Just a thought.... if Troy Simmonds gets injured, doesnt that mean that T.Vickery would then step up as the main ruckmen for Richmond.... U had him on your bench originally, but you took him out later. I would be keeping him in

Mate I am fairly new to the fantasy footy caper too, but you look to have a sharp team on paper.
Here is my two bob...
1. Backline - Like many am a big fan of Cornes and Newman now he is at the helm. Would be worried about having 3 Melbourne defenders in my mix, maybe sacrificing a premium for 2 mids may give you more backline stability?
2. Midfield - Looks great, Boak, Cotch, Gibbs are all quality players with major improvement to come. Good work there. Question is whether Cuz and Haze can both hold up in the same side. Hopefully Rich and Danger will work as cash cows for you to update later if required to premiums.
3. Rucks - As mentioned, watch NM closely. Petrie, Hale and McIntosh all in one side must be scrutinised. Hale could go forward with Mac and Petrie rotating centre bounces. Not sure. Not a lot of value in the rucks IMO but think that Cox is still a must have for all teams. McEvoy a good choice. He is StKilda's No3 ruckman now behind the ageing King and Gardiner. Blake will get chucked in occasionally but McEvoy has done his VFL apprentiship and should get games.
4. Forwards - Look a bit shakey. Pav, Reimers and Vesz ok ( Vesz is SC worst kept secret! ) Too many players coming off injuries. Bench is great, will increase your value. Maybe consider some mid priced up and comers like Josh Kennedy from WC and Jack Reiwoldt. I believe someone at the Pies outside of Rocca, Cloke, Thomas and Davis will go well in their forward line too this year. Watch for Rusling, Dawes, Macaffer, Anthony and Reid in the NAB. One of them will be in my side after preseason is dusted.
But overall, you are on the right track and have at least 10-12 players that would be on most team lists. Nice work and good luck!
I might post my team now and see what people think too!!!

Hmmm, good point, but if he 'doesn't' get injured, then isn't it a waste?

3. Rucks - McEvoy a good choice. He is StKilda's No3 ruckman now behind the ageing King and Gardiner. Blake will get chucked in occasionally but McEvoy has done his VFL apprentiship and should get games.

Um, I don't have McEvoy, but thanks for the tip!
