B. J.mcveigh, S.Mitchell, C.Enright, M.Suckling, L.Mcdonald, K.Kolodjashnij (Cutler, Fuller)

C. G.Ablett, S.Pendles,  D.Beams, D.Thomas, T.Cotchiin, J.selwood, J.Martin, L.Dustin (A.Morabito, L.Taylor)

R. A.Sandilands, B.Grundy (Thurlow, Nankervis)

F. P.Dangerfield, M.Pavlich, J.Cameron, J.White, J.Hogan, J.Bilings (D.Garlett, M.Honeychurch)

37k left in the kitty

Any thoughts at all would be great.

Thanks in advance

Backs: Pretty conservative, no risks or POD...Suckling should be d5-6.  Not D4 IMO.  Coming off a knee reco will be heavily managed and at risk of being subbed. Defensive rookies are good

M:  Full of premiums which is why your forward line is very weak.  I would get rid of either Cotchin or J Selwood from your initial team and go for someone like Murphy (sub 500k) and use the extra cash to get Dusty Martin in your forward line.  Can always upgrade a rookie to selwood/cotchin once they have made you some $$
R:  Same as me,
F: Too weak for me.  Get D Martin in your side.  J Caddy is another option.  DPP and sub $350k

But hey, for a first ever team, pretty good. Just don't get sucked in to having too many premiums to start.  Its the rookies that make you the $$$ and then you upgrade to premos

Hey buddy, welcome to SC! Here's my take on your team:

D: Slightly risky w/ 2 rookies on field, maybe you should insert someone else at D4 (popular choices are Swallow/Atley)
C: Strong, but very unbalanced re: bye weeks (Wk8/8/8/9/8/8/8/10 - 10/10) You're gonna get wailed wks 9/10!
R: Grundilands - me too.... It's risky!
F: Really drops off after Danger!  You need better options at F2/3/4

You have a little bit of work to do IMO - 5/10

Best of luck with your first season!
