Probably wouldnt have luey in forward

Get rid of Hurn

And trade barlow for zorko

[Daniel86]

M.Jaensch is injured will miss first few rounds

[sammy123]

keep barlow him and zorks will av the same. luey the risk

[fasttrack13]

Jaensch to E.Mackenzie
Hurn to Yeo
Leuenberger to B.Kennedy
Lobbe to Goldy
Patty D to Gray

thats my recommendation...

[ubeaut]

Great structure except I';d trade one of Hurn/Jaench/Smith to a rookie priced player and one to Simpson. I'd keep Hurn.

Mids similar to mine apart from Danger and O'Maera where I've got Crouch and JPK. Was keen on O'Maera but hearing not quite ready so Crouch is in.

Use extra cash from backline re-shuffle to upgrade Lobbe.

[Money Shot]

Jaensch to E.Mackenzie
Hurn to Yeo
Leuenberger to B.Kennedy
Lobbe to Goldy
Patty D to Gray

thats my recommendation...

If you could do that your team would look amazing.

[Ringo]

Can not see Jansen getting early games for Lions and JOM may not play first round either.  Crouch may be the safer option.

Thanks for the opinions guys.
Have done a bit of tinkering and have come up with this:

Backs: Houli, Birchall, B. Smith, Hurn, Aish, M.Brown (M. Brown, M. Hartley)
Mids: Pendlebury, Ablett, Hannebery, Rocky, Libba, Jager, B. Crouch, Petracca (Gore, jansen, Freeman)
Rucks: Martin, Lobbe (Wyatt)
Forwards: Dusty, Dahlhaus, Barlow, Leuenberger, Simpkin, Kerridge ( Kommer, Ahern)

Have gone a bit weaker in defense but should score solidly as this is the lowest averaging libe i dont mind going a bit underpriced.
Mids I have got 4 prems with 3 mid pricers who i think can go 90+ each and should be good upgrades to super prems halfway through the year.
rucks. well i fell they are fairly standard as well as forwards. Just hoping luey can stay fit

i assume your 8th mid is Rocky?

Ahurn will miss the entire season
Freeman won't play rd1
Patricia may not either
Don't like Kommer, he's scored poorly when Bombers were up and about - so this yr he will be worse if indeed he gets a game rd1

Rucks are fine and i have the same but with King for the better loophole options

Burger will burn you i think, better off getting Bird than him imo

you will need to allow an extra 90k to get one of the 200k rookies in the midfield, at the very least one of them will be a must have

If Grimley gets games early he is a cheap ruck cover option- can swap Ahern out (ACL i think it was), and go Leuy to Anderson/Wells/Daisy/Conca in order to upgrade a mid rook to Hopper/Parish etc.

Thanks mate yea Rocky is the other mid and just updated thanks.
Yea i think i will get rid of Luey and Grimley does look like a good option at this point in time.
With the rookies i am not really fussed who i have in there atm. will start paying more attention once the NAB starts

[Bubbles]

Rance could of been a really good POD imo

[cortez]

Thanks for the feedback guys,
Done a bit of tinkering and I think i'm set for NAB as i don't really feel the need to change anything.
This is how i'm looking.
What does everyone think?

Backs: Mcveigh, Houli, Birchall, Aish, Francis, C. Smith (M. Brown, Hartley)
Mids: Pendles, GAJ, Hannebery Rocky, Libba, B. Crouch, Parish, Petracca (Gore, Jansen, Freeman)
Rucks: Jacobs, Lobbe (Grimley)
Fwds: Dusty, Dahlhous, Gunston, Buddy, Simpkin, Kerridge (Pickett, M. Brown)
9k in bank
very happy at the moment
Any feedback is welcomed :)

[Ringo]

Nice team to sit on. Watch NAB cup as I definitely think after yesterdays intrclub trial you need to look elsewhere for a replacement for Jansen.
