Happy with Mids, too many Rooks?

[Steelevill]

TEAM NAME: Steeleville
DEF: B. Goddard, J. Grimes, B. Waters, B. Staker, B. Goodes, S. Docherty (S. Colquhoun, D. Terlich)
MID: D. Swan, G. Ablett jnr, S. Pendlebury, J. Kennedy, M. Murphy, B. Crouch, T. Mitchell, J. O'Meara (N. Hrovat, J. Viney)
RUC: D. Cox, I. Maric (A. Graham, T. Campbell)
FWD: L. Franklin, D. Zorko, T. Cloke, S. Mayes, J. Daniher, T. Menzel (S. Kerridge, T. Lee)
CASH LEFT: $96,500

I'll lead with Cloke. Gun on his day, last year distracted something shocking by contract. Now that's put to bed, and he does have to perform to get what he wants, believe him to be a bargain.

The Rooks I picked I keep seeing in other teams, so maybe I'm not that far away on some of them. Thinking K Mitchell instead of T Mitchell, and maybe not Colquhoun (hard to say) in the backs.

Yes, my bench rucks are overpriced, and yes, Gus Graham is a spud, but I don't think Witts or Grundy are going to push past Jolly yet. My son has Ceglar (Hawk, ex-Pie), who may get a run, so I'll keep an eye on him.

I am also devastated DPP was taken of Sidebottom. My daughter points out I can hardly call my team Steeleville without him in it. But, he's probably fifth midfielder in line at Collingwood, so may have a reduced output. Balance had to win out.

Thoughts anyone. Oh, its good to be back wasting work time on this!

Thanks.

3 fwd rookies is the incorrect decision, I'd revise that.

Cloke at F3 is way to risky as well.

Maric>Berger & Graham>Grundy, Currie will free up loads of cash.  8)

Hi Windigo, and thanks for looking at my team.

Yes, looking to revise all my rookies. Lucky Dip, sometimes. Maybe NAB Cup will shine a light.

Cloke is in for my stated reasons, but I could be proven wrong.

Is Berger fit and ready to play? If so, yes, bargain there. Don't know about Grundy for my aforementioned reasons. Jolly is a bit like Mike Hussey. No young upstart is going to take my place when I waited years to get it!

Similarly, Currie getting past Goldy.

Lots to think about.

Thanks again.

It's a wait and see on Berger, but I'd definitely get him in.

From reports Gundy has been beating Jolly in ruck contests. I'd still rather him than Spud Graham who won't get games unless Sauce goes down.

Goldy will have a huge workload but they'll need 2 rucks at some point in the season so Currie will play no doubt but when? Will they use the Peetree or his he just a forward now? Apart from Buddy and the Zork forwards look weak. I'd take some $ out of the rucks and get another gun in there, Pav, Bartel, Stevie J, Thomas if he's fit, a 90 odd avg.

Thanks Windigo & Grannyboy.

Appreciate the comments. Especially agree with Spud Graham not seeing much action.

GB, Lindsay Thomas or Daisy? Assume Daisy, daughter's and every teenage girl's favourite. Happy if he plays, as I rate him and I am not currently overloaded with Magpies. Lindsay? Oh, I make myself laugh!

Yes Peetree is a forward forever now.

[Grannyboy]

Lindsay and 90 odd average don't seem to go together to well. Yeah Daisy the one with caviar on his bum! :o
