Is this a joke?

whats so funny   ???

Your midfield is ridiculously weak, and you are putting far too much faith in rookies. Sumner will struggle to get games. Morabito has no scoring history. Mitchell is in the rehab group at the Swans. Kavanagh is too slight to play regular games. Docherty is competing with Adcock and Drummond to be the rebounding defender.

Take the byes into consideration for each line. For example both of your starting ruckman will be unavailable during the round 11 byes so switch one of them for a player from the round 12 or 13 byes.

Downsize some premiums in your backline to rookies, upgrade some rookies in your mids to premiums and move Zaha to the fwd line.

Post your updated team once you've done that.

Love it!

Don't mind Meow, he's like that with everyone.  He does have a big point though.  Midfielders are the most important point scorers in your team and starting with less then three heavy weights isn't advisable.  Your backline is carrying too much cash, so downgrade there and juice up your mids.  (id suggest J. Selwood and Ablett for a start)

Yeah, meow's not the nicest poster.

But yeah, your midfield will cripple you, though a nice unique looking team.

after boosting my midfeild and accounting for the byes this is what i have come up with. only minor tweaking for any rookies and any injuries to premiums that stand out in the nab cup
also managed to get quite a lot of dpp coverage. any further suggestions? note will trade out  giles before round 11 for cash and also for coverage for my premiums

Although Zaharakis and Delidio are DPP would prefer to see them in appropriate line as defence or forwards. With DPP I usually use Rookie DPP if i can as it allows to play them in correct line and move to mids when desired eg if you were to swap Docherty and Delidio in your team you have the flexibilty of using Docherty to move either Goddard or Delidio to mids as required. Watch the NAB Cup and if DPP rookies are performing  use them as bench mids.  Just a suggestion you may wish to ponder. I will be looking at Luke Brown and Zorko initially in the NAB cup to fill these roles in my team.
Also do not think that Lids or Zaha will score as high as other mids.

You have said you will upgrade Giles  so that eliminates the possibility of Ruck Donut in Round 11
My suggestion for you is to switch Docherty and Delidio.
Move Zaha to the forwards at the expense of Brown or Riewoldt and bring in another prem mid.

Reasonably solid team and with further tweaking will be A1.
