Been tinkering with my team a lot over the last few days and I'll think I will stay at this to later Jan. The rookies are just gap fillers for the time being. Would love to know people's thoughts on the team. Thanks in advance.

Good team here mate.
Not sure on Birchall as I think he won't really improve where as I think Walker/Hibberd at the same price will. I'm not sold on Newnes just yet but see where you are coming from as he could go 90-95 this year which is great for a defender.
Midfield is great but not sure with Dangerfield with contract talks over his head.
Rucks are amazing wish I could afford them without ruining my team :P
Can't fault that forward line.

[Ringo]

Great team with a different structure than most.

As with us all defence is our headaches. Not sure on Newness yet need to watch in preseason.

Only slight issue I have with the set and forget rucks are that you will burn trades with injuries, Will be OK if a playing rook surfaces though. May want to consider a R/F in forward line to use Read's DPP. Your decision though.

Hopefully with your structure in mids you have 3 playing rookies from the 6 each week.

Hard to fault this squad here Swans15.
With Gaz,Pendles and Fyfe all sharing the same bye, I would possibly go downgrade Fyfe a little the upgrade Newnes to a prem.

Top job !

[crowls]

Really like this team .

Defence is difficult line and hibberd hodge simpson walker all options for consideration.   probably go hodge for dpp

Mids are super strong but bye is issue  Think more upside to Cotchin than Danger.  Or consider Tyson kicking on to premier 110+
Good forward line
.  looks like me you dont trust dusty.     Agree with other comments consider bellchambers for ruck coverage.   NicNat could go down at drop of the hat.

[swans15]

Thanks for the feedback guys. I'm not really interested in Belly atm and am hoping a playing rookie ruck pops up under 200k. Fingers crossed!

Really like this team now that you've strengthened the backline up with an extra premo, but still a fair bit of doubt surrounding Whitecross, and if he doesn't come up there's no one else around his price you could easily switch to, which will probably screw around with your structure.
I would have gone a different way with fwd premo choices but that's each to their own, can't really fault choosing Buddy/Gray

[swans15]

I'm picking them with the intention of Swan, Gray, Franklin all being top 5 forwards. Can see the doubt with Whitecross job security so hoping he gets games, if not I might have to do a few downgrades in midfield.

[sammy123]

Zac jones will get games for sydney little cheaper than whitecross incase he does't plays

[Money Shot]

Great side mate well done.

This will probably be the team I go with into round 1. Swan hasn't shown anything this preseason that shows any indication he will go anywhere near 100 so I've replaced him with Bonts who I reckon can go at least 90+.


Note**** Priddis is just a placeholder atm, I have someone else <600k in mind.

Nice team and good structure:   If you need money then Lumumba is a good swap for one of shaw, smith or simpson.
I left out GAJ due to risk involved.  Rockliff to expensive as replacement so Fyfe or JPK likely replacements.
Had Bennell early as POD and think will avg 100+,  Think Bont is capable of 100+ as well.   Agree Swan is a spud and will struggle to average 90 this year.   

Appreciate your thoughts on my team
