DEF: Very solid backline mate, I like it a lot. Other rookies to consider at Whitecross and Colquhoun.
MIDS: Again, very strong. Loving the Barlow and Watson picks man.
RUCKS: I have the same combo except I'm tossing up betweek Krooz and Leuey. Nothing wrong here. Might have to consider other ruck bench strategies if no rookies pop up during NAB.
FWDS: A little light on with F4 being a rookie. Maybe consider Bellchambers here to give you ruck cover as well.

You have some nice POD's. We have the same ruck combo so that's always good. Only thing to improve on is your forward line and I think this team has some nice potential.

cheers for the advice guys. I wanted to go barlow in the mids cause his a good price and should have a cracking year same applies with watson.
I looked at whitecross if his fit to go round 1 he will be locked in. Rookies will change based on NAB and first round selections
I didn't realise bellchambers was so cheap i just swapped him in for membrey to strengthen that forward line

What worries me with Watson is he has missed large chunks of games the last two seasons.

Look at the injuries his copped tho a broken collar bone and tearing a muscle which wasn't a common injury. I understand your worries but it is no Ben ried who has the constant soft tissue injuries. Now you got paranoia setting in and thinking of downgrading van berlo and upgrading watson to pendles thanks alot haha

As suggested I reckon you need Bellchambers in for back up ruck ;)
