Leading Up To The Big Start

[Medicate]

The team:

Backs: Goddard, Gibbs, Hanley, Pittard, Vlastuin, Goodes <Stevenson, Terlich>

Mids: Swan, Ablett, Plendlebury, Deledio, Mundy, Wines, Mitchell, O'Meara <Crouch, Jones>

Rucks: Maric, o'hAilpin <Blicvas, Currie>

Forwards: Cox, Zorko, Rockliff, Robinson, Petterd, Karnezis <Macaffer, Rowe>

Cash: $54,100

Team rundown:

Backs: Pretty standard with the three premos and rookies structure.

Mids: Swan, Ablett and Pendles popular and obvious choices. I love Deledio as a unique this year and also reckon Mundy will also carry momentum from his end of season last year and go on to produce something very similar to his 2011 before he got injured. Standard rookies to round out and will probably end up swapping Crouch out for Kommer.

Rucks: All about flexibility here. Obviously have the standard rookies in Blicvas and Currie riding the bench. I have chosen to have Setanta pinch hit in R2 for me. I think he should get a gig and if he does I see no reason why he cant average 65-70 in the GWS side. If he does play but flops massively I've got the DPP to be able to swing Cox in to team up with Maric which is what I plan to do anyway when I make my frist upgrade in the forward line which I'm hoping will be Buddy.

Forwards: Cox just starting here in order to fufill my plan as stated above. Rest of the forward line doesn't need much explanation. Petterd here based on NAB form but can be changed to Varcoe/Knights/J. Kennedy.

Any comments and feedback on my team would be very much appreciated. Only finished around 4000th last year and hoping to improve on that. Cheers fellas.

Team looks good. Only concern for me is the rucks with O'Halpin.

But if you are confident with him leave the team as is as we have 2 trades every week if it doesn't pay off
