like the mckenzie pick should be further improved and POD ... first impression is having all 3 of KK scharenberg and mcdonald is a bit too much, watch preseason and pick the best 2 of the 3 and save some cash on cheaper def rookie

I like Aish ... wouldnt be picking crouch or honeychurch though, I would move garlett/ or taylor to mid rookie and allows you mid/fwd link

standard rucks

like your forwards and when ya move garlett/taylor to mid pick up kersten

I rate your team as follows
Def  Iike the  Mckenzie pick not sure about scharenberg though will he be in  the team from round 1
Mids  Very strong includes Thomas as your mid pricer who will be In most teams I also  believe you  need a DPP on your  mid bench.
Rucks 2 great rucks
Fwds Charlie Dixon is  going to improve even more this year.


Overall  a good balanced team that has the odd unique 7.5/10

Def:  I like McKenzie as a unique selection.  He's a bit risky, but had a nice average last year, so hopefully for you he continues that form.  As a Pies fan I doubt that Scharenberg will be ready by the start of the season.  I don't think he's even running yet.  Reports on several of the Pies fans at recent Pies training sessions report Scharenberg as not being present at them.  He could be a good early to mid season downgrade if he gets his feet right.

Mids:  Only real criticism is all your premiums (Ablett, Pendlebury, Selwood & Beams) have the same bye (round 8).  You could look at changing maybe Selwood to a Watson or Griffin.  You shouldn't loose anything in terms of averages and you would have at least one other premium other than Daisy (if his ankle holds out) playing in your Mids come round 8.

Rucks: I like.  Not sure about the Holmes selection, but I'm sure you'll assess that closer to the season.  There was a report earlier this week that NicNat isn't a guaranteed starter for the preseason comp, so watch that in terms his readiness to go round 1.

Fwds: I like this line, you have some nice PODs I think.

Disregarding rookies, as I think there isn't much point in paying much attention to them until teams are named in round 1, I think that's a pretty good team. All lines seem pretty solid, really like your forwards. Not much else for me to say really, good luck for next year :)

Nice team here.  Well structured and not a lot that I can add.

As you would have read in my previous posts just watch to ensure any rookies or cash cows are playing from round 1 so you can get upgrades quickly with the early bye rounds this year.

Well done and Good luck.
