Hi coaches, have at my final squad!
Def – Crisp, Dawson, Sicily, Hewett, Hinge, Mccartin (S De Koning, M Cox)
Mid – Macrae, Miller, Neale, Rowell, Berry, JHF, Daicos, Ward (Rachele, Stephens, MacDonald)
Ruc – Grundy, Gawn (Preuss)
Fwd – Dunkley, Butters, Treloar, Coniglio, Brodie, Xerri (Hayes, Dixon)
$10,200 left over
I’m pretty stoked with this team at the moment but let me know what you think. I believe this team has plenty of cash generation and high scoring potential if the likes of Xerri, Berry, Brodie and Hewett work out for cheap.
Very nice looking team, however Preuss seems to be a wasted pick if you already have both Gawn and Grundy, could look to free up some money there to use on the back line.
Good luck.
Cheers Ben!
My logic behind the Preuss pick is that I had $110,000 left with a rookie in that spot and I really didn’t see any potential for upgrades elsewhere with that amount so I put Preuss on the bench due to his monster AAMI game. He could turn out to be the best cow in the league and I don’t want to miss out!
T/U: Lloyd and Xerri
T/D: Ryan/Ridley and McGovern
Following on from that:
T/U: Ridley
T/D: Ryan
That’s a pretty tough one. Gov would have a lot more JS than Xerri but we did see Xerri has a potentially huge ceiling if given the ruck minutes he did in pre season. I’ve voted the Ridley/Mcgovern option as I think this is the year not to pick Lloyd up at full price at the start of the season. Xerri has the chance to be a top cow in the league so I’d consider ridley/xerri and save your cash. Either way though I think you’ve got two good options which could both work out!
Fist time posting this year, really need some feedback because im a bit lost.
Happy with most the team but bit worries about chapman and brodie.
Also highly considering finding the cash to turn JHF into berry. Anyone else running with both Rowell and Berry?
All feeback welcome.

