Geez Beddy... i dunno where to start mate.

This side would come home like a steam-train, but start off like a wet week.

Def: good.
Mid: weak as pi$$. You need an elite premo at least @ M3 preferably M4/5.
Rucks: Goldy has been 2nd to Currie the last 2 weeks (not sure it will stick for season proper- but buyer beware), Leuy is still struggling to get over the archilles flare-up... might miss a few.
Forw: Too strong given the other lines. Don't get me wrong, this year a strong fwd line is good given the lack of rooks here... but too strong and taking away from the rest of the team ATM.

Suggest (to begin with) Goldy out, Leuy out. At least 1 premo ruck, with at least Currie on the bench- if you had a DPP in Forwards for the Ruck it would suit to have a DDP rook on the bench in Rucks too.
Robbo or Martin to Varcoe/Karnezis/Byrnes/rookie... you need to find some cash to upgrade your mids...
And/Or Hanley or Grimes to Mid pricer/rookie for some cash.

Just my thoughts... good-luck.

I agree with above. U need to downgrade Robbo to Varcoe, Grimes/Hanley to rookie or even Yarran.

Upgrade Swallow,Hartlett and Horlin Smith. Have a look at Moloney. I guess ur title of "mainly guns n rookies" was sarcastic? :D

Thanks for the feedback much appriciated

UPDATE: Changes to team in bold.

I have changed it around again and managed to get Sidebottom in. Im unsure on Gilham and Warnock, couldnt find anything saying they wont play round 1. hopefully mummy can get back to the form he had a couple years back.

Def: Get rid of Gilham, get a rookie in for him probably. Move Hartlett to here for Hanley.
Mid: To weak, get rid of Couch for Viney/Mitchell and upgrade Hartlett to someone like Shuey.
Ruc: Warnock probably won't play unless there is an injury, get rid of him.
Fwd: To strong, get rid of Rioli and use the money to upgrade rucks/mid.

Still a lot of improvement needed

Alrighty updated it again, I am trying to pick some more unique players to seperate myself from others. However keep giving the feedback guys Im loving it.

CASH LEFT: $124,800

OUT - Yarran,Vlastuin,Swallow,Sidebottom,Horlin-Smith,Mumford,JJK

IN - Brown,Stevenson,Swan or Pendles,Moloney,Wines, and another premium Mid and ruck. Move Bartel Forward.

Goddard,Gibbs,Hanley,Ablett,Franklin,Martin,Zorko,Bartel,Varcoe,Byrnes,Fyfe all good picks. Not sure on Kreuzer but he looks good this pre season. Mumford could be great later but underdone right now.
