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?
Not worried about NAS, he copped the Perryman tag. The third defender premo was gonna be out of Zorko and Clark, and the first looked too impressive to pass on after last night’s game. Windsor looks the better D4 option ahead of both Coleman and Blakiston, I think he’s got a permanent midfield role that will suit his game style. Derksen is a wait and see to find out if he gets called up against the Tigers, if not I’ll probably put someone else in his place
First five mids haven’t changed since the first side I made up. Keeping my faith in Ashcroft, his only let down scoring wise was his efficiency, I don’t think he’ll be doing that every week. Bruhn’s done enough to trust him at least to be a good cash cow. Got Grlj at M7 so I’ve got at least one player I can use for a DPP switch when needed. Did have Jones on the bench until his injury.
Gawn and English seem like the two rucks that suit the new ruck rules best, so I’m going with them.
Most of my forward line hasn’t changed since the first side I made, most of the guys who played this week were impressive. Only difference since I believe is Dovaston being in.
Any feedback is welcome! I’m unsure of Sinclair or Nas but currently leaning Sinclair. If Derksen isn’t selected next week he can be changed with the money itb.
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)

44k in the bank
How many is too many?

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.

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)

Has runs on the board but also has an injury history.
Can’t fit him in with early bye structure but worth considering.
spent alot of time forward, i think GWS will run the young fellas through the guts
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.

Which rookies have I missed or should I NOT have?
Is it worth droping ZZ for White to turn Marshall into Philipou?
Yes. ZZ job security is probably shaky and Phillipou can do better than his 66 this week.
Just reposting what I put in the previous RMT article last night, considering this one came out just after haha
