First time DT - Please rate my team!

[doogz]

Hi All,
Please rate my DT.  This is my first crack, obviously updated after NAB cup.  I am a west coast supporter and I didnt end up picking any eagles.  Where do you think I can squeeze one in?  I was thinking of swapping the Pav for J Kennedy, this may free up funds to swap goddard for Scotland.  Goddard burnt me last year, so I am not the biggest fan of him.  Anyway, here is the team:

Team Name: THe Sahara Broomsticks

Backs: Goddard, Shaw, Deledio, Grimes, Clark, Ellis, Mohr (Smedts, Morris) - 3 guns, 1 mid, 4 rooks
Mid: Pendles, Gazza, Sam Mitchell, M Murphy, Miles, T Mitchell (Clifton, Shiel) - 4 guns, 4 rooks
Rucks: McEvoy, Leuenberger (Giles, Stevo) - 2 Guns, 2 Rooks
Backs: Stevie J, Buddy, Pav, Martin, Christensen, Zoro, Sexton (Treloar, Rowe) - 4 Guns, 1 mid, 4 Rooks

So my starting Side has 13 Guns, 2 Mids and 7 Rooks.

I did have Big Coxy and Sandi in the Rucks, but coxy is starting to get old so I cant see him holding up WCE as well as he did last year.  I did have big Nic Nat initially, but I think he is prone to injury with that shoulder of his, so I will see how he goes before I decide to upgrade. 

Anyway, as it stands this is a pretty safe list (i think) and has good potential.  Anyway, I would like your feedback.

Cheers

Your side has good balance. I like your pick of Mitchell. I think Cox still has a lot to offer and I would consider him. Strong rucks. I've seen a few teams with 1 gun and 1 mid in the rucks. That could strengthen you defence.

A good first up effort..

Great team....... Where is Barlow?

Love Mitchell in the Mids

Don't mind Christensen up there in your Forwards, but given that he has DPP I think you give yourself a second option to change him to midfield if he doesn't work out. Options to get into your Mids with that FWD/MID link are Treloar, Winderlich, Sidebottom or premiums options for one of Murphy/Mitchell

Best WCE would have to be Cox/NicNat in the rucks or Priddis midfield, otherwise you need to have a stab on a young guy Swift/Masten/Gaff and really that isnt a safe option at all. Alternately, you can downgrade a rookie who has gone well up in price to a bottom-priced Rookie from West Coast, just to see their colours in there when the team page loads up
