Must Improve

Best team yet.

If 5 rookie priced defenders are playing and look like viable options this team is great! Just hope that some pop up over the JLT!

Thanks MS & Crowls.. your advice and patience is appreciated. Very happy with balance of this side.. Can't wait for JLT to start.

Mids: Danger, Dusty, T Mitchell, Fyfe, GAJ, A Bonar, LDU, Higgins. Bench. N Freeman, T kelly, N Holman

Rucks: Gawn. Nic Nat, Bench. English.

Forwards: Heeney, Billings, R Gray, Lobb, J Stephenson, T Smith, Bench. P Naish, L Ryan.

Couple of changes, obvious is GAJ for Kelly and Gray for Papley. Agree with Sabretooh's post a few days ago re Ablet. Have picked a lot worse risk/reward picks over the years, but if healthy recon he's a must at least till bye rounds. Very little in the bank.
Thoughts..

Great squad. Nice one to sit on until we know the rookies available I'd say. What are your thoughts on Gray though out of curiosity. Coming off a cancer scare and is likely to play predominantly forward, what do you see him averaging?

Hi SilverLion, have updated to this squad since.. After hearing of Gray's health issues, I've replaced with firebrand Greene who I recon will average 105-110 and Merret for GAJ with other minor changes. Will still keep a close eye on Gray and GAJ through JLT.
Cheers.

Fair enough :P

Nice side with a lot of top end premos. nice one to sit on for now until we know the rookie situation. Depending on that, may need to go a cheaper prem here and there.

Can't fault those selections.
I'd prefer another mid premo but with Lobb as F4 who I like and Yeo at D1 who I like and those top 3 mids who I like the $ just get eaten up.
Sit and see how things shape up.

The only issue will be your rookies, as you have gone for as many guns as you can with cheap rookies who may not play. Who will be your premium that you may need to drop?

Thanks for feedback.. If I had to drop one premium to bolster rookies, would be Billings or Greene. If JOM fires and is fit after JLT would look at Merret.. Still have 24k in the bank. :)

Nice side, well balanced with a few pods chucked in. What do you see McGrath averaging this year? I'm not convinced he'll improve to a 90-95+ average to justify his selection.

I truly beg to differ SL, recon he'll average 95-105.. watched him closely last year and this lad is special. And as round 1 pick in 2016, I wish this talent was at tigerland.

With the defence being a bit of a guess this year for top 10.... I am all for Witherden and McGrath. Witherden is a bit of a risk for me as although he looks the goods he has only played 11 or 12 games from memory so wouldn't you prefer someone like someone like Lloyd who is the same priced but who is 24 and played 92 games who is heading into his prime and already underpriced due to a 4 last year when he got injured?

McGrath I like and think a 90 average is very possible with more midfield minutes looking likely. I have Brayshaw in the same boat fyi.

Like the midfield. O'meara although injury prone would be my pick of the lot for the three names you have mentioned.

Like the rucks and forwards.
