Hey all, would you please be kind enough to rate my team and give me some advice. This is just a rough draft of me team but to be honest, I'm pretty happy with it.

Backs: Goddard, Scotland, Enright, Shaw, Lake, Clarke, Darley (Docherty, Ellis)

Midfield: Pendlebury, Ablett, Thompson, Coniglio, Shiel, Magner (McDonald, Mitchell)

Rucks: Cox, Giles (Redden, Stephensen)

Forwards: Franklin, Goodes, Chapman, Beams, Martin, Porplyzia, Hall (D. Smith, Hampton)

All opinions welcome!

Good team...apart from a few small things.

Docherty and Mitchell are looking very doubtful for Round 1 starts. They will probably be handy downgrade targets later in the season. As discussed on the Coaches Box last night, Dayne Beams has seemingly fallen off the face of the Earth. He hasn't played a pre season match and if the information is to be believed hasn't even made an appearence at training. Way too risky until we get some understanding of what the heck is going on with him. Sidebottom, Fyfe, Pav - all good replacements.

You've cheaped out on your mids and rucks to pay for your forwards and mids, a strategy which has the potential to work but you might find your team making a slower start to the season before making up ground later.

Hard to give any solid suggestions without knowing the amount of cash you have left but if it was me I'd downgrade Beams to one of the players I mentioned, downgrad Porps to a rookie, downgrad Scotland to say Birchall or Heppell and see if you can slot a 4th premium into your mids.

Apart from mitchell I can see the potential of your mid rooks, if they do get off to a flyer I'd upgrade them asap and you'll prob have a pretty handy team come round 7-8.

Yeah I'd get rid of docherty and beams too apart from that ntb 7.5/10.
