Backs - most well balanced teams have 4 premiums with a Lake type @ D5. Your 3 premiums share the bye in round 13 as well. Usually either /or wrt Lake / Clarke.

Mids - A strong line which is detracting from your ability to have a solid defence. I think you need Ablett. You probably need to ease up a bit here and try to pick more rookies to make you money later.

Rucks - very strong. Look at Redden rather than Stephenson on NAB form.

Forwards - Nice line but again maybe one high scoring reliable type short.

Good luck and I'm guessing we'll be seeing an updated version sometime later today.  ;)

Imo every team will have one weak line just depends where you want it would downgrade McCarthy and upgrade Porpz or Clarke, if Magner does not get named round 1 i would get rid of him and there's better options then D.Smith not keen on Croyzier to skinny and Zorko been injured

i think your backline can survive with just the 3 prems. of course lake and ellis need to perform well to be upgraded later in the season.
not sure about watson and sandilands though. i think theyre a tad overpriced and your money can be spent on better things.

rookies look good though. i might consider the 1+3 ruck stradegy to get one more prem forward coz im not trusting many of the forward rookies except maybe smedts, kerridge and D smith but they can be used in other positions

Apart from rookie review, I think this is final.  Thoughts??

Still have a concern with all 4 of your def prems having the bye in Round 13.  Can you afford 2 donuts in Defence.  maybe just look at replacing one with Heath Shaw, Adcock or Broughton,
Apart from that issue good selection of premiums.