I’m running with Rowell and Berry! I believe it’s a great decision this year but it obviously comes with its risks, but to me the rewards outweigh them. Picking them allows you to fit in the expensive rookies elsewhere and create more cash generation while both of them have the potential to average 80 , if they manage to both hit that you have created cash from them directly and netted even more around the ground with the money you’ve saved, could be a season winner. As for Chapman I’m not too sure but I do think you don’t need to be worried about Brodie, he looks to be the guy coming in for Cerra. I don’t think the addition of Fyfe will kick Brodie out unless he’s seriously underperforming which I don’t see happening as he’s a quality player.
Team is looking great mate!
Thanks mate i appreciate the feedback.
I guess my worries for Brodie come from not knowing much about him and his role or Fremantle as a whole for that matter but what your saying makes sense, i think il roll the dice and give him a go.
Don’t sweat, Casta. That’s a rock solid side.
Yeah, I’m running Rowell and Berry currently.
Berry looks to be in really good shape in a blended MID, wing and half forward role. Two strong pre-season games. Think he can do 80+ which is nice value.
Outside of JHF, Daicos, MacDonald, Ward, C. Stephens and Hough, MID rookies aren’t looking that great. So I wouldn’t be culling one of them to finance Berry. Need the rookies as cash gen. Find the coin elsewhere.
On JHF quickly, he will have a low floor for a 200k rookie given his mostly deep FWD pocket but his CP work, conversion on even limited MID time and scoreboard ability make him a must have. Will have some Gulden-esque games.
I didn’t like him him to start but have come around.
Thanks GD, great feedback and insight as usual.
My ideal situation would be to fit in Berry as well as JHF, Daicos and put Ward on the bench, but i dont wanna give up a premium mid to do that and not sure where else to find the cash, maybe downgrade grundy or gawn to obrien. Not sure, because im pretty happy with the other lines and dont wanna change my current structure.
Well said on JHF GD, he looks like he’ll be an impact player with his contested work giving him an edge to scoring well at times
Dropped Steele for Rowell.
Allowed me to grab Chapman for Hinge & Heeney for Xerri.
Not sure how I feel about it, however Rowell & Berry are both must own for mine…
Wow!
Big call Abs.
I can see why you did it but having Steele as a captain selection has to factor into your consideration.
Good luck.
That’s dirty, Abs!
Could work though.
Steele (125), Hinge (70) & Xerri (80) = 275, 1x C option, 1x keeper, injury risk in Hinge and role reliance for Xerri
Rowell (100), Chapman (75), Heeney (105) = 280, no C option, 1x keeper*, guaranteed cash gen, insulation against Rowell’s ownership
I know GD, not an easy decision.
Midfield looking like:
Macrae / Touk / Neale / Rowell / Berry / JHF / Daicos / Ward
(Stephens, MacDonald, Hough)
Don’t love chopping Steele, but offers flexibility & the midfield IMO is still strong.
DEF: Lloyd, Short, Ridley, Whitfield, Hewett, Hinge (McCartin, De Koning)
MID: Macrae, Steele, Neale, Rowell, Berry, JHF, Daicos, Ward (D.Stephens, Macdonald, Tsitsas – Loop)
RUCK: Darcy, Grundy (Hayes)
FWD: Dunkley, Butters, Coniglio, Brodie, Xerri, Rachele (Martin, Dixon)
Bank: 10.4k.
– Happy with the current setup, only main concern is having only 3 big gun mid premos. Thoughts would be appreciated 🙂
Final squad. Love some thoughts
B: Lloyd, Crisp, Whitfield, Chapman, Gibcus, Sinn (De Koning, Uwland)
M: Macrae, Steele, Neale, Cripps, Rowell, Berry, JHF, Daicos (J. Ward, D. Stephens, J. Tsitas)
R: Darcy, Grundy (Hayes)
F: Dunkley, Heeney, Butters, Cogs, Rachele, McCartin (Hollands, Martin)
$3900 ITB
That’s probably one of the most balanced sides I’ve seen – love it. Ultimately we’re all unsure about who busts out first with these premium rookies.
Wait for Dusty to nail 150+ in GW1 and we go back to the drawing board 😉
My only criticism might be the lack of a third super premo in the midfield, but i can see why you’ve gone for Cripps, Neale and Rowell instead.
T/U – Ridley Ralphsmith
T/D – Heeney Chapman
Hey everyone, let me know if you any comments on my team below. Really not sure about Heeney. I know he had a good score from the AAMI series game, but not sure he can sustain this every week.
B: Lloyd, Ryan, C Daniel, Whitfield, Chapman, Gibcus (Wanganeen-Milera, De Koning)
M: Macrae, Oliver, Cripps, Caldwell, Coniglio, Horne-Francis, N Daicos, J Ward (Stephens, Goater, N Long)
R: Gawn, Grundy (Hayes)
F: Dunkley, Heeney, Butters, Riccardi, W Brodie, Rachele (Xerri, N Martin)
$32,600 in the bank.
Really great side, Jamie. Excellent structure with strong premo selections. Like the Ryan, Satan and Heeney selections in particular.
Only a few picks askew:
– Daniel: just don’t see him as a Top 6 contender any more with Dale eating his lunch and much more flexibility/volatility in his role. Did 107 late last year as a 1 out stoppage player but that’s probably not sustainable. I’d take him up to Ridley or Short.
– Cripps: personally not a fan, only pick him if you think had can do 105 at a minimum, not worth it otherwise.
– Caldwell: needs a strong CBA load to score, which is doesn’t look he’ll get in H&A. Parish and Zerrett firmly OB, Shiel and McGrath returning. Would be taking Berry over him unless you’re really confident Caldwell is slated for a 3rd MID CBA load.
– Riccardi: interesting midpricer, lots of talent but still a KPP reliant on goals to score. Could pan out just might be more safer scoring streams in McGovern or Xerri.
Best of luck, Jamie.
Cheers Gunboat for the comments.
Agree on Daniel, I was tossing up between Ridley and Daniel but I think I will shift back to Ridley as he was in my initial team.
I havent been a fan of Cripps in the past due to his price but he seems to have done well during pre-season and hoping he can continue his form into the season proper.
From all reports, look like Bombers will play Caldwell in the starting midfield and seems to rack up the possessions so will keep him on and see how he goes. Hoping he can be the difference as I don’t think many coaches have picked him.
Lastly, I really want to squeeze Hewett into the backline but dont think I can and would prefer Ridley over Hewett at this stage.

