Nice Team, although Im just not sure if all of theses proven players (shaw, Hanley, beams, JPK, Armitage, Deledio and Rioli) you have selected will be able to return to their best. Although if it does work you team should go off to a flyer, especially with your strong midfield

I feel as though this team would have scored better in 2016 than it will in 2018 haha.

Think there are too many question marks on players like Shaw, Hanley, Armitage, Delidio, Rioli, Christensen and Ah Chee for the team to pay off.

I only count 10 premiums with 8 maybe premiums which is a bit concerning. What if all of the above come out and average 75-85 and you need to trade all of them at some stage or just have an underperforming keeper for the whole season.

Thanks for the feedback lads.

Expect an update every day or so until Lockout from here on!

The suspense is killing me, Torp!

The suspense is killing me, Torp!

Woops, turns out I'm more disorganized than I'd like!  :P The WXVWs GF weekend took too much of my attention.

DEF: Laird, Savage, Shaw, Coffield, Doedee, Murray (Finlayson, Mirra)
MID: Titchell, Neale, Fyfe, Bontempelli, JPK, Jelwood, Cripps, Tim Kelly (Holman, Banfield, Barry)
RUCK: Goldstein, Gawn (Olango)
FWD: Heeney, Billings, Lobb, Christensen, Venables, Fritsch (Ryan, Crowden)

....$700 remaining.  :-[

What do we think? I feel like I've invested heavily in the Mids for the early jump out of the box, especially with a potential for the non-playing Danger. Not the biggest fan of Dusty, so I'm waiting for his ...(hopefully) eventual stinkers. Lobb & Christo could easily be interchanged for Rioli & Ah Chee, or Petracca & Fogarty, so it's more a wait and see on Lobb's injury availability.

That F4 to F6 scares me a bit.

I'd drop one of the premo mids to either Freo's Brayshaw or Brodie and upgrade one of your forward rookies to a forward keeper option.

[Ringo]

Need to watch Rd 14 bye carefully.

Although with stacked mids you will score well early remember it is mid rookies that usually make the most cash for you. So I agree with AK that you need another prem forward.

[Money Shot]

I might be going with the exact same forward line if Lobb lines up round 1.

Billings/Heeney a good chance of being number 1 and  2 come seasons end, Lobb should be good for a 90+ average as the number 1 ruck, he is a much better player than Witts in my opinion and he scored over 90 so I think Lobb can do the same. Bundy should be good for a 70-75 and rock solid JS which I like. Venables should be a good for a 60-65 average as he has been promised midfield rotations and has been compared to Shuey and Fritsch looks ready made and has killed it in the VFL. F7-F8 just need to play and score okay, I think Langdon from GWS looks okay and one of Garlett, Ryan, Rioli or anyone else should be good enough for that final bench spot.

Think if Danger is named round 1 you need to get him in. It means that by seasons end you won't have one of Danger/Dusty which I see as a bit concerning.

Will update this at the cease of R4.

All I'll say is, take a look at that first draft and seeing Grundy there makes me cry.  :'(
