The main risk is starting 4 rookies. If you're happy with that risk, then by all means go ahead with that team. The premium players you've selected are hard to fault, but if you feel that starting 4 rookies is a little too risky, then drop one of the premiums down and upgrade a rookie.
Remove the premium with the biggest injury risk.
Remove the premium with the least potential to increase their average.
Remove the premium where you find the best value in a cheaper player.
Those are the kind of questions I would be asking myself with regards to with player to remove.

i.e. remove Ablett...
You've gone a premium/rookie strategy so if that's what you want to do I'd say stick with it and just do your research to make sure you pick the right rookies. For mine I think there has been a huge over-reaction to yarran rolling his ankle in the first NAB cup game. The kid can play, and can play with men - averaging 5 shots a game in the WAFL last year and he kicked 6 or 7 in his first game - this all with less of a fitness base and without stevens/houlihan/gibbs kicking to him (or more accurately probably, Fev to feed off). He MIGHT not play the first game, and at least you'll know before the lockout, but neither did Palmer, and if he doesn't have anothersetback prior to the start of the season he'll get an early game for sure.
I agree. When he went off, he had a bit of a wry grin on his face to be honest. Bit of a grimace, half a smirk IMO, and probably was just thinking how he was a bit unlucky. Being a first year player and his first game, and with the substitutes, he got subbed off. Not alot to worry about. If hodge or judd or even anyone did that in home and away season, theyd be back on the ground soon after IMO.

I'm thinking of maybe rejigging my backline...with smith being no certainty of playing in the first few games.

Your team is amazing besides your backline.

Your team is amazing besides your backline.
It's not overly different from the majority of teams on here.. Besides swapping a premium back for an extra premium forward.
I think you have too much injury risk in your backline with Drummond & Smith especially (Smith even more so now). Are you sure that Raines & Hill will get every game, and that if they don't, your reserves will cover them? I also think having both Judd & Kerr in the team is risky. I don't think either is going to appreciate by a great margin (less than cheaper priced players), neither is particularly suited to DT. Either one is fine, but I think there are cheaper midfielders who will give you value. The extra money can be used to upgrade your backline.

Downgrade one of the Pendlebury/Judd to a Haselby or something to atleast upgrade one of the Raines/Grimes/Hill combo.
Oh come one Porps, we all want to see what you have in store.
I bet you change your team as often as you change your avatar.

Nah mate, not at all. I actually can't remember the last time i changed my avatar, my team on the other hand......
Fair call on most of that, I'm just playing around with my side right now. However, Raines should play most games and if he does he will score 75+
What do you guys think of this revision?

R: Cox, Ottens (Trengrove, Currie)

I think Tuck is a relatively unique option for a lock in midfielder. He was the top DT and SC scorer in the second half of last year if I recall correctly and is 100% fit and raring to go. Cousins just takes that little bit of pressure off him too. Nobody seems to have him and he was 20k cheaper than Kornes.
i'd really really love some peoples opinions on my team. I've decided to go for some big guns because I want to save trades and I want them in my team at the end of the year. Same goes for Riewoldt, he may be underdone but i dont want to waste a trade on picking him up during the year. And Dalziell, I simply rate really highly so he'll be staying too. Anyway with this in mind. what are ur thoughts?