No thoughts, Jez.
Excellent team.
I’ve flirted with two structures . An English/Steele and a gawn lineup…
TU: Steele English Sinn & McGovern
TD: NLong gawn Hewett & Heeney.
My gut wants TU for Steele to go deeper in the midfield and English to finish forward eventually and get a look at my R2 and get a discount on gawn . But head says TD
Def:
Crisp, Short, Whitfield, Hewett, Hinge, McCartin (Sinn, SDK)
Mid:
Macrae, Oliver, Neale, Rowell, Berry, JHF, Daicos, Ward (Stephens, MacDonald, Hough)
Rucks:
Grundy Gawn (Dixon)
FWD:
Dunkley, Heeney, Butters Cogs McGovern Xerri (Rachele, Martin)
I have gone back and forth on so many different structures and still have no idea if I like this team hahaha
TU- Gawn and Cripps
TD- Brayshaw and Marshall
My TU team is
DEF: crisp short Whitfield chapman hinge McCartin (Sinn de koning)
MID: Macrae Steele Miller Neale Rowell Berry JHF Daicos (ward Stephens MacDonald)
RUCK: Grundy English (Hayes)
FWD: Dunkley butters cogs McGovern xerri rachele (Martin durdin)

My TD team:

MID: Macrae Miller Neale Rowell Berry JHF Daicos ward (Stephens MacDonald long)
RUCK: Grundy gawn (Hayes)
FWD: Dunkley butters cogs heeney xerri rachele (Martin durdin)
Have two teams i like and can’t decide between which one to use. both have <2k left. Mostly playing for league. Think TU has a chance at overall if risks go right.
TU. Midprice Madness
Def: Crisp, ridley, Short, Whitfield, Mcinnerny, Chapman: Mcartin, SDK
MID: Steele, Touk, Neale, Rowell, Berry, JHF, Daicos, Ward : Stephens, Mcdonald, Hough
Rucks: Darcy, English: Hayes
FWDS: Dunkley, Butters, Cogs, Gov, Brodie, Rachelle, Baldwin, Dixon
Plan is to bring in Pruess/Xerri as a correction to swing around 3 playing rucks to cover for injury/Covid. Hopefully a non playing R3 to loop out English's odd Dud Score
TD: Set and Forget Mids
Def: Short, Moore, Mcinnerny, Jones, Mccartin, Gibcus:

@Gunboat diplomacy
@ freo tragic
Any thoughts?
Most people are going with 4 or more top defenders.
You could move/trade out the Toranto spot to that line via SDK DPP.
Lots of people have Sicily. As a cheap/breakout D4. Could use the extra cash to sure up McGuinness to one of the 3 breakout midpricers most have (McGovern, Brodie,Xerri)

34k ITB
Interested to hear some thoughts on this setup.
My thinking behind the English pick is that he might be able to be a top 6 FWD in which case I can swing him forward later in the year. This gives me time to figure out whether I should go with Gawn or Darcy in the end as Luke Jackson might take more ruck time this year and there’s been question marks over Darcy’s body.
Rayner is the other pick which might surprise a few people. Obviously a risk but I think if he can stay injury free then he could potentially punch out some really good scores given his new midfield role. Would’ve loved to have seen him play against the Dogs though. Cam’s role is there, Will Brodie is the alternative but I’m just not sure what his midfield minutes will look like with Fyfe back in the side.

Pretty much dropping Gawn for English gives me Berry and a stronger midfield bench but could lose a lot of points for not having Gawn. Grundy is R1.

Feel like TU is probably the better option, but TD gives me a 4-4-2-2 structure which is super satisfying to look at and feels “safer”. Would love to know your thoughts!
All the best for the upcoming season 🙂
Would love to hear your thoughts on the below team, have sacrificed a premo defender for an extra premo MID at this stage.

