Thoughts on the structure/players?

The only real change I would like to make is to go Hartlett>Hep, but I can't find the cash unless I go Macaffer>Fwd rook*

*What even is a Fwd rook?

Jukes

Spudlett to Stants/Lids, HH to Heppell.

113 and 90 to 113 and 96 and spare cash.

Tyes

Sorry Jukes. But I am far to old and stuck in my ways to consider such a deviation from the norm. I don't have Spudlett in Elite if that makes it any better?  :P

Windigo

Good side, dunno about Smith at R1. Maybe a bit too dodgy.  :-\

Overall, pretty solid. But I can't help but wonder where all your cash has gone?  :o

Tyes

Cheers Windi, yeah Smith at R1 is a risk, but playing him there allows me to put Cox forward and get Moloney in at M6. I like the Lions early draw.

Well Swan, Ablett and Boyd together is almost 2 mill. That takes a pretty hefty dint out of the salary cap haha.

yeh agree that smith is a risk at r1 but could pay off, has all the makings of a breakout year just needs to deliver
im not entirely sold on petterd's potential as a cash cow, if he avgs like 50-60 (which i think he will) he will only go up by 80-100k at most, but other than karnzis who you have, there isnt really any other options at that price or lower un less you want to risk varcoe but he's in the same boat as petterd
but rest of the team very nice, i like it, seems like boyd is going under the radar a bit again this year, will definitely be in the top 8 mids by years end
