Great discussion again last week.  But the time has come to stop sitting on the fence and actually back your PODs in.
Here's the team that I have arrived at and why I've made certain changes over the past week:
<strong style='font-size: 14px;]Defenders:[/b]
OUT: Hanley, Georgiou
IN: Walker, Cutler
I went cold on Hanley after suspecting that it might happen. &#160;D8 could revert to Georgiou or potentially becomes Clurey. &#160;For now, I have Cutler ahead in terms of potential SC output and (slightly) better job security. &#160;Georgiou probably doesn't play after Garland returns. &#160;Clurey (if named for R1) could be in trouble when Trengove returns.
<strong style='font-size: 14px;]Midfielders:[/b]
OUT: Ablett, Crouch
IN: Watson, Lemmens
Ablett still has a band-aid. &#160;He may come back in, but for now I'm running Ablett-free. &#160;M8 is similar to D8, in that it could easily revert to M.Crouch or possibly Robertson depending on final teams. &#160;I think Grigg is ahead of M.Crouch to play R1. &#160;Lemmens on the other hand, I like for R1 and beyond.
<strong style='font-size: 14px;]Rucks:[/b]
OUT: Minson
IN: Lobbe
Need the cash elsewhere. &#160;Not 100% convinced that Lobbe is a keeper yet, but I can't see him losing value on his start price and there is a decent enough chance that he goes up significantly due to having a full pre-season (for the first time) and not having any real internal competition for SC pie at Port Adelaide.
Forwards:
OUT: Parker, Mitchell, Rohan
IN: Martin, Wingard, McDonough
Upgraded to more likely keepers. &#160;Would be lucky if both Parker and Mitchell started in my SC team and rose from mid-price to elite in the same year. &#160;Sure it might happen, but history says I'm not THAT lucky when it comes to picking SC players. &#160;McDonough in a half-back role should score better than Rohan, especially if he keeps up his pre-season form.

With $70k in hand, I'm comfortable that I have enough cash to make adjustments in the second week of R1 without needing to radically alter the team structure.
And with a 9-10-11 bye structure, I'm very happy with the starting lineup from that perspective.
So jump into the comments below, tell me where I have it wrong, why your team will win the overall, etc.
