I live in Guadalupe, Mexico and would appreciate the feedback.

What's it like in Mexico?

The team looks really strong, but if you want to avoid starting 2 rookies in the backline, you could downgrade one of your mids to Heppell (I know he's in your backline) and then upgrade the spot where Heppell was in your backline.

9/10 for the team though.

8/10 from me.

1. look for a stronger starting defender rookie.
2. Interesting midfield, definitely to watch out the pre-season for. Hopefully u can watch NAB cup in Mexico if you'll still be there.. touring?
3. Derickx may not play as often as you'd like, try Macdonald (Melb)
4. Good forwards, don't know much about Gray so i hope u know more about him than me.
5. How much do u have in the bank?

Good Stuff, I'm glad, Luigi

PS: nice thread name, though i think i've seen a name of that once, or twice, or seven other times before :D ;D

Thanks for the suggestions will alter team accordingly.
don't really live in mexico just wanted to generate some interest.
actually live in Darwin so it's just as remote.

like Gray this year, Nab form permitting could be a steal.

[Phantom]

have 25k in the bank

Risky backs other than the 2 guns of course!

i can see why though...so you can get that extra premuim in the midfield.

and i don't realy like 2 starting rookies in the back and fwd line, your better off playing an extra one in the midfeild and play a mid player in the fwds like Goodes/Sylvia etc etc

good luck

lol can u properly update your team so put them back in order...?? just makes its easier for us..  ;)

[Phantom]

is that what you meant?
in order of Price sort of thing??

[Knowall]

Decent team
Not sure about Waite possibly better options.
Im not a fan of having 3 rookies starting in the mid.  Ull have 3 rookies on the bench in the mids theres plenty of money to make there so upgrade one of ur starting mids apart from that good team.
8/10

8/10 - solid.

Backs all good. I don't personally like Waite but he is fine if he fits your structure. Drummond is fine too, just not sure he will play much more than 8-10 games though (watch his pre-season I s'pose). keep an eye on your GC bench with Coad and Toy cos GC have their byes in Rd1 & Rd9.

Mids also solid - just say Atley may have issues breaking into that Nth Melb mid rotation - check depth charts closer to kick-off.

Fwds not bad. I don't personally like Gray and would offer R Petterd or C Knights as cheapie options. I'm a Swans supporter so I like Jed Lamb (hoping he'll be a great player for the bloods) but not sure if he can break the fwd rotation at Sydney early on (maybe a downgrade target for later??) - lots of small fwd types to get ahead of in pecking order, again check depth charts

what are you up to in Mexico?? ;)
