Need help from Canada

[bmac25]

First draft, any help would be appreciated.

B: McVeigh, Mitchell, D Swallow, Suckling, Thurlow, McDonald (B Martin Gardiner)

M: Gaj, J Selwood, Fyfe, D Beams, Zaharakis, J Martin, Polec, Michie (Morabito, D Garlett)

R: NicNat, Sandi (Derricx, Currie)

F: Danger, Buddy, Motlop, Mayes, M Clarke, Rohan (Kersten, Honeychurch)

$1k left.  Few risks, unsure about forward line and of course rookies may change on all lines as season gets closer.

it's not to bad but

Suckling a must have imo

Tex wont be read for round 1

are the obvious faults i can see

[Ringo]

Just a couple of comments:

Just finalise rookies when teams are named for round 1.

Def: Suckling should be considered as he is so underpriced. Would look at Vlaustin to Suckling as Vlaustin despite his good year last year may suffer 2nd year syndrome Bartel worries me a little as with the goings at Geelong out of necessity he may be used up forward at times which may effect his scoring. Sam Mitchell an alternative.
Mid:  No issues here
Ruck: Too much on bench here with Longer - Can see why done but I would look at Longer down to Derrick and then upgrading Longer to a prem. Grundy is really unproven yet to play a full season and with Sandi injury prone need to minimise the risk.
Fwds: Tex probably not available Round 1 so need to look for alternate. Not sure of Black at F3 but may prove a good POD for you.

Overall Sound Teamm

Def - A few question marks over Scharenberg and his foot issues, Luke Mcdonald could be a good alternative, id look at trading Grimes and Vlaustin for Suckling and another proven premium like Sam Mitchell or Heath Shaw.

Mid - Looking good.

Rucks - Longer is too much coin to be sitting on the pine id look at downgrading him and upgrading Sandilands, great pick with Grundy, the kid showed plenty for us last year and I expect him to go to another level with Jolly gone and another pre season under the belt.

Forwards - Not a big fan of Roughead and Black, would prefer Buddy, Wingard or Dustin Martin tbh.

Def: I think you should have suckling in Defence in expense of Vlastuin not sure about Grimes and Scharenberg may not play early on
Mids: First team i have seen Zaharakis picked could reward you well  remainders of midfield is excellent
Rucks: Spent too much here i think you should go with the No 2 Ruck at Sydney whether that is Derricx or Nankervis i am not certain. Maybe get in Goldstein here for one of Sandi or Grundy your choice.
Fwds: Not too sure about the Black pick could score between 85-90 as for Walker i agree with the others so you will  need to make alterations to your forwards.


You have team of Premiums,Uniques & Rookies which is a good strategy. Good Luck give your team an 8/10

Get Suckling, get Daisy, get NicNat & Go Flames!!!

[bmac25]

Thanks for the feedback, have made a few changes above.  Thoughts?

[DCAK]

Jacobs & Grundie? Have you learned nothing??? Go Flames!

[bmac25]

would love nicnat but would have to downgrade someone to get him.  Not sold on Daisy at all, will keep an eye on nab cup form and how his ankle holds up

[bmac25]

made a couple more alterations
