Hey guys this thread will be dedicated to my side for next season, cant wait to see this first draft compared to my final team haha.
Anyway here is the first go for next year. Let me know what you think :)

Scott D. Thompson, Pearce Hanley, Bryce Gibbs, Dyson Heppell, Matt Suckling, Matt Scharenberg
Luke Thompson, Zac Jones

Scott Pendlebury, Joel Selwood, Trent Cotchin, Marc Murphy, Dayne Beams, Dom Tyson, Matt Crouch, Travis Varcoe
Jack Martin, Xavier Ellis

Shane Mumford, Aaron Sandilands
Liam McBean, Andrew Phillips

Tom Rockliff, Nic Naitanui, Lance Franklin, Steven Motlop, Dale Thomas, Viv Michie
Jesse Hogan, Shane Kersten

[shorty3264]

Nice team mate, very interesting pic in Steven Motlop, he has huge potential though. Might just want to be wary on two injury prone ruckmen. But good side. Also, just curious myself, Varcoe won't be that price that he is in the fanplanner...?

[ubeaut]

Will Hanley, Gibbs and Heppel retain their back/mid DPP? Doubt it.
Maybe a bit back heavy? Otherwise structure looks good.
Love the rucks. How will Mumford go at GWS? Is Giles still there? Awesome ruckman.
I concur on Motlop. He will break out just hope it's this season coming!

[GoLions]

Love Scotty T in defence
Midfield looks good
Rucks look good
Forwards good

Can't really find much wrong to be honest. Defence would probably need tinkering once positions are finalised, maybe switch Mummy to Goldy or someone if you end up changing one of your defenders to a rookie? 9/10, 9.5 if you can get a super premo ruck in there  :)

cheers for the feedback guys, I'm loving Motlop as a pod in my forwards especially the way he finished last year. Happy with a heavy backline since there is never really many decent scoring back rookies. Have decided to taken Gibbs out due to him probably losing his dpp. plus am thinkinig of taking a gamble in the rucks since Longer will be number 1 ruck at Stkilda next year and starting to mature. Heres my new team as of the 23/11/13 what does everyone think?

[shaker]

Liked it with Murphy in with the byes , not a fan of this ruck setup a lot of people are using it but I think that will change , Kersten should get a go with Jpod gone like , but it is November and that won't be your side start of season  ::)

[cortez]

[Bennny]

Rockliff not a forward mate

[roti]

Rockliff too Gunston and then Lennon to a mid pricer or Hmac to a keeper and you have a really solid side there

[cortez]

Ah yes he is too, my bad. Shuffled it round a bit and came up with this:

Thoughts?

[shaker]

Still don't like the rucks think you need 1 gun in there , with H mac not to sure with him with Simpson , Vardy and Blicavs don't really know what role he will play but I suppose time will tell cheers.

[aussied]

hoping to see the next best ruckman combo in the game, it has worked well for nicnat and cox for the past few years, Vardy is more of a power forward and blicavs is still devoloping and most likely will be trade bait by the end of this year.

[nick wilkesmann]

Backs looking good.

Mids are strong, I still think ablett is a lock but each to his own on that one.

Even though Sandi is in a lot of teams he is a BIG risk and very unlikely to be in your final team, I think if you're going to have him in your team you should have an absolute lock alongside such as a minion/goldstein who will definitely be there at the need of the year.
Like thurlow in the ruck with word of bellchambers injury.

Like the pick of Luke Parker, reckon he will be top 10 forwards.
