ruck: nicnat,, leuy

not sure bout my rookies so far and ruck structure
I like your MIDS and FWDS DSDS, if you are worried about your RUCKS may i suggest downgrading Kelly to a midpricer in your back line and upgrading Berger.
ive got 92K in the bank so can upgrade luey to zac smith, have to see how smith goes next nap cup match tho
Personally, i would go higher to a more proven ruck such as Goldy
DSDS – I want to steel this team – great effort mate – I don't disagree with any of your selections in principle without them all been my preference.
Areas I would worry about – defensive rookies – will there be 4 that will play – they normally show up but not banking that will be the case this year.
Leuy is sucking a lot of people in – Not sold – his average was dismal before he got injuried last year when he was sharing Ruck duties with West – same likely now he'll share with martin
Otherwise best of luck with this awesome team
That’s a very strong team,.. you sure you have enough dough to buy your bench players?

Hi everyone, this is the first post of my team. I have been waiting until I am confident that the majority will be there for good, obviously rookies still pending.
Shaw, Newnes, Savage, C. Pearce, Rohan, Goddard (Hamling, Wigg)
Ablett, Rockliff, Pendlebury, Fyfe, Selwood, Newton, Anderson, Freeman (Boekhurst, Laverde, Steele)
Mumford, NicNat (Read)
Goddard, Martin, Swan, Salem, Clark, Hogan (Lambert, Krackour)
Please advise, good and bad feedback.
Gary Rohan, interesting. Do you think he will improve?
He is purely in my side if he takes Malceski's Half Back role. Have heard his name as well as others (Jetta) thrown around for it.
Come Rd 1 if he is named on the bench or fwd pocket ill trade out.
I really admire the Rohan move. I've been umming and aahing about it for ages but I decided to go with T. Hunt instead, but if Rohan does make that role at Sydney his own he could be the most improved supercoach player of the year.
PJ8 – this is the very same structure I am running with at the moment so its a big thumbs up from me. We have different players but thats more of a preference thing.
Not yet sold on Pearce or Rohan
Love the Midfield – I don't have Selwood due to Crowley tag if S. Johnson misses the first couple of games.
Massive call on Mumford but love it – nice early draw and first maneuver advantage to you
I don't know why Martin is in as many teams as I see him in. Inconsistent player who dropped to 400k last year. Lids has more upside IMO
Great work PJ8 – looking at a big year mate
Thanks Irish, sounds like i would like the look of your team as well. I see this structure being the best. Taking a punt on Mumford could pay off, fittest he has been.
Appreciate your opinion
Nice team
Liking the team but I was wondering if you think Z. Jones might fall into that free defensive position instead of Rohan? I'm a SC novice more or less so might be a stupid question….
Last I heard is Z. Jones is injured. I have know changed Rohan to Henderson
Hi Community,
Here is my team. Please tell me how to improvement.
Shaw, Enright, Newnes, Ibbotson, Whitecross, Goddard (Edwards, Viojo-Rainbow)
Ablett, Pendlebury, Fyfe, Selwood, Wines, Van Berlo, Heeney, Boekhorst (Vandenberg, Freeman, Lambert)
Natanui, Leuenberger (M. Cox)
Deledio, Goddard, Westhoff, Swan, Salem, Blease (Daniel, Krakouer)
*how to improve it not how to improvement
James nothing wrong with the structure here mate – solid team
I'd have a few different players but thats just a preference thing
Want to have a look at Ibbo before I commit
Whitecross might not get up for round 1 – if he does he's too cheap not to pick
Not convinced on VB – Newton might have a higher ceiling
Luey has me concerned but without been able to see Bellchambers I don't think there is a better option if you go Midprice in the ruck
Westhoff is a great POD selection – could be anything this year – has me tempted but don't have the big balls required to select him (for now)
Good work James, you done well here mate
Hi James, good effort mate. If Daniel remains unsighted might be worth considering dropping and move lambert to the fwd line to give yourself another rookie mid with plenty of options to choose from. Good luck mate, (like Mick, love the Westhoff pick also!!)

If I had one concern over structures here mate it might be an over spend in defense – Malceski, Simpson and Shaw will all be available at 450k at some poit during the year i'd say. Granted all are going to be top 6 defenders so if you go this route you need not worry about this line too much during the year.
personally i'd want a bit more beef in the middle, by downgrading one of the big defenders and getting in another gun keeper in the midfield moving Rich down to M6.
Everything else comes down to player preference – Not sold on Rohan, VB, Luey, Martin and Clark but thats not to say they are not valid picks
Best of luck for the year mate
Thanks for the feedback mate. Love your work! Who would you downgrade down back and who for? Also I've gone ibbo for rohan! Thought my mids were a bit thin! Whose another good premo that you'd go for?

