please let me know what u think. i feel like i have too many round 0 players (especially the mids) and at risk of losing too many points. Is my team good as it is or does it need some magnets moved????
FOR – fish, fyfe, Jordan, Reid
Lazaro, sexton (Wilson, Camden)
$23k in bank. Rookies will change around but think I’m happy with premos.
Have a bit of a pod that I’ve seen in Trac. Haven’t seen one team on social media with him! He was insane for me last year even with Oliver in so I am a little biased. Could work out might not but worth a try!
Was stuck on Dawson vs butters vs gulden but have settled on Dawson thanks to your guys votes.
Won my cash league against all odds last year! Keen for the season and go blues.
Any ideas or advice please reply! Love some constructive feedback. Good luck legends
I’ve got Lyons too but wasn’t sure which one of Fyfe/Lyons/Bonner/Berry to get.
Jackson over Gawn a solid pick based on injury to Darcy, I risked it too and gone Gawnless, could massively backfire but will reassess after the early byes which of the premo rucks to go for out of Gawn/English/Marshall and drop Jackson, if this is when Darcy comes back from injury.
I wasn’t keen on going down a premo in the mid however I feel Jackson is a huge have because of the ambiguity around Darcy and I see them being hyper cautious with him due to his history of injury etc. Flanders played himself back into a spot last week however do the Suns play that well every week?

Hey Wighty! The q here is which dusty you get… if you get 22 game 100+ dusty then I’d go that way.Butters will do 15-20 more than Martin imo, so it’s if you think the diff tween lipinski(smith role?) and dusty is that…. Just my two cents and all the best for the season and all the worst for bombers 🙂
Nick Martin looks good in his new role and is a talent, should be very SC friendly with upside.
Butters is a high price for good reasons but I don’t think will move too much in price, I’m going Martin in my mix.
Hopefully this is the year we play a full year out – Go Bombers
Not sure if the right mids have been picked (primarily Serong) or if it’s fine and not go grab Green and bring in another R0 player. Any thoughts or comments about the team as a whole?
I Selected Newcombe and Mackenzie as a little point of difference to a Nic Martin/ wines or a Fyfe, both should make money.
i am open to opinion how ever trying to avoid old dog injury prone as much as possible and Williams is already that type.
my team has changed a lot today and this is where i am at…
DEF: Daicos, Sheezel, Young, Williams, Gibcus, Coffield (Howes, Reid)
MID: Liberatore, Butters, Green, Newcombe, Miller, Martin, Lyons, Sanders (Hustwaite, Roberts, Clark)
RUCK: Gawn, Grundy (Maley)
FWD: Flanders, Fisher, Jordan, Reid, Lazzaro, Sexton (Wilson, Cadman)
What does everyone think? Does J. Lyons have good job security, should i trust him?? if not, where do i go? Thanks
As a Lions man, Lyons’ best days are behind him. Most supporters are shocked he was in the starting 22. Definite chance to be a perennial sub, injuries notwithstanding.
A few justifications/explanations…
– Side is close to Guns & Rookies as I’ve ever been. Have largely resisted the temptation for midpricers this year.
– After avoiding double bye players, I simply decided that the points I expect Daicos, Green, Grundy and to a lesser extent Flanders to make in increased points/captaincy was worth the risk.
– I went from being 4 premo plus D’Ambrosio to this. After thinking the defensive rookies were a bust, I suddenly like the options there. Reverse is true for Forwards.
– Wilkie is an underated, reliable POD. Not a bad thing to have a guy like that around, especially in defence. Had Sheezel for ages in the team, but half of North’s list is playing across HB apparently. I don’t think he’ll go down, but probably won’t go up a great deal either. Maybe.
– I had Hustwaite for a long time, same with McKercher & Reid, but those high-price rookies scare me. Given the choice, I’ll usually plump for the lower-prices rookie and put my money into premos elsewhere.
