Def: First four are good, i'm just not sure about starting 2 rookies on the field. Back rookies are very thin and i'm not sure you can afford to start 4 of them. 7/10
Mid: Looks good but i'd try to get Pendles in there, either by trading out Griffen or Watson. 7/10
Ruc: Looks like you've tried to got for a 'set and forget' type of setup, but I don't think Mcevoy will cut it as a top ruck by the end of the year. Consider downgrading to Sandilands. 8/10
For: First three are pretty common picks, and that's for a reason, they're good options. Walker won't get up for round 1 though so use the money from downgrading mcevoy to either upgrade him or trade both him and a rookie out for 2 of Fasolo/Clark/Higgins/Lamb etc (Not sure if i'm missing someone) 7/10

29/40 Solid team just needs a bit of work on mainly the back line. You might want to downgrade Watson to Thomas to free up some cash to upgrade Tippett or another back rookie.

Have you got the right Kolodjashdjflweknfsljbfs?

[Johnahawk]

Haha typo! Should have been KK, fixed now.

I will rate a la Big Mac.

Def: 8.5
Mid: 7 - agree Pendles is worth starting with over Griffen.
Ruc: 9
For: 7.5 Tex might not be ready, but if he is, I am back on.

32/40.

I would consider Higgins, Bock, Clark, Billings as possible money savers to bankroll Pendles.

Also - rucks are very strong but if McEvoy doesn't fire, you'll regret taking that conservative line with little upside over a cheaper but riskier guy like Sandi. Thurlow might get games with Belly out. DPP and cheap as.

Good luck.

Cheers guys,

If Walker does't play round 1 i'll swap him for Clark most likely. Had to make a tough decision and leave Pendles out as I have Ablett and Beams with round 8 byes.
