MID: S.Pendlebury,M. Boyd, G. Ablett, S. Thompson, D.Smith, J.McDonald (A.Kennedy, J. Magner)

FWD: P.Chapman, L. Franklin, N. Fyfe, D. Martin, S. Sidebottom, J.Porplyzia, J.Cameron (A.Saad, A. Hall)

CASH LEFT: $14,100

Comments:
DEF: Hoping Broughton continues on pre-season form making 4 premo's.
MID: 2 DPP with fwd links. 4 premo's
RUC: Risk with 3 rooks but money to be made here. 1 premo
FWD: Martin and Sidebottom to step up and become premo this year for the fwds. 4 DPP with mid links. 5 premo's

Hopefully that gives me 14 keepers and I need 8 upgrades barring injury etc.
I have enough mid/fwd dpp to hopefully cover a few injuries and trades.

Thoughts, comments, suggestions greatly appreciated.

I like it a lot, I'm not a huge fan of chappy this year just because of his age and price, Goodes Pav or Cloke I would rather tbh. other than that I really like it.

to be honest i think this is one of the best teams ive seen on here

Thanks for everyone's feedback. Like most of us on here it is literally a hundred hours worth of research, thinking etc.

As far as Chappy goes -

I could swap Chappy for Cloke and then upgrade Hargrave to Golby.
What do you think?

Golby's pre season has been good but both he and Hargrave are coming back from injury. Toss of a coin really.
