Give it a rate, coming together nicely

[AndreDrummond]

Like the Shaw to Hanley swap as one is more likely to go up, the other down - and I think you've picked it right. Are you a stockbroker?

5 mid 'keepers' (hopefully) but I think Ablett, Swan, Beams, Danger and Watson could all be better than some you've got, which means more trades burnt or fewer points. (If I'm right).

Don't know how much you gain by Jacobs to Maric. Can this money be better used elsewhere?

Unlike some relatives (our poor retarded cousin) I like your team - a lot.

8.4/10 - need Ablett.

Hahaha, pretty much a stock broker hey ;)

Shaws role may change regularly with the inclusion of Russell and I am unsure of what the role may be, and Hanley is a jet in the making!

I like the pick of Selwood this year though, I feel he will be up there with the swans and pendlburys this year, he seems like he has really upped is fitness over the summer, fittest he has ever looked imo.

Also the pick of Maric is due to his work around the ground, with the new ruck rules I thought I would pick a for ruckman due to the fact that the rucking rules have changed which makes for ruck man able to get to more contests! Just my opinion though, also going very ballsy without gaz, I know it will more then likely not pay off, but I can just create a much better team without him I feel.

Cheers mate!

As I have said a couple of times with everyone jumping on Maric unless you are upgrading Berger both share round 11 bye,  Currently you have 6 prems out in Round 11 including Berger,  Just a thought which is why I would have kept Jacobs who has the round 13 bye.  Do not think you loose too much between Jacobs and Maric,
Like the uniqueness with Sloane,
Goodes (assuming Brett) possibly better alternative mid rookies available.  DPP not as important with 30 trades and best 18 counting in byes.

Jury still out for another couple of weeks on rookies.  Just watch for those that will play.

Nice team that I rate 8/10

UPDATED TEAM : Shaw to Hanley and Jacobs to Maric + rookie changes.
Backs: Goddard, Gibbs, Hanley, Yarran, Pittard, Docherty (Terlich, Colquohn)

Mids: Pendlebury, Kennedy, Selwood, Murphy, Sloane, Goodes, Crouch, O'Meara (Mitchell, Viney)

Ruck: Maric, Leuenberger (Daw, Moller)

Forwards: Buddy, Cox, Rockliff, Wright, Byrnes, Macaffer (Neade, Paparone)

I know you may think why Moller, but I am going to use him as the captain loophole as it is very easy to do now with the rolling lockout.

Thoughts?

I do like this structure and have been considering using it myself. It's very well balanced without any section being weak.

I'd consider adding in a Ruck DDP to make full use of Cox (maybe Rowe) in addition to what the others have said. Also consider Grimes instead of Hanley, both are tipped to spend more time in the midfield but Grimes has the round 12 bye which might work out better for you.

All up, 8.5/10

There won't be a weekly Captain lupehole, why would VS allow such a travesty? Don't coun't on this! Simply won't happen
