Hi All, currently have the following team. Been tossing up what players to start in the backline and finally think I’m happy with the structure. Let me know your thoughts!
This is my current team. Please rip it to shreds. Any advice is welcome. I’m not sold on Lynch but I can’t afford anyone else like a FOS and I think he should be able to have some big scores. If he scores low then the flex will cover him.
Def: Sheezel, Clark, NWM, Roberts, Perryman, Reid (Paton, Trainor)
Hey guys, going very mid price this year compared to my typical GnR team. Plan is to be super aggressive with trades early on, with the flex taking away the fear of donuts. Thanks 🙂
There’s a lot of cash stuck on the mid bench there which could possibly be used in improving some on field players. Like maybe one of them down to $120k rookie gives you the cash for Freijah over Bowey who seems on for a better year
I think I have finally found something that I’m happy with. Not completely sold on 2 defensive rookies on field but it allows me to have Gawn and Rankine.
Defence
Sheezel Clark short Roberts prior Reid (Leake trainor)
Sheezel has been a lock since day 1 I have no idea where I threw the keys. The next 3 blokes they want the ball in their hands as much as possible. The rest is rookie roulette
Love serong as a player he might cop a tag every now and again but not bothered. LDU scares me cause he could get injured at any point but dogs round 1 could be a nice score. Oliver will be a top 8 mid. Can’t not have Callaghan with a 144 in his system. Rookies all look like they will play round 1
Rucks
Gawn Xerri (Boyd)
Locked away for the year.
Forwards
JHF Rankine macrae daniel SPP Davidson
(Paton stone)
I think I have here F1-4 at the end of the season and then a few guys that should make me some extra dollars.
Gawn has the easiest opponent round 1 whilst I can’t sit back and watch Xerri go 150 either. The only other 2 I’d consider is TDK and nank both good selections but I think TDK loses both his first 2 rounds to nank and meek. I think nank will still score well but I see hit outs to advantage an issue for him
Is it smart to hold off on daicos until after his bye? That 66 will definitely hurt his price too
TU – wait till after his bye to get him
TD – start him
Backs speak for themselves. Backing in Bo Allan to get a lot of the pill and use it better than preseason.
As a Dons man, surprised not as much love for Zerett. He’ll get plenty of it. Dont be scared by preseason. Callaghan is a jet. Brownlow Smokey if he keeps kicking snags.
Gawn soreness seems overkill. Rankine to go next level as mid / forward.
Anyway, feel free to give me the good bad and ugly of it.
Worried Naicos will come out and go bang against Port.
For final 2 mids thinking Naicos and Garcia OR Day and W. Ashcroft
TU: Naicos & Garcia (with forward/mid flexibility)
TD: Day & Washcroft and wait for Naics to drop in price?
One good thing about round 0 is trades don’t count so the likes of Sheldrick and Daicos will be traded out. Daicos out who comes in T/U Neale. T/D Brayshaw plus a few $$
Firstly, obviously all rookies are subject to change depending on teams.
In regards to the rest, im trying to pick a couple of premo’s that have lower own % this year because in previous years I have been too cookie cutter and it hasn’t worked.
I like the new role for J.Daicos and his low own %, plus when he gets DPP i can flick him down back and pickup a premo or mid pricer iv missed.
I was also thinking of turning TDK into Meek for another POD but not 100% sold as i don’t know too much about either of them so iv just followed the herd with TDK for now.
Iv also chosen Garcia as FLEX as i like the flexibility of his DPP in that position, might come in handy compared to a Flynn who is ruck only.
I’ve got a couple permutations of this set up with Holmes/Xerri/Neale+NOD Vs Zork/TDK/Rozee+ Callaghan fighting it out.
No idea where I’ll land come Thursday…
I really like Neale and he’s locked in my side but your second option is one less rookie on field. It’s tough but I’d lean the first one just cause I don’t trust Zorko enough myself
TU- NWM, Lynch, SPP
TD- W. Ashcroft, Sanders, Leake
Option 1 gives me a stronger backline whereas option 2 means I will have to field Paton and Reid with Leake on the bench. However, Option 2 does give me a much stronger forward line (JHF, Rankine, Macrae, Daniel, Sanders) and only 3 on field rookies in my mids .
I like that Sanders should have a good crack in the midfield while Trelor and Bont are out, but if i don’t start with him i have Davidson to come on field at F6 which isn’t a problem.
Peatling was in my team until i brought both Rankine and Dawson in after their impressive games in the AAMI. Too many crows in team? and will Peatling get pushed out of the guts and play 4th banana behind Dawson, Crouch and Rankine?
I have finally put Sheezel into my team, meaning less money in defence.
Perryman is more expensive than Sanders and Peatling and this would mean having to go with cheaper rookies in the midfield (Reid (freo) on field instead of NOD). I liked his role last week, plenty of midfield time, but only managed 90pts. He also has an early bye.
I’ve gone off peatling, too many in that midfield for me, I don’t know how they will fit them all tbh. Sanders I’m not a huge fan of either especially if Treloar is back round 2, at the same time though he could smash out some 90’s with some of the things heard from his teammates.
Definitely agree with Peatling and I agree that Perryman is probably safer than Sanders but I’d say the argument is between those two. Perryman and Reid or Sanders and NOD would make me lean to the second option if that’s what Derek is tossing up
Have gone deeper up fwd in my latest rendition. Also have gone Ascroft due to favorable early draw over the likes of Day with his tag run and bye coming up and Callaghan due to him having the bye in round 2 from which I could always pivot to if he kills it again.)
I’ve thought about Ashcroft, but i can’t see him averaging over 100 as the 3rd midfielder at the Lions (same with Day, not sure he can average over 100 being the 4th midfielder at the hawks). at that price you almost want him to average 105 to be a good pick.
I think will can average 105 as that 3rd Banana he averaged 107 in his last 7 games including finals last year. he’s only going to get better coming of that injury. if he fails he can be a dump after his easy early fixturing. toyed with an extra premo down back but can’t make it work so I think I’ll take the punt on Ashcroft.
Plan is to drop either roberts or short for F.Callaghan after his bye if he still tracks well this week, like him a lot more the W.Day. This avoids byes and I get one week of cash gen. Also going to be watching Gawn play with one eye shut with his juicy early run, hoping he doesnt burn me too much but I cant find the cash.
Any Thoughts?
i like the Stewart pick. I’ve had Sicily all pre-season, but saw him go forward last week. Stewart for a couple of dollars less seems a more reliable pick, plus no early bye now. tossing up my head and heart on Sicily
I had stewart and Sicily, that forward move on Friday scared me to drop Sicily to Roberts, think once Calsher Dear comes back Sicily may be a top player in that line.
Plans:
1) If Callaghan goes big round 1, sideways him in after the bye for worst performing mid.
2) Zorko to Daicos once DPP’s drop. I like Zorkos early draw but dont trust him for a full season.
3) Flynn will be a sideways or down to a rookie if he gets injured early
4) Trade in any top-10 mids as they bottom out in price early on.
Hey guys, pulling my hair out atm trying to put my team together. I reckon i’ve changed it 100 times every day for the last 2 weeks. please leave your thought and suggestions you may have. Thanks.
In a winner takes all cash league where total points is the only concern.
Does the additional bye play into your thinking here?
I already have Roberts at D4, so D5 is either
TU McKercher
TD Perryman
I’m going for a different structure compared to previous years. I think there’s to much value to ignore. Any feedback back would be great.

