Team looks really good untill you get to the forwards.

Backs - I would run with just check and make sure your 5 rookies (100k players) will get games. Which i think they will.

Mid - Great, pretty standard although Mitchell is a nice pick and also murphy over judd this year i like. Rookies once again make sure they will play could maybe get mc donald should play games as a seniour player even if he just makes it to the bye!

Rucks - Awesome can't fault it best 1 - 2 combo in the league when firing.

Fwds - where to start.... Martin good pick looks like everyone is jumping on board so can't fault that. Waite is a NO misses to many games through injury and suspension, sucks everyone in every year, you can find better. Brown good but still risky watch NAB Saad, Zorko & Hampton all good you'll just have to wait and see. Could leave your self short if the seniour guys don't put there weight in the FWDS!!

Overall 7.5 mainly due to poor fwds but everything else is standard and solid :)

Thanks Greco I realize the forwards are a bit well lets say weaker but I have gone for a stronger Ruck, Mid as I have found in the past i get more value from them than rucks. But I will keep what you said in mind

I totally agree with that plan of attack.

Rucks are so valuable and mids. I think if you could just find a replacement for Waite your team will look great.

His a great player but he just might let you down come crunch time.

Would Dangerfield be a better option than Waite?

When posting teams can you also advise how much cash you have available as it assists in giving options. In your case your forawrd line needs a litttle work but do not want to suggest downgrades if you have 90/100k in kitty.

Ringo you make a very sound comment regarding money in the bank, but in my case it is next to zero. all I have left is $700
cheers mate

Possibly. As a Crows supporter I've been waiting for Danger to really explode for a couple of seasons now, and he hasn't quite got there. Part of the problem last year was Craig's policy of parking him in a pocket, hopefully Sanderson will give him more time in the middle.

As to SC, I've been a little burned by him in the past, but if he can spend a bit of time in the mids this year (and stop hurting himself) then I'd definitely prefer him over Waite.
