Definatley get another premo mid

Downgrade S Martin To Luey

Gotta disagree here. Team Looks great mate. I am a huge anti-luenberger. He averages 12 games a season and with no mids around him his HTO will be well down. I love the set and forget rucks. I would perhaps suggest to downgrade shaw to simpson/kk and then get Zerrett or Franklin in at F4. Wither way great team. I have wines locked in as well and am backing him for a 110 ave. Love him.

Would like to see one of your defenders become a rookie so that an extra premium can be added to the Midfield, certainly wouldn't be dumping Stef Martin.

[Ringo]

Remember in any decision go with gut as it is seldom wrong.

Do not mind your structure at all.  I see 13 keepers with Libba and Crouch maybes so on a par with most teams.  Structure is different to some.  Couple of choices I would disagree with but personal eg think Shaw is overpriced and whilst he will be Top 10 looms as an upgrade target for me rather than a starter.  Barlow - just watch and observe in NAB cup the effect Bennell may have on him.
Would not contemplate martin to Luey. Set and forget rucks apart from injury is sound.
Know rookies not set in stone but do not think either Keays or Matthieson will play Rd 1.  Would only have one as well.

150k a fair bit to have in the bank for round one. I'd be upgrading somewhere

Bringing in Zach Merrett into F4 leaves me with just under $400,000 to bring in another defender for Shaw :\

Barlow/Bennell I feel would be interchangeable considering their price and DPP status. But yeah, also been a bit iffy on Shaw, been trying for a while to downgrade him to a decent defender while bringing in another premo/mid-pricer in the mids or forwards.

Team 2 for mine - very nice

I think I've got my Round 1 team sorted. Kept enough cash to bring in the more expensive rookies if cheaper ones aren't named. Thoughts please?
