I like it a lot. It's pretty similar to my team actually and I think we're experimenting with the same players. Fiorini is probably a bit pricey for my liking but it looks good

Quick question, but is it Mitch or Michael you have in the backline?

[Ringo]

Nice team here. Good structure.

Only comment I would make and this is early if you also intend to use Cameron as your loophole Sydney play a lot of early games. If you go with Strnadica from Freo you also have the opportunity to swap with Sandi for VC loophole.

personally not a fan of N Roo at that price but your team.

Love Joey, hope he flies under the radar... hibberd for me is a huge risk, there are better options if you free'd up 100k
Midfield possibly a little light, id say you could only do one of swallow or fiorini.
Agree with ringo on Nroo, but not many options up forward this year so hes a decent enough pick and should be top 10

overall solid team, how much cash left? seems like there should be a bit

[Regs81]

OK.  2nd attempt.  Not sure if this team actually looks any better or not! would love some feedback.  cheers

Sorry, played around a bit more. I'm going to stick to this team for a bit.  I know there are some risks and the forward line is very week, but I think it might work?!!??

Does Johnson = Michael Johnson from Freo, or someone else?

Your starting 22 looks great, but may struggle with cash generation. I know it's way too early to be commenting on rookies, but it's usually good to pick some of the more expensive ones early on, so that you can downgrade later if others pop up (a lot easier to downgrade your rookies than to upgrade them ;))

A lot of people seem to be really keen on Heeney, personally I reckon 2018 will be his year, but I've been wrong many times before :P

I like the defence, except would go Johnson to a rookie if it's the Freo one.

Might be a tad too strong in the mids, Murphy probably the one with the least upside, however his best is still very good. Got burnt by him this year though so I'm probably a bit biased against him :P

Good luck for 2017! :)

Sydney johnson. Rookie price

[Regs81]

didn't realise Johnson was coming back after 5 knee reconstructions! Not sure he will get a game!

[Regs81]

Decided to play around again as I'm starting to notice teams looking so similar! Though I'd see what my team would look like with a few PODs or even potential break outs! Don't mind the look of this team, I know there is a fair few risks.  I've tried to get expensive rookies to ensure I have that bit of cash extra if they need to change, which I'm sure rookies will change!  Would love any feedback..

Love the team mate! I am also trying to make my team different! Love all the players of difference but Kelly could go to someone like Beams which would be a much better choice and I assume he would be cheaper as well :)

great team :)

[Regs81]

I already have beams!!

[fasttrack13]

Going to assume thats Josh Kelly from the giants... as much as i love the kid even if he were to break out i can't see him performing better than 105ppg (absolute max.) which probably doesn't justify his selection.
I reckon you'd be better off turning him into an uber premo through downgrading swallow.

[Regs81]

Ok. Think I'm set with this team for a while. Made a few changes and am pretty happy with it.. Again, would love any feedback.. Cheers!

Nice team and worth sitting on till NAB cup.

Defence: No issues -
Mids: Gutsy pick with Ablett but he will spend a lot of time forward this year which could mean more goals. Omission of Pendles may hurt but may be offset with Ablett as a POD.
Rucks: Slight risk going without Goldy or Gawn but if Martin regains 2015 form set. Would watch NAB cup to see if Lions play both Martin and Smith as Smith has been training with forwards do could be an issue if they play 2 rucks.
Forwards: Sound one of the few teams without Macrae. Personally think Nroo not worth the price but will still be a Top 10 forward.
