maybe get rid or matin for bastinac so you can save 100k and upgrade ashley mcgrath

Ok start up team. I reckon the backs and forward lines need more fire power. i counted 3 premiums between both lines.

Defence could use some work. Mcgrath and everitt won't score high and i think you should trade 1 or both out. Mcphee could be a smokie if he fits into freo.
Midfield - i think too much money has been spent here. i reckon sylvia could be moved into the forward line and replaced by a cheapie (palmer, mcveigh or rookie perhaps). this could open up more money.
Rucks are set and pretty good.
Forwards are really dependant on all those guys steeping up to the next level this year. Lecras is said to be playing up forward this year. Side bottom ain't garanteed a spot in the collingwood 22 as a midfielder. Ziebell is a decent pick if he stays fit.

Ash mcgrath was thrown in last on available money.. He improved ~25dt points last year but may have max'd out. Joel mcdonald was a possibility here and he may get a new lease on life at melbourne.

Andrejs Everitt will be interesting.. alot will depend on the NAB cup. The bulldogs fought to keep him on their list when many clubs showed interest in him during the offseason. There has to be a reason why he stayed. I'm game to keep him on the radar.. for now.

The tactic i was going with was to start with a solid midfield/ruck & weaker backs/forwards .. then slowing upgrading the backs/forwards as the season progresses, which is why the majority of the players in those positions i see as people who will improve in value.

Cheers for the feedback guys :)