– Rolled the dice on Holmes vs Wines
– The rucks is probably the biggest gamble. Call me crazy, but I don’t trust Gawn. I try to keep to a “no players older than 30 rule” and more to the point, I don’t trust Melbourne. Both Grundy and Xerri should see growth in average but I just don’t see rucks as the solid gold captain option they used to be.
– Rankine is set to explode this year I think. I haven’t looked how many early games the Crows have, but he could be a handy VC option.
– I had Rayner all through the leadup until switching him out for Flanders last week. I wouldn’t be surprised though if he builds his avergae by 10-15 pts.
– Khamis could be a smokey. Dogs are thin in the KPD stocks it seems to me.
Genuinely found I’m struggling to decide between premo’s this year rather than mid pricers and rookies. This is one of many coin tosses I’m strugglig with. So who averages more
Is james Jordan must?
I’m so torn on him I’d have to upgrade lazzaro and probably have to compromise my premiums going Dawson and Houston to LDU and young to find the cash.
already looking at where to go with gibcus next week:
TU: trade dawson to sam berry now, allowing to straight swap gibcus to houston next week
TD: Keep mid promos and try to find an alternative less then 200k in defence (already have howes, coff and reid)
If you have the cash? (most haven’t). Stewart is like $635k and Jackson only $547k so you would have to restructure further so I wouldn’t do it. Would be hard to fit Houston either so the only other I would consider would be Wanganeen-Milera.
But prob not, just leave the structure how it is and go Gibcus to Hore/Dean/Pink.
i’ve made a few changes to my team since early march
English > Gawn (Save $132k) – having flashbacks to last year without English. Plan is to trade Grundy to English round 5.
Fyfe > Fisher (Cost $95k) – Fyfe didn’t suck me in last year, and lets not test our luck this year
Houston > Green (Cost $30k) – Green was always going to be in my team
Now have 3 premiums with early bye (Green, Grundy & Gawn), they have different byes so should cover them ok. Will look at trading Grundy round 5.
I have $40k itb, so can go Stewart to Daicos and follow the crowd, but i’m happy to back Stewart’s 6 rounds to outscore Daicos’s 5 rounds plus a rookie score.
With the Gibcus injury last night, which way is best to go regarding his replacement?
Tu; Start an extra defensive premium, move daicos into the mids this week, swing him back next week and look at brining in a MID/FWD rookie for Gibcus.
Td; Straight swap to DEFENDER rookie
(Pink/Hore ect)
Current defensive rookies are; Williams, Reid, Howes & Coffield. I’m sure others are in a similar situation. Perhaps depends on the JS of Pink from Nth Melb? Thoughts appreciated!
MID: Bont Green Rozee NMartin Wines Bonner Sanders McKercher (Wilson Clark Roberts)
RUCK: Marshall Grundy (livingstone)
FWD: Flanders Heeney Fisher Jordan Reid Sexton (Burgess Cadman)
BANK: $22,100
I am pretty happy overall with steucture but still have a little voice on my shoulder saying I must swap Heeney or Flanders to Jackson. But that requires finding another $31k and I already had to reshuffle to get lazzaro up to Jordan.. any thoughts on this team? Cheers
Feel like there is no noise about the SC ramifications for Liam Reidy being selected in Freo’s extended squad. Still a chance to play this week, definitely a chance to play in the next few weeks. Jackson not worth it if he isn’t No.1 Ruck
Thoughts?
Yeah this has entered my thoughts SCTank we’d know by tonight.. but I don’t think reidy plays this weekend or any week I think he’s just there purely for if Jackson had a training injury or got ill they have reidy on their emergency list and there fore easier to name if need be. I think Jackson solo rucks the next month.
I like that Jackson has no bye, creates ruck cover for me and can match both heeney and Flanders without shrek. But it’s the elevated price that makes it difficult for alot of people.. I think all 3 can be season keepers in the forward line.
Nice one. You’ll be able to sleep at night with that team now! Love the Marshall/Rozee picks and the minor sacrifices with that. I’m too stubborn to give up my prem mids but wish I could Marshall in. Not wild about the Wines/Bonner but its what you have to do with the juggle.
