Thanks mate I just hate that team because it is so common except for watts

Fair enough, but also there's often a reason for players being common. Berger is a bit of a POD in that side too. I really don't think you want too many PODs in your team as some will boom and some will bust, if more are in the latter you're in trouble.

That's very true, I don't really like the look of murphy either, I don't overly trust him to beat a tag every week. was thinking maybe dal santo at 525k Or id really like ziebel except for that bye issue

Gotta cut back somewhere ;) Personally I've picked the forwards, you have an extra premo in there compared to me, and it would probably work in your favour. Our main POD match ups would be Simpson, Rockliff, NicNat & fwd rook vs Watts, Murphy, Berger & Dustbin - I think I would back you ever so slightly to win that, but it's very contingent on the middle 2 match ups I would think, and Murph in particular. Dustbin would bury my rookie but I reckon I would have the edge in the other 3. Would be interesting.

Murphy has a pretty soft draw to start.

Cassisi, no one, Hocking, J MacKenzie, Lower, No one, then Macaffer

He'll go pretty well I think for his price against this lot.

Thanks to Rick O'Shea for the following.

Thats a pretty good point. Thanks doc, can always trade him up after that if I still have doubts

Def: McVeigh, Mitchell, Hurn, Watts, Suckling, McDonald (Fuller, Cutler)
Mid: Ablett, Pendlebury, Liberatore, Beams, Thomas, Martin, Michie, Ellis (Taylor, Crouch)
Ruck: Leuenberger, Sandilands (Thurlow, King)
For: Dangerfield, Martin, Franklin, Pavlich, Rohan, JKH (Garlett, Impey)

Remaining $4,900

Would love some thoughts on this team from experienced coaches. I have tried changed murphy out as I don't really trust him and opted for libba who is hard to tag in the role he plays in and is a POD. Other than that I have also traded in michie and ellis and I now like the look of my midfield. Hurn I feel has a soft draw and will return to being a premium and watts as a mid I think could flourish. My forwards have suffered a bit but with 4 potential keepers and essentially 2 rookies this could be the way to go.

Thoughts?
