Overall pretty good side.  Not sure that Scharenberg is a good selection though.  As a Pies fan I've been following the reports from pre-season training for Collingwood and as far as I know Scharenberg isn't even attending training sessions to run laps yet.  Even if he is fit to play round 1 I doubt it will be in the senior side.  He would be a good mid-season downgrade target though.

Def: You are a bit lie here with 3 rookies Scharenberg is no certainty to play early games i doubt whether he is 100 per cent yet.I would at least bring Suckling into your team
Mids: Midfield is pretty solid probably spent a bit too much here
Rucks: May need to leave Nic Nat out and Bring Lobbe in i can't see you losing points with that move
Fwds: Just don't like Gary Rohan If Kersten gets a game early on then i save money and get him in.

Overall: Your team needs to be  thought out properly as your defence is weak with only 3 premiums and no mid pricers.Bartel may play more forward this year which may cut his scoring so you may want to look at other options e.g Thompson. I give your team a 7/10

probably wont have bartel but no issue there,im steering clear of high price rooks so your 4th & 5th backs are not in my game plan,i guess nab challenge will decide yes or no on aylett,other 4 backs pick themselves

cotchin very disappointing last year,martin/aish see above,2 saints kids i dont think so,might have dunstan,all the hype has him getting a gig,other 4 premiums & polec get a tick

im in the sandi hmac camp with grundy possibly in mix,steering clear of nicnat & similar priced,the rookies are a nab challenge wait & see id hope

fasolo & rohan might hurt scoring,i cant have rohan,rest looks fine,maybe look at wingard rather than martin or buddy,he looks the real deal