Comments appreciated
Can’t help but feel Ryder is going too be out alot longer than the club are letting on after reading the Hayes article today..
Any one rolling the dice on Marshall?
Marshall is a solid pick regardless, under-priced IMHO. I have him alongside Grundy and will look to upgrade him to Darcy when he drops a bit.

Don’t care about the money

I’m worried I’ve gone with too many players between 150-260k, but with the cheap rookies not seeming strong this season maybe it’s what must be done?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I like it!
Unless you’re fully convinced on Witts (and not just owning him because of funds), I’d potentially look at moving him to Gawn/Darcy/Marshall/ROB by downgrading elsewhere.
Heeney to Xerri, Witts to Gawn?

TU: Cripps + Chapman
TD: Brayshaw + Gibcus
At D4
TU – Sicily
TD – Hewett
Sicily, larger ceiling and a chance to finish top 10 for defenders. Worst case, he’s your D6, but a solid D6. However don’t trust his role will be locked, could have a SC friendly role one week and then be could be stuck playing lockdown the next.
Hewett will score well without Walsh, but yet to be seen his role when he returns. Most likely a serviceable D6 and at that price, he’s gonna be stuck there either way.

I’ve paid up for “rookies” to ensure I have enough coverage and money-making cows, at the risk of an extra gun. Ready to be praised or ripped to shreds. Would love some responses either way!

Thanks
As much as I love Clayton, I feel like Ridley and Neale is the safer pick given we can trust Ridley to perform, Neale is underpriced, and there are some Q’s around Sicily…
Thanks for sound advice mate 🙂
If you could only have one of these guys in your starting team, which one would it be?
TU – Steele
TD – Oliver
Steele for mine. However can’t go wrong either way.
Just more chance Clarry puts out an 80-90 score and dips in price (went below 600k twice last season) and with GWS @R5, (who he historically plays poor against) could see it happening sooner than later.
Insightful as always, cheers Abs.

Like I suspected, can’t go wrong.
Comes down to how well you think Rowell and Sicily will do.
Can Sic average 100? Rowell same? Even potentially 105 and be an M8 keeper?
If so lock in those 2 boys.
I did a draft lads & need some help

My anti-Cripps goggles being on tell me that the top option is monumentally better.
Not sold on Cripps. Especially when I think Rowell will have a similar output for 100k cheaper…

Best way to grab cash? Current have rookie F6 (Baldwin) which scares the shit out of me:
T/U – Steele to Brayshaw
T/D – Gawn to English
Yeah, Baldwin definitely not a straight field option, although I really like him as a player.
As to which combo is better, comes down to how you think Brayshaw and English go this season.
Loosely I’d have it as:
Steele 125 v Brayshaw 115 (-10 points)
Gawn 115 v English 100 (-15 points)
What’s tricky is Brayshaw’s breakout could be more/less than 115 and English could go well into the triple digits if solo ruck, although they’ve wanted him as more of a FWD the last two years.
Lotta factors, very tricky.
Sus out how the T.Us and T.Ds shake out then go with your gut.
Cheers. Was set on English but was hoping he’d be solo ruck, so thinking the safety of Gawn is worth it.
I’m sure I’ll tinker a hell of a lot before tomorrows first bounce!

Thanks Coaches!!
Bit stuck with this one lads.
TU: Lloyd D1, Berry M5, Darcy R2, Hewett D5 (10k bank)
TD: Crisp D1, Miller M3, English R2, Gibcus D5 (4k bank)
Wow pretty surprised it’s so one sided with majority siding with downgrading a premo in def and punting on English to cater for the extra mid premo. Is English a solid pick to keep to the rest of the year would love to hear some thoughts on him.
I’ve got English at F2 atm, with Witts in R2.
Thinking is that that swing will be handy from rd1, and English has bulked up and should play no1 ruck with Stef taking a step back and probs getting dropped.
Risk is if Bevo keeps Stef in and just doesn’t give English the time in the middle.
Berry – thumbs up
Or
JHF (+ 60k) thumbs down
Is the latter a must have ?
Can’t fit both.