Huge SC ramifications for Liam Reidy being selected in Freo’s extended squad for Luke Jackson. Reidy still a chance to play this week, and definitely more than half a chance to play in the next few weeks while Darcy is out. This will mean Jackson will play more forward and is not worth picking him.
Thoughts?
For those going with Jackson fwd, are you playing a non-playing 102k ruc/fwd rookie R3 (Maley?), or filling that spot with a playing ruck? Maybe Sweet?
Missed Briggs last year due to the fwd swing setup, even though he was a bit more expensive… in two minds about it
Gotta have the DPP at R3 for the flexibility if your running Jackson in my opinion.
You’d kick yourself if your R1 or R2 copped a one or two week injury or suspension and couldn’t cover..
I don’t even have a ruckman in my forward line but still running DPP at R3 incase I grab Jackson mid season and can use the swing in the second half of the year.. that’s probably thinking too far ahead though haha

nice team, liking the Newcombe pick.

Jackson over Gawn a solid pick based on injury to Darcy, I risked it too and gone Gawnless, could massively backfire but will reassess after the early byes which of the premo rucks to go for out of Gawn/English/Marshall and drop Jackson, if this is when Darcy comes back from injury.
Nice team Brody
is Butters 100% fit? i heard he hurt an ankle that he had already injured this preseason.
I like Rozee as well for a few dollars less
I heard on a podcast the other day he is all good ready to go for round 1. Could be false I’m not 100% sure. If he is ruled out I’ll go LDU or rozee
What do we think? Have taken a premo out of the mid for Fyfe to get Jackson and Flanders in, which impacted my structure a little bit:
DEF: Daicos, Sheezel, Young, Williams, Bowes, Coffield. Gibcus, Reid.
MID: Bont, Green, Miller, Steele, Martin, Fyfe, McKercher, Sanders. Roberts, Sharp, Clarke.
RUCK: Gawn, Grundy. Livingstone.

I wasn’t keen on going down a premo in the mid however I feel Jackson is a huge have because of the ambiguity around Darcy and I see them being hyper cautious with him due to his history of injury etc. Flanders played himself back into a spot last week however do the Suns play that well every week?

What’s a competitive score for round 1?
At least 2800 to 3000 if u get 2500 to 2760 be great start

Generally a bye rounds score of 2200+ is good, but that’s for the mid season byes. Reckon 2000 will be good for early season byes.

if you were tossing up between fyfe, Jordon and Harmes, for me Jordon would get the nod
TU: Green & Lazzaro
TD: Touk/Steele & Jordan
TU: Touk
TD: Steele
Hi everyone – advice please
T/U Butters and Fisher or
T/D Martin and Jackson
Also
T/U Whitfield and Butters or
T/D Houston and Martin
already looking at where to go with gibcus next week:
TU: trade dawson to sam berry now, allowing to straight swap gibcus to houston next week
TD: Keep mid promos and try to find an alternative less then 200k in defence (already have howes, coff and reid)
if so, who are some sub 200k options
See how Hore goes this week and go Gibcus to Hore next week. Rookie price for Rookie price and stick with structure if you are happy with it.
TU: T.Green
TD: LDU
Who score more this week?
T/U- Z.Reid
T/D- Coffield
Who scores more this week? (Pt 2)
T/U- H.Reid
T/D- Lazarro
who does gibcus go to if i can find around 250k for him
Zwilliams or d’Ambrosio.
Not really any other options in that price range
TU: Windsor, dempsey, wehr
TD: Berry, khamis, mannagh
With Gibcus news, is it worth dropping Jackson from F1 to lazzaro at F5 and going 4 deep in defense by adding T Stewart?
Or leave as is.
Current def structure: Daicos, Sheezel, Young, Williams, Gibcus, Howes (Reid, Coffield)
Fwds: Jackson, Flanders, Fisher, Jordan, Reid, sexton (Wilson, Cadman)
Tu – change
Td – leave
Trying to look at starting likely keepers as im sure we will need the trades for injuries and corrections
If you have the cash? (most haven’t). Stewart is like $635k and Jackson only $547k so you would have to restructure further so I wouldn’t do it. Would be hard to fit Houston either so the only other I would consider would be Wanganeen-Milera.
