Too many mid pricers for mine. It's a very strong back line (most teams I see go for a 3/3 prem/rook split) and very strong ruck but your midfield and forward line suffer as a result. Gibson as M4? No. He was a good pick up last season for $100k but not for $468k.

You've taken three decent mid pricers in the forward line (see also Kennedy and Petterd) but I just think three is too many. Too risky.

I'd downgrade your defence (Newman or Hartlett -> a rookie like vlastuin) and then beef up your forward line or midfield.

Toumpas is over priced and I think there are better rookie midfield options like wines.

Agreed with Jamfrank on this one. The 3/3 lineup in defence also free's up quite a bit of cash which can be splashed into that extra premo mid.

My opnion is to tade out: Gibson, HArtlett, Harper which will give you quite a bit of money to play around with, maybe a rookie fordard, a premo mid and a reasonable forward... like de boer or robbo??
