$9 700 left over, can justify any of the more unique selections
I was all set to explain why I thought Byrnes wasn't a good pick but then I had a look at his VFL stats this year...there are some promising numbers. All the same, he'll be 29 at the start of next season and has only played 9 AFL games in 2 years so you'd want to see some decent scores in the NAB before committing.
I've still got bad memories about having Sylvia in 2011 but he averaged 92 in the back end of this season so there's probably a bit of value there. You'll have to explain your reasoning about Atley because I don't see anything that makes me think he'll be a worthwhile mid-pricer.
Also, I have serious reservations about Viney playing early. Another Couch situation could be on the cards there. Aside from that, your midfield structure isn't for me but it could work out well if things go your way.
All in all, a pretty good side.
Byrnes is there because I think a new club will do him well. I picked him ahead of grey because I think he might take a bi to get back. Sylvia I believe could be a great pod but that will depend on nab and dpp alottments. Atley I think is going to have a real good year. Running back who I think will get more responsibility this year down back. Tossing up between him and Howard with them being similar types and prices. Viney is a rook and they are subject to change
I have gone that mid structure because I am unsure on which premos to pick besides those two
Cheers but mr craig

What do you guys think?
I think you need to switch Robinson for a power forward like Stevie J or Buddy, but other than that not bad at all.
Robinson is good but he can have some really off games for some reason.

I wouldn't necessarily say that. 2 of his 3 bad scores this season were on his return from injury. Aside from that he was really consistent. My concern is that he tends to have brain snaps, he was very lucky not to get suspended several times and it wouldn't shock me if he gets rubbed out for 3 or 4 weeks at some point. If you can live with that possibility then go for it.
The main reason I said to switch is because the rest of the forwards are mid priced other than Robbio and Stanley. I feel Lewis could be a bit iffy aswell, but with a Stevie or Buddy it wouldn't look so bad to me anyway.
Cheers guys. Robinson will most likely become one of buddy or rocky if he gets dpp. Not sold of Johnson, reckon he will get limited midfield time while they develop the youth, if he fires upgrade target for sure
Just be a little careful of rocky too. He may not get a whole heap of midfield time with Moloney there now too.
