First team. Opinions?

[maccar86]

BACKS: Malceski, Hibberd, B.Smith, Seedsman, Whitecross, Clurey (Z.Jones, J.Kolo)

MIDS: Ablett, Barlow, Sidebottom, Parker, B.Crouch, Rich, NVB, P.Cripps (Dick, Freeman, Dumont)

RUCKS: Kruezer, Berger (Nankervis)

FWDS: Swan, Goddard, D.Martin, T.Mitchell, M.Clark, Hogan (Krakouer, Membrey)

$24,900

Taken a few risks this year with guys who might make the jump to 100-110 average. Also taken a few mid priced cash cows. Any suggestions? I can maybe lose a mid-pricer in the backs and upgrade Parker (really like him to improve his average this year) or B.Crouch (ball magnet) but pretty happy with that as a first attempt. Rookies will obviously change due to team selections but the backbone will stay the same.

Thoughts community?

Looks a good platform there mate.

My concern is the attention Brodie Smith will get this year, really feel he will be run-with off the half back so will be closely checked.

Clurey a concern for me and whitecross for job security, i understand he is cheap but its a tough side to crack into and hold your position.

Tom Mitchell, like the player but hardly got a game last year, under used in my opinion so worries me to lock him in until i see a change in attitude from the coach.

Like sidebum he could move into the must have category this year.

Really appreciate the feedback. I have made some adjustments.

I like tom mitchell this year. He had a bit of an interrupted year last year with injury back really think he will crack the side with the parting of malceski and rohan moving to half back.

BACKS: Malceski, Simpson, Hibberd, Newnes, Z.Jones, Dick (Goddard, Mcguinness)

MIDS: Ablett, Barlow, Sidebottom, Parker, Hallahan, Rich, NVB, Dumont (Boekhorst, Freeman, Lambert)

RUCKS: S.Jacobs, Luenberger (Nankervis)

FORWARDS: Bartel (can be dusty or lids), Goddard, Swan, Mitchell, Clark, Hogan (Membrey, Laverde)

Definitely go Dusty over both Bartel and Lids.  He's ready to explode I reckon, and at 23 he's about to hit his prime.  Pencil him in for 100+ average for sure.

Also I'd look at better options than Hallahan at M5. Go up to a premo or drop to a rookie so you can strengthen up D5/D6
