Here is my ROUND 1 2013 TEAM!!! (pending Rnd 1 selections)

THE FINAL COUNTDOWN!
A hoy there all coaches. The final week is upon us before the 2013 season gets underway and we're all frantically chopping and changing out teams.

Here is ALMOST my LOCKED and LOADED ROUND 1 TEAM (still waiting on squads chosen before set 100%) but I'm pretty happy with this team and would love some input/opinions from the best coaches out there (you guys!).



Notes:
Backs: 3 Prems + Newman (almost prem as he CAN push out big scores). I think Newman will have a new lease on life this season and good scores will follow. I raelly rate the man. He was captain at the club for Pete's sake! haha

Mids: 3 Ultra Prems (Gaz, Pendles, JPK), 2 Prems (Scooter and Fyfe), 1 smokey (Lucas) and 2 rookies (O'Meara and Crouch). The top 3 will punch it out as they always do. With Wellingham brought in at WC this year, I reckon he'll get that shutdown role Scooter had freeing him up (as seen in the NAB...he looked good) and Fyfe is elite when fit (my pick for at least 1 Brownlow in his career if he can put a whole solid season together). Lucas...the BIG risk. Looking back at PowerToThePeople's 2012 opening side, he went with Parker who made him a great amount of cash. Under Mick I reckon Lucas can do the same, I'm willing to take a gamble here. Rookies are your basic 4.

Rucks: The Big Sauce. Solid, Solid, Solid. That's all I can say. Longer will/may change depending if Leuey is fit for Round 1. May also look back into the FWD/RUC swing and throw say a Roughy or Jenkins in there. This is the line I can't decide on and it's driving me (and I'm sure...all of you) NUTS. Ideas here will be greatly appreciated.

Fwds: 3 Prems (Coxy, Tex and Rocky). Then it gets interesting. I've gone with a Guns n' Mids approach. Gus Monfries: everyone gives the kid a hard time and was one of the whipping boys at Windy Hill. There was NO place for him there. At Port I reckon he will slot in brilliantly and has shown signs in the NAB Cup. He's showing himself to be and inside mid as well. You can see he's working on it. Also he most likely won't get the tag with Boak, Hartlett, Ebert, etc. in front of him. Using him for quick cash generation and might keep him around if he shines (like Porps last year). Karnezis: i like the kid. Looked good through the NAB and now is in the mids. Will improve and score well for his price. The boy can find the pill. And finally the old fella, Shannon Byrnes. Picked him over Varcoe based on price alone. I think he will score just as well and will make money rapidly.

Anyway I'll stop blabbering. That's my thoughts behing choosing this team and I'd love you hear yours.

Fire away!!!  ;D

Your lay-out is terrible.
Really awful to try and view what's going on... there is a post about how to present ya team.

That out of the way, team looks pretty good.
Personally don't like gus- hasn't got a big enough tank for mine. Been wrong before though (don't tell anyone :-[)

Newman is a good pick if he plays that wing role we have seen him in for the NAB... if.

Mildly concerned about Scooter being given run with roll in some of the games, could affect his scoring.

Otherwise pretty happy with the overall structures you've chosen.

Good-luck