But prob not, just leave the structure how it is and go Gibcus to Hore/Dean/Pink.
i’ve made a few changes to my team since early march
English > Gawn (Save $132k) – having flashbacks to last year without English. Plan is to trade Grundy to English round 5.
Fyfe > Fisher (Cost $95k) – Fyfe didn’t suck me in last year, and lets not test our luck this year
Houston > Green (Cost $30k) – Green was always going to be in my team
Now have 3 premiums with early bye (Green, Grundy & Gawn), they have different byes so should cover them ok. Will look at trading Grundy round 5.
I have $40k itb, so can go Stewart to Daicos and follow the crowd, but i’m happy to back Stewart’s 6 rounds to outscore Daicos’s 5 rounds plus a rookie score.
Never been a big fan of the idea of “I’m going to do this in Round XX” haha,usually fighting fires and never works out like that!
I like the changes though.
Rucks kill us every year, the only year I’ve ever had good rucks was back in the Cox/Sandilands era!)
With extra backline rookies popping up, is it worth bringing in an extra mid premo. Last two team options below
T/U – Houston & Sharp/Mannagh (M11)
D6 = Howe/Coffield
M8 = Roberts
T/D – Hore & Butters
D5/D6 = Howe/Hore/Coffield
M8 = Sanders
i did similar. swapped Houston (Def) to Green (Mid) and running only 3 premos in defence plus williams and 4 rookies.
With the Gibcus injury last night, which way is best to go regarding his replacement?
Tu; Start an extra defensive premium, move daicos into the mids this week, swing him back next week and look at brining in a MID/FWD rookie for Gibcus.
Td; Straight swap to DEFENDER rookie
(Pink/Hore ect)
Current defensive rookies are; Williams, Reid, Howes & Coffield. I’m sure others are in a similar situation. Perhaps depends on the JS of Pink from Nth Melb? Thoughts appreciated!
only best 18, 4 or the next 5 rounds. leave it a week until a rookie is on the bubble
After some tinkering, I think I am finally settled.. I have gone:
Dawson -> Rozee
Lazzaro -> J.Jordan
Gawn -> Marshall.
DEF: Daicos Houston Sheezel Zilliams Howes Coffield (Gibcus Reid)
MID: Bont Green Rozee NMartin Wines Bonner Sanders McKercher (Wilson Clark Roberts)
RUCK: Marshall Grundy (livingstone)
FWD: Flanders Heeney Fisher Jordan Reid Sexton (Burgess Cadman)
BANK: $22,100
I am pretty happy overall with steucture but still have a little voice on my shoulder saying I must swap Heeney or Flanders to Jackson. But that requires finding another $31k and I already had to reshuffle to get lazzaro up to Jordan.. any thoughts on this team? Cheers
Feel like there is no noise about the SC ramifications for Liam Reidy being selected in Freo’s extended squad. Still a chance to play this week, definitely a chance to play in the next few weeks. Jackson not worth it if he isn’t No.1 Ruck
Thoughts?
Yeah this has entered my thoughts SCTank we’d know by tonight.. but I don’t think reidy plays this weekend or any week I think he’s just there purely for if Jackson had a training injury or got ill they have reidy on their emergency list and there fore easier to name if need be. I think Jackson solo rucks the next month.
I like that Jackson has no bye, creates ruck cover for me and can match both heeney and Flanders without shrek. But it’s the elevated price that makes it difficult for alot of people.. I think all 3 can be season keepers in the forward line.
Nice one. You’ll be able to sleep at night with that team now! Love the Marshall/Rozee picks and the minor sacrifices with that. I’m too stubborn to give up my prem mids but wish I could Marshall in. Not wild about the Wines/Bonner but its what you have to do with the juggle.
