The team we've put together to begin this year was based on the votes of many donors, with the most popular players being selected in each position, and then some final changes to fit it in within the salary cap. As with everyone else on here, we changed our team a few times between Essendon beating Adelaide, and Geelong beating their bunnies! The final team for round 1 looked like this:



Backs:
B Goddard, B Gibbs, D Heppell, J Watts, J Pittard, L Stevenson, N Vlastuin, D Terlich
Mids:
G Ablett, S Pendlebury, P Dangerfield, T Cotchin, B Goodes, J Viney, J O'Meara, K Mitchell, O Wines, B Crouch
Rucks:
D Cox, J Roughead, S Rowe, D Currie
Fwds:
L Franklin, D Zorko, T Rockliff, T Varcoe, P Karnezis, J Patton, B Macaffer, J Neade



I won't go deep into the selection process, or our actual performance for this round, other than to say that we scored a total of 2,115 points, which was somewhat below par, and leaves us ranked 57,270 overall.
