Love it apart from thebackline. Don't think any of those players will be top 8 in defence

Montagna is suspended 1st round. Chappy is risky but if his body holds up, can score big - watch over pre-season to see how he holds up. Like Griffen especially since he has now been made captain of the dogs. Unsure whether Fasolo is in the pies top 22 - would have to wait until round 1 to see whether he plays or not. Really strong midfield.

Do not like that backline. Grimes and Greene have to become top backman
Wayyyyy too strong in midfield
Dont think HMac is a good option at R2, especially when Sandi is R1
Daisy is apparently not going to be eligible in the forward line :(

I would do this:
Swan, Griffen, Montagna OUT
Rockliff + 2 rookies IN

Grimes, Greene OUT
Mitchell, McVeigh IN

HMac OUT
Goldstein (or other top premo ruck) IN

Thomas OUT
Dangerfield IN

I'm pretty sure that should all be affordable, and makes your team a lot better IMO

Doesn't sound like Nic Nat going to be duel position

[Ringo]

Couple of issue in addition to those identified by GL,

McBean is a forward only - If you want the R/F DPP then replace with Thurlow if not just another rookie ruck.

Maybe now move Nic Nat to Ruck with him being ruck only. Then look atMitch Clarke as an alternate forward mid priced as well.

Also doubt whether Hogan and Martin will be rookie priced so may have issues there.

I would try and keep Griffen though in mids as it will suit bye structure but agree way to heavy in mids at the expense of other lines.

Backs: Need to get Sam Mitchell in there instead of Grimes Scharenburg & bring in Mcdonald
Mids: Downgrade Montagna to a rookie
Rucks: I would put Nic Nat here instead of Mcintosh

Fwds: Replace Nic Nat with Dangerfield either Clark or Dixon for Thomas

Overall team is not too bad although a few changes are needed you will need to save money if you to keep both  Martin and Hogan in the team as they are going to be in the high $200000.  7/10  due to the average defence
