    FLEX: Windsor

    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

  4. DEF: sinclair Rozee McKerch Blakiston Grlj Jacques (serong Lindsay)

    MID: Butters Naicos Richards Walsh Young Parish Bruhn Jagga ( duursma sharp Blamires)

    RUCK: English McAndrew (ZZ)

    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.

  5. 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)

    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

  6. 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?

  11. Just reposting what I put in the previous RMT article last night, considering this one came out just after haha

    DEF – NAS, Rozee, Zorko, Windsor, Serong, Jaques (Lindsay, Derksen)
    MID – Butters, Daicos, Dawson, W Ashcroft, Young, Bruhn, Grlj, Smith (Sharp, Carroll, Blamires)
    RUC – Gawn, English (Reidy)
    FWD – Sheezel, Petracca, Flanders, Phillipou, Marshall, Robertson (Dovaston, Lombard
    FLEX – McAndrew

    ITB – $21,700

    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.

    McAndrew is a solid lock in the flex position

      • Yes. I was focussing heavily on non bye players. Early on, with a few exceptions – Gulden and Naicos, Whitfield, one of Sinclair and Nas but not both.

        But the fact of the matter is you can’t ignore the injuries and preseason performance.

        I never thought I’d be putting Budarick in. Bruhn I dabbled with last year before his erm incidents. And then there’s Sellwood. Jaques and Serong were already there and suddenly most of my defence has a bye.

        Still, it’s balanced right through the rnd 16 bye so can’t complain.

  14. Currently running with this team:

    Def: Sinclair, Rozee, Mckercher, Blakiston, Lindsay, Serong (Jaques, Derksen)
    Mid: Bont, Butters, Daicos, Trac, Young, Parish, Grlj, Jagga (Sharp, Carroll, Blamires)
    Ruck: Xerri and English (Reidy)
    Fwd: Sheezel, Pickett, Flanders, Pou, Marshall, Robertson (Dovaston, Lombard)
    Flex: Mcandrew
    30.1k itb

    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.

    • for me the flex position is just another player. only difference is they don’t have an emergency in case they don’t play or want to loop them (make sure your flex is 100% going to play).

      • But if u name a ruck u can swap them out. See what I mean. In a way mcandrew be cover if xerri can’t play. I know a lot of people feel like u. But remember top 22 scores of 23. So if u have a rookie or even player get no u pick up the 140 if u want use a mid it’s up to u. I feel thus team I select might get me of to a great start and u can. Put the c on the flexi

    • you are missing a Flex

      i didn’t see Josh Daicos get any midfield time, if he is playing in defence he won’t improve much on last year. round 1 they played Saint Kilda who always allow defenders to rack them up.

    Not sure if i should downgrade Coleman and either bruhn or young to go a rookie and another gun. Or leave it and get some cash from the 3 and give the rookies a couple of ganes to see if any worth it.

    I am happy with gawn and English. Not sure the 2 Ruck teams is really going to work so I can pick these 2 and barring injurynjust forget about them.

    Not sold on lachie neale fully but less ownership then gulden

  21. Has anybody done the work on which teams play the most games on Sunday so I have a C loophole player, notice a lot of teams seem to be going for a full playing squad, or am I missing something. I like to have one $99K player on the bench who will never get a game.

  26. Ive basically rejigged my whole structure because it just feels like there are too many decent backline/mid rookie and mid price options that i think will make cash/score well

    Is this too risky?

    Def: NWM, Rozee, Blakiston, Grlj, J Lindsay, Jacques (Farrow, Serong)

    Mid: Butters, Daicos, E Richards, Gulden, Young, Parish, Bruhn, J smith (Sharp, Carrol, Blamires)

    Ruck: TDK or Jackson, McAndrew, (White as non playing loophole)

    Fwd: Petracca, Sheezel, Flanders, Budarick, Phillipou, D Robertson (T Marshall, Lombard)

    Flex: Kossie Pickett

    That leaves me with $336k left with TDK or $249k with Jackson

    Main concerns are am I going too thin in backline? Is Bruhn a trap? Is farrow to exxy to have on bench?are there better mid rookie options than Carroll and am I silly avoiding all the big name rucks?

    • I’d say main risk is no back up ruckman with McAndrew at R2. I’m hoping there’s at least one cheap ruck option for R3 on selection night. Also remember Blakiston is a short term option, Bryan will take over as first ruck when he returns. Windsor could be better at cheaper price

    • Solid team, I’m running McAndrew R2 also but I’m looking for coverage at R3 so running a loophole slightly risky. Pending selection I have CCJ at R3 but Reidy could be it. Doesn’t look like he’ll score great but it’s some cover.

      ROB lacks class but he’s the ultimate competitor, he’ll fight hard for his spot back
