Thought id throw up my team as it sits the day of the picker going down. 40.5k in the kitty
Montagna, Laird, Hodge, Scharenberg, Berry, Newman, Ryan, Long
Danger, Pendles, JPK, Fyfe, Beams, Swallow, SPP, Myers, Freeman, Graham, Bolton
Goldy, Sandi, Strnadica
Dahl, Lids, Franklin, Macrae, Roughy, Knight, Pickett, Eddy.
Pretty standard defence I think, Hodge is worth the risk IMO.
Ive really warmed to Swallow over the last couple weeks as there isnt really any downside that i can see if he flops early. Having him at M6 allows Roughy at F5 as i really dont have a lot of confidence in the fwd rookies this year.
No Witts and no escape plan if Sandi goes down early but i think its a calculated enough risk to go for.
Probably 4 and possibly 5 of the top 10 fwds to start the season with is something that id normally not go for, but again unless some decent rookies present i think the deep forward line may end up better than the deep midfield.
Any feedback greatly appreciated lads.
