Yeah not sold on this configuration yet, its a wait and see on preseason form & playing position on a few players. Rookies that will actually start obviously still unknown until round 1 teams are listed with only rumours of best options. Will probably make some stronger mid & less defence premises when convinced of a few team orders! Rucks are set very thin but looking for growth rather than set and forget, but uncertainty about each players actual potential scoring growth.
I would ideally start with 1 more premo Midfielder, 1 less premo Defender, 1 premo ruck instead of the Meek/Cameron combination.. but let's see where we stand when we know more about teams and rookies that actually start the season, I have tried to avoid mid price madness this year or injury prone priced reduced or players that get rested...

How do you feel about trusting Allen on field? Getting lots of positive press but has the makings of a pretty damaging pick at 200k if he doesn't perform. West Coast just as likely to be garbage as last year from where I'm sitting which I wouldn't think is too conducive to a young full forwards scoring.
Thought about going 1 thinner in defense? Looks like the rookie honeypot again this year. Scary to go in on any line with so many upgrades to make though.

I really like Allen, could easily kick 5 goals in a game and spike heavily off it. JS is flawless, durability a worry though. I actually think Eagles will be very competitive this year.
McLean is another pretty strong looking forward rookie. Humphrey definitely a solid chance. Brent Daniel should be strong if he's good to go round one, especially if getting midfield minutes.
Fantasia is an interesting one if he squeezes in somewhere. Sheezel could be good, will wait and see.
King is a wait for mine, no reason he can't be similar to Allen. He's actually got help now and the team should be better, both help, but he does literally nothing but mark/kick/goals so it's a bit harder for him.
Pedlar, Fogarty, Bruce, Corbett and Berry all worth watching if they get gigs.
The cheapies are really lacking though right now, hopefully a couple come along.
But yeah, definitely agree that it looks a problematic group, most of the above are premium priced with no real indication they'll score at premium levels to cheaper options at other spots.

How many goals are West Coast going to kick in a run of Freo,Melbourne,Geelong,Port,Carlton and Richmond in a row? Don't think they'll be as bad as last year but thats a bloody tough run, Think Allen's just as likely to be dropping 30's as he is to be generating good cash myself, that's assuming he can actually stay fit.

All it takes is a contested mark, kick and goal and that's nearly your 30 points, He's in my side and it may be a combination of having him onfield and on the bench on occasions depending on opponents. If your thin on your bench, we'll he'll be onfield and if he scores a 50 I'd be happy with that. Depends on people's expectations, are they waiting for the 150k profit or taking a lesser amount when another opportunity arises with a new rookie? Nothing worse than holding a slow burn.
