I'd be keen to go again this year, thanks! Team: Footscray Eucalypts

Did I hear correctly on one of the podcasts - that if you've left an open spot in your team as Game 1 starts, then it'll get auto-filled with Blues/Tigers players? If so, we'll need to be careful with all the last-minute tinkering - especially with the Yeo and Roma panicking

I'm not sure that Gulden to Green is actually an upgrade, especially if you're thinking season-long. If you were keen on Green, I'd be more inclined to bundle Day and Flanders (or McLean if you have money in the bank) into Green and a rookie.

Admittedly it would leave the forward line a bit dire. But if you were "sensible", and faded Steele to keep Mackenzie at M8, you could do this while also keeping Doch, Roma and Dunk:

Ah, good point! How easy is that!

I've basically been cycling through every permutation of M1-M4 with Laird, Bray, Steele, Baz, Bont, LDU and Green. They all have their pros and cons considering captain option, role certainty, role changes, early matchups, ceilings etc. I'm liking Bray the most of those options - maybe he gets...

Yep it was Jaiden Popowski, I think on Hat Chat

Laird & Green vs Steele & LDU ... once you see Laird in your side it's really hard to take him out again!

Baz for me too. Though it's more due just to personal preference. If I choose Baz and it doesn't work out, I can live with that. But if I go Macrae instead and it turns out that last year's output is just where he's at these days, then I'll be kicking myself. Also I feel like it's an easier...

I've done the Cameron -> English -> Lycett -> Cameron merry go round. And here's where I've ended up for now: Fading Daicos could blow up in my face. Though it's unlikely he'll explode to the extent that he gets completely out of reach early (touch wood). Happy for now to roll with Young and...

Yeah I'm interested in Cameron again too. I saw a Twitter thread showing Cox didn't actually affect his scoring too much last year when they went dual rucks. But if downgrading to Lycett was the only way of getting Doch, I think I'd suck it up and do that. Guess I'm also not particularly high on...

In scenarios like this, it's almost always about taking the better premo. I'd easily take Doch over Angus, and settle for Lycett instead of Cameron. And Dunks instead of Cogs seems like a no brainer - Hunt vs Worpel could be a wash. The lower end of the pair are the ones you'll be looking to...

I like the left side, with personal preference of Baz over Macrae. I think English over Cameron makes it a clear win, based on the word that Cox is still in the ruck mix at the Pies. Still don't trust Worpel yet though - would be worth having a backup plan for him

Excellent news about the change in how trades work this year - so now the traded-in and traded-out players aren't both locked once one of their games starts. You can change either side of the trade up until that specific player's game starts (if I've understood the Traders correctly)

Yeah he bumped Chandler up the rankings cos apparently he tore up the VFL finals, and also being priced at $200k - despite having questionable JS (I know, this seems to contradict the order of his criteria) Van Rooyen he bumped down for being a KPF (although I had the impression he was more a...
