Mate that's a great team - Only thing i'm unsure of is Lecras and Varcoe in the same side - I'd only risk one imo. The 55k you've got just about gets Lecras to Christensen which would be safer imo - but not a bad POD if you're confident he can bounce back from injury.

Good luck!

my advice is similar to the above comment.
i would pick one of varcoe/lecras and one of embley/ball
then i would pick up another premium player either forward or mid. your choice. im going with a six prem mid so my bias advise would be upgrade embley or ball to a mid. and downgrade varcoe/lecras to a rookie. youll get a petter premium in the midfield but there are better rooks in the mids too.

otherwise very strong team. love your back line. i have goddard, gibbs and heppel. and i think birchal would be my first upgrade target in defense.

best of luck. give me your thoughts too  http://www.fanfooty.com.au/forum/index.php/topic,71036.0.html

I'm worried now that my forward line is a little weak.
Thoughts?

Nice team now:

For forward structure what I would do is downgrade Embley to a rookie and upgrade Varcoe to a prem forward. Do not think you need a mid pricer at M6 given the mid rookies available and playing this year.
