Probably the first team I've seen without Dayne Beams :P

Backline is a bit iffy, in the sense that Goddard/Gibbs/Heppell I don't think will retain DPP. Easy to replace though due to their prices (can get Hanley, Birchall, McKenzie, etc)
Midfield looks good
Rucks is fine as long as NicNat is fit Rd1
Forwards look good, although not sure on Boyd in fantasy, as he'll be expensive, and I don't really expect him to score well. But there's no point worrying about rookies until round 1 teams are named anyway :P

Provided defence either all named with DEF eligibility, or are replaced with decent defenders if not, probably an 8.5/10  :)

First thing I see is three problems in the back line. Goddard will become a mid only, Gibbs will become a mid only and as will Heppell. You've gone with 4 premium defenders in there when you probably only need 3. Mcveigh/Hanley/Shaw and even Hurn/Waters could fill in those 3 remaining spots.

You've only got 4 premium Mids when you need 5+ decent scorers in there and there's plenty of teams going around with 6 premium Mids with the same structure as you.
Consider Cotchin/Beams/Murphy as cheap options instead. Good rookie choices.

Rucks are okay - Sandilands is a better option than Grundy, not so sure he's upto it yet, but surprisingly he's a popular pick so go with your gut I guess.

Good forward line apart from Tom Boyd who's a KPF and priced heavily. Wouldn't risk it. Much rather Michie/Fasolo to take his spot.

Teams alright mate, but plenty to fix up on. Your team also looks on paper to fit under the salary cap quite easily. Good luck.

Edit: Basically what GoLions said  ::)
