I'm happy with this team

[Drake12]

DEF - Lake, Gibbs [M], Gilbert, Enright, Deledio [M], Heppell [M], Toy (Smedts, B. Smith, Jacobs [M])

MID - Swan, Boyd, Goddard [D], Swallow, Gaff, Polec (Krakour [F], Caddy, Atley)

RUCK - Sandilands, Cox (Smith, $97k)

FWD - Franklin, N.Riewoldt, Pavlich [M], Brown, Higgins [M], Day, Prestia [M] (Mzungu [M], Tapscott, Darling)

$22.2k to spend

I can use DPP with Goddard in the back line with 4 defenders and Krakour in the forward line 4 players, so I have flexibility. Obvious questions are over Sam Day, Jared Polec and Andrew Krakour, haven't seen them much in other teams so I might be missing something.

I think the question needs to be raised about Krakouer as well - not sure if he will be in the Pies best 22

[Drake12]

Yeah that is true, I'll watch the NAB cup and the round 1 team sheets closely to see how Krakour goes. If he isn't going to make the Pies best 22, I will replace him with Mzungu and then find a rookie forward at this point in time. My whole rookie situation might change completely after the NAB cup.

you are short a bench ruck....

[Drake12]

That's why I put "$97k" there. I don't know who to get, maybe Cordy could impress in this years NAB cup? So too Robert Campbell? So I've put a $97k there for that.
