AliG,

I feel Roe and Symes outperformed themselves last year, and as a result, are overpriced.
Don't like the look of Waite because of his misclassification. He is disadvantaged. Dempsey also appears misclassified but that shouldn't be too much of a problem. My main concern, is that i don't think he has a spot in the team. He would need to fully establish himself quickly like Raines and Gram (last year).
There seems to be quite a lot of money leftover in the reserves. Do you really want to have Sansbury lying around on the bench? I can understand wanting extra ruck backup maybe, but generally, the money should be on the park.
Jonathon Brown has a major risk factor. I certainly won't be touching him. He will get the big points - no worries. But he is yet to prove himself at putting the 22 games together. This game is a marathon, not a sprint - buyer beware!
Overall, i think you could use more proven players. Cox, Hall, Pavlich, Ablett are probably you're most reliable players because their recent 'games output' has been outstanding (hardly missing any games). Try getting more of them, because they are more likely to deliver.
And i must say the centres look super-light (even to me). I think this approach is quite attractive because it has the potential to maximise VFM (value for money), but you could try to strengthen it up a little. Even I wouldn't be that daring

Thanks for the advice Tippaz. I like Roe as I feel he will be playing a similar role to last year so hopefully getting similar stats. I will look into Symes. The reason I have gone with guys like Sansbury on the bench is to gaurantee a backup should injury strike as I lost alot of trades early last year and this cost me. As for Brown I kind of built my team around him and made him captain. I understand what you say but im not sure I have the strength to let him go. I have thought from day 1 my midfield was light on but am unsure of who to deal off. I want Gibbs and Selwood for their imminent price rises and Crowley started to show signs late last year of becoming a gun. Dempsey can go I think I have around 180K left will fill you in on changes!

I have traded Symes and Sansbury for Reynolds and Raines.
Dempsey out for Shane Tuck and Waite has gone for Thomas.

Based on your advise I have revamped my team and kept only Roe of which you disliked. My team now looks much more balanced:

B: Roe, McPhee, Hunter, Raines, Waters, Brennan, Kosi [Reynolds, Hansen]

C: Kerr, Tuck, Sherman, Griffen, Lappin, Crowley [Selwood, Gibbs]

R: Cox, Simmonds [Hudson, Leunberger]

F: Hall, Ablett, Davey, N.Brown(Ric), Pettifer, Monfries, Thomas [Davey, Kennedy]

My main concern now is I have 5 Lions and 5 Tigers so my scoring is at risk of fluctuating with these teams performances!