very different looking team now. Plan would be to upgrade Jackson quite quickly. I’m one down in the MID, but I feel like there’s a lot of money to be made there, and not as much in DEF.
I’ve voted Short cause I have him in my side over Perryman and maybe it’s unnecessary overthinking but is anyone worried that Short has never averaged over 100 and that his role last year hasn’t actually changed?
I have had him in my team virtually all preseason. But his durability is becoming a concern. The argument that the ball will live in the Tigers back half has been a good prompt for us all. But Tigers were wooden spooners last year but we didn’t see great numbers from Short. Rioli leaving is also a prompt for more kickins and more outlet traffic being directed through Short. For me the Short pick was always a stepping stone. If 105 is the minimum for a keeper in defence, then I couldn’t see Short going better than 90-95. Still some value.
I like Freijah more than Short. The 72k in price means he only needs to average around 14 points less than Short to generate the same amount of cash. I think he can go 80+. Of course then the test is to use the 72k wisely to generate the difference in points on field. I am hoping that is Sanders v Garcia.
– Leaning Gawn over Xerri with the favourable early fixtures. Plan would be to bring in Xerri after his bye in round 12 which is already shaping to be the most difficult bye to navigate.
– Short v Perryman; Short avoids the early bye but has never averaged 100 in his career. Is Perryman the real deal though?
– Have Cerra at the moment but could become Will Day. I like that Cerra avoids the early bye and has had a fully fit pre season.
– Liking the idea of Sanders in the flex as he holds DPP.
– Rookies of course subject to change with team selections pending.
Can someone give me an insight into why people are so keen on Will Day? Has plenty of talent but I think there could be a better option at a very similar price..
– Kicked 3 goals and had 6 free kicks for on Friday night which is not sustainable.
– Will now get more attention and has struggled with it in the past.
– Faces gws in round 3 (Bedford tag)
– Has the early bye in round 4
For a similar price I am leaning towards Adam cerra who has proven he can average 105+ in the past. Thoughts appreciated!
Last year:
I’m removing the Blues game (niggle + tagged), Tigers (got injured), Swans and Dogs games (he was very much finding his footing these two games, think it’s unfair to judge him in those two).
Leaves us with the 12 game stretch he had last season. 107 average (including a Bedford tagged 53)
Regarding his second half vs the Swans.
He scored 34 points in the second half. (Had 45% TOG in the third qtr). And still matched the same amount of disposal’s Newcombe had in the 2nd half despite dealing with both a hard tag and cramping. Round it up to 40 due to the TOG, and times it by two and an 80 with a hard tag is a pass. Especially factoring in that’s when the rain kicked in and the Swans upper their pressure.
Finally, Day is Priced at 91:
He does (IMO):
120 v Dons
105 v Blues
80 v Giants
Bye (80 to cover him)
AVG of 96.25
So you’re getting 5.25 points on his priced average and then he goes into a cherry ripe fixture run where I expect him to put up some serious numbers. He also doesn’t have the Swans or Jordon again, likewise with Bedford after the R4 game.
I’m not personally starting him due to structure and other players I’ve been on all PS, but I’ll most likely be grabbing him after the bye before he really rockets up in price.
I had another higher priced rookie in midfield (odriscoll) but thought it was a waste to have a rookie over 140k sitting on bench so downgraded him to Hall (which also opens up the mid/fwd swing), also changed bo Allan to aidan johnson (via patton swing) which freed up more coin. Felt like my original team had too many higher priced rookies.
Which team is the best for a loop hole player. Which team plays the most sunday games? Can’t easily find it.
Yes I know that we have byes, But I dont trust the ruck rookies, So might as well get the extra points and correct to a playing ruck later on if needed.
Why not just go for one of the rookie rucks that you don’t trust cause they’ll probably get dropped and be a loophole for you by the time the byes are done then?
Sheezel always a lock and Zorko looks to continue his form from last year, based off what he’s done in the pre-season games. Roberts looks to be a breakout, as will Perryman in his new midfield role. Paton and Leake look to have good JS, Reid should too as long as he stays fit. Trainor looks like he’ll have a bright future, but will be interested to see his JS chances are like when Balta and Gibcus return.
M1 started as Bont, then Daicos and now its Neale. Serong was always my M2, will be solid again this year. Rozee should thrive without Butters, and hopefully maintains good enough form when he comes back. Day looks to be a breakout, just need to stay fit. Oliver should be back to form this year, dominated the opposition during the pre-season. Choosing my three onfield rookies was difficult. Lalor being confirmed to play this week made it even more harder. Even though the Tiges are in for a long year, he looks to already be one of their best this year. Tsatas and Ashcroft look to be the most consistent out of the other top rookie priced players. I’m confident enough that at least two of the bench mids have decent JS
Xerri and TDK, never changed since I first filled in my side. Boyd looks okay, but if he falls early he’ll prove to be a good loophole
JHF, Macrae, Smith and Macrae I’ve had since the start, and they all look fantastic. F5 I’d mostly been going back and forth between SPP and Garcia. I personally believe both will average around 70-75, so I’ll with the cheaper guy. Davidson looks very promising, as does Kako. Hewett might miss this week, but he should be only out for this week. He’ll be a gun rookie, so no need to leave him out if he’s only gone for a week or two.
Flynn looks good as the main big guy. Like Reid and Day, just needs to not get injured. At least though if anything goes wrong with Flynn early, it’s an easy fix.
Thanks Abs, not much is it? And he’s def capable of doing that.
My concern with not starting him is that we will have to find the funds to get all three of Bont, Butters and N.Daicos in and none will drop much below 600K. Maybe $550 if we’re lucky.
Coupling that with the fact we all have expensive rookies who will often be slow burners makes me think finding the cash to get these Ubers might be harder than ever.
Definitely not much of a drop at all. That GWS score only effecting his price for a single game definitely doesn’t do much damage.
Definitely valid picking Daicos, I wasn’t ever on him, but if I was I wouldn’t have let the game or score sway me (especially now that they’re saying it was only cramp he was battling).
Throwing around 2 options – which is better
TU: H Garcia & FOS (both on field)
TD : Bailey Smith & cheap mid for bench (L Ashcroft moves from bench to field
Both players have been in my team at various stages but the re-jigged fixture, with the Lions not having a bye until Round 16, definitely swings the decision in Zorko’s favour.
Rankine avoids the early bye out of the two and is more likely imo to be a keeper considering he is a forward, however would I be committing with too many forwards early in the season incase others get DPP like Warner/Trac??
Currently have: JHF, Macrae, Smith & Daniel as my other ‘keepers’.
Thoughts on this one would be really appreciated!!
I feel slightly uncomfortable about the lighter backline as the rookies are bad but Prior and Reid should hold worst case scenario (can any bombers fans confirm or deny their JS for me). Im fading Baz as moving on from Daicos allowed me to upgrade to Rankine. Ashcroft and Cerra have good fixtures whilst Sanders has the potential with the depleted midfield. Would love any feedback.
Gawn has the better run up until the mid season byes. I think you want them both at some stage however I will be starting Gawn with the plan to bring in Xerri after his bye.
hey all, probably the 578th time i’ve sent in the team but i’m close to soldifying in before tomorrow night. Please leave some comments if you have time to let me know your thoughts. Thanks.
Hi SCT Team, any chance of getting some polls up before the end of the week? Some suggestions :
Now that your team is close to finalized (barring team selections for rookies) –
– how many 600K+ players do you have in your team?
– how many rookies will you be starting on the field?
– how many mid priced players do you have ($300K – $500K)?
– Have the Round 2 – 4 bye rounds impacted your decision when selecting your starting players (ie – choosing not to start with premiums from GCS, GWS, Coll, Syd, Ess & Hawks)?
– What position is your Plex player?
– How much cash in bank do you anticipate having at the commencement of R1?
I do love a poll, especially as we all look towards finalizing our teams and deciding on how best to maximize scoring potential; more rookies for cash growth or more mid pricers hopefully to take the next step in becoming a must have?
Chopped and changed plenty but always seem to come back to this structure. Having the 2 defensive rookies on field doesn’t sit great but can’t seem to find a way out without compromising somewhere else.
I’m a little surprised theres been basically a universal movement to drop Naicos. Obviously the 66 isnt great but he did cop the Bedford tag so we weren’t expecting 130+. And I do think the cramping stuff is a little overblown, Day and Whitfield also cramped, and in the first half he still had 18 odd touches so he found the ball absolutely fine. Realistically even if he did have another stinker rookies will not have fattened enough to upgrade to him so when are you realistically expecting to bring him in? He doesn’t have Jordon till round 5 so you could be waiting 7 or so weeks before he MAYBE drops in price enough to justify the fade. Just think it was a bloody hot day up in sydney so cramping is normal and with Port and Doggies to come (scored 133 and 156 against resperctively last szn) I think he’s too scary a fade. What am I missing?
Abs pointed out earlier that if he gets 120 against both the Dogs and Port he’ll only come down about 20K.
And we still have to find funds to get Bont and Butters who won’t come down much either.
Agree on this, if he scores well vs Port and Dogs, his price drop won’t be significant enough to justify not starting with him. It eats up a trade (or 2 or 3, really) and it’s unlikely you’ll have enough cash gen from rookies at such an early point.
Please give me advise on this first attempt..

