First time posting.. Ranked Top 100

[Elcapitano]

I've never posted my team here, as I'm normally just striving for $$ league wins.
But after the wknd seeing my Rank has me wanting to try hang around the top.

My Backline is the weak link, which was planned with their historically lower scores & reliability.

Def: Laird, Rich, Lonergan, Weitering, Dea, Adams (M Brown, Tippa)

Mids: Dangerfield, Ablett, Priddis, Rockliff, Parker, Libba, B Crouch, Mills (Gresham, Dunkley, Davis)

Ruck: Goldy, NicNat (Goetz)

Fwd: Barlow, S Gray, Hall, Wells, B Kennedy, Kerridge (Menadue, McCarthy)
Kitty $125,000

Any suggestions with helping to improve? Planning ahead.. Cheers.

Sit tight this week, you look to have a pretty strong team and I wouldn't worry about the backline. It is where you will generally generate the least amount of points. Next week look at making a few corrective trades with rookies if you have to (Gresham>Hewett might be one if the form of both continues), but I think you're in a position to generate a lot of cash quickly.

Yeah the hardest part about being up top early is the temptation to trade hard to keep your rank. Last year I was ranked about 30k after round 1, and worked up to finish 133rd or so. The reason I could was because I kept trades and made ground during the bye weeks and at the end when everyone else had injury woes.
Odds are you'll drop a bit after this week regardless of what you do, so I would suggest sitting tight, make sure your rookies are right before rd3 and go from there. Picking a decent VC and loopholing rookies will help a lot too. Good luck!
