First crack, trying to go a little bit away from the norm without missing the value premiums. Please be critical, any feedback appreciated!

Well Sam  looks good I will be going with the stacked midfield , but I think you need one more quality player in your defense at the expense of your midfield , but apart from that your ratios look good it is just a matter who you pick , like everyone I'm sure you will be swapping and changing players cheers.

Solid Team Sam. As usual Sam do not comment on actual rookie choices unless feel the need to as they may change.

Def: Looks a little shaky with Pedersen at D3.
Mids: Very strong probably a little too strong at the expense of other lines
Rucks: Would prefer a ruck emergency that may play - Look at Gawn, Daw etc Gawn imo will get opportunities this year with the departure of Martin.
Fwds: Very Solid but seeing you have the R/F DPP look at possibility of obtaining one in team.

Suggestions drop may be 2 mid prems one to Ball or Embley and one to a Rookie.

Use cash gained to get another prem defender in and also maybe a forward ruck DPP.

Hard to rate this team as an entirely different structure has been used.  With prems in mids could be 8/10 but then pulled back by the absence of prems in defence.

Nice team. I hope Breuuuuuuuuust explodes this year! Obvious change for me would be to downgrade O'Keefe, and upgrade a one of your backs to Gibbs.

[Samm79]

Cheers gents,

Sound advice. Have turned one of the back rookies into Gibbs, Cochin to Viney and Martin to Cox. Dingo, I hope to squeeze a playing R3 along side the ever popular McBean when balancing rookies. The bye round split is 11/9/10, so not unhappy with that either.

Joshnhawk, will keep O'Keefe at this stage, relishing he new inside role that he has fallen into in the past 15 or so games, expect him to average 115-120 although I can be a biased Swannies man!

How are we looking gents?

Solid again

Just remember with bye Rounds best 18 scores will count so structure not as important as in previous years. Basically we will have to set up teams so we have has many prems as possible playing each week to take advantage.

Not sold on Pedersen overall but just personal.  May benefit at Dees though.

Still very strong in mids - ROK may be a sound POD  for you. Just have a concern with Murph this year if he gets a tag as we have seen in the past he does not handle well.

With 30 trades this year you can afford a speculative pick or 2. Can still afford to play with mids to free up cash if desired.

Will give this team a 8.5/10 rating
