I think that's looking much better balanced Toga. :) Can't really knock any of those picks, aside from Howard who I think is an almighty spud. Who knows, maybe he will breakout but I feel like it's a serious gamble.

cheers for your input mate! :)

yeah not too sure about howard myself tbh... i'll probably either:
1. Turn him into Harbrow (but that's probably just as risky)
2. Turn him into a rookie and upgrade knighter to a fwd premo...

[Toga]

EDIT: C. Howard is now C. Pederson after he has been traded to Melbourne, massive value there.

I've been trying to squeeze Pedersen in too. Averaged 96.8 in the VFL last season and might have a better chance at translating that form at Melbourne.

I've replaced Pittard, Buddy and Mayes with Pedersen, Lewis and Stringer. Not sure if I'll stick with that though.

Aren't you worried that since Brisbane have picked up Moloney that it would hamper rockys midfield time? He has already spent a fair bit of time in the forwards, I think it may even get cut some more...

that's a good point actually, hadn't even thought about it!

but a 93.5 average is still very good for a fwd, if he can replicate that with the possibility of going bigger i'd accept that. will watch closely over NAB though, might turn him into someone else before rd 1

Good replacements.
What's your thinking with swapping Franklin to Lewis? Free up cash, or do you seriously think he will outscore Buddy?
Because I'm rather tempted to do the same thing...Lewis is a pretty handy unique I reckon.

It was the only way I could afford to get Pedersen in. I wasn't willing to downgrade anyone else because I'm really happy with the squad I have atm. To be honest, I doubt Lewis will keep his DPP so I'll probably have to revisit that eventually.

Gotta have buddy craig, we play the bullies in the first few rounds don't we? No lake buddy's gonna run riot.

[Capper]

Nice team Toga but i dont like Pedo or Knights JS and Knights is too expensive for me

Also Nicnat is more of a SC player than DT

Aside from GC/GWS. guess who Jordan's best team is... ;)

Hopefully they'll all run riot. :D

thanks mate - i might look at trading knights to robbie gray if he's back in time, or doing a downgrade/upgrade with pedo and knights... but i reckon they've both got decent JS - melbourne was so keen on recruiting him and with stef martin leaving i think that opens the door for him, and knights fills a gap in the tigers line-up so should get games early imo... but honestly, i think gray has more upside to, I'm just worried about that injury.

NicNat is my smokey next year 8) the new ruck rules are set to benefit him hugely, will be a dominator next year...

that said, if i can find the money to upgrade to ivan i would haha

[Toga]

EDIT: new version.

I've dropped Swanny for Luke Ball to free up a bit of cash, allows me to make a few changes elsewhere on the field:
