Looks pretty solid, my only problem with it is mainly personal.

1 - Not sure if Yarran is really going to improve much this year. He isn't really a gun player and I think with the money you have left over (and possibly changing out N Riewoldt) you could find a better replacement.

2 - Delidio to the backline (possibly for Yarran) would be another option. Get rid of Lake as he is a bit of a dud and go for a rookie option.

3 - I'd be careful with Geelong players in the midfield, especially the older guys. No secrets the Cats will try to rest players and although his hammies are better these days, I think Chappy will be one to get a bit of rest time. Agree with Colliwobblers though, could probably find him a home in the forward line, which put a question mark on Christensen.

Dick and Porps are both duds in my opinion, but Porps seems to be popping up all over the place so maybe not.

I think the balance is pretty good though between the oldies and the young'uns. Look forward to seeing a second draft. Best of luck

[SAMCRO]

Definitely get Deledio down back and Chapman down fwds if you're set on having them in your side. If it's just the DPP you're after then fair enough but you'll be losing points that a premium midfielder would score in their place.

Am I too light in the mids lads??
Is the balance better??
Thoughts??

[alexross]

This is a much better team. Not too sure on how burgoyne will score though.

I am starting to like the idea of H.Mac or Kreuz in the ruck to save some money as wel all know they have talent.

Really good team. Hang tight until the NAB cup

[Wild Thing]

Far better second draft FK.  Burgoyne is a risk for his price IMO.  I don't hink you're light in the mids as I am seriously tossing up whether or not to go with 3 guns and six rookies, so non issue there.  I'm not convinced of McIntosh's TOG or JS with the emergence of Goldstein as North's #1, second ruckman generally don't score that well (Naitanui is an exception but he is almost another midfielder and HMac doesn't have his around the ground capabilities).  If anything, you may be thin in the forward line with only one genuine premium there.  Christensen, Porplyzia and Brown are big gambles, but the risk v. reward is there if they all have a good year, but if they don't trades will need to be burnt to replace them.  Good luck friend.

Thanks lads. Burgoyne definaltely a smokey and an ageing one at that..
A solid pre -season could have hime finding alot of the ball just like his power days.

But as they say, no guts no glory!!

And as you rightly point out Wild Thing, if these risky players hit their straps and stay on the park, it's BIG scores and Happy coach!!

Risks have to be taken. Don't they ???
