Very strong forward line, even with a couple injury prone guys in Higgins and Clark (who are great unique buys btw). Only fault I can see is Jesse Hogan not getting enough game time for you :P
Very strong backline too- especially considering the depth offered by having Howard and JKolo on the bench.
Good choices for your first two rucks, assuming Longer is the #1 ruck at the Saints. The price of Sandi and HamMac without the injury worries.

Dislikes
Another person going with LeCras over Chappy- really?
Only four premo mids could hurt. Although the cheap and rookie-priced mids have a lot of guns, mid premos can generate a lot of points.
No Jack Martin?!?!?!? Kid is a future Brownlow medallist and fantasy superstar!
Ellard and Ellis taking up a lot of $$$ on your bench for two guys not even confirmed to be best 22. JMart is much cheaper and incredibly better.

Ratings
D: 9.4/10
M: 7/10
R: 8/10
F: 9.4/10
Overall: 8.35/10 strong team in terms of depth, but the lacking midfield could hurt, and you're missing the second best DT pick of 2014 (behind Hogan)!

Ok made some changes after your advice , LeCras & Chappy ...... What u think of that ? Cheers Jukes.

Stants and Chappy :D
Strong forward line if Patton doesn't get injured again.
Few solid mid-pricers in the midfield could generate a lot of cash if they all work out...or if they don't, screw your midfield early.

Dislikes
Not a fan of Nathan Bock. Injury-prone as they come, and not even guaranteed best 22 if fit. Wouldn't want to rest your hopes on JKolo and Clay every second week.
Like the previous one, not a fan of strong forward lines that leave Hogan on the bench!
You won't need 200k left over! The current prices are going to be almost exactly what they're going to be. Would use that $$$ to upgrade Longer to McEvoy or Bock to a good, uninjured player :P

Ratings
D: 8.5/10

Overall: 8.4/10 pretty good team, better w/ that 200k invested.

Strong midfield- good structure, good choice in rooks and very good premos.
Chappy :D
Backline is also pretty strong, would probably lean towards having Bock on your bench over those two for now.

Dislikes
Wouldn't bank on one of Fasolo, Kersten and Lloyd to play every week, maybe two of them if Lamb too has selection troubles or there's an injury to a premo.
Similar story for the backline w/ Fuller, Browne and Osborne, although to a lesser extent. Fuller is a gun, but if one of your starting six go down you'll very likely be staring down a donut if you don't trade out of it.

Balanced along all lines- nice structure
Hoping for your sake and my XVIII's sake Towers gets games, very good player with a bright future, and a nice pick. Good chance for my side if named round 1.
Chappy :D

Dislikes
I wouldn't bank on one of the three injury prone/injury hit players towards the end of your forward line in Fasolo, Rohan and Menzel getting up every week early, maybe even more if a premo gets injured.
Sandi...
The end of your midfield leaves a lot to be desired. Again, wouldn't rely on one (or more if injuries) of Ellis, Ross and Towers getting up every week early, and Polec + Crouch aren't locked in the best 21 for their side yet (although they should be).

Nice structure, probably won't be copping too many donuts.
Minson and Longer ruck combo is pretty unique, I like it if Longer gets games
Unique and good selection of midfield premiums.

Dislikes
Not really a fan nor are picking any of your four premo backs. Age, won't improve in price, spuds, etc.
No real major faults, but not an exemplary team if you get my drift.

Which Def are you favoring? Walker did me right last season. I'm on the fence about Geary.

If you don't mind, what in your mine makes an exemplary team?

Very much appreciate the insight, Jukes.

[Jukes]

I don't reckon McVeigh, Mitchell or Walker are bad picks, just that they won't really increase in average, while others like Simpson, Birchall and Henderson probably will. Not a fan of Geary, not at 380k.

My team when I finally bother updating it :3 sitting on the couch watching Seinfeld or Red Dwarf like I did all day today is a much better option imo than doing my team :P

Probably would have to have Seedsman, Docherty, Stanton, Watson, Beams, Rocky, Buddy, Chappy, Daisy, solid depth across all four lines, and doesn't have Swan, Ablett or Sandilands.

Ha! Yeah, I've been filling in time at work noodling with my team.

Had Swan last year and did me right. Probably will try to work in. Will probably pick up Ablett after value drops a bit, like last year. Roll of the dice.

Lots of noodling left. Will be catching up on Workaholics and Sons of Anarchy episodes to keep me from going insane.

Thanks again Jukes.