Hi Coaches,
Is it worth Downgrading to Jackson to Lazzaro and moving Roberts to bench to field:
Mannagh > S.Berry
Gawn > English
Flanders > Butters
T/U Yes
T/D No
Huge SC ramifications for Liam Reidy being selected in Freo’s extended squad for Luke Jackson. Reidy still a chance to play this week, and definitely more than half a chance to play in the next few weeks while Darcy is out. This will mean Jackson will play more forward and is not worth picking him.
Thoughts?
All teams have back up rucks as emergency incase the main ruckman gets an illness or injury before first bounce. Don’t read too much into it.
Treacy will ruck when Jackson needs a rest
Gave my two cents above SCTank.
TU Steele + Lyons
TD M Crouch + Bonner
Who has the better JS?
TU: Hore
TD: Coffield
I’ll probably grab the other for gibcus next week anyway if named again but want to lock in the best of the two this week.
For those going with Jackson fwd, are you playing a non-playing 102k ruc/fwd rookie R3 (Maley?), or filling that spot with a playing ruck? Maybe Sweet?
Missed Briggs last year due to the fwd swing setup, even though he was a bit more expensive… in two minds about it
Gotta have the DPP at R3 for the flexibility if your running Jackson in my opinion.
You’d kick yourself if your R1 or R2 copped a one or two week injury or suspension and couldn’t cover..
I don’t even have a ruckman in my forward line but still running DPP at R3 incase I grab Jackson mid season and can use the swing in the second half of the year.. that’s probably thinking too far ahead though haha
What Mav said.
Captain loophole as well.
Dr Livingstone for me…..
What are we thinking so far
DEF – N Daicos, Houston, Sheezel, Z Williams, Gibcus, Howes (Bench Z Reid, N Coffield)
MID – Bont, Laird, Butters, Green, Flanders, McKercher, Sanders, Roberts (Bench C Windsor, Sharp, Clark)
RUCK – English, Grundy (Bench Livingstone)
FWD – Jackson, Fisher, Jordon, H Reid, Sexton, Wilson (Bench Lazzaro, Mannagh)
Tu – Newcombe + Fyfe
Td – Butters + Lazzaro
TU- Rozee
Td – LDU
TU: sheezel
TD: young
Sheezels making me nervous being named onball this weekend.
DEF: Daicos, Sheezel, Young, Williams, GIBCUS, Coffield (Howes, Reid)
MID: Liberatore, Butters, Green, Newcombe, Miller, Martin, Berry, Sanders (McKercher, Roberts, Clark)
RUCK: Gawn, Grundy (Livingstone)
FWD: Flanders, Fisher, Jordan, Reid, Lazzaro, Sexton (Wilson, Cadman)
Obviously i’ll need to swap over gibcus next week (maybe hore or pink) but what does everyone think about the team as it stands?? i’ve been losing sleep over it
who scores more round 1?
TU: Lazzaro
TD: McKercher
Would love any feedback! Probably changed my team 100 times but this is what I’ve landed on:
DEF: Daicos, Sheezel, Young, Williams, Gibcus, Coffield (Reid, Howes)
MID: Bontempelli, Butters, Green, Rowell, Newcombe, N.Martin, McKercher, Sanders (Roberts, Wilson, Clark)
RUCK: Jackson, Grundy (Livingstone)
FWD: Flanders, Fisher, Jordan, Reid, Windsor, Sexton (Duursma, Cadman)
TU: Windsor
TD : Lazzaro
Now JOM has been withdrawn does that make sharp relevant? He’s been bought into the starting 18 on the wing
TU: sharp
TD: burgess
Who has better job security and scoring ability
TU Howes
TD Hore
Thanks good luck everyone
TU: Libba & Fyfe
TD: Serong & Fisher
T/U Fyfe
T/D Lyons (with a 106 score in bank)?
Chances of one of Lazzaro or Duursma being sub
T/U Yes
T/D No – both should play
Also same question for Sharp last game possibility as sub
T/U High
T/D Low
Who to start?
T/U McKercher
T/D Sanders
