Would appreciate your thoughts guys ,Cheers

TEAM NAME: goyougoodthing71
DEF: B. Goddard, P. Hanley, B. Waters, M. Suckling, B. Wilson, S. Docherty (C. Howard, M. Scharenberg)
MID: S. Johnson, D. Swan, G. Ablett jnr, S. Selwood, D. Beams, J. Kelly, J. Billings, J. Aish (C. Beams, J. Martin)
RUC: B. Grundy, B. Longer (D. Currie, R. Lobb)
FWD: T. Rockliff, M. LeCras, L. Franklin, S. Higgins, C. Sinclair, T. Boyd (V. Michie, J. Hogan)
CASH LEFT: $22,200

A few risky pics , both Wilson and Sinclair are ripping it up at pre season so far and should get early game time according to a friend I have at the club.
I think Grundy is the #1 ruck option at Collingwood and showed last year his potential so should improve and be the surprise in the rucks this year !
Howard has huge upside if he can stay fit and is highly regarded at the bulldogs who I think will be big improvers this year.
And if Currie gets his chance at north which he should , could be a great cash cow !
The smokie is Higgins , we all know what he can do and in an improving team and I think 14 games under the roof could be a great pic ? (and cheap!!!)
Would appreciate your thoughts on these players , thanks , Brad.

Binga

Get rid of Karnezis. Plus you have too many high priced rookies. Trade Billings or Aish for Martin (GC).

Jukes

Return of my famous rating system :P still an imperfect system for this season, however, as research is much lower by me.

Likes
Fair few solid uniques (at this stage, at least) in there: Selwood, Masten, Lecca, Wilson...eagles fan? haha (on further research I discovered that you are! surprised you don't have Nic and/or Cox!)
Also Grundy, Grimes and Higgins are good picks imo
Pretty solid selection of rookies, aside from Boyd who imo will be far overpriced for his potential compared to other rooks

Dislikes
Swan and Ablett- need not elaborate
Don't let bias consume you- there's a fine line between favouring your team because you love them and see them as jets (like me w/ having Heppell, Stants and Watto in my team) and being stupid (me picking up Leroy Jetta)
Not really a dislike, but that ruck stock could explode in your face very quickly. Could.

Ratings
D: 8/10
M: 7.5/10
R: 7/10 (risk factor)
F: 8/10
Overall: 7.5/10* pretty solid, just take note on bias haha

*I haven't really had a great scope on teams so far so the rating is kind of inaccurate.
