Haven't been here for a while; appreciate the feedback.

[Hawks_1976]

B: S.MITCHELL, SIMPSON, SWALLOW, SUCKLING, R.SHAW, MCDONALD [ CLUREY, GEORGIOU ]
M: ABLETT, PENDLEBURY, MURPHY, D.BEAMS, THOMAS, TYSON, MICHIE, POLEC [ X.ELLIS, DUNSTAN ]
R: LOBBE, SANDILANDS [ DERRICX, KING ]
F: DANGERFIELD, MARTIN, T.MITCHELL, GUNSTON, CADDY, FASOLO [ ROHAN, KENNEDY-HARRIS ]

CASH : $2,200.

My thoughts are that because there is no basement rookie to pick at F8, Rohan needs to be a bench option.
There are no ruck rookies either, Derricx may get a game or two until Tippett returns but that's about it.
Mids are the best hunting ground for rookies and I'm happy with my selections.
In terms of defensive rookies, very slim picking here as well. I've picked Clury and Georgiou because they look most likely to play. Would be interested if anyone felt confident on other basement priced defenders.

I appreciate peoples feedback and views on how this team could be improved.

Thanks.

Brad.

Some slight changes.

I didn't like Suckling at D4, R.Shaw and D5 so bolstered with the addition of Hurn.
Sacrificed Tyson for Crouch to get an extra 100k, but I still think Tyson is a great buy.
Ticthell is the damage for getting Hurn plus I've been sucked into Higgins after 33 possies v the Blues. ( why do I do this to myself? )

Team now reads:

DEF: S. Mitchell, K. Simpson, S. Hurn, D. Swallow, M. Suckling, L. McDonald (W. Langford, A. Georgiou)
MID: G. Ablett jnr, S. Pendlebury, T. Liberatore, M. Murphy, D. Beams, V. Michie, J. Polec, X. Ellis (L. Dunstan, T. Langdon)
RUC: M. Lobbe, A. Sandilands (T. Derickx, M. King)
FWD: P. Dangerfield, D. Martin, J. Gunston, J. Caddy, S. Higgins, G. Rohan (J. Impey, J. Kennedy-Harris)
CASH LEFT: $1,200

I just need to figure out now whether I prefer Hurn/Langdon/Caddy vs Webster/Tyson/T.Mitchell.

Otherwise I think I'm set?

Gday Hawks, good to see you back here mate!

I'm very glad you've ditched Shaw from your backline, don't rate him SC-wise and can't understand the hype. Yes he's cheap, but we can only reasonably expect 70-75 from him if he dominates...

Murphy and Beams are good value in the mids, I only wanted one of Murph/Daisy and went the Daisy option myself. Murphy is a better chance of becoming a keeper though. Rookies are solid. I would almost prefer Tyson over Michie if you can free up the spare 40k?

Rucks are faily standard, Lobbe risk could pay big dividends.

Forwards are relatively weak in comparison, though this is the issue that everyone is facing. Not sure about Gunston at F3. Would prefer Zorko or Dahlhaus etc (Midfielder types)


To answer your question: Hurn/Langdon/Caddy is the way to go! Webster who? A classic pre-season bolter.

I don't mind the Webster but I wouldn't downgrade Hurn as this will leave you way too weak down back

But he could prove better value than Suckers as I think they will have similar averages - but that's just my opinion.

I think Webster/Tyson/Mitchell is the way to go.  Been following Webster for a while in the VFL.  Runs off half back and has a long accurate kick that is almost Josh Hunt-esque.  Should play every game barring injury/suspension.  Mitchell is a star and I think Tyson will make you plenty of cash too.

Kade Simpson is a safe option, may be better leaving him for a mid season upgrade as I don't think his price will change much.

Lobbe is a risk, but could seriously pay off.
