cant fault it m8

but not sure about having 2 prem Pies players in the mids i'm not really sure why i don't like it byes for one i guess and if Pies have a poor game then 2 of your mids scores might be lowered not sure if it makes sense but anyway

It does make sense, I had up to 7 or 8 Pies at stages last year and it exposed me to any poor performances they might have. Didn't matter too much in the end though. Cotch and Redden have a different bye to Collingwood so there's no serious issue as far as the byes.

I feel pretty good about the structure along with the premos and midpricers. Just need to make sure I nail those rookies.

Actually a pretty solid team mate.

Only thing is Toumpas, I don't think he will get alot of game time. How about Viney?

no point looking to closely at rookies at this stage

I was mucking around with a 3/5 midfield...

Replaced Redden/Wood/Stringer with Crouch/Bock/Zaharakis. Better or worse than the previous team in your opinion?

Seeing as you have Leuy, Wines and Le Frenchman in there, it's probably better to have the extra $$$.
I personally wouldn't go Birchall, but other than that your backline is superb. 9.5/10
Mids are reduced a bit, but your rooks are good (I'd be surprised if they weren't!  :o). If Hunter is named Rnd 1, I'm taking him! 8.5/10
Good rucks. 9/10
Your fwds are good, with interesting smokey in Pearcey. All I'll say is good luck! At least your cover is good  ;) 8.5/10
Overall 8.9/10 This is a damn good team, and I hope it fits in the cap!


PS. I rated your latest team.

very solid defence, perhaps spending too much money on it though.

Solid Mid, but i think take a defender out and put another premo mid in.

nothing to pick apart in the ruck, very nice

Very solid but not sold on Pearce, i think you can do better like Martin maybe.

overall a solid line up 8.5/10

I know. Sticking to my guns. :)

It'll still need some tweaking here and there.

[kilbluff1985]

nice strong team m8 not sure about 5 premo mids though

[Mr.Craig]

A 4/1/5 midfield variation...

CASH LEFT: $1,900

[stew42]

That is scarily close to my team, although I downgraded a fwd premo to a rook and have $250k left over.
Backs are exactly the same  :o :o :o
