Very new to DT, help appreciated!

[Shale175]

Hello,

I'm quite new to AFL DT. Would like to come to work after round one and rub some smug noses in a decent score! What do you guys think of my team so far? Are there any big changes I should make?

Backs

Scotland, Goddard, Suckling, Heppel, D Grimes, M Clarke, Sierakowski
(Bugg, S Morris)

Mids

Swan, Ablett, Mitchell, Barlow, Pfeiffer, Shiel
(L Brown, J Macdonald)

Rucks

Cox, Giles
(Witts, Stephenson )

Fwds

Franklin, Beams, Robinson M, Martin D, Sidebottom, Saad, Treloar
(Zorko, Cameron J)


Any help would be very appreciated!

Backs:
Premiums are good choices. Only problem i see with them are that 3 have the same bye (Goddard, Scotland, and Suckling). Maybe turning one of them into a Adcock or Hanley who have better byes and frees up some more cash.

As for Rookies, I don't know much about D.Grimes and Sierakowski. B.Ellis is a good option and so is Ryan Hargrave for a bit more.

Mids:
First three are good choices, not sure about Barlow though, he's had a niggle throughout the pre-season. Maybe upgrade to Boyd/Thompson/Rockliff/Redden if you can.

Watch Shiel, we are all hoping that he's right for Rd 1, Pfeiffer should be fine, he may be better in the Fwds though. McDonald is fine, but i'd go Someone like Clifton over L.Brown.

Rucks:
Cox is good, Giles is fine, Big O will be good as a 4th ruck, not sure about Witts. Redden from Port is a better option.

Forwards:
5 ticks in the forwards, all good options. Personally i'd dorp one of the pies and get Pav or Goodes, and I don't like Robinson for this year, but i understand why people have him.

Saad, Cameron are good, Zorko may not be ready for Rd 1 (Where Pfeiffer comes back in) and haven't heard alot about Treloar.



Overall, good side, no drastic changes needed, just got players under injury clouds.

Thanks very much for the good advice! A little more tinkering and hopefully good to go for Rd1.

[its me lads]

DEF:heppel is not the best option and d. grimes shouldnt be there and clarke hasnt show that much still watch him.

MID: good mids but barlow isnt convincing me atm. his leg troubles interupting pre season is steering me away from him.

RUCK: witts should be swapped for redden or stephenson the rest are good.

FWD: fowards are good. but robinson could be swapped for someone better to improve it like pav or fyfe