Phil
If I had one concern over structures here mate it might be an understanding of your Midfield players. Are you selecting Swallow, Mitchell and Steven as season long keepers?
If so you might find yourself struggling against teams in the latter part of the year. if you are using 1 or 2 of these as stepping stones have you factored that into your trading plans? What might happen here is you get tempted to trade one of these out for a permo midfielder before the rest of you side is upgraded – this might lead to a Brown or Hogan staying around for longer than they should.
Dangerous structure if you don't have a clear trading plan.
Brown is a bad option down back – be luckly to average 45 and most likely only get up to 180k – not many options here I know but we will all struggle if Brown is the best one!
Bartel sucking a few in – not convinced
Hope this helped mate and best of luck for the year
personally i'd want a bit more beef in the middle, by downgrading one of the big defenders and getting in another gun keeper in the midfield moving Rich down to M6.
Everything else comes down to player preference – Not sold on Rohan, VB, Luey, Martin and Clark but thats not to say they are not valid picks
Best of luck for the year mate
Lumumba, really? Langdon has a better scoring output for same price. Nathan Brown will get games, but will barely move in price. Jack Steven is questionable, needs to return to 2013 form.
I don't mind the Lumumba selection… Not keen to go there myself, but I reckon it could pay off
Thoughts?

MID: Ablett, Pendles, Selwood, Sloane, Greene, Rich, Boekhorst, Freeman, Vandenberg, Steele, Lambert
RUC: Goldy, Nic Nat, Read
MID: Goddard, Swan, Martin, Salem, Hogan, Laverde, Daniel, Krakouer
I have $213,600 remaining. Do I upgrade Henderson to someone like Hampton? Do I upgrade Rich to Wines? or Should I upgrade Greene to Fyfe? I like Greene becuase he is a POD and has a good early draw. Thoughts?
Viojo looks to down the pecking order at Carlton for young rooks. Perhaps switch him to Adam Saad (GC), who looked pretty good and has a strong ready made AFL body. Saad playing in GC next NAB match too, so that's promising.
I worry that you're very thin thru D6-8 if your rooks aren't 100% nailed.
How do I fix that up VC?
Well first up, like I said, switch Viojo to Saad. You're structure is all good then *if* Saad or Goddard are gunna play and score.
If there isn't a good rookie to pick at D6, you might have to re-structure your side a bit mate and spend some extra cash there to be sure you have 6 starting (and scoring!) defenders.
G'day community, thoughts??

Damo, don't count on Whitecross playing early unfortunately
Possible replacements? Not sure where else I can downgrade to fork out the cash
Walters to either Hogan or Mitch Clark..
I'm not completely sold on KPP's, do you think starting with 3 FWD rookies could cut it this year?
Sure mate, if it means you have no obvious holes in the rest of your (backline) it makes sense to start the good rooks no matter where they are on the field
Thanks for the advice mate makes a lot of sense, I have around 420k to use on a whitecross replacement if he doesn't play, who would you recommend starting? I like what C Hampton has to offer as a potential POD, however cheaper options that spring to mind include Seedsman and Langdon. Picking either of the 2 cheaper options mentioned may leave me enough to upgrade dusty or swallow to an ultra premium (E.g Robbie Gray), Worth the punt? In the end I'll probably end up going with my gut, but I always like to see what others opinions are!
I reckon you're on the right track. I currently have Hampton, but Langdon is very much on my watchlist. Seedsman too. FWIW, I have Gray proudly sitting at F1, and it's a nice feeling! What a superstar!

Could be a winner with Hallahan as a mid-price POD Jess!
Love that FWD line.
Just be careful in your backline and be ready to re-structure your team if Whitecross isn't picked early, which is very likely!

