Couple thoughts; flipping between LDU + Budarick vs Pickett + Parish. Considering McAndrew -> Flex, Windsor -> Def then finding a downgrade/upgrade pairing to beef up the forward line. Team hasn’t changed heaps in the past few weeks and some nicher selections have become very popular unfortunately
FWD: sheez tracc Flanders JDG Pou Lombard (Robertson Marshall)
FLEX: Budarick
Next year MUST be a rolling lockout for opening round. To many POD gems exposed round 0 and people bailed out of popular picks that didnt fire and now pivoted and teams are starting to become very similar… just my opinion haha
Think im pretty settled on my DEF, RUCK. FWD & FLEX. For the MIDS i am considering fading Ed who ive owned for 90% of the pre season for a brayshaw, bye free and nice run. Not completely sold on Naicos either would prefer to chase some value but you just know he’s a top 4 mid and will need him.. dont think i have it in me to fade both bont and nick.
I have also flirted with a structure of Visentini & McAndrew R1&R2. May post that team below.
FWD: Sheezel, Trac, Flanders, De Goey, Budarick, Lombard (Marshall, Robertson)
FLEX: Jackson (either move him to R2 later in season or bring in Gawn/Grundy/Xerri at R2 depending on form)
6.5k ITB.
Main toss ups right now are:
1) swapping Clark for Sinclair (but would need 60k to do it – likely via JDG or Budarick -> Phillipou)
2) Jackson new role on scoring potential – I am not sold but mostly have him in at flex to give me flexibility on R2 spot and wait out the new rule changes before committing to a R2 later in the season
3) Fading Daicos (noting his early bye) – yes or no? Tempted by C Serong.
4) Connor Budarick – yes or no? Nervous about him getting Bevo’d
Anyone considering Coniglio at his cheap price with Green out and after his big opening round score? Seems like he has a decent role for the time being and could make a lot of cash?
DEF: Sinclair, Rozee, Mckercher, Windsor, Grlj, Jacques ( J. Serong, Lindsay)
MID: Butters, Naicos, Gulden, Walsh, H.Young, Bruhn, Sharp, Jagga (Carrol, Macrae, Blamires)
RUCK: Jackson, English (White)
FWD: Sheezel, Petracca, Flanders, Reid, Phillipou, Dovaston ( Lombard, D.Robertson)
FLEX: McAndrew
44k in the bank
How many is too many?
Defence: Sinclair, Rozee, Blakiston, Windsor, Grij and Serong (Jacques, Lindsey)
Mid: Bont, Butters, Naicos, Young, Parish, De Goey, Bruhn and Smith (Farrow, Sharp, Carroll)
Ruck: English and Grundy (Reidy)
Fwd: Sheezel, Trac, Flanders, Budurick, Philippou and Lombard (Marshall, Robertson)
Flex: McAndrew
I’d go DeGoey to Cogs I reckon.
DEF: Sinclair, Rozee, Roberts, Mckercher, Grlj, Serong (Jaques, Lindsay)
MID: Butters, Dawson, Gulden, Walsh, LDU, Bruhn, Sharp, Smith (Macrae, Carrol,. Blamires)
RUCK: Gawn, English (McAndrew)
FWD: Sheezel, Flanders, Budarick, Philippou, Marshall, Robertson (Lombard, Reidy)
FLEX: Windsor

Completely agree, feels like all of my opening round PODs are now in the mainstream.
Keen for everyone’s thoughts on my draft side:
DEF: Rooze, Clark, Windsor, Grlj, J Serong, Jaques (Farrow, Lindsay)
MID: Butters, Daicos, Dawson, Gulden, Young, Parish, Bruhn, Smith (Sharp, Brodie, Carroll)
RUC: English, McAndrew (Reidy)
FWD: Sheezel, Trac, Flanders, De Goey, Budarick, Lombard (Marshall, Robertson)
FLEX: Jackson (either move him to R2 later in season or bring in Gawn/Grundy/Xerri at R2 depending on form)

Has runs on the board but also has an injury history.
Can’t fit him in with early bye structure but worth considering.
Hey boys, let me know what you think
DEF NWM Rozee McCarthy Windsor Gibcus J.Serong (Lindsay Carmichael)
MID Bontempelli Butters Gulden Oliver Young Bruhn Grlj J.Smith (Brodie F.Macrae Retschko)
RUC English Mcandrew (Reidy)
FWD Sheezel Petracca Flanders Budarick Phillipou Robertson (Lombard W.Darcy)
Flex is Daicos 43k spare, any concerns?
Nice team wouldn’t go any where near oliver his supercoach days are over
Swapped for Walsh straight after posting this anyways
TU Gulden
TD Serong
The player without a early bye.
With bye rds all u need iz top 18 gets scores. And remember is top 22 high scores so u can have a 23 like a high score mid ruck for the flexi
This is my Team.
Def. C rozee. C Salem. J serong. K Coleman. J sicily. L Jacques. Bench z uwland. J Lindsey.
Mids. Bont. Nick daicos. Butters. D parish. T bruhn. W duursma. S grlj. J smith. Bench w brodie. J Carroll. T blamires.
Rucks. L Jackson. T English. Bench l mcandrew.
Fwds. C petracca. K picket. S Flanders. S Lalor. L lombard. F Macrea. Bench l reidy. D Robertson.
Flexi t xerri.
So what do u guy think. Gone with 3 high scoring rucks plus xerri can be captian
Can only really fit one at this stage.
