Honestly not a fan of Scotland, and never trusted Suckling. But premium decisions are all yours, especially when there are a lot of options. Waters is unique, and could pay off, but watch him as you may not expect what you previously expected of him, come NAB cup time. I like your midfield, although not sure on McDonald at all. I would lean more to downgrading him.

8.5/10

Nice team I think.

Not sure about Waters & Lake as they both have/had injury concerns. Maybe get an extra prem & downgrade one.
Like the pick of J. Allen, he is def on my radar come NAB.

I see what you are trying to do in the mids but are Swallow & Barlow both keepers?

I'd only take one of Zaha & Brown, not sure both are keepers. Pfeiffer is still on the rookie list.

I'm leaning towards Pav (back to his old SC preferred posi) instead of Fyfe. Fyfe is coming back from injury plus might get some more attention. Upgrade target & I suspect he will be.

Saad, if you want to take the risk, I don't. He's going to replace who? Milne.....?

Yeah Scotland and Suckling are 2 of the few i'm not too sure about. Not to sure how i would downgrade Mcdonald though at 106,600

Definitely alot to think about. Am set on Swallow though with a 111.9 Ave last year i only see him getting better.
