getting closer to the start and very little has changed since my first draft of the year.  Can you have a look and rate - also take a look at any glaring mistakes.  I will check rookies before game 1 but is there anyone there that is a definite no, or there is a person missing that is a lock.  Cheers all

ah just read Staker isn't available - any other rookie with the dpp for def - or who is a good replacement?

and maybe rowe instead of one of those rucks for the dpp with cox?

[Crouchy182]

There are no other rookies with the def/fwd dpp that will play mate, the forward rookies are very scarce this year. possible starters and i mean possible not guaranteed are T.Lee, T.Membrey, J.Lamb, S.Kerridge,M.Paparone, S.Dwyer, J.Daniher and Sam Rowe but as you said i would put Sam Rowe in your rucks to give flexibility with Cox. Probably Grundy to Rowe as Grundy has reported back problems at the moment. Also Stevie J is suspended for round 1. I like the selection of Lewis but not in the midfield. To me DPP isn't very important this year so to have him purely for that isn't worth it. I would consider downgrading Lewis to Moloney or another suitable midpricer to upgrade Staker to Varcoe/Knights/Petterd/Byrnes depending on your preference

[johnnytheboy1]

Therer is no one else that has apart from staker that  is likely to get a game. Players you could consider for your forward bench are Paparone and Mayes both from  brisbane. Stevie J is also suspended so won't play round 1
Def: Slid No problems
Mids: Jordan Lewis is the interesting pick will be a unique pick in the midfield
Rucks: Maric has had an interupted pre-season you may want to reconsider that pick
Fwds: May need to replace Johnson or find a rookie that will start Round 1

Overall Good Team with strengths on each line  8/10

Having a passible forward starting in the midfield would make my groin itch too

hmm alright, thanks guy - i will rethink this.  I wanted that DPP but the more i read the more it seems people aren't that concerned.  Lewis > Zaha?  Frees up a bit of cash too
