Oh my God, I think I'm going midprice

I usually stay away from midpricers like the plague, but I can't seem to help myself this year; the sub rule has got me running scared from the rookies I'd usually flock to, the bye has got me wanting better bench cover than usual and to actually value DPP links, and the extra trades make me think I can actually get away with this for one year only....

As they will line up in Rd 1:

Backs:  Goddard, Gibbs, Deledio, Broughton, R Shaw, Adcock, Lower     (Stanley, Coad, Duigan)

Mids:  Swan, Anthony, Palmer, Ward, Foley, Krakouer  (Hibberd, Harris, Bewick)

Rucks:  Cox, Vickery    (Fraser, Hale)

Fwds:   N Riewoldt, Green, Harvey, Stevie J, M Morton, Knights, Richardson  (Petrie, Matera, Darling)

About 15k in the bank.

I am relying on Anthony to be a keeper, and I hope Morton or Knights will be a keeper 7th forward and that R Shaw or Adcock will be a keeper 7th back.  All the other non-guns I expect to upgrade- but I expect to not need to pay too much to upgrade them.

I think relying on Z Smith and guys like Bailey as ruck cover is playing with fire.  The one problem this team should never have is ruck cover...

Am I crazy?  Am I forgetting about a great midpricer that should replace one of these guys?  (not Zaharakis, don't rate him as likely to improve that much)
