first team

[jimmytigs]

heres my first try,ive gone a bit thin in ruck to fit in the 5 gun mids,i originally had renouf instead of jenkins & dalziell instead of boyd,prepared to risk that,gone with kruezer & ryder for mpp value but ignoring that in the midfield & only 1 f/b mpp on each line,just dont see value the way it is now to change that,taking a punt on some real crocks in recent years both forward & back(lake,hargrave,connors,bower,byrnes & porplyzia)but if they all line up in rd 1 it will be good,otherwise i will downgrade any of them to someone who is lining up in rd 1,3 top backs,mids & forwards are must haves & i got a real bonus in squeezing in boyd & selwood,will not be choosing any rookies priced above 94,200 this year,last year only heppell shone & swallow was worth feeding,polec,conca,atley,day,bennell,gaff etc etc in the class of 2011 were all useless.

ok here's my brief rundown:
Backs- Top 3 pick themselves. Lake 50/50, and the others NO. Morris on the bench fine and Casley?? 
Mids - Like the idea of strong mids but i think you may be paying a bit too much for Judd and Boyd particularly??
Rucks - Yes are a bit thin and feel you will need to upgrade to 2 premiums to be competitive - bit too much imo.
Fwds- pretty sound but unsure about Byrnes' stablility??

Don't mind the thinking process. Perhaps just watch out for those who will play regularly and early... good luck!  :D

thanks & if your correct about those 3 backs & even byrnes it will free up plenty of cash along with the 54k i think i had left,but assuming west is #1 at cats now & ryder plays every game for bombers as he does & kruezer is a class act wherever he plays im feeling a little better about my rucks,some alternative to jenkins may bob up in preseason which would make it all the stronger,judd & buddy franklin are 2 guys ive been watching for years at sc,even when they suck they score well so ive made them must haves every year,boyd is just a machine at doggies,if casley or another cheap b/f dont bob up i will abandon the mpp strategy this year aside from the r/f,there seems little value in it at all the way it is currently
