Sound team now man!

- Love the inclusion of D Swallow down back. Is set for big things this year IMO.
- Not sold on Scott Thompson for some reason however. I just feel like he has very little upside. I dunno though, his track record is pretty sound. Maybe I'm just frightened by the 'key defender' tag.
- Excellent mids. Unique but effective I'm sure. Daisy is way too cheap to miss so that's a quality inclusion. I personally wouldn't have dropped J Mart however but sacrifices had to be made for...
- Todd Goldstein! Excellent inclusion. Makes your team so much stronger than the last time I saw it. Goldy is a super safe selection and allows you to pair it up with the more risky selection in Luey, who is a worthwhile risk considering his upside.
- Solid forward line too. Danger + Martin are set and forget selections. Paddy D a must have. Clark and Bock have a ton of upside too, and considering a bit of a lack in forward rookies, are pretty smart selections.

I prefer this team Davo. Excellent work.

Just dropped Sloaney and Dusty for Ablett and Gunston. That's right, I gave in. I brought in the little master for the first time (I think) in this entire thread of my updated teams. My forwards are a bit weaker, but I now have Ablett who will be the 2nd highest scorer this year ;)

Such a waste IMO, but whatever suits!

[GoLions]

What do you mean?

[Jackross10]

 Think they are great trades  :)

[My Chumps]

What do you mean?

I'd just much rather have Sloane and Dusty myself. I might end up caving but right now I'm steering well clear of Ablett.

I'd just much rather have Sloane and Dusty myself. I might end up caving but right now I'm steering well clear of Ablett.

Well, Ablett (125+) + Gunston (95-100) vs Sloane (110) + Dusty (105)

That's how I see it anyway

As long as you see Gunston as a keeper those trades are fine, would rather have two keepers though over a super-keeper and a stepping stone

[GoLions]

Yeah I see Gunston as a keeper

[Ringo]

Yea not easy to keep Gazz and Pendles without weakening other lines.

I would try and keep Dusty if possible.  If gut allows maybe one of Goldy or Berger to Sandy and then reinstse Dusty for Pav or Gunston. (Not sure on sums for Pav but I have a feeling Pav may play closer to goals with the transfer of Gumby so may not score as much)

Just need to finalise rookies as well and also if Bock is playing round 1.

Nice team and good luck.slow

I see a debate on selection!

Well Rory Sloane will rise this year same with dusty! Ablett isn't worth his price tag IMO, Gunston will rise aswell.

So
Sloane 113 and Martin 108
V
Ablett 123 and Gunston 93

You could trade in someone much better than Gunston who could average 100+ when you upgrade and you'll end up getting gaz 100k cheaper.

Hope this helps!

Gunston will average 90 this year IMO.

Def: No Problems as it has 4 strong premiums and just the 1 rookie
Mids: Pretty impressive midfield with the only question mark is Sheed can he break into the Eagles 22.
Rucks 2 strong Probably only need the one maybe downgrade Goldstein to Sandi.
Fwds: Upgraade Pavlich to Martin
With these changes you will really have a strong and a team that will be hard to beat at the moment i give your team a 7.5/10
