First crack 2017.

Just one more change before pre-season starts. Had to do it out of respect for the little master.
Kennedy to Ablett. Recon it's his last year and is reasonably priced. Fingers crossed he stays healthy.. Thoughts please.

Problem could be having 3 R9 bye players as potential keepers

[Ringo]

As Peter said just need to watch bye structures - By the way SC is shaping up with no mention of Rd 9 bye would say we have to suck up and ifthat is the case would not want as Peter says 3 prems out. ]

Do not mind the structure,

[Money Shot]

do your self a favor and keep Kennedy over Gaz. So much safer than him. 

[Ashmore62]

Changed a few hours ago.. I knew you'd be onto to it :). Cheers for advice again.

[Ashmore62]

After more thought, went from Martin back to Sandi as have Ryder as back up if necessary. Extra cash enabled 
Hartlett to JJ
Ablett back to Kennedy(thanks Money Shot)
Jack to Swallow.
Considering Bont to Dusty, if Bont has premiership hangover.

Thoughts please!!

[Money Shot]

Very good looking side now.

Would keep Bont of dusty purelt because Prestia and Caddy may force him to play up forward more which could effect he's scoring.

Well done mate :)

[Ringo]

Nice side to sit on - Not sure how much cash you have left but you should be able to manouvre rookies.

[Ashmore62]

Thanks Money and Ringo..only 6k inthe bank..Like everybody else, have to wait to season start to tinker with rookies.
Cheers.

[Ashmore62]

Made a few changes..your thoughts appreciated!! Think too many $ invested in defense which historically is worst points score.
So Rance to Thurlow.
JJ to Mcgrath
Scharenberg to Keefe and Berry to Hampton. With extra cash, could upgrade Sandi to Goldy. Swollow to Beams. Bont to Selwood.
Ryder to Lids and Ainsworth to White..Not much left in the bank but I'm liking balance of this side a lot more.

Only concern would be not a lot of wriggle room if rookies do not start Rd 1. Hopefully they start for you.

Sound team to sit on till we know which rookies will be available.

[Ashmore62]

Cheers Ringo..Your advice is always appreciated. What do the other coaches think?

[GoLions]

Agree with Ringo to an extent. Not sure if some of the rookies you have picked will line up round 1, but also think there's a few around the same price that you haven't picked who should play.

Don't mind the Thurlow pick, have him in AF but don't have the guts for SC and DT ahaha. JJK I'm not as keen on, reckon trading him down to someone like Macrae or Caddy could be a better option, but that's just my personal preference :)

DEFENCE:
Can't fault it, maybe structure is one defender too light... Upgrade McGrath to make thurlow at D4 a little safer?

Midfield:
Quality again with only concern being beams

RUCK:
Spot on

FORWARD:
I like JJK starts well and is a genuine captain option against the bottom 4 teams, lids is risky with the quantity of GWS player taking points off him

Overall nice team

[Ashmore62]

Thanks for advice guys,
Beams to Murphy
Lids to Macrae.
Still think I've got riggle room to adjust rookies b4 season opener. Thoughts appreciated.