I like this team very much
Love the Adcock pick, currently in my team.
Is Adcock worth a go?
Where's your 8th defender?
I don't see how you've got this team under the salary cap maggie??
I'm seeing a lot of teams with no ruck back up in case R1 or R2 goes down. i currently have TBC at R3 as insurance..$300,000 worth of insurance. Are there better (cheaper) options that will get a game? I originally had Ryder in my forward line so i could shift him to ruck if i got an injury, however I was advised that Ryder's scoring ability may be impacted by Lobbe playing as the number 1 ruck at Port. Would love some feedback
Seems to be the latest trend Bacon, a month ago everyone had Ryder or TBC in the fwd line with a DPP swing to back up the rucks.
At the moment i have no back up, my plan is to pick up Ryder in the fwd line at about Rd 6 when he drops (IMO he will drop).
So no back up until then but as they say, no guts no glory!
I plan on doing exactly the same PJ8
Ryder at F6 at the end of the year and I'll be happy. Hopefully the plan works out.
Bacon, first let say that you smell fantastic.
There are a number of great articles on ruck strategy on the site: I'd do a bit of digging and this tricky part of selecting our squad is made a lot clearer.
For what it's worth, the option of not starting with cover is because it's too wasteful to have $300k sitting on the pine in the early stages of the year. Money that can be utilized on the field to generate more points from the start!
IF you will sleep better by having 'insurance' in the rucks, you can hope that Bellchambers is clear to play Rnd 1, then select him as a starting forward. If you also select Cox or Read as your DPP R3, you can then swing them around so that Bellchambers can cover in the ruck if needed
thanks..for the compliment and the advise hahaha. cheers guys..
I currently have Lycett sitting in a F3/4 as back up for Nic Nat and Goldy. He scored quite well in the games where it was NicNat and himself (around 90 I think), is noted a part time forward and has an opportunity to be playing down there with the Darling injury. I will be watching closely in the NAB. Of course Sinclair from the Weagles is cheaper but probably behind Lycett for game time – anyone from the west able to confirm this?
I plan to slowly move him down the FWD rankings to F6 or even hopefully the bench all going well! Most likely I will stuff up my trades and be depressed by round 9.
I only play for league wins and lifting up that cup at the end of the year, so saving 1-3 trades if a ruck goes down could make the difference for me. I guess it would be viewed as a waste by the rankings purists.
Yes, Lycett ahead of Sinclair plus Sinclair has just picked up an injury – broken thumb I think.
I am using Lycett in similar way. Also have Nic Nat – so if he goes down Lycett likely to score bigger as will get more time in ruck.
Sinclair injured
Lycett & Naitanui ruck duties
Mackenzie out for the entire season
McGovern to play down back, covers Mackenzie
Darling out for at least the first month
There is gold amongst all of the above.
I've seen Lycett play. He has high efficiency 76% and low clanger rates 1.2%. Sinclair is the opposite.
But if we select a non playing rooking ruck aren't we effectively throwing away 100k?
TBC at R3 is going to make you money, not much, but it will make some money. And also you can use the fwd line spot on a playing rookie that will make you money.
Or am I totally missing something?? The way i see it is a trade off between using your $ for points, or for making more $
Option 1:
R2 (Ryder) 540k
R3 (non playing rookie) 100k
FWD 6 (TBC) 300
Cost 940k
amount of $ scoring you points (R2 & FWD 6) = 840k
amount of $ gaining interest (FWD6) **Assume ryder/R2 isn't going to go up** = 300k
Option 2:
R2 (Jamar or McEvoy) 490k
R3 (TBC) 300k
FWD 6 (playing rookie) 150k
Cost 940K
amount of $ scoring you points (R2 & FWD 6) = 640k
amount of $ gaining interest **again assume your R2 just maintains his price** (R3 & FWD6) = 450k
+ insurance
if that makes any sense….
The idea of selecting Bellchambers for cover is based around him starting in the forward line. As he is a dual position player, you would be able to swing him into the ruck if needed by also selecting a DPP at R3 (Cox, Read).Does that make sense mate?
Hey Community,
here's the winning team!
D – Shaw, Enright, Newnes, langdon, Sheppard or Geary, whitex (Clurey, dick)
M – GAJ, Fyfe, Priddis, Dangerfield, Wines, Swallow, VB, J. Anderson (Heeney, Leverde, Lang)
R – Nic Nat, Bellend (Cox)
F – Bartel, Swan, Higgins, Knights, Hogan, Lambert (Daniel, Krak)
thanks!
You’d have a much better chance if you swapped Higgins to Tom Mitchell & turned Knights into a rookie then upgraded some of your mids to even bigger guns.
I have changed again Pieman! Right only my rookie selections will change and possibly whitex (not looking good , not picked again) So…..
B – Smith, Enright, Newnes, Higgins, Goodard, Hamling (long Saad)
M – GAJ, Fyfe, Priddis, Selwood, Dangerfield, Wines, Anderson, Heeney (freeman, lambert, Krark)
R – Nic Nat, Bellend (Cox)
F – Bartel, Martin, Swan, Mitchell, Karnezis, hogan (lonie Daniel)
thanks!
Just to totally confuse you, I dont mind Higgins, but you need to play either him or young Goddard in the forward-line to open up that Def/Fwd swing. This will give you more flexibility throughout the season, and will almost certainly save you trades.