Flex: Sanders
My slight concern was not leaving enough space for potential DPP forwards that may arise such as Warner or Petracca.
However my plan is to trade out the likes of Sanders for Daicos early on and possibly Bailey smith once they make a decent amount $$. This should still leave enough room for other forwards if need be.
i’ve been tossing up between Peatling, Sanders and Perryman all week.
in the end i think i’m going to go with Cerra.
will mean one of the expensive midfield rookies down to Paton. But i’ve gone back nad had a look at his previous year scores and they are pretty good. for an extra $30k over perryman.
Yeah prob Cerra. Looked good in the Praccy match and has always been able to score well. Just whether if he stays fit which is a risk to all of them really. Hard to compare Perryman and Cerra because the Def line is an complete entity all by itself, whereas the Mids/Fwds can be little more interchangeable.
Sanders I don’t really like because I think even Freijah could steal a few points off him if Bevo runs him thru the mids (was spotted training with the mids group this week apparently if that info is correct?). I’m not really making my judgment call on that with Freijah to select him (just need the extra cash really).
Really tough to make a defence this year (other than Sheezel). I have had Houston, Ash and Whitfield at different stages but have left them out due to the bye.
The impact the kick-in strategy at Collingwood will have on Houston’s score is a concerning, similar to how Fremantle’s new game plan will impact Ryan’s scoring is concerning.
I’m also concerned having 4 Essendon rookies who will lose a week in cash generation due to the bye and no round 0, do you think this will matter is the long run? Just curious to see if others are not picking them because of this. This is my side atm, other than my defence I’m fairly happy.

That’s alot of value picks, I like it, just got to be mindful of having a couple top tier premiums for captain and vice each week. Otherwise it’s looking great
Cheers, and I agree with you…with N. Daicos having the Rd3 bye and Bont and Butters injured had to get creative…so have gone Sanders down to H Garcia up forward and Brayshaw ‘up’ to Neale, although obviously will depend on teams tomorrow night…thanks for the advice!
TU : Rozee, SPP & M Hall (will be on the mid bench) with 2 DEF rookies, 3 MID rookies & 2 FWD rookies on the field & $800 only ITB

