Take 2 ... no Ablett

[mpollock]

DEF: Goddard (m), Gibbs (m), Birchall, Broughton (f), Yarran, B.Goodes (m) - (EMG: Docherty, Terlich (m))

MID: Pendlbury,Dangerfield, Cotchin, Shuey, Ball, O'Meara, Crouch, Viney - (EMG:Moribito, Jones)

FWD: Franklin, Cox (r), Roughead (r), Martin (m), Gray (m), Staker (b) - (EMG: Lee, Growden)

RUCK: McIntosh, Leuenberger - (EMG: Daw, McBean (f))

NOTE:

- Haven't looked at bye as yet
- Rookies may change based on NAB Cup
- Taking slight risk on McIntosh over Goldsack ... nice unique
- No Ablett ... hoping Pendles can match him or at least go close

Appreciate any feedback.

think Gray is out for the first month of the season ::)

Thanks.  Will look at Varcoe, Bock or Menzel if any of them look like being fit for round one.
I think Menzel had a setback as well ...

I initially thought no Ablett and wait for him to drop a bit but he will still be expensive so to bring him in u would have to drop a fellow prem or use lots of cash so I am going to start with him whereas Buddy for me has to wait. Who knows what will work?

Solid Team first up:

Def: Very solid line probably a bit too much so given the amount of rookie defenders that are likely to play . Yarran may have a break out year with New Coach,
Mids: Would prefer to see Ball at M6 rather than M5 just personal
Rucks: Sound POD with Mcintosh compared with other teams,
Forwards: Gary rumoured to be out for first 4 weeks so watch,  Replace with similar priced player. Franklin imo is overpriced for the start of season and maybe an upgrade target, To add to those looking at also consider West Coast pair Kennedy or Nicoski

Couple of suggestions but your team Downgrade a prem back to a rookie
Grab another prem mid if possible.

Just as an aside for you 7 of your current prem/mid pricers have the round 13 bye.

Rate Team 8/10
