Not considering a player like Hanley could come back to bite you. I understand the concern with so many Brisbane players though.

Staker is injured as far as I know - and you should look to replace him. Try to free up some cash to get Yarran (or equiv) in there as D4.
Pavlich is not the best choice imo - he's very highly priced and is coming back from injury if I recall correctly. Probably better suited to mid-year upgrade target if he's firing. I would straight swap him to Rockliff and laugh all the way to the bank.

Not a bad side, just needs a few tweaks here and there.

Good luck.

Was unaware of the Staker injury. I will find a replacement. Are there any other mid pricers people would recommend?

[MC]

Mid pricers (under 450k) that people are generally considering:

Def: Broughton/Harbrow/Yarran/Atley/Ellis/Otten
Mids: D Swallow/Ziebell/Young/Lower/Rischitelli/Beams(Claye)/Caddy/Ball/Embley
Ruck: Leuenberger
Fwds: Dahlhaus/Cloke/Wellingham/Christensen/Higgins/LeCras/Siposs/Bock/Varcoe/Byrnes


That's about it. Might have missed one or two, but this is a fair indication of the mid pricers that people are looking at/
