Dream Team. Young and Risky, thoughts?

[CPhil03]

Backline: B.Goddard, B.Deledio, J.Hawksley, B.Lake, J.Surjan, B.Ellis, B.Smedts, Reserves ( L.Spurr, T, Bugg )

Midfeild: S.Pendelbury, M.Boyd, G.Ablett, L.Hayes, L.Jetta, S.Coniglio Reserves ( L.Neale I know he is out for 2 weeks, E.Yeo )

Rucks: M,Leunberger, Z.Smith Reserves ( J.Giles, O.Stephenson )

Forwards: L.Franklin, D.Beams, N.Fyfe, J.Porplysia, D.Martin, S.Reid, J.Winderlich Reserves ( S.Motlop, I.Folau, He cost too much money not to get a run so should make some money )

Im not worried about the Byes at this stage im hoping to have a completely different team by then.

Well, at least you already know it's young and risky. That's a start.

They may be points of difference but Hawksley, Surjan, Spurr, Jetta, Yeo, Reid and Motlop have very little DT relevance in my opinion. Expecting Neale to immediately slot into the Freo side once he's recovered seems foolhardy. Yeo is a long, long way down my list of mid rook options, I can think of 4 guys from GWS alone that would be ahead of him.

Taking risks is fine but you are rolling the dice with a third of your team! If I had some suggestions it would be to downgrade Beams to Sidebottom, downgrade Smith to Redden, downgrade Reid to a rookie and use the cash to turn Hawksley and Jetta into premiums.

If you went into the season with that current side I think you'd be on the backfoot immediately and would find it hard to recover.
