First crack at a team - hoping to get in the top 5000 this year

[tferrier18]

Hey guys, whipped up my first team using the Fanplanner just before. This will probably change dramatically! Finished 9,500th or so this year, hoping to crack the top 5000.

Backs: Goddard, Deledio, Bock, Drummond, Hurley, Houli, Otten
(Isles, Grimes, Toy)

Mids: Selwood, Cross, Boak, Foley, D Swallow, Bennell
(Caddy, Libba, Wallis)

Rucks: Sandi, Petri
(Charman, Smith)

Fwds: Riewoldt, Harvey, Goodes, Sidebottom, Jetta, Pettard, Knights
(Darling, Lamb, Matera)

Couple of things I'm aware of that might hurt me:
-3 essendon players
-No Swan/Ablett in mids

Will probably trade Pettard or Knights for a rookie and use the money to upgrade:
-Bock and Hurley, maybe Sidebottom or Jetta

Let me know what you think, would love to get some feedback. I think it's ok for a first draft, feels unique..

it looks ok, not sure about putting houli and hurley on the same line being in the same team

also could do with some mpp linking the mids and backs and mids and forwards

Thanks for the advice! Going to look to include mpp with goddard/deleidio...
Definitely looking to keep Houli over Hurley (haha try saying that fast 10 times) so I'll see who I can drop to upgrade him at this stage.

Do you think the midfield is a little too weak?

i like it all except cross, a little too expensive, will wait for him to come down a bit
