Smash my team, all advice welcome

[Cunno]

DEF: Goddard, Grimes, Gibbs, Atley, Pittard, Goodes (Vlastuin, Stevenson)

MID: GAJ, Cotchin, Swallow, Dangerfield, Murphy, K. Mitchell, Whitfield, O'Meara (Crouch, Lonergan)

RUC: Cox, Leuenberger (Currie, Rowe)

FWD: Zorko, Rockliff, Wright, Martin, Byrnes, Macaffer (Mayes, Neade)

Cash left: $5,800

Any tips would be much appreciated

[Jukes]

Atley -> Armstrong
Whitfield -> cheap rook (Viney, Jones, Towers, Hrovat etc)
Wright -> Robinson
Spudlett -> Swanny
Byrnes -> Karnezis

?

Jukes, I have a strange feeling you are convincing everyone to drop GAJ for a reason... ;)

Cunno, Drop Leuenberger, either find cash to upgrade him, or bring in a rookie like Daw.
Change Wright to Robinson, someone who is guaranteed points.
Downgrade Atley to either a rookie or Armstrong.

Hope this helps

BACKS: If your after a mid pricer I would consider Armstrong for Atley or I would drop down to a rookie. There are a lot more Rooks in the backline than other areas so the extra cash could be used well elsewhere. I'd look at Terlich from Melbourne.

RUCKS: Keep an eye on Leuey as he is doubtful for round 1. If not you'll need to restructure to get a cheap premo in.

FWDS: Wright is the standout here. I'm not a massive fan, especially when the Crows mids are all fit and firing. I cannot see him getting enough quality midfield time to improve enough. I would look at downgrading him to Karnezis and using the extra cash on either Leuey if he isn't right or to bring Swanny in.

MIDS: Just doesn't look right without Swanny. If you can't afford him I would also look at getting Pendles in. Had an injury interrupted year last year so underpriced and a proven premo.

I liked the look of wright towards the end of last year, but you make a good point. which mid in particular would you suggest to upgrade to swanny?

And I really like what ive seen from whitfield, could score 70+ i reckon, which id take any day for that price. + guaranteed games

completely forgot about terlich in the backline also, my bad hahah

DEF: Goddard, Grimes, Gibbs, Terlich, Pittard, Goodes (Vlastuin, Stevenson)

MID: GAJ, Cotchin, Swallow, Dangerfield, Murphy, K. Mitchell, Whitfield, O'Meara (Crouch, Lonergan)

RUC: Cox, Leuenberger (Currie, Rowe)

FWD: Zorko, Rockliff, Wright, Martin, Byrnes, Macaffer (Mayes, Neade)

Cash left: $414k

Perfect mate. With that cash I would be upgrading Swallow to Swan and then depending on Leuey's fitness using the cash to upgrade him or Wright.

Thats what we want to hear :D

Im really sold on Swallow this year, hopefully with north melbourne youngsters developing around him, he can take the next step to becoming a 110+ player, bit of a risk, but if he doesnt perform, i might just keep a couple dollars in the bank for sideways trading

But Swan will go 130+ :D
If not Swallow then look at Cotchin (he has a reasonably tough start) or Danger. You don't want to miss out when Swan goes 150+ ;)

Really good team, I'd still get Swanny in though.
