Greene was OK in the context of the flow of the game (imo). Have him, too, currently plan to persevere with the most punchable head in football, GWS should win more than they lose and score well across the year.
So after all that preseason planning round one is finally behind us and I'm happy with how it went. Scored 2,280 which alleviates the urge to rage trade early.
A quick review of my team.. It's probably more mid priced than guns and rookies. Wasn't too confident with rookies this year compared to previous seasons so I'm backing in my mid priced players to score well and generate cash until the byes.
Def rookies were the most appealing of the lines this year so I backed in Laird as my lone premo and he was huge. Wasn't keen on Shaw and Docherty at their price but they're definite targets. Lloyd and Touhy were slightly underpriced and should be keepers. Marchbank had a strong JLT, delivered in the proper and will only get better. The real rookies didn't do too well, especially Hibberd, but it's only round one. Did consider Adams in place of Laird but he's injury history kept me away and I doubt I'll look to bring him.
In the middle Danger showed why he's worth $700k, but the other studs pretty much scored their average which is what I want from them. Steele would normally be in my forward line but I took Butler's score using DC as a floating loophole. Steele continued he's good JLT form and was the top scorer for the Saints. Beams and O'Meara made decent returns and the other rookies are pretty standard and don't require comment. Wanted JPK over Mitchell but didn't have the cash so hoping he finds his way in during the byes.
My rucks were selected for cash generation and decent points. Both are giants who will benefit from the new HTA scoring. Took Cameron despite him not being named. He's my forward link and should get games. Don't need Strnadica as I've got Deluca-Cardillo. Target is obviously Gawn.
Running a big forward line this year as there's so much mid priced goodness. Nank delivered after the hype and Rough was okay. Steele is normally parked alongside them but DC took his place so I could take Butler's score. Collectively the three premos in Dahl, Macrae and Buddy did their job. On the pine was Eddy who was destined to struggle against the Swans. Did consider starting with JJK so missed out there but he's a target when he inevitably scores a sub 50. That being said Greene was in my team until Thursday. Also, the first bye round has me a bit nervous about my forward line but it always seems to work out.
No trades this week but a few of my rookies are on notice.

So he can welch again?I might have to take him down again
They had 9 games and 4 days to fix it so I don't like their chances. Like someone pointed out it makes the c loophole more difficult as you can't have consecutive games because you might lose 10 or gain 40. So now you have to make them a day apart.

Certainly will contemplate Simpkin to WHE .....one more game for Simpkin to change my mind
Anyone can fluke a round
Season is a marathon not a sprint.
Looking at that photo , many with same scores or close to it. Everyone pretty much has similar teams. We will get a better judgement this week.
Yeah nah. Francis is one of the goodest of good people. We've a lot to fight about, you and I.
