[big mac93]

Backs: A bit weak here, wouldn't go with the three rookies and Scharenberg probbly won't play round 1. Would try to get Suckling into this team and change Scharenberg to K Kolodjashnij from GC.

Mids: Premiums look great but maybe try to downgrade Tyson to a cheaper rookie. This will help you improve your backline as I stated above. Fyfe is not in many teams from what I have seen so he could be a good unique option.

Rucks: Be sure to monitor Nic Nat's progress over the pre season, he is still training away from the main group at the Eagles. If fit he is at good value. Would upgrade Longer to Sandilands. I heard Hickey is set to be the number 1 ruckman at the Saints.

Fwds: Looks great. Caddy could have a breakout season so you may want to hold onto him. Motlop has a knee concern and may need surgery so only stick with him if you are sure he is fit for round 1.

DEF bit light in the back, not comfortable playing 3 rookies down back weekly.
MID 5 "premo" route, nice. GAJ/Pendles is perfect. Fyfe to improve, Beams & Daisy too.
RUC NicNat underpriced.
FWD very very strong fwd line, wow. Careful with Motlop though.

Backs: A bit weak here! Heath Shaw could be a dud so look at him in NAB Cup! Like Mitchell and Hanley though. wouldn't go with the three rookies and Scharenberg probably won't play round 1. Would try to get Suckling into this team and change Scharenberg to K Kolodjashnij from GC. Also I don't know much about Jeremy Taylor but I don't know if he will get a game so watch him.

Mids: Premiums look great! Its good to see you have both of Ablett and Pendles and Fyfe could be a star if he gets hes disposal efficiency up. Beams, Thomas and Martin are looking like popular picks as they scream value. You could easily downgrade Tyson to Michie who is proabaly better anyways. Like the pick of Beams though.

Rucks: At the moment Nic Nat is still a risk so look into someone slightly cheaper like Pyke or Lobbe or go slightly more expensive to Leuy but if he is fit by all means start him! Longer shouldn't be in your supercoach team and if you are trying to get a cheapy get Sandi as he is a proven scorer when fit!

Fwds: Very strong here so it kind of makes up for your defence. Would like to see Martin instead of Wingard but that is up too you! Franklin is a gun and could be back too his best! Motlop should be traded for say Gunsten only because he has injured hes knee I think! all I know is he is injured. Caddy and Hogan could both spud it up or both be strong players at the end of the season so watch out!

Backs: First of all you have a weak defence you should not have 3 rookies on the field Scharenberg & Taylor are the ones to get rid of Suckling needs to come in and one other whether you wanted to upgrade to swallow or just keep a rookie like KK
Midfield: Looks great maybe the only change you could do is replace Tyson with Ellis.

Rucks: You Should consider going  Nic nat to Leuey and Longer to Sandi.
Fwds: Motlop to Clark would save you more money apart from that fwds are strong.

Overall:  Team has its strengths and weaknesses  give it a 7/10

[dmac07]

Def: Threestrong premiums, like the shaw pick, dont think enough teams are considering him. Only three premiums and a no mid pricers when there appear not many good rookie picks (mcdonald asie) is risky. 5/10

Mid: Cant fault, pendles/gaj the best two players in the game, a lot going with only one sp this is am advantage, fyfe a good, more unique pick, good rookies 13/15

Ruck: nic nat just gone back for surgery, but you might not have updated this since that came out. Think you need ome of Sandi, Grundy or hmac as second option over longer. 6/10

Fwd: like this line, dont mind the no martin as he will be up and down and can be upgraded too. Wingard, motlop and caddy all have improvement in them, might not all do it this year but all have upside. Wouod go clark or fasolo over hogan but can watch them over preseason. 10/10

Unique: wingard, motlop, fyfe, shaw, longer all somewhat unqiue, like the upside on all of them except longer. 7/10

Cash generation: Some good mid pricers and good mid rookies, might need a little more cash for rookies other lines, ramsay, taylor, broomhead and caneron may struggle. 7/10.

Advice: One of the better teams I have seen. Would maybe look at downgrading a fwd and either upgrading longer, or getting in a much better d4.

Overall: 48/65 (my rating system)

Defence could be extremely risky as there aren't a lot of defence rookies that seem like playing round 1, and you are fielding 3. Sound choices with your premiums though.

Mids are fiiiine

Longer a big risk as R2, don't think he'll score great tbh

Forwards I think are too strong, would drop 1 of them to a rookie and use the cash to upgrade Longer, maybe even drop a 2nd to make another upgrade in defence