JMac (85-95) & Rowell (95-100) (180-195)
Hinge (65-70) & Parish (120) (185-190)
Personally I think McInerney is a solid POD, if I was dropping Sicily to someone slightly cheaper, I’d go McInerney over Hewett….. (yep I said it)
Who’s your D4? If it’s Hewett I don’t love option TU as much.
have sicily as D4 with Crisp, Short and Whitfield
Quick one
TU: Dusty, Berry, O’Driscoll
TD: Baldwin, Rowell, Hewett
Current Team
DEF: Lloyd, Short, Whitfield, Hinge, Sinn, McCartin De Koning ‘Hewett/O’Driscoll’
MID: Macrae, Steele, Oliver, Neale, ‘Berry/Rowell’, JHF, Daicos, Ward (Stephens, MacDonald, Hough)
RUC: Gawn, Grundy (Hayes)
FWD: Dunkley, Butters, ‘Dusty/Baldwin’, Cogs, Brodie, Rachele (Martin, Dixon)
Rookies subject to selection in team and on field. I have tried to present the time with my options in ‘ ‘.
Cheers
TPC, think you have to go with Hewett option as fielding 3 rookies down back won’t be achievable most weeks. Unless you like Chapman or Bowey then Hewett is your man
D3
TU – Ridley
or
TD – Whitfield
Already have Lloyd, Crisp and Chapman.
Been reasonably settled on this structure for a week now, so it’s pretty complete, last-minute rookie scramble notwithstanding.
DEF: Crisp, Ridley, Short, McInerney, Bowey, Hinge, McCartin, S.DeKoning
MID: Macrae, Oliver, And.Brayshaw, Neale, Rowell, Daicos, Ward, D.Stephens, C.Stephens, Macdonald, Hough
RUC: Grundy, Witts, S.Hayes
FWD: Dunkley, English, Butters, Coniglio, Xerri, Rachele, Evans, Martin
Not a dollar left in the kitty.
If a few more rookies get named might swap out McInerney and upgrade the ruck. I just think Witts represents so much value and having the ruck/fwd swing of Hayes & English make me feel a bit more secure
Very solid Maaz, just double check you have the right Hayes in as only Jack from the Saints has dpp while Sam from Port is ruck only. I like to set and forget rucks but you have solid back up options and reasoning as to why you haven’t making it a solid option
Yes that’s was a mistype. That is a Hayes of the STK Jack variety.
Tu – treloar
Td- english
below- heeney
heeney
My dilemma exactly. Leaning towards English
TU – Parish
TD – Neale
TU: Gawn + Neale
TD: Darcy + Parish
Latest iteration, keen to hear your thoughts:
DEF: Short, Whitfield, Sicily, Hewett, Sinn, McCartin (O’Driscoll, De Koning)
MID: Steele, Kelly, Neale, Cripps, Rowell, Berry, Brodie, Daicos (JHF, Ward, MacDonald)
RUC: Grundy, Witts (Dixon)
FWD: Dunkley, Treloar, Heeney, Butters, Coniglio, Xerri (Baldwin, Long)
$6200 ITB
Left out Rachele as I’m concerned about how much footy he and the other crow forwards might see, but it was between dropping him, Ward of JHF.
I like the structure but there’s a few too many risky options like Witts, Kelly and Brodie. Each pick is decent in their own right but all together could turn bad pretty early. I think Rachele will go alright and has rock solid js, Xerri out for him would be my suggestion
Alrighty guys, lots of changes to team, what you reckon!?
DEF: Lloyd, Crisp, Short, Daniel, Gibcus, Sinn (O’Droscoll, Gould)
MID: Macrae, Oliver, Jelly, Neale, Rowell, JHF, Daicos, Ward (Stephens, McInnes, MacDonald)
RUCK: Grundy, Witts (Comben)
FWD: Dunkley, Taranto, Cogs, Brodie, Xerri, Rachele (Kelly, De Koning)
Bank: $43,200
Love any feedback/input
Best of luck guys!!!
Pretty decent Adam but reckon you may as well get rid of Gould, Comben and W. Kelly as they likely won’t play. I like the Jelly pick as he is underpriced and with a few extra trades if there’s a year to do it it’s this year. Also with Taranto I think you’ll be able to get him cheaper around round 6-10 due to playing more time up forward, think someone like Butters or Dusty would be better suited due to their basement prices
Hey guys possibly my final iteration would love any final input.
Backs: Dawson, Short, Whitfield, Hewitt, Gibcus, Mccartin (sdk, o’Driscoll)
Mids: McCrae, Miller, Parish, Neale, Rowell, JHF, Daicos, Ward (Stevens, Cmac, Hough)
Rucks: Gawn, Draper/Witts (Dixon)
Fwds: Dunkley, Dusty, Butters, Cogs, Brodie, Rachele (Hayes, Baldwin)
