Defending champion, set to repeat?

[Canuck]

Have a look Gents, pretty happy with my stud/rookie setup with a few mid-priced smokeys:

D: Goddard, Enright, Deledio, Grimes, Hargaves, Spurr, Morris (Bugg, Baguley)

Mids: Swan, Boyd, Ablett, Sloane, J. McDonald, Shiel (Magner, Gibson)

Ruck: Sandi, McIntosh (Giles, Stephenson)

F: S. Johnson, Buddy, Fyfe, D. Martin, Christensen, Winderlich, Pfeiffer (Rowe, Hall)

82k left in the bank.

Thoughts?  I feel like my D is a little thin but the mids and forwards more than make up for it.  Plus it gives me a ton of room to upgrade.  All comments appreciated.

Pretty good. Might as well Giles over H_Mac.

Everyone is on the Sloane train now... Good side with some alright rookies...

Wouldn't be surprised to see Stevie.J drop in price early on, might be better as an upgrade target. You could take Chapman or Goodes instead and then have the cash to push Sloane to Rocky, Selwood, Murphy etc...or upgrade the risky Grimes to someone like Birchall.

not convinced in sloane... why take the gamble when for 80k extra you can guarentee 100+ weekly

Good point, I was actually thinking about Beams in place of SJ, but everyone seems fairly lukewarm towards him despite how strongly he finished the season last year.  Its also nice to have a unique member of the forward line.  No one else keen on Beams?

Then again Steve J can pump out some massive scores so I'm almost rather jump on him early and have him for the season.

Alot of risks there mate, hopefully they work for you. :)

And can you explain teh defending champ bit in your title, are you the winner of DT 2011 or something?? :P