$11,000 left over.
Very GnR but the obvious two in the forward line being macrae and caleb Daniel.. love the high priced rookies this year which is why this can work they’ll all score decent enough and make their $150k i think. Thoughts?
Do it.
Can swap any of them for any premium on the field.
Plus every week,
Gawn-110
Xerri-110
TDK-110
‘C’ -110
Between the 3 of them expect this out put on average every week being conservative. If one goes 90 another goes 140-160.
Sanders should be JHF/Rankin. Maby cut a mid down to NOD.
Having a weaker fwd line than 90 percent of teams this season means that if the money you have spent elswhere(Petracca, Cripps etc) Dosn’t pay off your way behind. Your basically fielding an extra fwd rookie compare to a mid one in other teams.
Do you actually see any of your mids outscoring JHF (not including Neale)
I have gone with Gawn over TDK. I’m just worried about TDK’s long term scoring. Gawn also provides a genuine captaincy option every week. Petracca and Oliver’s return to form should also help Gawn’s scoring even more.
I have 5 genuine captain options with this team (Sheezel, Neale, Serong, Gawn and Xerri). You could also say Zorko is another one early in the season.
Who would the top three defensive rookies be?? I also feel a bit thin in the midfield. However I do trust the midfield rookies to perform compared to other positions.
Final showing before the “blockbuster” Thursday night game.
$10,000 left.
DEF: Sheezel, Clark, Wanganeen-Milera, Short, Roberts, Prior (Leake, Reid)
Five deep here, with one of Roberts or Short possibly being a keeper. I just really don’t trust the rookies in defence, and am more than willing to spend a little extra here. Sheezel shouldn’t have to be explained, he’s a genuine gun, and no matter where he plays he’s worth top dollar. I can’t say I’m 100% sold on Clark, purely due to uncertainty on how Freo will operate. St Kilda want the ball in NWM’s hands, and he’s going to be showing everybody why he’s getting million dollar offers.
MID: Anderson, Petracca, Oliver, O’Sullivan, O’Driscoll, Tsatas, L. Ashcroft, Knevitt (Kako, Hewett, Camporeale)
Look, it’s weak. I’m not going to lie to any of you and pretend I can look at my midfield and have confidence in it, but sacrifices had to be made. Anderson is finally going to learn that footy is footy, no matter if he’s playing at home or away, and thus his scores will reflect that (hopefully). Petracca is just a beautiful, beautiful man, and my blind delusion as a Melbourne supporter has me believing both he and Oliver are all set to return to the top again. I believe all the rookies present are both good enough and secure enough that they should be making money, at least more so than I am with the rookies in other lines.
RUC: Gawn, Xerri (Boyd)
I will admit, it is a little bit ugly spending so much money on just two players, but I’m greedy. I’ve trialed TDK instead of Gawn, but when I do that, Russell Robertson breaks down my door and berates me for turning my back on our captain. Well, that and also that Gawn is a real possibility for 200 in round 1. I just think with a full midfield around him, an easier fixture, and an optimistic mindset (this one is me), Gawn will be worth the price. Xerri is in my team purely because the thought of everyone owning him BUT me, is genuinely scary.
FWD: Horne-Francis, Rankine, Macrae, Daniel, Garcia, Powell-Pepper (Paton, Davidson)
I’m going to ignore JHF, Macrae, and Daniel, because I really don’t see why they wouldn’t be in every team. Now, Rankine is just a tantalising prospect. The man is a gun, and with news that he’s going to put around the ball more, he’s going to have to be in everyone’s teams at some point during the season. I’m not going to pretend I know a whole lot about Garcia, but from what I’ve read, he’s a tackling machine, and the coach loves him. There’s also the fact that he seems much more likely to maintain a good average than the cheaper rookies some may pick ahead of him.
FLEX: Flynn
Similar to many teams, cheap, should be scoring well AND making money. Who doesn’t love that!?
I apologise for the long-winded nature of my team reveal, you guys can just pretend to read it and let me know your thoughts if you’d prefer, I’m cool with that.
Hi all, kind of reckon Brayshaw and Dawson will be good, but just swapped them out for Neale and Day. Keen to know your thoughts.
TU Brayshaw and Dawson as keepers
TD Neale and Day (I reckon Day will get injured or not score 148 for a while…so not a keeper)
Cheers
It’s just not fun starting players you have doubts over cause if anything happens you’ll be so annoyed that you didn’t back yourself. Plenty of people will vote Day cause we think he’s gonna be a star but SuperCoach is meant to be fun and your team is more fun if you like the players in it and aren’t begrudgingly having them there

Haven’t seen one “expert” on social media or YT go down the GnR route.. I feel it’s relatively safe to start the big guns with high priced rooks who have the rock solid JS. We can watch the Callaghans cerras Roberts shorts etc for a fortnight and boost into the ones we know look genuine. Rather than trade out of the ones who fail if we start to midprce heavy.. would love a TU/TD on the team of your choice and some discussion
What does everyone think about Tom Stewart. Everyone’s faded him since last year and beint tagged every week. Before that, he was one of the best defenders for years. Thoughts?
Hi All, currently have the following team. Been tossing up what players to start in the backline and finally think I’m happy with the structure. Let me know your thoughts!
DEF: Sheezel, Clark, Roberts, Perryman, Paton, Leake (Reid, Trainor)
MID: Daicos, Serong, Merrett, Dawson, Oliver, FOS, Tsatas, L. Ashcroft (Knevitt, Camporeale, Boxshall)
RUC: Gawn, Xerri (Boyd)
FWD: JHF, Macrae, Smith, Daniel, Kako, Davidson (Stone, Hall)
Flex: Hewett
This is a really solid team for previous years but the depth in that midfield does kind of hurt the backline. Still looks good though
This is my current team. Please rip it to shreds. Any advice is welcome. I’m not sold on Lynch but I can’t afford anyone else like a FOS and I think he should be able to have some big scores. If he scores low then the flex will cover him.

Hey guys, going very mid price this year compared to my typical GnR team. Plan is to be super aggressive with trades early on, with the flex taking away the fear of donuts. Thanks 🙂

There’s a lot of cash stuck on the mid bench there which could possibly be used in improving some on field players. Like maybe one of them down to $120k rookie gives you the cash for Freijah over Bowey who seems on for a better year
Whos FOS?
Never mind – Finn O’sullivan
I think I have finally found something that I’m happy with. Not completely sold on 2 defensive rookies on field but it allows me to have Gawn and Rankine.
Defence
Sheezel Clark short Roberts prior Reid (Leake trainor)
Sheezel has been a lock since day 1 I have no idea where I threw the keys. The next 3 blokes they want the ball in their hands as much as possible. The rest is rookie roulette
Midfield
Serong LDU Oliver cerra callaghan o’Driscoll tsatas knevitt
(hewett camporeale boxshall)
Love serong as a player he might cop a tag every now and again but not bothered. LDU scares me cause he could get injured at any point but dogs round 1 could be a nice score. Oliver will be a top 8 mid. Can’t not have Callaghan with a 144 in his system. Rookies all look like they will play round 1
Rucks
Gawn Xerri (Boyd)
Locked away for the year.
Forwards

I think I have here F1-4 at the end of the season and then a few guys that should make me some extra dollars.

