Trying to stay away from KPP backs and forwards. Trying to have players reaching their peak in their career, besides JB, he should be good for 15 PPG increase which I would happily take.

Besides BJ & Heater, trying to stay away from teams that have changed coach after the end of season 2011....there arent many quality backs that dont have a new coach!!
Have taken Dangerpants as he is training the house down.

Looking at Lions and Tigers players later in the season as I think they have a tough start...players like Rockliffe, Redden, Martin & Lids

Have tried my best to not have more than 2 premiums in each position sharing a bye to avoid wasting trades.

Murphy, BJ & Selwood to share captain duties

Solid initial team and pretty strong forward line.
Rucks would observe Zac Smith pre season to see if he has bulked up and play full season.  If not may be look at Sam Jacobs as a ruck who will also step up this year.

Weakness in backs which may hinder overall chances..

I would add Melbourne and Adelaide to your later rounds strategy as well as they also have an easier second half after a tough first half. Just observe these players against Top sides.

Damn thats a brave team you either know a lot e dont or you just like to gamble :)

I would not have the following and that is all i will say

Hurn/Burgoyne/Kennedy/West/Gray/Dangerfield/Varcoe

It's a good idea in theory but have you researched your theaory in the DT stats? do certain players perform badly against tough opposition? does the sdraw make much difference, teams that absolutely sucked last season still had players who consistantly put out big DT scores.

Still some great picks (rooks will sort themselves out come April) god/shaw/clarke/murph/swallow/selwood/zaka/lewis/sidebum all good picks.

Hey thanks for the heads up about The Cows & The Dees. Will definately make a note of it.

Rds 10 - 15 are going to burn a minimum 10 trades for me I think.
