TBH i dont much like it. It seems that you have gone with nab cup form over proven dreamteamers.

Peddles over swan. Now you might feel otherwise but it seems that you and many other coaches have veered away from swan. Be wary, the brownlow meddlist often has a misleading formslump during the nab cup. DONT GET FOOLED. Last year he was the one player that you could rely on to pull a 130+ (when he was fit)

Mitch Golbey - he is a Brisbane defender that has strung a couple of good games together against illequipped rookies, but can he peform the same against full strength teams?

Dangerfield - How manny pre seasons must this man tease us with before we learn not to put him in. If you want to be pulling your hair out then be my guest, pick this ticking time bomb.

Mcarthy - Collingwood reject, could pan out, but to be honest how manny touches do you think the Port Adelade midfield will get?

Waters - I had him last season, picked him up for cheep and he broke his elbow three weeks later. I monitored him after his return and never quite was the same, he seems to be back to his form of old, Good pick.

Hargrave - i just dont know about him, he is so cheep how could you pass him up? But I would say only put him in if necessary, as he isnt a clear cut, beast. 

Giles as 2nd Ruck - This is not the path that i took but it might pan out for some, i dont see why not good pick.

All in all i feel that you have cut corners on too many preseason prospects. Perhaps downgrade 1 of them to a rookie and upgrade the other to a premium - i would surgest downgrade Golby -> Rookie and then Dangerfield -> Premo or vica versa, just to minimize the risk in this team.

Rookie selection seems fine, although i havent heard of any of the Dog rookies. And also be wary of having no Dane Swan.

Other premium choices seems good

Altogether 7.5/10

wow, if you don't have Pendlebury, Dangerfield or Hargrave AND you don't rate Golby, Waters and McCarthy your team must be a 5/10

Swan is going to Arizona AGAIN...


& how can you not heard of Clay Smith or Tory Dickson?

but i do get where you're coming from! but I'd much rather Danger+Golby than Premo+Rook, because the upside to the 1st option is much greater!
gotta risk it for the biscuit ;)