Would love to hear some thoughts on my team.
I forgot to add
Flex
Garcia
I’m thinking Lachie Ash could be a real good POD this year, thoughts??
For me, Gawn AND Xerri is overkill.
Gawn has the easiest opponent round 1 whilst I can’t sit back and watch Xerri go 150 either. The only other 2 I’d consider is TDK and nank both good selections but I think TDK loses both his first 2 rounds to nank and meek. I think nank will still score well but I see hit outs to advantage an issue for him
Is it smart to hold off on daicos until after his bye? That 66 will definitely hurt his price too
TU – wait till after his bye to get him
TD – start him
Any chance of a state of rookies update?
Alrighty, here we go ladies and gentlemen:
Backs: Sheezel, Clark, Roberts, Perryman, Allan, Reid EM: Leake & Busslinger
Mids: Neale, Zerret, Brayshaw, Oliver, Callaghan, Tsatas, Lashcroft, Knevitt EM: Hewitt, Campers, Boxshall
Rucks: Gawn & TDK EM: Boyd
Forwards: JHF, Rankine, Macrae, Daniel, Kako, Paton EM: Stone & Davidson
Flex: Flynn
Spare: $11k
Backs speak for themselves. Backing in Bo Allan to get a lot of the pill and use it better than preseason.
As a Dons man, surprised not as much love for Zerett. He’ll get plenty of it. Dont be scared by preseason. Callaghan is a jet. Brownlow Smokey if he keeps kicking snags.
Gawn soreness seems overkill. Rankine to go next level as mid / forward.
Anyway, feel free to give me the good bad and ugly of it.
Worried Naicos will come out and go bang against Port.
For final 2 mids thinking Naicos and Garcia OR Day and W. Ashcroft
TU: Naicos & Garcia (with forward/mid flexibility)
TD: Day & Washcroft and wait for Naics to drop in price?
Or does drew tag him?
TU: Day
TD: Callaghan
Both.
My season revolves around this decision
TU – Zorko, Rankine, Flynn

Thanks.
If it’s Flynn @ Flex, then YES, but if, as I suspect, it’s Flynn @ R2, then definitely the 2nd option (too much risk with Flynn @ R2).

Tossing up whether i turn Clark into Rankine or put flynn at flex
TU – Zorko, Knevitt
TD – Clark, L Ashcroft
Thanks again.
Firstly, obviously all rookies are subject to change depending on teams.
In regards to the rest, im trying to pick a couple of premo’s that have lower own % this year because in previous years I have been too cookie cutter and it hasn’t worked.
I like the new role for J.Daicos and his low own %, plus when he gets DPP i can flick him down back and pickup a premo or mid pricer iv missed.
I was also thinking of turning TDK into Meek for another POD but not 100% sold as i don’t know too much about either of them so iv just followed the herd with TDK for now.
Iv also chosen Garcia as FLEX as i like the flexibility of his DPP in that position, might come in handy compared to a Flynn who is ruck only.

I’ve got a couple permutations of this set up with Holmes/Xerri/Neale+NOD Vs Zork/TDK/Rozee+ Callaghan fighting it out.
No idea where I’ll land come Thursday…
Thoughts?
I really like Neale and he’s locked in my side but your second option is one less rookie on field. It’s tough but I’d lean the first one just cause I don’t trust Zorko enough myself
TU: Rozee M2 + Holmes D2
TD: Day M2 + Clark D2
TU- NWM, Lynch, SPP
TD- W. Ashcroft, Sanders, Leake
Option 1 gives me a stronger backline whereas option 2 means I will have to field Paton and Reid with Leake on the bench. However, Option 2 does give me a much stronger forward line (JHF, Rankine, Macrae, Daniel, Sanders) and only 3 on field rookies in my mids .
final tweaks needed.
D5, M5 and F6 is my only real problem.
D5 – Perryman, or
M5 – Peatling, or
F5 – Sanders
I like that Sanders should have a good crack in the midfield while Trelor and Bont are out, but if i don’t start with him i have Davidson to come on field at F6 which isn’t a problem.
Peatling was in my team until i brought both Rankine and Dawson in after their impressive games in the AAMI. Too many crows in team? and will Peatling get pushed out of the guts and play 4th banana behind Dawson, Crouch and Rankine?
I have finally put Sheezel into my team, meaning less money in defence.
Perryman is more expensive than Sanders and Peatling and this would mean having to go with cheaper rookies in the midfield (Reid (freo) on field instead of NOD). I liked his role last week, plenty of midfield time, but only managed 90pts. He also has an early bye.
any thoughts?
I’ve gone off peatling, too many in that midfield for me, I don’t know how they will fit them all tbh. Sanders I’m not a huge fan of either especially if Treloar is back round 2, at the same time though he could smash out some 90’s with some of the things heard from his teammates.
Definitely agree with Peatling and I agree that Perryman is probably safer than Sanders but I’d say the argument is between those two. Perryman and Reid or Sanders and NOD would make me lean to the second option if that’s what Derek is tossing up
I’m thinking the same, even putting Sanders in midfield to play Davidson
That price difference is significant
Have gone deeper up fwd in my latest rendition. Also have gone Ascroft due to favorable early draw over the likes of Day with his tag run and bye coming up and Callaghan due to him having the bye in round 2 from which I could always pivot to if he kills it again.)

who is your Flex?
I’ve thought about Ashcroft, but i can’t see him averaging over 100 as the 3rd midfielder at the Lions (same with Day, not sure he can average over 100 being the 4th midfielder at the hawks). at that price you almost want him to average 105 to be a good pick.
Flynn Flex oops!
I think will can average 105 as that 3rd Banana he averaged 107 in his last 7 games including finals last year. he’s only going to get better coming of that injury. if he fails he can be a dump after his easy early fixturing. toyed with an extra premo down back but can’t make it work so I think I’ll take the punt on Ashcroft.
at his price, Ashcroft only needs to average 98pts to be an ok pick and step up to a keeper. with Lions playing round 3 now, he is worth considering
Who’s a better D5 option? 375k available.
TU: Freijah

Flex- Z.Reid
Plan is to drop either roberts or short for F.Callaghan after his bye if he still tracks well this week, like him a lot more the W.Day. This avoids byes and I get one week of cash gen. Also going to be watching Gawn play with one eye shut with his juicy early run, hoping he doesnt burn me too much but I cant find the cash.
Any Thoughts?
i like the Stewart pick. I’ve had Sicily all pre-season, but saw him go forward last week. Stewart for a couple of dollars less seems a more reliable pick, plus no early bye now. tossing up my head and heart on Sicily
I had stewart and Sicily, that forward move on Friday scared me to drop Sicily to Roberts, think once Calsher Dear comes back Sicily may be a top player in that line.
I am reactive like everyone else – hot midprice heavy, but do like the look of this:

Plans:
1) If Callaghan goes big round 1, sideways him in after the bye for worst performing mid.
2) Zorko to Daicos once DPP’s drop. I like Zorkos early draw but dont trust him for a full season.
3) Flynn will be a sideways or down to a rookie if he gets injured early
4) Trade in any top-10 mids as they bottom out in price early on.

