Apologies in advance, I read the thread and attempted to post my team as a screenshot to no avail. Being computer illiterate not helping my cause. Appreciate your personal acumen and will gladly respond in kind. Thanks guys.

DEFENDERS
J.Lloyd     Laird     Whitfield    B.Smith (Adel)     Roberton     S. Collins     (Hore     Wigg)

MIDFIELD
Cripps     Fyfe     Kelly     D.Martin     S.Walsh     B.Smith (W.B)     Setterfield     Constable     (Bewley     Valente     Hind)

RUCKS
Grundy     Goldy

FORWARDS
Danger     Heeney     Dunkley     Rankine     McAdam     Cavarra     (Burgess     Wilkinson)

NOTES:
Roberton will be a wait and see on his fitness and can be downgraded to a rookie.
I realise Walsh & Smith are pricey in terms of rookies, but feel they will play majority and score reasonably well.
Rankine could probably be changed to Setterfield and Stocker/Hately or another rookie brought in to the midfield.
I'd prefer Gawn (dependant upon Preuss factor) and if Roberton is downgraded, I will be bringing him in.
All rookies obviously subject to performance in the JLT and being named.

Smith has been battling achilles issues & has had an interrupted preseason, reckon you'd be better off looking at Davies-Uniacke at a simiar price, his form in the VFL was outstanding in the tailend of 2018.

Thanks Bully. I'm not sold on LDU and his ability to find the footy. I didn't realise that in regards to his VFL form. Cheers for the heads up. Changed Smith to Stocker (for now), Rankine to Setterfield and brought in Miles at the expense of Roberton.

LDU averaged 24 touches against Collingwood, Williamstown & Footscray, all three were top 8 sides. He also notched up 16 disposals, 5 tackles, 4 clearances against Sydney in round 17. I personally think he's an excellent selection being a former top 4 draft pick & having 2 preseasons under his belt. From all reports the club has put a lot of work into his outside game which was largely missing in 2018, the kid has some serious wheels & is explosive in that Dangerfield way. Definitely one to watch in the JLT (and is my back-up plan if Bennell doesn't get up).

As for Stocker, doubt he will get a guernsey but you have Gibbons as a back-up.