interesting POD in suckling, problem with hawks are that they share it around so much their ceilings as so low. Full strength mid pricer team, could explode

$10k in the bank, rearranged because of Nic Nat and injury concerns…
Martin in the ruck is a unique choice. Personally not convinced that any 3 backline rooks can deliver value. Maybe consider converting Mitchell or Martin into a Def
I think I have finally settled on my structure , have about $27K left. Last year the forward rookies put up rubbish scores so I have decided to go cheaper down back hoping to find 3 or 4 decent rookies with some mid price options.

my team is similar to yours but I spent just a little more in my mids then forwards. So the choice is do you have a crouch as M6, hit the ground running and hope the mid/forward rookies lift. Or do you go the 200k mid (newton or NVB etc.) and have a premium in F4. Interesting to see if others are having these thoughts when structuring their sides
Yep I have looked at M6 crouch but would he score more than a mitchell or a lids? I doubt it so I reckon a mid rookie will outscore a fwd rookie.
Here is my team, advice welcome, but post reasons why/why not you dont like someone
http://s10.postimg.org/qvq539u0p/Untitled.png
Nice team, although it probably isn't worth having a $177,000 player in Cockatoo on the bench, save the cash and you can almost upgrade Bellchambers into Naitanui

Hey Jarrod,
Interesting team, plenty of unique selections.
DEF – Looks solid. Commend the Scotty Thompson selection. If got back to his 90 > ave season, then you'll be having a huge collect there. Moore…..not sure…..No idea of his price, perhaps replace him with Clancee Pearce?
MID – M1 to M3 is superb. M4 to M6 looks a little risky for mine. I'd sleep better at night if Greene or Swallow were a super premium. I don't mind 4 x premiums/Swallow/Rich/Rook, Rook.
RUCK – Ze Mullet!!!!! Like it……he finished off 2014 nicely. Lycett, interesting….ballsy pick, but commend it. Nic Nat breaks down again, then you'll be laughing!
FWD – Pretty bloody good. The Hoff doesn't mind exploding early.
DEFENCE – Malceski, Shaw, Newnes, Seedsman, McMillan, Whitecross
MIDFIELDERS – Pendlebury, Sloane, Gibbs, Greene, Swallow, Adams, Van Berlo, Boekhorst

FORWARDS – Bennell, Swan, Edwards, Mitchell, Clarke, Karnezis
BENCH – Dick, Scharenburg, Dumont, Freeman, Lambert, Durdin, Hogan, Steele
There it is! An Ablett-less team. Thought maybe an Ablett less team would make up for it with a stronger midfield.
Killender, ominous name unfortunately the team not as ominous. I can only count 7-8 potential season keepers, you should be aiming for at least 10+. There are a few POD's in there but unfortunately not ones that are SC relevant i.e. Edwards, WhiteX, Wood. Scharenberg is injured wont see him until at least mid year, Durdin unlikely to play. Karnezis preseason specialist real season spud. Structurally your team looks relatively sound, Adams is an interesting pick, done nothing to suggest that he will exceed expectations but there is an air of expectation surrounding him, as I said it will be interesting. WhiteX unlikely to play regularly, didnt make their NAB 3 (strong team), Edwards is what he is cannot see where he will derive improvement from, Wood is not a keeper, nor a stepping stone, nor a cash cow, avoid. Malceski is a massive spend, downgrade here to another premo, pocket the coin or use elsewhere. Like the pick of Greene and Bennell.