Would try and get Perryman & Callaghan in after their byes if I don’t start them
Tu; Short
Td; Perryman
(Short avoids the early bye)
I’ve voted Short cause I have him in my side over Perryman and maybe it’s unnecessary overthinking but is anyone worried that Short has never averaged over 100 and that his role last year hasn’t actually changed?
I have had him in my team virtually all preseason. But his durability is becoming a concern. The argument that the ball will live in the Tigers back half has been a good prompt for us all. But Tigers were wooden spooners last year but we didn’t see great numbers from Short. Rioli leaving is also a prompt for more kickins and more outlet traffic being directed through Short. For me the Short pick was always a stepping stone. If 105 is the minimum for a keeper in defence, then I couldn’t see Short going better than 90-95. Still some value.
I like Freijah more than Short. The 72k in price means he only needs to average around 14 points less than Short to generate the same amount of cash. I think he can go 80+. Of course then the test is to use the 72k wisely to generate the difference in points on field. I am hoping that is Sanders v Garcia.

Ruck: Gawn, TDK
Fwd: JHF, Rankine, Macrae, Smith, Daniel, Davidson (Kako, Hewett)
Flex: R. Sanders
Weighing up a few decisions:
– Leaning Gawn over Xerri with the favourable early fixtures. Plan would be to bring in Xerri after his bye in round 12 which is already shaping to be the most difficult bye to navigate.
– Short v Perryman; Short avoids the early bye but has never averaged 100 in his career. Is Perryman the real deal though?
– Have Cerra at the moment but could become Will Day. I like that Cerra avoids the early bye and has had a fully fit pre season.
– Liking the idea of Sanders in the flex as he holds DPP.
– Rookies of course subject to change with team selections pending.
Thoughts/Opinions appreciated really appreciated!
For those getting rid of Daicos after his bad score, are you:
TU – swapping him to another high premo around the same price (Neale, Serong, Heeney, Merrett etc.)
TD – going down to an underpriced option (Day, Oliver, Rozee, Callaghan etc.) and spending the money elsewhere

Taylor is a nice POD
Can someone give me an insight into why people are so keen on Will Day? Has plenty of talent but I think there could be a better option at a very similar price..
– Kicked 3 goals and had 6 free kicks for on Friday night which is not sustainable.
– Will now get more attention and has struggled with it in the past.
– Faces gws in round 3 (Bedford tag)
– Has the early bye in round 4
For a similar price I am leaning towards Adam cerra who has proven he can average 105+ in the past. Thoughts appreciated!
TU: Cerra
TD: Day
Last year:
I’m removing the Blues game (niggle + tagged), Tigers (got injured), Swans and Dogs games (he was very much finding his footing these two games, think it’s unfair to judge him in those two).
Leaves us with the 12 game stretch he had last season. 107 average (including a Bedford tagged 53)
Regarding his second half vs the Swans.
He scored 34 points in the second half. (Had 45% TOG in the third qtr). And still matched the same amount of disposal’s Newcombe had in the 2nd half despite dealing with both a hard tag and cramping. Round it up to 40 due to the TOG, and times it by two and an 80 with a hard tag is a pass. Especially factoring in that’s when the rain kicked in and the Swans upper their pressure.
Finally, Day is Priced at 91:
He does (IMO):
120 v Dons
105 v Blues
80 v Giants
Bye (80 to cover him)
AVG of 96.25
So you’re getting 5.25 points on his priced average and then he goes into a cherry ripe fixture run where I expect him to put up some serious numbers. He also doesn’t have the Swans or Jordon again, likewise with Bedford after the R4 game.
I’m not personally starting him due to structure and other players I’ve been on all PS, but I’ll most likely be grabbing him after the bye before he really rockets up in price.

$198k in bank for making changes if rookies not selected
That’s a fair bit of coin left over, I was thinking $50-$80k enough
I had another higher priced rookie in midfield (odriscoll) but thought it was a waste to have a rookie over 140k sitting on bench so downgraded him to Hall (which also opens up the mid/fwd swing), also changed bo Allan to aidan johnson (via patton swing) which freed up more coin. Felt like my original team had too many higher priced rookies.
Rookies are tough to pick, wait until teams
My guess is Hall won’t play and Leake is a big sub risk if Green plays
We can decide thursday
Yeah agree that’s why I’ve kept money in bank for now in case some that I’ve picked aren’t selected.
Alright now I’m considering short to wanganeen-milera. Leaves me with 87k still

Which team is the best for a loop hole player. Which team plays the most sunday games? Can’t easily find it.
Yes I know that we have byes, But I dont trust the ruck rookies, So might as well get the extra points and correct to a playing ruck later on if needed.
WC usually plan a lot of Sunday games
Thanks!
Why not just go for one of the rookie rucks that you don’t trust cause they’ll probably get dropped and be a loophole for you by the time the byes are done then?

Sheezel always a lock and Zorko looks to continue his form from last year, based off what he’s done in the pre-season games. Roberts looks to be a breakout, as will Perryman in his new midfield role. Paton and Leake look to have good JS, Reid should too as long as he stays fit. Trainor looks like he’ll have a bright future, but will be interested to see his JS chances are like when Balta and Gibcus return.
M1 started as Bont, then Daicos and now its Neale. Serong was always my M2, will be solid again this year. Rozee should thrive without Butters, and hopefully maintains good enough form when he comes back. Day looks to be a breakout, just need to stay fit. Oliver should be back to form this year, dominated the opposition during the pre-season. Choosing my three onfield rookies was difficult. Lalor being confirmed to play this week made it even more harder. Even though the Tiges are in for a long year, he looks to already be one of their best this year. Tsatas and Ashcroft look to be the most consistent out of the other top rookie priced players. I’m confident enough that at least two of the bench mids have decent JS
Xerri and TDK, never changed since I first filled in my side. Boyd looks okay, but if he falls early he’ll prove to be a good loophole
JHF, Macrae, Smith and Macrae I’ve had since the start, and they all look fantastic. F5 I’d mostly been going back and forth between SPP and Garcia. I personally believe both will average around 70-75, so I’ll with the cheaper guy. Davidson looks very promising, as does Kako. Hewett might miss this week, but he should be only out for this week. He’ll be a gun rookie, so no need to leave him out if he’s only gone for a week or two.
Flynn looks good as the main big guy. Like Reid and Day, just needs to not get injured. At least though if anything goes wrong with Flynn early, it’s an easy fix.
Second time I wrote Macrae was meant to be Daniel, haha
TU: Petracca and Day
TD: Anderson and Ashcroft
How much cash does N.Daicos drop after that 66?
If he scores 120 against both Port and Dogs he’ll drop approx 20.4k before his early bye.
Thanks Abs, not much is it? And he’s def capable of doing that.
My concern with not starting him is that we will have to find the funds to get all three of Bont, Butters and N.Daicos in and none will drop much below 600K. Maybe $550 if we’re lucky.
Coupling that with the fact we all have expensive rookies who will often be slow burners makes me think finding the cash to get these Ubers might be harder than ever.
Definitely not much of a drop at all. That GWS score only effecting his price for a single game definitely doesn’t do much damage.
Definitely valid picking Daicos, I wasn’t ever on him, but if I was I wouldn’t have let the game or score sway me (especially now that they’re saying it was only cramp he was battling).

