Similar comments to some of the teams above.
I don't like the Leuenberger selection, or the van Berlo one. I'd downgrade NVB to a cheaper rookie and upgrade Leuenberger to a better ruck option.
Your structure exposes 2 DEF rookies and 3 FWD rookies on the field, which I also don't like much.
Lambert has not been named for R1.

Pretty standard sort of structure, no major issues. Langford will be a POD for you for sure. I don't see Goodes getting an extended run for the Dogs, but he might hang around long enough to make some $$$ for you.

Vandenberg still needs an upgrade at this stage.

He will play midfield if he plays at all.

your view on Goodes JS has won me over after I was intially quite keen Jase

depending on Thursday teams I may end up punting on someone like VanBerlo who should hopelfully have strong JS (compared to Goodes) and a decent chance of avoiding the vest

with a 4-1-6 midfield (at the moment) with Cripps and VanBerlo as high priced rookies being realistic if VB can be scoring at M7/M8 levels (ie70) in the early rounds I will be happy and if he surprises as the 6th highest scorer ahead of Cripps I will be stoked

rainy day??

** Pending a late Rd1 callup and comparing to other rookies who are named in the forwards.

Before the rookie shuffle (if required) my bye split is currently 10/12/8 so definitely a bit light on for Rd13 BYES.

As the team has been mostly based on a cookie cutter I will take a look at NM, GWS, Port Adelaide,WCE, Geelong and Melbourne players tomorrow and might shuffle in a Rd13 bye premo or midpricer (if there are any) as a POD.

Cheers TTH

solid at first glance

what are you hoping kelly will score and are there any other alternatives at D2?

parker broke out last year, not sure how he is priced but what are you expecting from him average wise?

trade well and I am sure you will smash it

Ownership numbers have changed a bit since those that you have quoted above TTH, very fluid at the moment. Most of the popular selections have risen around 4-5%.

i wouldnt pick both minson and ryder, if you want minson bring ryder later on as an upgrade or sideways if his number stack up

5-1-4 in the mids is interesting, can you strengthen DEF or FWD much if you downgrade one of Beams, Parker, Swallow and restructure slightly

if GAJ was 100 per cent then I would back in your 4-7 structure but mm might be right

i dont mind the bartel and lewis picks, hopefully they both fire on Monday arvo and help you jump the field

indicative only to help me spot my PODs Jase

you would certainly hope people are making changes today and after Rd1 teams

Not bad Bear.

I think you could find a better option than McCarthy, he is a KPP in a team that is going to struggle to win games.

Tough question I'm sure everyone is thinking about, simple poll:

TU: Lambert IN
TD: Lambert OUT
