RUC: B. McEvoy, M. Leuenberger (S. Rowe, D. Currie)
FWD: D. Cox, T. Rockliff, D. Martin, C. Sylvia, R. Gray, S. O'hAilpin (B. Macaffer, B. Staker)
CASH LEFT: $110,000

Not a fan of the 4 premo back line with a mid pricer.  Money is probably better spent in other areas, namely your fwd line.

Gray won't play round one so I'd maybe downgrade Bock to a rookie like Thurlow?

Maybe Gray>Bynres,Knights or Varcoe?

Sylvia is in the rehab group so wait and see what the go is with him before committing.

I also reckon you need another premium mid. But it's not a complete necessity with Fyfe & Embers there. But it'd be good.  :D

[Mr.Craig]

Not sure about popping your cherry but I can pop your bubble about Gray, he won't play until April/May. Not sold on O'hAilpin, Goodes will need to get elevated and Bock/Menzel still have some work to do to be fit and selected Round 1. Other than that, it's a good team. :)

I'd suggest downgrading Bock, moving Staker to the backs, upgrading Gray to a premium and downgrading O'hAilpin to a rookie or finding the money to turn him into Knights, Varcoe or Byrnes.

Pretty much Windi and MR Craig have nailed it, but on a positive side i like the selection of McEvoy.

He has a nice draw to start with and should score well

[Jukes]

Another sheep who just locks in Swan and Ablett without thought :P

Backs: 8/10
Mids: 8.5/10
Rucks: 8.1/10
Forwards: 8.4/10
Overall: 8.25/10

I'd prefer Cloke and Byrnes to Sylvia and Gray, and Mayes over o'Hailpan. How much help with being able to swap two spud rookies between lines give you?
