Scotland is missing Round 1 with suspension so no point in starting him; just start with someone equally priced then switch come round 2 if you want.
Get Pittard over Vlastuin or Docherty (at this stage)
Good Mids, personally I have crush on Beamer so I would take him over Boyd and I would try and get Wines in there without moving Omeara or Viney
Why Chappy? I'd take Robbo or Zorko personally

Vlastuin for Pittard sounds good, saves a bit of coin... Picked Chappy because they say he's doing well on the track and given he had an injury cloud last year and still pumped out an avg of 97.5 hopefully a fully fir chappy can do even better... Zorko seems like a lot to pay for a second year player, hasn't proven his worth in my eyes yet... Would be more likely to consider changing him for Franklin or Stevie J

oh yeah, sorry, didn't realize you didn't already have Stevie J, get him over Zorko then

Made a few changes, got rid of scotland and chappy, beefed up through the middle and employed more of a guns and rooks strategy...

BACKS: B Goddard, B Gibbs, D Heppell, S Atley, J Pittard, B Goodes (S Docherty, D Terlich)
MIDS: G Ablett, M Boyd, S Pendlebury, B Deledio, S Selwood, B Stanton, O Wines, J O'Meara, (B Crouch, J Viney)
RUCKS: A Sandilands, M Leuenberger (J Ceglar, D Currie)
FWDS: D Cox, S Johnson, T Rockliff, S Mayes, B Staker, B Macaffer (S Kerridge, T Lee)

I think this is a bit better

I would consider trading Sellwood for Embley, you should loose a lot of points but you get 180k.

I would try to get Martin into your forward line probably instead of Mayes, although if you like Mayes, Lee's preason form has been average.

Back line looks very good, I like Atley as a POD. I still think your forward line is one Premium short.

I would consider getting Swan in your team as a lock in Captain, apparently he has had a great preseason.

Swapping Stanton, Mayes, Sellwood for Fyfe, Martin, Embley I think overall improves your side, although I understand the logic of picking Stanton due to the face that Goddard and Watson will probably get the tag before him.

I reckon S Selwood is going to be up there this year, dont want to let him go, but agree forward line is weak, how about this?
