Backs : Bryce Gibbs (B/M), Grant Birchall, Domenic Cassisi (B/M), Reece Conca, Daniel Nicholson (B/C), Matthew Jaensch (B/F), Nathan Bock (B/F); Bench : Luke Davis, Luke Brown

Mids : Jobe Watson, Scott Thompson, Luke Ball, Andrew Embley, Chad Wingard, Koby Stevens; Bench : Hayden Crozier (M/F), Brad Crouch

Rucks : Todd Goldstein, Matthew Leuenberger; Bench : Nathan Vardy, Brodie Grundy

Forwards : Matthew Pavlich, Jack Riewoldt, Jarryd Roughead (R/F), Taylor Walker, Robbie Gray (C/F), Mark LeCras, Mark Nicoski; Bench : Brent Macaffer, Brent Staker

Defence: The selection of Cassisi is interesting would rather see Hartlett back there, Nicholson and Jaensch can be a success or a massive failure, Jaensch is battling a few other guys for his spot. Conca should reach a new level. Davis and Brown are questionable rookies.

Mids: Will Thompson maintain his high average as the blokes around him improve, Ball and Embley coming back from injury can Embley get back to his best at 31, Stevens is a good pick the successor of Boyd. Still not sure about Crouch would rather see another young rookie in there apart from Crozier, Can he still get game time with other free rookies banging on the door.

Rucks: Standard

Forwards: Think Gray may start of quite slow and not get back to his best until mid season, Nicoski may struggle to get back to his 2011 form. LeCras could be the pick of the year. Can Macaffer get back into the pies best 22

Final Say: Not after many first year players which could be a problem Might need another premium mid having one of Ablett, Swan, Beams and Pendles may save you a lot of time later on. 6.5/10

Todd Goldstein, Matthew Leuenberger
Majak Daw, Jarrod Witts)

Steve Johnson, Danny Stanley, Dustin Martin, David Zaharakis, Adam Treloar, Mark LeCras, Jake Stringer
(Brent Staker, Mitch Morton)

Salary cap left: $20,400.

Defence: Like i have stated previously Pederson may find it a bit hard to get into the demons best 22 week in week out, First team ive seen with Ballard in so far neat player and with the DPP could turn into a handy DT selection.

Mids: Like the selection of Redden. Ablett, Cotchin and Pendles solid selections, Macrae may struggle to get games early on depending on which team he goes too will be a good player once he gets going.

Rucks: Standard

Forwards: Intresting selections there with Stanley and Treloar, Treloar may not improve majorly on his 2012 average could reach 85-90 but wouldn't expect much more. Stanley could be a nice POD. Don't like Johnson next year, Stringer is a beast and well worth the selection.

Final Say: Like your team could very well have 17 premiums in your team right now. 8.5/10

TEAM NAME: Ninjas
DEF: B. Goddard, B. Gibbs, G. Birchall, N. Bock, C. Pedersen, S. Docherty, J. Pittard (S. Colquhoun, A. Tipungwuti)
MID: D. Swan, G. Ablett jnr, J. Redden, M. Murphy, L. Ball, B. Crouch (J. O'Meara, T. Temay)
RUC: B. McEvoy, M. Leuenberger (B. Grundy, J. Daniher)
FWD: L. Franklin, S. Johnson, T. Rockliff, D. Zaharakis, R. Gray, M. LeCras, T. Varcoe (B. Staker, T. Lee)
CASH LEFT: $208,900

Defence: Don't think Tipungwuti will get drafted maybe given a lifeline in the rookie draft better options out there.

Mids: Love it Redden is becoming a really popular selection and right so. Temay will become a good pick for you if he pays off don't think he will next year.

Rucks: Like the selection of McEvoy will his input drop with the recruitment of Hickey

Forwards: Again i like it, Gray and Johnson are questionable picks for my liking. Varcoe could struggle to get in the cats best 22 come round 1 and Tom Lee may struggle with games with Kosi and Riewoldt in the line up may be behind a few other falls at Saints

Final Say: Overall i like your team your rookie selections are questionable but could pay off. 8/10

FWD: L. Franklin, D. Zaharakis, C. Sylvia, C. Knights, M. LeCras, R.Gray, A. Boston (M. McDonough, T. Membrey)
Cash: 100k

Defence: Thurlow is a good pick surprised not other teams have him, Osborne don't know much about him could you tell me about him?

