After a lot of chops and changes, with obviously quite a few fed rookies available, I'm looking at shoring up the Defence..
Gibson will play a lot more loosely now with frawley around, I like the look of KK & have a feeling he can significantly increase his output on last year. And hoping Ibbotson can stay on the park..

JJK will be top 3 mid this year..
Crouch will not cop a hard tag with Danger and Sloane so hopefully go avg.110

And Rookie Fwds will obviously be finalised before round 1.

BACKS: H Shaw, J Gibson, J.Newnes, H.Lumumba, K.Kolidashnij, G. Ibbotson (N Brown, A Saad)

MIDS: G Ablett, S.Pendlebury, J.Selwood, J.Kennedy, B Crouch, B Newton, N Cockatoo, J Anderson (I.Heeney, A Vandenberg, N Krakouer)

RUCKS: T Goldstein, I Maric (T Nankervis)

FWDS: D.Martin, D.Swan, C Salem, M.Clark, P Karnezis, J Hogan (K.Lambert, T Lamb)

Cash left: $54,500

I'm open to all thoughts and criticism..
Cheers!

Just remember that if Frawley can't stay on the park, Gibson will slot straight back into that role as a key defender.

Not sure about Kolodjashnij. Treat Ibbotson with caution.

I like your midfield, I have the same first 3 premos, but I have gone for value in Griffen and Swallow in M4 and M5.

Fairly safe ruck options. Good selections I think.

Definitely lots of value in the forward line this year, good rookies, but I would be wary of starting just 2 top-end players.

Overall, fairly solid team.
