Sound up first team. Jordan Lewis is an interesting selection in mids. Averaging around 90 in SC and will probably be OK if Barlow can regain 2010 form but if not you may be giving away points.
Not really a Burgoyne fan but may pay off.
Like most will be watching rookie performances in the NAB cup to finalise.
Need to watch the byes when upgrading teams as you have quite an exposure to Round 13 bye.
Thanks Ringo.
Not sold on Burgoyne myself, will see how he performs pre season.
I have actually been throwing around the idea of David Myers in the backline.
Played some good games last year, will keep an eye on his pre season.
Jordan Lewis is in the mids and can swap foward with Martin or Fyfe when required.
Early days yet though.
Creeker - like the squad, someone like Adam Treloar also a C/F someone like that gives u the ability to swing Lewis to beef up the forwards as you are concentrating on your mid upgrades.
DEF. H Scotland B Deleidio, H Shaw, S Burgoyne, B Lake, T Mohr, B Smedts, S Morris, B Wilkes.

Team. Creekers.
Have $45.700 left over.
Dont like Goddard in the guts but need MPP with backline.
Crameri is my Smokey, think he will rip it this season
Thoughts welcomed, be brutal.
Are you sure Scotland over Swan or Pendles? Otherwise your risks are Lake, Barlow, Brownnie as I am sure you are aware.

Creekers - there are some leaks here mate.
Goddard - put him up back and try to set up mpp with the rooks at this stage. Otherwise it's not that critical yet imo.
Burger - overspent there a little at 29 seems to have lost his premium status imo - Yarran appeals more around same price.
I would downgrade Scotland and send that $ into the mids especially - look to getting Swan instead of Barlow - just a better bet to score 125 per game.
I dont like Crameri returning from shoulder surgery - shoulders are dodgy things so easier to avoid at 450k.
Like the rucks.
Just needs a little touch up.
I agree with Lozza. Yarran has more appeal than burgoyne. Also Think Adcock or Grimes could be a better choice.
Scotland is getting on in years too. I would put goddard into the backline and bring in another prem midfielder.
Other than that you have a well balanced team.
Great advice guys. Have made some changes and it does look a better balanced team.
Luke Brown the rookie mid / def solves the Goddard problem.
Burgoyne and Crameri gone.
Def B Goddard, B Deleidio, H Shaw, J Adcock, B Lake, T Mohr, S Morris. ( Res.) B Smedts, B Wilkes

Still a few risks there , still will probably change alot, Still have $ 17.400 to play with.
yeh heaps better, apart from the risks in adcock/lake and n.roo/brown, looks pretty good just wait for nab i guess and track those guys fitness too, otherwise pretty good.
