I think I have a nicely balanced team this year but let me know if you can spot any problems or danger areas.

Backs: Goddard, Gibbs, Deledio, Duffield, Adcock, Jackson Trengove, Otten (Toy, P Faulks, Duigan)

Midfield: Swan, J Selwood, Murphy, Didak, Swallow, Krakouer (Gaff, Atley, Isaac Smith)

Rucks: Sandilands, Jacobs (Zach Smith, Robert Campbell)

Forwards: Riewoldt, Giansiracusa, Gilbert, Pavlich, Knights, Petrie, Prestia (Mzungu, Matera, Callinan)

Cash Left: $11,600

Thoughts?

BGK

Jackson Trengrove in the back line is a strange pick. Personally i don't see him being good enough to make you enough cash to upgrade or score enough points to be a keeper. I would prefer to pick a rookie as your 7th defender, try Puopolo from the hawks. He looks the goods.

Didak is not a good pick even in the forward line at the moment. Had a very interrupted pre season with his surgery. He is up and running and should play round 1 but he looks good for an upgrade. IMO downgrade to another rookie.

Personally i don't like Jacobs try and upgrade him to Cox.

Having both Roo and Gilbert in the forward line will hurt come the bye rounds. Maybe try Higgins, M.Morton or someone else you like the look of for Gilbert.

I also don't like Gia, can score you big but can also come out and have a stinker. But there are worse out there.

Hope it helps

boo-yaa

only thing i'd suggest mate but i'm not expert.
your rucks look a little weak.
and your forward players a bit incosistant.

Hey mate I really like this team and in my opinion is one of my
Favourite I have seen I would only
Change one thing and that's that I'd downgrade didak to a rookie and start gaff and then upgrade Jacobs to cox or Petrie depending on coin :) 9 outa 10 tho mate I really like :)

Yeh I was having trouble with the Trengove spot. Maybe I'll try another rookie in there. About Gilbert's spot, I've had Higgins in the past and he has always been a bit of a let down but you're right that I will suffer when the Saints have a bye. What about downgrading Didak then upgrading Gilbert to Buddy?

And yeh my rucks probably are weak but the second ruck's score doesn't matter much IMO, I'm happy with 50+ if it means I can score bigger elsewhere.

Thanks for the tips!

Ok, here is my updated team:

Backs: Goddard, Gibbs, Deledio, Broughton, Adcock, Otten (Puopolo, Toy, P Faulks or Duigan to be my 7th back and the rest on the bench)

Midfield: Swan, Boyd, J Selwood, Murphy, Swallow, Krakouer (Gaff, Atley, Isaac Smith)

Rucks: Sandilands, Jacobs (Zach Smith, Robert Campbell)

Forwards:Franklin, Riewoldt, Sylvia, Pavlich, Knights, Petrie, Prestia (Mzungu, Matera, Callinan)

Cash Left: $26,000

This is probably a more generic set-up but let me know your thoughts.
