Waters and Clark are the only two under injury clouds that i can see. Waters hurt his shoulder again and they are unsure wether to go the surgery route or play on with it. Clark did a hamstring the other week but read somewhere should be back in March.
Rest of the team looks ok for this stage of the year. If you really want cheap ruck cover on the bench Hickey might be the better
option as he is number 1 at the minute with the Saints id say. With AF its alot of money to have sitting on the bench though and that extra 100k could be handy and id use it to get D.Beams into your mids if i was you.

Joey is not playing round 1

[Jukes]

I'd recommend, if you're not willing to cut elsewhere to get a premo, going Sandi over HamMac. Both are equally injury prone, but Sandi has much more JS and is 100k less. Longer on the pine is good security.

That 100k could go towards something like the mega-injury-prone Waters to Sam Mitchlel or Hibberd, or Lamb to Caddy.

Yep, keep forgetting about Joey missing round 1.

Rucks: McIntosh, Sandilands (Longer, Currie)
Forwards: N. Reiwoldt, Dangerfield, Martin, Gunston, Pavlich, Kennedy-Harris (Rohan, Kersten)

chappy should be in ur fwd line or not at all. also he's not planning on playing all rounds so expect him to be rested.

Hmac for R1 is risky - would rather see a prem for that spot so look at McEvoy n co or even like Lobbe who looks to be going to have a big year.

[Ewoks]

NRoo - Dont think he will score like last year saints are rebuilding
Hanley - Can be tagged out of games as seen last year so you will get big scores and 60's
Jelwood/Beams/Pendles all have the same bye Pendles -> ABlett?? Jelwood -> Griffen/Watson
HMac - How long till he injures himself this year?
Chappy - Dont think hes a keeper as he will be managed throughout the year so not likely to improve, better options IMO

[R.Griffen]

Langford I think will be sub affected quite often

Boyd is a great POD but he'll never get back to the Boyd of old

HMac is great value but Geelong like the other ruckman around him also

Stacked and Solid forward line