Don’t go easy
Nice team Kev, personally not the biggest fan of the cheap ruck option but makes the rest of the line up look real good
Yeah thanks mate I agree in seasons past I’ve always wanted 2 premo rucks but this year due to uncertainty and lack of solid rookies, I just feel more confident batting a little deeper in my other lines.
T/u: Neale
T/d: Andrew Brayshaw
Cheers.
Good luck to all! Would love some thoughts on my team, rookies are TBC depending on which ones are named but for now this is what I’ve got lined up:
DEF: Crisp, Short, Ridley, Gibcus, McCartin, De Koning (O’Driscoll, Skinner)
MID: Macrae, Steele, Oliver, Merrett, Neale, JHF, N Daicos, J Ward (MacDonald, C. Stephens, B. Hough)
RUCK: Gawn, Grundy (J. Hayes)
FWD: Butters, Tarryn Thomas, Rayner, Coniglio, W. Brodie, Rachele (H. Dixon, Baldwin)
My thoughts are to go heavier in the mids because of pending DPPs, especially in defence which may open up spots for guys like McGrath and Pendles so I don’t want to overcommit to too many premos in DEF and FWD.
The other team combo I’m looking at basically comes down to which of these two options will be better: Rayner, MacDonald and C. Stephens vs. Xerri, Durdin and D. Stephens ?
Thanks in advance!
boys opinions
TU : Tom Mitchell
TD : Petracca
Hey mate, not sure about titch with him missing some of the pre season might be a little undercooked but is still a pig but with a bit of extra risk. Petracca is a gun and is fun to have in your team, was enjoyable last year. Can ou sneak an extra 30k somewhere and get up to an Oliver or Miller? would be a huge upgrade imo
Bit late to the party but team has been done tonight and feeling relatively confident!
Def: Lloyd,Ridley, Short, Sicily, Gibcus, Mccartin (Uwland and Voss)
Mid: Macrae,Miller,Neale, Horne-Francis,Daicos,Ward,Stephens (O’driscoll, Macdonald,Hough)
Ruck:Gawn,Grundy (Hayes)
Fwd: Dunkley, Treloar,Butters,Coniglio,Rachele,De Koning (Martin,Dixon)
Would love to hear any of your feedback have 10k left in the bank!
Long time no see, Tom!
Great team. One of the few 3x MID premo teams going around, but you’ve apportioned that value nicely.
Only things to consider would maybe be switching a FWD premo to a DEF premo or perhaps looking at some MID depth (Rowell, Berry, etc.) in case rookies fall through? Up to you though.
A few rookies there who won’t play but teamsheets will sort that out.
Otherwise, a great side. Can’t fault any premo selections.
Good to see you around again, habib.
Best of luck!
Hey GD, life has been crazy! Ive missed out on making 50 mock teams this year so feeling a bit underdone (a bit titch like).I have gone 4x premos in the mid but realised I missed Oliver on my list above (LOL)
Def rookies are concerning but was trying to get some dpp for flexibility on the cheap.
Also have moved Touk to steele as concerned about gc early run and reckon he could be an early upgrade target
As a reshuffle what are your thoughts on bringing down treloar to a brodie and upgrading Uwland(swing driscoll down back) to a Rowell. Team would now look like this:
Def: Lloyd Ridley Short Sicily Gibcus Mccartin (Odriscoll Voss)
Mid: Macrae Steele Oliver Neale Rowell Horne Francis Daicos Ward (Stephens Macdonald Hough)
Ruck: Gawn Grundy (Hayes)
Fwd: Dunkley Butters Cogs Brodie Rachele De Koning (Martin Dixon)
Def and fwd premos don’t really have me convinced so hesitant to go any other premos then i selected. Ideally id like dusty in the fwd line but not sure where to squeeze him in.
Thanks for the feedback and am curious to see what you think. I hope all is well with you and ill go have a read at your team thread
Yep. That’s a really strong move, Tom.
Rowell looked phenomenal the other week and Brodie will score well as long as he holds.
Tom – very glad to see you mate – you had a few of us worried with your absence … see my post in Join My League thread’s to that effect.
As GD said … nice team effort first up mate – take care, stay safe.
Thanks for the feedback and checking in ,excited to see you in this years head to heads!