Mids: Solid

Rucks: Standard

Forwards: Don't like Sylvia may spend less time in the mids with the recruitment of Barry, Rodan and maybe even Byrnes which leaves him to a more permeant forward role. Boston and McDonough both had really good Carnival. Really like McDonough.

Final Say: Not much to say about this team due to there being not to many faults maybe upgrade 1 of your injury ridden forwards (Sylvia, Knights, Gray, LeCras) 3 may be alright 4 could smell trouble. 8.5/10

First time DTer. Thoughts/opinions?

I'd get rid of Monfries, replace him with Luke Ball/Andrew Embley Use the spare cash to uprade a forward mid pricer to a premium.
I like the Dangerfield pick, but Murphy may be a safer choice.
Bock may not play round 1 so keep an eye on him.

I was always going to put Ball in, but must have totally forgotten. I'm hoping Bock gets up, if not there should be another option.

It would appear I don't know much about him either as I didn't even know he was in my team  ::) I meant to pick T.Smith who was 3 players down. Ooops.

I am playing around with downgrading Murphy to Ball and then upgrading Pedersen, and one of those 3 midpriced forwards to premos.
You raise a good point about Sylvia, I shall have to watch him in the Nab.
Thanks for the comments :)

Osborne could actually be a very astute pick, mature age half-back from the VFL who has dominated and will probably be in the first couple of VFL guys who gets picked up, depending where he goes and if hes likely to play could be a very good pick down back, one to watch for sure

Gary Ablett jnr, Jobe Watson, Marc Murphy, Luke Ball, Andrew Embley, Travis Varcoe
Jaeger O'Meara, Jack Viney

Dean Cox, Todd Goldstein
Matthew Leuenberger, Brodie Grundy

Lance Franklin, Danny Stanley, Clancee Pearce, David Zaharakis, Mark LeCras, Joe Daniher, Sam Kerridge
Brent Macaffer, Brent Staker

Defence: Good to see a team with Tanner Smith in there may slip past the first round which would make him a great cheaper option, Should see game time early next year whether he can maintain selection is another thing. Bock should get back to his best.

Mids: Starting Varcoe in the mids is questionable would select him in the forward line only but thats just me, Risking a lot on the comebacks of Ball and Embley, Ball should get back to his best does Embley still have it but at that price can't go wrong.

Rucks: Gone the set and forget combo, Cox may spend even more time up forward now that Lynch has gone, Will be 31 next season  will be a massive ask for him to continue his excellent Dream Team scores. Should still average a nice score.

Forwards: May struggle to field a starting forward line here, Staker should walk in then question marks surrounding the next 3 , Who knows if Hird would want to persist with the Hurley, Crameri and Daniher at stages during the year, Macaffer will try to show us he can still crack it in the pies best 22 now that younger guys are passing him, Kerridge is in a revolver door at adelaide for a couple of spots.

Final Say: Overall a nice team not a host of players who had severe injuries in the 2012 season no different than any other team though. 8./10

TEAM NAME: POK's Perfectionists

FWD: T.Rockliff, D. Martin, D. Zaharakis, T. Cloke, C. Knights, M. LeCras, J. Stringer (B. Staker, M. Morton)
CASH LEFT: approx $80,000

Defence: Hasn't gone the Grimes pick which everyone seems to be backing on, The sound selections of Houli and Hartlett are smart, Pittard will be in Ports line up come round 1.

Mids: Sound like the choice of Wines seems to have slipped under the eyes so far when picking preliminary dream teams.

Rucks: Standard

Forward: Really good hasn't backed Franklin and the pick of Cloke takes a lot of balls maybe a better option than Morton if Swans get Tippett Morton may find it even hard to crack into the Swans lineup especially with Rohan coming back from injury and the emergence of Jed Lamb.

Final Say: Really like your team well done, not much to say cause not much i don't like. 8.5/10

Thanks mate, yeah with the rucks went a solid set after this years miserable setbacks. Had Varcoe in the mids mainly for that C/F link unless there is anyone better for that spot? I think Embley should be good. Came back with a 94 and some other decent scores late this year so I think he should be good and slot back onto the wing.
