Do you know any sources??? Not that I don't believe but I just haven't heard it myself.

Also by "set and leave" do you just mean two reliable premium rucks that won't require thinking about during the start of the season?

Toying with the idea of Kruezer in for jacobs

Solid team mate id leave Jacobs in I like your ruck setup very strong.
Pretty sure Ball wont play Round 1 like pistolla said.
8/10

Nice team Will, however, I feel that there are too many risks (players that may prove unreliable) in your team.

But, no risk no gain.

Are there that many? Lots of rookies and a few mid pricers.... (still not sure about russell might upgrade him)

For example, Goddard and Gibbs are your only 100% reliable backs.

Ablett, Cotchin and Murphy are your only truly premium mids .

Cox...rock solid and Jacobs decent. However, both come at premium prices.

Franklin and Rockliff are your only 100% reliable forwards. Bartel good but getting on in age.

So, all up only 7-8 truly solid players. Your other players may profit you financially, however may prove volatile scoring wise. I would rather have a team biased towards players who may not have the potential to score as much, but will score consistently. It will balance out the risks; you must also remember that some of the riskier players in your team are not cheap.
