Pre NAB team- Peptides Plus

[The_duke]

Hello everyone, looking for a bit of help with team building this year and I'm wondering if I can get everyone's input.
I've gone with 2 rookies-mature aged players in backline/mid/forward, and it is these players that I am most looking for help with:
Is Cam Perdersen going to get a run with Melbourne, and more importantly is he going to score points?
Will Jaspar Pittard and Brent Staker score?

I've also tried to go with a few somewhat unique players too: I think Atley from NTH will break out this year, and I think Varcoe will also have a great year from all the positive things I've been hearing.
Anyway, my team

Peptides Plus

firstly staker is injured and not expected to play round 1 or after and so is dale thomas, guerra is a hack go for duffield kerr is too old go for maybe fyfe otherwise decent team

Staker will need to be traded imo - he injured himself last week and will most likely miss the NAB.
Thomas injured also - look to trade them both out and perhaps consider Rockliff instead.

Carazzo, Kerr and Guerra are interesting choices - for me, there are plenty of better SC-relevant players for much cheaper.

Thanks for the suggestions so far! I've made some changes to the original team: highlighted in bold

Backs: H.Shaw, Gibbs, Heppell, Atley, Goodes, Pittard (Docherty, Terlich)

Midfield: Pendlebury, Cotchin, Swallow, Priddis, Fyfe Moloney, Menzel, O'Meara (Vlastuin, Viney)

Rucks: Cox, Leunberger (Rowe, McBean)

Forwards: Franklin, Pavlich, Rockliff, Varcoe, Byrnes, Macaffer (Neade, Lee)

Cash Remaining: $60,100

Kerr, whilst a stalwart in my teams for the past few years, I have noticed had been a lot more inconsistant and hence I replaced him with Priddis who did well in the NAB and has the last few years.
Fyfe was a straight replacement for Carrazzo.

Rockliff for D.Thomas, as suggested.

I've also gone off the Goddard bandwagon, I did have high hopes for him this year and still think that he will star at the Bombers but I might hold off for now. Replaced with H.Shaw. Heppell has also come in for Guerra, and Goodes in for Moloney.
Now my issue is that I have 60k in the bank sitting pretty!

No more suggestions???

Pavlich has had a showere preseason, I was keen on having him but I've now decided he's more of an upgrade target. See if he gets a NAB run but I believe he copped an injury...

Any suggestions for Pavlich replacement?

Zorko, Naitanui, Walker?
