I like this team mate, you've gone light in the rucks, but that seems to be well balanced by your 3 awesome defenders. If you needed to save some cash I predict that Enright and Bartel will score similarly this year, so Enright could be a decent option for you, saving 70k or so.
Walker and Roughie are PODs in that forward line - but is Walker fit and ready to go for rd1?
Mids are solid as well, especially with both GAJ and Pendles in there.

Have a look at mine mate and let me know what you think.

Cheers.

Obviously McVeigh, Mitchell and Bartel are guns, but are they value? This year, with smaller profits likely, I feel buying at peak prices will lead to suboptimal teams by year's end.

I wonder whether getting more value from guys like Hibberd, Thompson, Hanley, Hurn, Taylor, Houli is worth the risk. these guys will probably be top 10 defenders so they'll not be a waste of trades, and the monies saved allows another gun like Goldy, Minson or even NicNait instead of Grundy who will cost you a trade or 2 to upgrade almost certainly.

Round 8 mids missing will be GAJ, Pendles, Jelwood, Beams and if Martin is a ripper - Martin as well. Also means you cannot really get on the likes of Swan, Ziebell, Cotchin if they are tearing teams a new one. Just a matter of balance. I see Watson, Jack, Griffen or even Fyfe, Barlow, Steven etc worth a look instead of Jelwood as starters until round 9.

NRoo worries me. Weak team rebuilding probably means more drifting into crowded areas too far from goal.

Roughy will cop number one defender now.

Tex not ready I hear. Good for later though.

Good luck.

Nice team anyway. Probably a genuine 11 keepers if Murphy pulls his finger out.
