would be silly move trading Petrie for kosy. Kosy out for the first 4 weeks of season.

Gilbert wont get the ball as much of if he continues in the forward line. Grimes or broughton better options.

Should have another mid range defender so only 1 rook starts on the field.

Id personally use the extra cash to have a 4th gun in my mid. With 24 trades this year you can easily use 2 after rd 2 and still have plenty spare. If any of my guns fail after 2 rnds i plan to jump on either good kids or med ranges players - Anthony, rich, palmer, kennedy etc... whoever have starts well im there. Then will be best to have cash spare, not at the start

Backs: I'd watch Gilbert - might be a good unique, but might not be what he has been - positional change to fwd line, means no cheap ball zoning off in the back half. Imo Deledio is a must have!!

Mids: Really good - pretty stock standard starters, but some unique rookies on the bench adds interest.

Rucks: Again, interesting bench - I like it! But might be worth getting a cheap fwd/ruck MPP so you can utilise Petrie in the ruck when needed...

Fwds: Watch your forwards - Chapman may not even play Rd.1 & Dids has had an interrupted preseason - if they're either not playing or not firing come Rd.1, might want to think about Nick Riewoldt, Pav or Cyril instead. Like Zaha as a unique.

*** The No. 1 thing you MUST do: Bring Cam Richardson into your side right now!!! Personally, I'd have him instead of McKernan any day of the week - he's listed as a fwd in SC, but in reality he's an attacking, rebounding half back flanker, who will score much higher the a KPP like McKernan - who isn't even very sure of getting game time with Tippett & Walker ahead of him. ***

Hope those thoughts help a little. But a good side!  :)
