rate my team!!

Here is my team before the NAB Cup begins. I am sure there will be plenty of changes before the home and away season begins.

TEAM NAME: Whatagreatteam
DEF: B. Goddard, B. Gibbs, G. Birchall, K. Jaksch, J. Pittard, S. Docherty (D. Van Unen, D. Terlich)
MID: D. Swan, G. Ablett jnr, D. Beams, M. Boyd, J. Redden, S. Mayes, N. Vlastuin, J. O'Meara (M. Jones, J. Viney)
RUC: D. Cox, J. Roughead (M. Daw, J. Witts)
FWD: S. Johnson, T. Rockliff, D. Martin, C. Knights, J. Stringer, J. Daniher (T. Lee, B. Kennedy)
CASH LEFT: $63,000

my thoughts on why...
No leuenbeger, want to wait until he is match ready. According to the website Footy Tragic training pre season report on Jan 28 is easing his way to full fitness and expecting to play last 2 games of pre season.

No Franklin, has missed games in the past two years because of injury and his stupidity. Played 16 and 19 games in the past two years. Want players that are more durable.

No Macaffer, has played 4 games in the past 2 years. Is he in Collingwoods best 22? Wait and see.

Brisbane player S.Mayes (f/c) and Richmond player N.Vlastuin (b/c) chosen as midfielders allows DPP without using a trade. I know this year there are plenty more trades but it may mean avoiding a donut when I am forced to trade due to injury, suspension, general soreness, players stupidity (eg. Heath Shaw).

I like the team but think that you really should start the year off with buddy in your team. He is a gun and i think he is going to have his best season to date.

Also think that the money you would save from going roughy to leuy would make a nice upgrade of Knights

Sorry but I disagree Franklin is a hack, he would of averaged 95 if it wasnt for that biggie and will average around that this yeat

Just downgrade Roughead to Leuenberger and have fun with the extra $$$$$

You cant just say "if it wasnt for that biggie" it is lance franklin, he has biggies. Franklin will be out to prove a point this year and in a big way.

Roughie to leuy and knights to franklin IMO
