not too bad

[sobeyyy]

how does this team weigh up.
D: Goddard, Enright, Hodge, Waite, S. Thompson (NM), Kennelly, Hunt (Davis, Maguire)
M: Ablett, Dal, Vince, Trengrove, Martin, Jetta  (Moles, M.Barlow)
R: Jolly Or Clark, Hille (Roughead, Lobbe)
F: Riewoldt, Pav, Fevola OR Brown, Franklin, Tippett, Hall, Rockliff (Hitchcock (OR) T.Taylor, Podsiadly)

15,000 in the bank. I didnt know whether 2 get rid of waite for gram, or have jolly or mitch clark or fev or brown. I think three rookies is betta in the mid as there are so many good ones this yr. Better 2 put good rookies in the midfield then avg. ones in the backline and fwdline.

Waite is just coming out of injury, very risky. Gram is the better option.

As for the rucks, its been hard to judge with hardly any great performances in the NAB Cup except from Nic Nat and Seaby. Hille is another risky one coming of a major injury.

As Brown is working out of the half-forward he'll be running more and collect alot more of the footy than Fevola will, so Brown is probably the better option.

Your backline is fine, like the Thompson unique choice.

Your midfield is risky, Vince had a small injury recently and three rookies is very risky.

Already mentioned rucks.

Forwards are solid though Rockliff should be on the bench, hard to say he'll play Round 1.

So, IMO, downgrade Waite for Malceski/Kenelly, downgrade two forwards for say Ballantyne/Mayne/Ziebell/Dangerfield and then upgrade one of the rookie midfielders. Also trade Hille for Seaby or Nic Nat.

Good luck!! :D
