[dmac07]

DEF: R.Laird, L.Whitfield, L.McDonald Z.Williams, D.Grainger-Barass, W.Gould (J.Wehr, A.Fyfe)
MID: L.Neale, T.Mitchell, N.Fyfe,  T.Adams, P.Cripps, W.Phillips, L.Pedlar, T.Powell (R.Collier-Dawkins, C.Durdin, C.Downie)
RUCK: B.Grundy, B.Pruess (J.Treacy)
FWD: P.Dangerfield, R.Marshall, D.Martin, A.Perkins, F.Macrae, N.Cockatoo (J.Rowe, P.Spicer)

I'm quite content with my backs and mids. I'll need to get Lloyd but can't justify his starting price.

Rucks and forwards I'm struggling with. Grundy and Martin are locked but playing round with Pruess/Danger/Marshall. Considering also Gawn/Bolton/Daniher or Marshall (Rk)/Bolton/Heeney. As much as I'm sure Danger will be a top 5 forward, I think his average will drop 5-10 points this year and you can get him cheaper.

Solid mate.
Would probably look at someone for F4 to strengthen them up as going weak there can hurt.
McDonald is an interesting one. I don’t have the balls to do it myself. One good year and maybe he’ll back it up. We’ll see.
Good premo picks though I have ditched Titch due to his post season shoulder reco with 3-4 months of rehabilitation meaning an modified pre season and Cripps is in the same boat.

Although, I don’t have the balls for McDonald either after watching a lot of North games last year (my dad follows them religiously) he’s role has completely changed and he is the north version of Lloyd.

Think he is a really safe bet.

Agree that getting a Ziebell/Daniher type at F4 would really make this a solid team.

Not so sure about MacDonald actually. Zeibell to move into a new role off halfback plus the pickup of Corr who reportedly is also looking at a non lockdown role.