Still got $200+K in the bank but could be a bit vulnerable down back as I'm gambling on some blokes coming back from injury or stepping up this year following some team changes or different roles.
like the thinking on Def. With Savage injury, maybe put Newnes back there, downgrade Steinberg a bit and put Griffen or Wines in the Mid?
First I've heard about Savage (been out of action for a few days), but if he's having hamstring trouble I'm not touching him! Really good advice, cheers mate!
going a different way
Kelly, Fisher, Newnes, KK, Macmillan, Jaksch (Hamling, Saad)
Ablett, Selwood, Danger, Greene, Wines, Martin (fwd), Swan (fwd), Wallis (Lang, Freeman, Krakouer)
Lycett, Grundy (McLaren)
Bartel, J Martin, TBC, Salem, Clark, Karnezis (Hogan, Lambert)
my thinking:
no rooks on the ground.
the best value rooks look like they are in the fwd line, therefore I put DPP in the Mid to bring them down when I trade the rooks out
no value rooks in defence, so went higher for D5 and D6 (maybe look to for Fisher/Jaksch to be 2 X 380k players, if any emerge)
went mid-price in rucks because all premos are going to fall, based on Higgo's analysis. Look to trade up when their price falls. (Wanted Nic Nat, but now scared by his injury status)
could have had Swallow or Crouch plus rook instead of J Martin and Wallis (which would fit the rule of no mid-pricers in the guts), but they are the 2 players I am really pinning my hopes on for 2015, so put them both in
welcome some comments
how much left in the till

you miss out on the rookie cash generation without getting more. think about how you can best earn money without burning trades

you only have 5 defenders
Cheers Lewy, I forgot about MacMillan.
I like your Brave enough to go POD Tyson and Greene
Pretty sure birchill is injured
Thanks Glenn, I think they both make a good POD from Wines and Crouch. If Birchall is out for R1 then Brodie Smith will get the nod with my spare $$$.
Birchall is out injured, but like the Def structure.

109.9k left to spend
would love some opinions, thanks
Maybe change Hiigns and Lever for 2X 380k Defs that you think might become premo. Would be consistent with the structure you have adopted for the rest of your team
I would keep Higgins and move Hugh Goddard to the forward line, to open up the Def/Fwd swing with Higgins. May save you trades later on.

jimmy I really like the structure. You have gone the F4 premium with 200k M6. Very valid move. Beware of the early geary, I can tell you as a saints fan the high scores wont last. Enright gives your backline a nice steady hand. Question I have for you in your mids is will your M2 to m5 be in the top 15 mids. Great use of players with great draws (Sidebottom, priddis).
Mitchell is a risk, monitor closely.
i barrack 4 saint too
your top 3 mids all out in Rd 12 bye. Otherwise extremely solid team
yeah i know, sucks
Hey community, I would love some feedback on my team, i think its fairly solid and only 2-3 players could be worked on! Also I have 72,900k left in the kitty

Not enough spend in the midfield I reckon you need one more keeper. You could downgrade Adams and then upgrade Langford. Otherwise solid team.
I reckon wait on Rocky. Thats his ceiling i think. get him at rn1 bye
Although not in my team, I think Langford is being overlooked this year, Won't be a T10 mid but I could see him definitely increasing that average significantly.

I have $300,700 left in the bank, with an eye to making more changes. Probably upgrading one of either Swallow or Griffen (which one?). I will change one of my mid rookies to Jed Anderson, not sure which one yet though. Jarryn Geary on the watchlist, may replace Ibbotson. Thoughts community?
I think Swallow has the lower ceiling. Or you can go from Rich straight to a premo for 3/3/2 structure
Get Goldy into your rucks department. Leuy has burnt people in the past and will do so this year again

Attack of the midpricers. I think your backs will make you a little money, but your going to have to burn so many trades come year end to get full premos as I don't see any of those (except maybe Newnes) being top 15 defenders at year end.
Same with Jong, he might make you a tiny amount of cash, I know hes attempting to step into Griffin's role, but I think hes too raw and there are other players around his price range who will score better.
if your strategy is to provide ruck cover ( a strategy I agree with!), I think you must have strong bench cover. With your forward line, the only way to bring Swan back down is if one of your selections spuds it up, or if you are looking to use Mitchell or Kelly as a stepping stone to a premo mid. If it is Kelly, maybe consider Rich and bring Swan back down.

Any suggestions on Improving my side? I want to start with 12 premiums however, limited rookies in defence, means I have to find value and sacrifice a few premiums so I can avoid the doughnut in defence. Bellchambers is only there for ruck insurance and to get read on the field for the captains loophole. My Forward line feels weak. Any suggestions?
Danger. You are putting too much stock in breakouts

Thoughts please people
posiibly short one premium mdi. perhaps choose one of McRae Hallahan and C Beams, upgrade one to a premo and downgrade the other to a rook
your thoughts will be much appreciated thx . .DEF: Shaw, Hibberd, Johnson, Whitecross, Lever, Goddard, (McKenzie, Maynard,)