All good mate.
Can I please have a thumbs up or down for this team?
If Flynn is a flop , I can trade Brayshaw/Dawson to get back on track and won’t lose too much I reckon.
D – Sheez , Short , Roberts , Perryman , Freijah , Paton (Reid , Leake$
M – Brayshaw , Dawson , Rozee , Day , Oliver. , Cerra , NOD , Lashcroft (Kako , Campo , Boxo)
R – Gawn , Flynn (Boyd) – no more rucks

I would have AReid at R3 to handcuff to Flynn if he misses a game

Comment?
Both players have been in my team at various stages but the re-jigged fixture, with the Lions not having a bye until Round 16, definitely swings the decision in Zorko’s favour.
And while I’m on here, this is my 638th dilemma …. this week!
TU : Jordan Clark
TD : Finn Callaghan
TU:
Rankine (F2), Sanders (Flex), NOD (M6)
TD:
Will Day (M3), Sanders (F4), NOD (Flex)
Basically comes down to Rankine v Day;
Rankine avoids the early bye out of the two and is more likely imo to be a keeper considering he is a forward, however would I be committing with too many forwards early in the season incase others get DPP like Warner/Trac??
Currently have: JHF, Macrae, Smith & Daniel as my other ‘keepers’.
Thoughts on this one would be really appreciated!!
Hi all,

Thanks. good luck everyone
Ok so I reckon this’ll be my final team (I promise I’ll stop posting it)

Fwd: JHF, Rankine, Macrae, Sanders, Daniel, Davidson (Leake, Hewett)
Flex: Flynn
I feel slightly uncomfortable about the lighter backline as the rookies are bad but Prior and Reid should hold worst case scenario (can any bombers fans confirm or deny their JS for me). Im fading Baz as moving on from Daicos allowed me to upgrade to Rankine. Ashcroft and Cerra have good fixtures whilst Sanders has the potential with the depleted midfield. Would love any feedback.
11,900 ITB
Think you mean Stone there in the Fwds 🙂
Whoops yep you’re right
TU Gawn
TD Xerri
Gawn has the better run up until the mid season byes. I think you want them both at some stage however I will be starting Gawn with the plan to bring in Xerri after his bye.
Have had Cerra in my mids all pre-season but Callaghan over him with give me 18 playing in Round 12 – my only tricky bye
TU: Keep Cerra – 12% owned – 17 Playing R12
TD: Callaghan – 24% owned – 18 Playing R12
Who are you counting as playing in round 12? Are there lots of rookies/value options that will be traded by then?
I would be looking at making sure you don’t have more than 7 keepers for that round. That gives you 24 other sports to get your 18 players playing.
hey all, probably the 578th time i’ve sent in the team but i’m close to soldifying in before tomorrow night. Please leave some comments if you have time to let me know your thoughts. Thanks.

Hi SCT Team, any chance of getting some polls up before the end of the week? Some suggestions :
Now that your team is close to finalized (barring team selections for rookies) –
– how many 600K+ players do you have in your team?
– how many rookies will you be starting on the field?
– how many mid priced players do you have ($300K – $500K)?
– Have the Round 2 – 4 bye rounds impacted your decision when selecting your starting players (ie – choosing not to start with premiums from GCS, GWS, Coll, Syd, Ess & Hawks)?
– What position is your Plex player?
– How much cash in bank do you anticipate having at the commencement of R1?
I do love a poll, especially as we all look towards finalizing our teams and deciding on how best to maximize scoring potential; more rookies for cash growth or more mid pricers hopefully to take the next step in becoming a must have?

FLEX: Flynn
Chopped and changed plenty but always seem to come back to this structure. Having the 2 defensive rookies on field doesn’t sit great but can’t seem to find a way out without compromising somewhere else.
I’m a little surprised theres been basically a universal movement to drop Naicos. Obviously the 66 isnt great but he did cop the Bedford tag so we weren’t expecting 130+. And I do think the cramping stuff is a little overblown, Day and Whitfield also cramped, and in the first half he still had 18 odd touches so he found the ball absolutely fine. Realistically even if he did have another stinker rookies will not have fattened enough to upgrade to him so when are you realistically expecting to bring him in? He doesn’t have Jordon till round 5 so you could be waiting 7 or so weeks before he MAYBE drops in price enough to justify the fade. Just think it was a bloody hot day up in sydney so cramping is normal and with Port and Doggies to come (scored 133 and 156 against resperctively last szn) I think he’s too scary a fade. What am I missing?
he does have an early bye, so most people belive he is a target after the bye and a slight discount
Abs pointed out earlier that if he gets 120 against both the Dogs and Port he’ll only come down about 20K.
And we still have to find funds to get Bont and Butters who won’t come down much either.
Agree on this, if he scores well vs Port and Dogs, his price drop won’t be significant enough to justify not starting with him. It eats up a trade (or 2 or 3, really) and it’s unlikely you’ll have enough cash gen from rookies at such an early point.
Please give me advise on this first attempt..

Is it viable to run the following fwd line?

My slight concern was not leaving enough space for potential DPP forwards that may arise such as Warner or Petracca.
However my plan is to trade out the likes of Sanders for Daicos early on and possibly Bailey smith once they make a decent amount $$. This should still leave enough room for other forwards if need be.
Thoughts appreciated!

Couldn’t decide so going with both
I’m not completely happy with this but its what I am going with until Teams are named.
Still pondering Perryman/Freijah and O’Connell/Prior being the likely changes.

