Forgot to mention I've got $12,100 left in the kitty.

I've seen quite a few teams with Honeychurch in the forwards, is there something I'm missing because he's about 65kg ringing wet?

[nightwalker_1310au]

Yeah mate Mitch honey church is a small sized midfielder racked up 25 possessions on average last year and is a good chance to notch up a couple of early games for quick upgrade straight away.

Hard to fault any of your lines.  Obviously you'll need to make sure your rookies selections are right, but overall strong.

Yeah mate Mitch honey church is a small sized midfielder racked up 25 possessions on average last year and is a good chance to notch up a couple of early games for quick upgrade straight away.

He's pretty small, I remember others like Garry Moss, who was WA captain prior to being drafted, really struggling to overcome the size differential. Lewis Taylor is another one I'd be careful with, he's recovering from a foot injury and may not play until mid season.

I like the defence very good on all fronts with only one rookie (or in this case Laidler). My only question is whether or not Luke McDonald should be somewhere in the team, either in defence or in the midfield. 8.5/10

Mids I like there can be no complaints about that line. 8/10

Rucks are pretty standard - I am not sold on Grundy but he is certainly a very good tap ruckman so if he can start to pick up a few more possessions around the ground he could be well worth the asking price. Personally I will monitor McIntosh as he is proven scorer and although injury prone can be a very good scorer. 7/10

I like your forwards also with only 1 rookie on the field plus of course Fasolo who I think is a definite pick in any team if named for Round 1. 8.5/10

Overall a very good team that needs little to no changing prior to commencement of Round 1 and naming of rookies etc.

Good luck

Thank you mate well appreciated. Yeah would love to have McDonald might try and juggle the rookies. Around probably to see if it can fit him in.

[Mattb17]

Solid Team mate for the prem-middle range players might need to change the rookies but that depends on the nab cup etc 8/10

[sammy123]

Team is solid.

Love the grundy pick and the gunston.

Like the thompson pick. Feel you should have S.mitchell. In defence proven gun.

Dont like swallow personally. Better choices IMO

7/10

Team looks good, personally I don't like Murphy as he is underpriced more due to form rather than injury - seems counterintuitive but with an injured player the idea is that they might be able to make you some cash by scoring above their price, and then if they break down again they can be swapped for a better player. With a player underpriced due to form, you might just end up carrying a substandard player for the season who gives you neither more money or more points...

Also obviously waiting on rookies but have a backup plan in mind as you don't have too much cash spare and there is a real shortage of rookies with anything resembling job security...

[Woppa15]

Like the team. Maybe because its similar to my own, whether that's a good thing or not is yet to be seen haha.

Defence and Mids both look pretty solid. A few rookies i don't know much about but that's what the NAB is for right.
I'm personally of the view that Daisy proves more value than Murphy provided the ankles hold up, again find out during the NAB I guess.

Sandi I personally just cant pick anymore, I know he can score well but the last few seasons the only reliable thing about him is that he is unreliable and misses games. And not just a few games, he misses strings of games. Grundy I'm not sold on just yet.

Fwds seem fine, interesting that you've chosen Gunston. I think with Buddy gone he will get much much closer attention and wont have the third string defender anymore, especially after his performance in the GF.

Similar Premiums to most teams at this time of year and like all of us waiting on the Rookie performance in the NAB.
