Pretty happy with this. All lines pretty strong i dont think any line is a weakness
Rocky probably wishful thinking but easily replaced by robbo or pav

Let me know what you think, ratings would be great, thanks!

[aces-high]

Cant really fault it mate!

All lines look great! Wouldnt mind seeing you trade gray who may be a little off at the start of next year to bock which would create a very handy dpp link. We will have to wait a while before we can lock in our rookies but the ones you have look great.

Overall a 9 imo. One of the best teams i've seen so far and a very similar layout to mine ;) great stuff!

[Mr.Craig]

Vlastuin is an interesting one, should get games but isn't quite at the same scoring level as other mid rookie options.

One guy I'm amazed I'm not seeing in people's teams is Lachie Hunter. I know there are some question marks about his JS but he averaged 113DT this season! He could lose 40 points off that and still be a great pick.

I think I'm on record as saying I quite like your team roti and nothing has changed. :)

Vlastuin is meant to be viney but I think vlastuin will be a solid pick. Can you sell hunter to me I have no idea who he is but that sounds very nice. Thanks for that, yeh thought i might have already posted this team but couldn't find where so I updated haha

Thanks for the comment and for the bock suggestion, hadn't thought about that, i've gone a bit cold on gray as apparently he wont play NAB but didnt see another justifiable option, you've given me one!

Here's my post on Hunter -

http://www.fanfooty.com.au/forum/index.php/topic,68079.msg902725.html#msg902725

He would have gone around pick 10-15 if he hadn't been a Father/Son pick, so he's basement priced. He's already familiar with how things work at the Bulldogs so should fit in nicely. He averaged 26 disposals  and 4.5 tackles in the TAC, takes heaps of marks for a shortish bloke and loves kicking a goal.

From The Age earlier this month -

Hunter spent much of last season in a running role for the Western Jets, but said he had focused this year on improving his inside game playing as a forward and through the midfield.

The 17-year-old left footer recorded the quickest agility run at this week's draft combine, running the course in eight seconds flat.

"I'd always played mainly outside footy, but's changed this year to mainly inside because that was a focus the Bulldogs gave me. The outside stuff has gone away a bit this year, but hopefully I'll be able to combine the two later on," Hunter said.

Oh i remember him now, always had it in my head he was a tall forward and being F/S have never really looked at him. great right up will definitely be keeping an eye out

[Spinking]

Really like that lineup Roti.  Good mix of kids and premos.  Obviously closer to the season we will see which of those kids are most likely to play, or whether the mid pricers will all be worth the punt, but that structure looks really solid and is one of the best rounded teams Ive seen at this stage.

Nice work mate!

Pretty similar teams its just you lose a defence premo for two mid-pricers plus you upgrade one of your forward premos.

Would love to hear your thoughts

[Mr.Craig]

Probably the new team but there's not much in it.

I am a fan of team 2, but take it with a grain of salt because it has only about 5 players different from my own team. :)

I think Bock is a quite risky, along with gray but pedo, ball and Lecras are very solid for their price.

Plus you can always go Gray to Varcoe and use the extra $$ to do something

Thanks Spite some good points you raise, how about this?

Backs: Very cookie-cutter. That's a good thing. A very solid line, with noone from this year's draft, meaning more JS. 9/10

Mids: Again, fairly cookie-cutter. Can't really go past Pendles and Murph at their prices. Ball will lead to an early upgrade, and your rooks are good, although I have a feeling that there might be a few mid rooks to explode in their first season... keep an eye out. This ranking would be 10/10, if you went Cotch=> Swan. 9/10

Rucks: One thing I do like about your team is that you haven't gone Grundy/Daniher as automatic R3/4. Look at Billy Longer last year, was nowhere near good enough for R3 or 4 at his price. Whereas Daw and to a lesser extent Witts have had some time in the system to prove themselves. 9.5/10

Fwds: I'm turning away from Franklin in 2013 (you can see more in my comments in his player profile). Robbo and Zaha are underpriced for what they can do, but I wouldn't go Martin partially for this (http://www.afl.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/208/newsid/150658/default.aspx), and also because of some of his work last season. I'd rather jump on him if he does prove himself in 2013. Bock provides good DPP, but wait until Broughts is given F/B... LeCras is a lock. Your rooks are alright, Morton should get games, but don't expect 22, as he was replacing McGlynn during the finals series. I wouldn't expect a high average from Macaffer, as he seems a prime sub candidate, and I haven't heard much about Lee. Like your mids, try and look for some rooks from the draft... 8.5/10

Overall: This is a really good team, just look around for some good rooks in the draft (with the exception of in your backs, you need all the JS you can get!)  9/10

I agree with Stew, very solid team. There's only 5 players different between my team at the moment too  8)

Stew you mentioned him going Cotch to GAJ, pretty sure he already has GAJ in there... :P

My bad, meant Swan :D Also, in case anyone's interested, our differences are that I don't have: Birchall, Docherty, Murphy, Ball, Crouch, Viney, Witts (although a similar type of player...), Franklin, Martin, Bock, Macaffer, Morton or Lee. But I also have left $157k in the cap