Going strong Mids has done me well over the years so have gone that way again.
Going light down back, reverse of what most people are going. Happy for the Byes and the Flex to compensate for that weaker defence.
Faded Flynn. Haven’t been able to construct a decent side I am happy with when he is in. If Garcia can match Flynn then thats a win for me.
Will still be tinkering right up to the last bounce on Sunday I’d say.
The best week in Supercoach is right now!
May as well give me some thumbs on this:
TU: Pay the Perryman
TD: Don’t pay the Perryman
i’ve been tossing up between Peatling, Sanders and Perryman all week.
in the end i think i’m going to go with Cerra.
will mean one of the expensive midfield rookies down to Paton. But i’ve gone back nad had a look at his previous year scores and they are pretty good. for an extra $30k over perryman.
Yeah prob Cerra. Looked good in the Praccy match and has always been able to score well. Just whether if he stays fit which is a risk to all of them really. Hard to compare Perryman and Cerra because the Def line is an complete entity all by itself, whereas the Mids/Fwds can be little more interchangeable.
Sanders I don’t really like because I think even Freijah could steal a few points off him if Bevo runs him thru the mids (was spotted training with the mids group this week apparently if that info is correct?). I’m not really making my judgment call on that with Freijah to select him (just need the extra cash really).
never really had Cerra on my radar, but when jagga went down i saw he was 2nd or maybe 3rd banana in the midfield, and he has the ability to score.
I don’t mind the injury risk, if you start him. Just one trade to get him out.
I didn’t start Yeo, ryan and Zorko last year because of the injury risk and look what happened there.
Could go Freijah instead…sneaky N. Haynes/R. Lobb?
Until he gets you to the other side.
Quick Poll please.
For D6:
TU: Leake
TD: Paton
leake is a big sub risk with Green a possible start this week
TU : W Day
TD : W Ashcroft
Tossing up between either

Is it worth leaving Callaghan until his round 2 bye, see how he goes & then picking him up
Really tough to make a defence this year (other than Sheezel). I have had Houston, Ash and Whitfield at different stages but have left them out due to the bye.
The impact the kick-in strategy at Collingwood will have on Houston’s score is a concerning, similar to how Fremantle’s new game plan will impact Ryan’s scoring is concerning.
I’m also concerned having 4 Essendon rookies who will lose a week in cash generation due to the bye and no round 0, do you think this will matter is the long run? Just curious to see if others are not picking them because of this. This is my side atm, other than my defence I’m fairly happy.

That’s alot of value picks, I like it, just got to be mindful of having a couple top tier premiums for captain and vice each week. Otherwise it’s looking great
Cheers, and I agree with you…with N. Daicos having the Rd3 bye and Bont and Butters injured had to get creative…so have gone Sanders down to H Garcia up forward and Brayshaw ‘up’ to Neale, although obviously will depend on teams tomorrow night…thanks for the advice!

Deciding between these 2 differences in my team –

TD : Freijah, H Garcia & Hewett (will be on the mid bench) with 1 DEF rookie, 4 MID rookies & 1 FWD rookie on the field & $91,600 ITB
Basically, TU has one extra premium but one extra onfield rookie compared to TD with a couple of mid pricers and one less onfield rookie

What do people have Sanders averaging for the first 6-8 weeks?
75-85.
Having Gawn, Xerri and TDK as flex
Crazy or genius if it fits in the structure
Do it.
Can swap any of them for any premium on the field.
Plus every week,
Gawn-110
Xerri-110
TDK-110
‘C’ -110
Between the 3 of them expect this out put on average every week being conservative. If one goes 90 another goes 140-160.

Pretty sure this is what I’ll be rolling with.

Sanders should be JHF/Rankin. Maby cut a mid down to NOD.
Having a weaker fwd line than 90 percent of teams this season means that if the money you have spent elswhere(Petracca, Cripps etc) Dosn’t pay off your way behind. Your basically fielding an extra fwd rookie compare to a mid one in other teams.

I have gone with Gawn over TDK. I’m just worried about TDK’s long term scoring. Gawn also provides a genuine captaincy option every week. Petracca and Oliver’s return to form should also help Gawn’s scoring even more.
I have 5 genuine captain options with this team (Sheezel, Neale, Serong, Gawn and Xerri). You could also say Zorko is another one early in the season.
Who would the top three defensive rookies be?? I also feel a bit thin in the midfield. However I do trust the midfield rookies to perform compared to other positions.

Final showing before the “blockbuster” Thursday night game.
$10,000 left.
DEF: Sheezel, Clark, Wanganeen-Milera, Short, Roberts, Prior (Leake, Reid)
Five deep here, with one of Roberts or Short possibly being a keeper. I just really don’t trust the rookies in defence, and am more than willing to spend a little extra here. Sheezel shouldn’t have to be explained, he’s a genuine gun, and no matter where he plays he’s worth top dollar. I can’t say I’m 100% sold on Clark, purely due to uncertainty on how Freo will operate. St Kilda want the ball in NWM’s hands, and he’s going to be showing everybody why he’s getting million dollar offers.
MID: Anderson, Petracca, Oliver, O’Sullivan, O’Driscoll, Tsatas, L. Ashcroft, Knevitt (Kako, Hewett, Camporeale)
Look, it’s weak. I’m not going to lie to any of you and pretend I can look at my midfield and have confidence in it, but sacrifices had to be made. Anderson is finally going to learn that footy is footy, no matter if he’s playing at home or away, and thus his scores will reflect that (hopefully). Petracca is just a beautiful, beautiful man, and my blind delusion as a Melbourne supporter has me believing both he and Oliver are all set to return to the top again. I believe all the rookies present are both good enough and secure enough that they should be making money, at least more so than I am with the rookies in other lines.
RUC: Gawn, Xerri (Boyd)
I will admit, it is a little bit ugly spending so much money on just two players, but I’m greedy. I’ve trialed TDK instead of Gawn, but when I do that, Russell Robertson breaks down my door and berates me for turning my back on our captain. Well, that and also that Gawn is a real possibility for 200 in round 1. I just think with a full midfield around him, an easier fixture, and an optimistic mindset (this one is me), Gawn will be worth the price. Xerri is in my team purely because the thought of everyone owning him BUT me, is genuinely scary.
FWD: Horne-Francis, Rankine, Macrae, Daniel, Garcia, Powell-Pepper (Paton, Davidson)
I’m going to ignore JHF, Macrae, and Daniel, because I really don’t see why they wouldn’t be in every team. Now, Rankine is just a tantalising prospect. The man is a gun, and with news that he’s going to put around the ball more, he’s going to have to be in everyone’s teams at some point during the season. I’m not going to pretend I know a whole lot about Garcia, but from what I’ve read, he’s a tackling machine, and the coach loves him. There’s also the fact that he seems much more likely to maintain a good average than the cheaper rookies some may pick ahead of him.
FLEX: Flynn
Similar to many teams, cheap, should be scoring well AND making money. Who doesn’t love that!?
I apologise for the long-winded nature of my team reveal, you guys can just pretend to read it and let me know your thoughts if you’d prefer, I’m cool with that.

It’s just not fun starting players you have doubts over cause if anything happens you’ll be so annoyed that you didn’t back yourself. Plenty of people will vote Day cause we think he’s gonna be a star but SuperCoach is meant to be fun and your team is more fun if you like the players in it and aren’t begrudgingly having them there
Great point – cheers!