Haven't seen too many sides with Will M. this year Duff, definite POD.
Your short a forward, so not really sure what to make of it.
Also I don't like Minson, he fell off bad last year and he got beat out by Hampson convincly in the first NAB cup game. I think there are plenty of other cheaper options who will add value to your side.
Keep your eyes on WhiteX, he may not make Hawks top 22.
four of your Top 5 mids all out in Rd 12 bye. Not sure 3 def rooks can deliver value

Thoughts????
personally I am not sure that any 3 rooks down back can deliver much, but I do see it in a lot of teams. Not sure that Anderson and Boekhurst are walk up starts in the best 22. Vest possibilities also. May leave your midfield weak.
Your team looks pretty good, I'm not sure on the three premo's down back with no other support, expecially if Whitecross doesn't make the team. You may have to drop a ruck or mid to compensate as I think there are definetely some mid price options down back that can slot into D4 for ya. Again tho, otherwise looking pretty solid.
Defense-Newnes, McDonald, Durdin, Macmillan, Geary,Kolodjashnij (Saad and Miles)
Midfield-Ablett, Dayne Beams, Douglas, Rich, Wines, Wallis, Lang, Anderson (Van Berlo, Heeney, Lambert)
Ruck-Lycett, Bellchambers (Nankervis)
Forward- Buddy, Robbie Gray, Bonti, Kelly GWS, Swan, Dustin Martin (Karnezis and Hogan)
Yes my backline needs alot of work, too many Nth Melb players and in a few weeks it will change. Wallis probably will tag but with new coach who knows.
Luke McDonald in backline
No offence mate but I think this is a bit of a shambles, I'm all for POD's but having 20 POD's often means your rekt.
I'd say your midfield is very shallow and needs more work, not enough elites through there. Having Lycett as ruck 1 could be a fantastic idea, but could be a flop also.
Your forward line is loaded which can be a strategy especially with the DPP's this year, but your paying for it across your other three lines.
Any advice on my team guys?

Team has some good traits in my opinion, looks very solid. I'm hesitant on Gray, I just think after his breakout year he may loom as a tag option, I want to see the first few rounds as I can't see him rising in price dramatically if at all through the first few before I may consider him. Also, I doubt very highly that Laverde gets a run at the Bombers. You might find Whitecross strugles to get a gig as well. But time will tell!!!
Love the ruck combo mate. Backup good idea though with their injury history. Backs, mids look solid, only comment would really be on starting Karnezis. That said, if he starts round 1 could be a steal!
Strong team John. Like Henderson and Wines ad POD. Some risk on Karnezis & Mitchell though. Have you considered D.Martin as F2?

Thoughts?
Nice team not worth wasting around $90,000 by having De Goey on the bench, could use that money to upgrade Langdon. Might not be wise going three of the best elite premiums out on the same round either in the byes (Ablett, Pendlebury, Fyfe)

Hi Jock, Crouching, Higgo, Wayno etc.
Starting team as it stands. Guns & Rookies with multiple Swing sets.
Still unsure over Deledio v Dangerfield for M5…

HF:Gray, D.Martin, Swan, Bell-Chambers, M.Clark, Hogan (bench – Lambert, C.Byrne)
risky D3 to D6
Hi jimmy7
Valid comment re D3-6. Ibbotson & Whitecross worth the risk, with Goddard & Maynard on the bench. Considering Lever as D6 to repace Brown. Your thoughts also on Wines v Martin as M5?
LIds b4 Danger – gives u DPP …
Here is the current team.

$22.2k in the kitty.
I know I've got a decent amount of mid pricers and a few roughies (cough Higgins), but overall I think this team is looking pretty good at the moment, a few fallen premiums, still good scores across all lines. Thoughts community?
Top 3 mids all out in Rd 12 bye. Very solid
Thx jimmy7. It’s a game full of risk!
Like your team, with the exception of Bellchambers as R2 (and without cover)
You have both Higgins & H.Goddard in defence, both are Def/Fwd swings. I would move H.Goddard to the forward-line to enable that swing capability, particularly as our defence and forward lines are very rookie reliant at the beginning of this season.
DEF: Burgoyne, Kelly, Newnes, Higgins, Ibbotson, Dick (Goddard, Saad)

$58,400 rem.
pretty good.
Davo,
Good team.
Not sure about Burgoyne, his a great player, but the Hawks are so even, and rarely have top scorers.
You could also open up the Def/Fwd swing by placing H.Goddard in the forward line to swing with Higgins as required.
