Nice team mate, just keep an eye on pre-season form, especially players returning from injury such as Daisy Thomas.

[Ringo]

Nice Team first up with some interesting uniques.

Def: Like the pick of Yarran but may be a bit risky for D4.
Mids: Interesting pick with Lids - one of the first teams I have seen with him in. (Most preferring Cotchin). Would prefer Rocky in the forwards though.
Rucks: Solid with another nice unique pick with McEvoy.  Always in the Top 10 rucks and flies under the radar,
Fwds - Daisy may be underdone given lack of pre season so watch.

Suggestions Move Rocky to replace Thomas and get another prem mid to replace,  Not sure of how much cash you have but see if you can get Broughton at D4 to take advantage of Stakers DPP as well.

No comments on rookies. Watch

Rate 8.5/10

[Frozensage]

Someone told me D Thomas is out for the first couple of weeks. Might want to look into that as I had him in my FWD too but now replaced with Bartel.

[Ringo]

Solid team now

Def: Just watch suns use of Broughton to see whether he is a KPP defender otherwise Sound
Mids: Do not like Bartel in mids but your choice. Can be easily changed for similar,
Rucks: Do not mind McEvoy as a POD sound
Fwds: Sound Breust may have a break out year and be a nice POD for year,

Rate Team 8/10

Well only reason i have Bartel is for the swapping with Rocky... Is the DPP important from Mid to Forward? If not who would you suggest in place of Bartel? Priddis?

[Ringo]

Personally I think this year with 30 trades and only the best 18 scores counted during byes DPP loses its importance a lot.

Leave it to you to decide who to replace bartel with - Priddis will give you constant scores and play every game but will not belt out the big scores that happen from time to time. Not the worst.  You may like to take the Gamble on Fyfe. Shuey or Gaff but your choice.

[Pkbaldy]

Who do you think will be the best POD out of, Shuey, Gaff, Fyfe, Sloane or Jack Steven?

[Ringo]

Wish I had the crystal ball to pick.  Of the list my personal opinion is Gaff or Shuey.

[Pkbaldy]

Fiddled around a bit doing a few changes! Tell me what you guys think

[Pkbaldy]

Pretty well revamped my side after watching most of the pre-season. Tell me what you all think!

Defenders: Goddard, Gibbs, Duffield, Heppel, Docherty, Colquhoun, Terlich, Wright

Midfielders: Ablett, Pendlebury, Dangerfield, Selwood, Hannebery, Toumpas, Wines, Crouch, O'Meara, Viney

Rucks: McEvoy, Leuenberger, Rowe, Witts

Fowards: Franklin, Rockliff, Robinson, Kennedy. J, Varcoe, Macaffer, Neade, Lee

Cash left: $117,500

I know i got one less (premium) in the forwards but i can see Kennedy, Varcoe and Macaffer making half decent scores.
And i'm still hung on if i'll get Hannebery, Fyfe or Steven... Any feedback would be amazing!

[Majak]

I like the team a lot. not sold on the heppel pick as i dont think he gets enough of the ball, although generally being good when he has it. fowards look a tad weak as you are taking a gamble on both f3 and f4, mainly kennedy. out of those mids listed i would go hannebery with fyfe closely behind him :)

[Pkbaldy]

Thanks for the feedback Majak! :D

What do you guys think of moving Heppel > Ben Jacobs (NTH) and Kennedy > Matthew Wright (ADE)

At the moment if i keep myself with a good team and a good cap i'll keep Fyfe, he has the 110+ Potential!

[johnnytheboy1]

Def: Solid but would get rid of Colquhoun and replace him with Stevenson. Leave Heppell in your team
Mids:Very impressive Mids think Hanneberry will score highly, Toumpas is also a good pick
Rucks:
Good Choice of Ruck in Mcevoy
Fwds: Little weak here but should work out well if Kennedy scores highly.

8/10