Would appreciate thoughts for my last spot ( M4) – both present great value for money, unsure about the longer term impact though with Zorko and Walsh coming in respectively?
Cheers everybody and good luck!!
TU: Witts and Sicily
TD: Gawn and Gibcus
English named the starting ruck.. worth getting excited about? Like FD in his team post I believe he’s the value has a decent potential does alot around the ground and would allow me to look for my final R2 before swing Timmy to the forward line.
It just gives me slight anxiety not starting G&G or Darcy.
Everyone’s thoughts?
TU : English, Tom Stewart & Brodie + $90k
TD : Grundy, chapman & Heeney +$7k
I like the flexibility of English going forward and getting a longer look at my season ending R2. Also like getting chapman off field and getting Stewart.. what Brodie’s go? Is he actually gonna be decent . Thanks
Probably cleared my team 3 or 4 times in the last 24 hours but this is where I’m at
Def: Lloyd, Short, Whitfield, Hewett, Hinge, Gibcus (Sinn, Mccartin)
Mid: Macrae, Steele, Neale, Rowell, J Berry, JHF, N Daicos, Ward (Rachele, Hollands, Hough)
Ruc: Darcy, Grundy (Dixon)
Fwd: Dunkley, Heeney, Butters, Coniglio, Brodie, Xerri (De Koning, Hayes)
Considering Heeney out for Cripps but I was on Cripps last year and it was just miserable.
But actual thing I want an opinion on and I’m sure I know where people will end up but:
TU: Darcy and Sinn
TD: O Mac and Chapman
TU: Ridley & Brodie
TD: Heeney & Chapman
T/U Ridley Gibcus(bench) Xerri(bench) and 50k or
T/D Steele Gibcus(on field)/Driscall bench Martin bench 1k
Thoughts please as will determine overall structure – Thinking T/U as better coverage and room to move – thanks
Bit of a conundrum in my forward line. Interested to see other peoples thoughts.
Cheers
T/U- Heeney
T/D- Treloar
T/U Sicily (90-100ave) & Oliver (125ave) = 225pts
T/D Short (100ave) + Brayshaw (115ave) = 225pts
Last tinkers, as still not sure on running without big Max
T/U – Steele, English, McGovern
T/D – Brayshaw, Gawn, Durdin (on field)
Tu; Steele & Hinge (Chapman d4 & 4 Uber premos deep in the midfield)
Td; Ward & Lloyd (Chapman d5 & 3 Uber premos deep in the midfield)
This is doing my head in:
TU: Parish M3 (Rachele on field)
TD: Dunkley F1 (Ward on field)
whens the captaaincy segment coming out? or is it out cant find it.
Gunboat will have that one published @12pm!
After seeing a few teams on Twitter, in order to maximise bench availability + less rookies on field, the way forward appears to be dropping an uber mid.
Currently running Macrae, Steele, Miller + Neale/Berry/Rowell (Chapman D4).

