Any suggestions are appreciated. I need some help, its been a shocker year for me. Had to sub rockliff due to injury, Leuenberger is out, dont know whether Pyke was the right replacement. Anyone got some ideas?

G'day "newbie'. You sure look like you could use a little help. You appear to have about 8 keepers, little money, but plenty of trades left. As plenty of trades is your strong point it's definitely time to use them. Would  be trading Mayes or Caddy out for Tom Mitchell next week and then looking for another cash making downgrade. Mitchell will be great, you'll not only make money but he'll score high as well. It could be the wisest move to make as much money as you can while watching the SC Players and Trades site on FF and grab as many fallen (hopefully temporarily) premium bargains as you can get. Don't think you'll set the world on fire this year but you can have some fun while learning and then give heaps of hell next year. Best of luck and wish I could have done more for you. Cheers. ;)

Welcome mate. Definitely not the worst team, but does need some work.

First observation would be that you've got quite a few mid range / premium defs and fwds in your midfield, using DPP. That's usually not a good strategy, mainly because the midfield is where you will get the best rookies and most important premiums - try to fill it up with as many of each as possible, and shift those other blokes back to their correct lines.

As Sabretooth has said, keep an eye out for quality rookies like Mitchell. Keep an eye on the threads on this site and you'll hear about good rookies coming through. Turn them over often, make money, and upgrade some mid pricers.

Good luck mate.
