jones, Koschitzke, Boyle, Ellis
C - Judd, Mclean, Haselby, Moloney, Lappin, Gibbs, Rodan, Selwood
R - Cox, Sandilands, Hudson, Griffin
F - Brown. J, Pavlich, Johnson, Hall, Aker, Brown. N, Davey, Jetta, Campbell

I've changed my backs a bit, as I reckon their are enough good prospects to trade if Kosi gets injured, and I want all reserves to get games.
I may also consider changing the team name to something begining with J, as over half my teams first or last names start with it.