Final draft of the team, definitely considering downgrading a Treloar or someone to get another premo down backline. Also rookies are destined to change. Thoughts of getting xerri in has also crossed my mind. At the moment going steele over Oliver, could easily be convinced to swap that too! Rip into it let me know what you think!
Def – Lloyd, short, Whitfield, hinge, gibcus, mccartin (SDK, Uwland)
Mid- macrae, steele, touk, neale, berry, JHF, daicos, ward. (MacDonald, Hough, cox)
Ruck – gawndy (Dixon)
Forwards – dunkley, Treloar, butters, cogs, Brodie, rachele (Baldwin, Hayes)
77k in the bank
Gone with 4 premo def instead of an extra in the midfield. Haven’t been able to fit berry/Brodie of xerri. Think English is in for a big year so keen to have him and if pruess competes keen to move him into R2 prior to the byes. Let me know what you think!
Def: Ryan, Ridley, Short, Whitfield, Gibcus, McCartin (Kelly, Uwland)
Mid: MacRae, Oliver, Brayshaw, Neale, Rowell, JHF, Daicos, Ward (O’Driscoll, MacDonald, Hough)

No Macrae, went Clarry cause there’s not much difference and Dogs mids will be fighting for points
No Neale, went Cripps who I expect to score same as Neale
No Berry, went Rowell and potential 80s in Bowey n Chapman down back
All the must have rookies imo are there – bench is expensive so I expect to start slow but be able to upgrade faster than other teams
12 keepers , counting 2 of Cripps, Rowell, Cogs

Thoughts on the final team? Be critical…
Def: Ryan, Short, Whitfield, Sicily, McCartin, De Koning (O Driscoll, Uwland)
Mid: Oliver, Titch, Neale, Crouch, Cripps, Rowell, Horne-Francis, Daicos (Ward, Stephens, Hough)
Ruck: Grundy, Marshall (Hayes)
Fwd: Dunkley, Butters, Gresham, Cogs, Brodie, Rachele (Baldwin, Dixon)
Definitely no Crouch, only start Cripps if you think he can do 105, Gresham didn’t look good physically or in terms of role over the pre-season.
Other than those picks, strong.
Good luck, Tim.
cheers GD
What is your plan if De Koning, O’Driscoll, Uwland all aren’t named?
Good point Jake. I feel confident in SDK getting named in the team, although might need to downgrade the likes of Cripps or Crouch to Berry for $$$ to upgrade to better rookie DEF’s.
Nice one Tim, SDK is in!
Final team (unless last minute changes)… a little light in DEF, a lot of upgrade options in a few weeks with Berry, Brodie etc.
DEF: Short, Whitfield, Sicily, Gibcus, McCartin, Hinge (de Koning, O’Driscoll)
MID: Macrae, Steele, Oliver, Neale, Rowell, Berry, Daicos, Ward (Stephens, MacDonald, Hough)
RCK: Gawn, Grundy (Dixon)
FWD: Dunkley, Heeney, Butters, Coniglio, Brodie, Rachele (Baldwin, Hayes)
$$$ = $27,600
Very nice, Adrian. Great side.
Just need DEF rookies to come through and you’re set.
Slightly concerned I won’t have anyone to C loophole… May have all rookies playing
Solid side- looks good.
Understand you saying lighter down back- but you have 3 premium mids.
That’s one of the choices this year- extra mid or bolster down back. I’m one less premium mid- but it’ll comedown to defensive rookies- certainly don’t have many choices down back.
Good side- should go well!
Of the BIG 4 in the midfield, I am seeing Oliver be the one left out of most teams. In my personal opinion, I have them ranked: Macrae, Oliver, Miller/Steele.
Why is it Oliver we are leaving out?
I mentioned above, Oliver dipped below 600k on two seperate occasions.
Has the occasional 80-90 and doesn’t score well against GSW who he plays round 5.
Dees have the hardest fixture this season, can we also potentially see a Premiership Hangover?
Not to say he’s a bad option, he’s still young and has a lot to offer. Just between Macrae / Steele / Touk / Oliver, he’s dipped to 4th place for some.
They’re all guns tho, can’t go wrong whatever combo you go.
Abs, thank you very much for the response and analysis. I have always been a big Oliver follower and it is currently either him or Steele for me. I appreciate your input.
