DEF: Hurley, Laird, Savage, Coffield, Naughton, Doedee (Murray, Finlayson)
MID: Martin, Tmitch, Crouch, Fyfe, JPK, Cripps, Brayshaw, Banfield (Fogarty, Kelly, Holman)
RUCK: Goldy, Gawn (cameron)
FWD: Billings, Barlow, Sicily, Christensen, Langdon, Fritsch (Venables, Stephenson)

Forward line is the biggest issue i'm having this season. Seems like it's getting harder and harder each season

Like the team but think Danger is a must if he is fit for round 1 and I personally think he will be. Have you got a plan to get him in if you need?

Apart from that I can't fault the team apart from the Barlow pick as I think he is a wait and see with his round 10 bye.

Thanks for the feedback. If Danger is fit for round 1, ill most likely go Crouch --> Danger, JPK ---> Coniglio. I'm still unsure on Barlow myself as it's a gamble. Although, most of the forwards in the 400k range are hit or miss.

Like the plan for Danger.

Agree with forward line the hardest and that is where the differences will occur. I too am not sure on Barlow as he is coming back from a second broken leg and would prefer to see him in action to see if full recovery made.

However plenty around the same price if you decide to forgo - Walters and Devon Smith 2 that stand out and could go up to Heeney with extra cash.

Apart from Barlow like the team.

Good point on Barlow. Took him out today and will keep an eye on him. I've added in Devon Smith but I can upgrade to Heeney although, it's all depending on who's selected and whatnot

Super midfield, even without Danger. JPK a great POD... bonus!

Definitely comes at the expense of your DEF and FWD lines. Bloody hard to find the balance this year!

Hate the Barlow pick though!

Agreed, Love the JPK pick. Got rid of Barlow and went for Devon Smith

This is my final team

DEF: Hurley, Laird, Savage, Murray. Naughton, Doedee (Keefe, Finlayson)
MID: Martin, Tmitch, Fyfe, JPK, Cripps, Cognilio, Brayshaw, Banfield (Garlett, Kelly, Holman)
RUCK: Goldy, Gawn (Olongo)
FWD: Billings, Smith, Sicily, Rioli, Langdon, Fritsch (Venables, Stephenson)
Cash left: $288,500.

Leaves me with plenty of cash to upgrade to Dangerfield if he's named and does well. Picked Rioli over Christensen as I think Rioli can make some quick money if he has some really good games. If not, i can easily replace him with Christensen/Bell or whoever.

Current Team
DEF: Hurley, Laird, Savage, Murray. Finlayson, Doedee (Keefe, Naughton)
MID: Martin, Tmitch, Oliver, JPK, Cripps, Cognilio, Kelly, Holman (Garlett, Kelly, Holman)
RUCK: Goldy, Gawn (Olongo)
FWD: Billings, Smith, Sicily, Rioli, Stephenson, Fritsch (Venables, Venables)
Cash left: $273,600

Round 2 performance
Round score 2396
Total score 4653
Overall Rank 5716

Naughton > Bonner will be my first trade. My second trade is causing a lot of dilemmas. Rioli is a goner, don't know why I took a punt on him (probably because i'm a hawks fan). I could downgrade him to Christensen or Ryan for extra $$. If I go for Ryan, it gives me plenty of money to upgrade Brayshaw in the coming weeks.
I'm finding it hard to upgrade Rioli right now. Only 500k to work with and the only forwards that scream out to me are buddy and Heeney which are out of my price range.
