Your forwards are to light IMO. Davey may play most games however Jetta is likely to play around 8 and Hawkins probably only 2-3 given his KPP position and young age. Also you have no superstars in their and i dont think Chapman will be as effective this year! Maybe need a Hall, Pavlich, Riewoldt in there.

I understand your an Eagles fan but isnt 1/3rd of your team relying a bit to much? Perhaps cut ti from 7 back to 4/5.

Thanks for the advice ALI,

I'll trust your judgement with Jetta (you're an Essendon fan, right?), I just heard he had a good pre-season and seeing that Sheedy loves giving young kids a go, he might be a good chance of cracking 22 games. I'm not sure what to expect of Hawkins, his body is definitely AFL ready for a KPP and Geelong were struggling with key position forwards last year, so will they give him a good crack or go to someone else for now...?

I'll try to get rid of a few Eagles, but it's hard because I can't find any better value players in the same price range for most of them (esp. B.Jones, Waters, Priddis)

Better or worse?

I still don't see why everyone is going Franklin.. look at his last years average and he was playing well there.. oh well, everyones loss, my gain.

I'm just getting him because he's cheap, good value (for his price) - I couldn't find anyone else better value in that price range - and if his price rises (which I reckon will happen) I can upgrade...

DT maybe, SC not really, he's ineffective sometimes, it really hurts his stats, as does being inconsistent, hence why he is cheap, not because he's young.

Who would you recommend instead at his price, Brades?

[Brades]

Porplyzia, Well I'm probably a little bias on that since he is from West Adeliade (And played footy with my bro) but I have a feeling he'll play more midfield, he is capable.

hi rava,

great backs, great centres, great rucks.
but i have to agree with ALIG. you haven't got the right idea in the forwards.
i also think your reserve rucks (Darcy/McIntosh) are excessive. Cox/Sandilands is a superb combo - it doesn't need that much backup. i'd sell 1 of Darcy/McIntosh for a min. wager. then you can bolster the forwards.
