Concerned about/Not having enough money to move for my forward line starting rookie and bench. Might have to remove Masten from midfield and have two rookie starters there too free up more forward line money. This year the midfield really looks like the place to punt on rookies in my opinion.

Thanks in advance for any input.

You are spot on regarding better rookies in the midfield.

I'm not a fan of Masten so you could perhaps use the money for another rookie IMO.

Nice backline and overall a pretty good side subject to NAB Cup form, etc.

Much better side Sams Town! Good job! ;D

Hiya Heater yeah I am thinking that too Masten is good but more of a dream team player I think. He really has to improve on Kicking efficency which is around 63% Depending on Nab cup might get Melksham in there. Cheers mate.

Hi,

I'd personally keep masten, and downgrade burgoyne (not fully fit) to Trengove.

With the $210,000 you can either:

a - upgrade masten to a prem mid like (Boyd, Vince, etc)

b - upgrade Gilbert to Goddard, and upgrade Hawkins to (Higgins, Gian, or Silvia) or Rioli to (Pavlich, Higgins, Gia, etc)

What do you think?

Thanks Mike you put forward a very good point. It is definetly worth considering. Cheers mate I am going to take it inot account but have promised myself no more tweaking till at least after a few NAB cup games ;D
