First crack:

McKercher, Bergman, Newman
Coleman, Z. Uwland, Jai Serong (X. Taylor, Carmichael)

Merrett, Butters, Steele, C. Serong
Parish, H. Langford, Annable, Jagga Smith (Duursma, Sharp)

English, Xerri (Duff-Tytler)

Sheezel, Sam Draper, Flanders
Phillipou, Budarick, Robertson (Sid Draper, Robey)

(Dalton)

5 rookie-priced players on field including Robertson. 11 of the 22 have an early bye which isn't ideal but it's tough to find alternatives, particularly in the forward line.

A lot of money sitting on the bench in Duursma (who is not a high possession winner) and Duff-Tytler (who is similar).
If Serong is to get a game at the Swans, it wll be as a lock down defender so will most likely score in the 30s.
My other issue with your side is that as good as Uwland and Annable are, how do they squeeze themselves into these star studded teams.
 
Early team with far too many round 12 byes!
Def: Rozee, Ash, Newman, Grlj, Uwland, Lindsay. (Ramm, Blakiston if rucking)
Mid: Dawson, Butters, Curtin, Langford, Culley, Brodie, Cox, Duursma. (Sharp, Farrow)
Ruck: Xerri, Draper. (Vigo Visentini)
Fwd. Sheezel, Petracca, $750k vacancy, Flanders, Sanders, Sid Draper,. (Robertson, White)
Utility: Jagga

Addendum, I have taken Ramm out and put The Kerch in!

Yeah I saw other people say him as well. Good call.

Average of 78.5 and went 94.5 after the bye.
Where will he be playing though?

He got the uptick because he went to half back. At some stage they gotta put him in the midfield you'd think, and I dunno how he will go scoring wise as a full time mid.

Cheers for that, rookies are place-holders at this stage and I've popped the higher-priced ones in because it's easier to go down to the cheaper rookies than up. Interesting re J. Serong, might go Gibcus or another DEF rookie instead if he's playing lockdown.

I reckon Uwland and Annable will play and score well (despite being in stacked midfields), just my gut feel.

I think Duurs and CDT play round 1 for them and history would say it's the right thing to get all the top picks who are playing round 1. CDT means a playing R3 too.
Uwland - suns traded out a lot of depth and actually are pretty shallow so I think there's a spot for him.

Annabel- was killing it in VFL and would've played in the AFL finals if he were eligible. He'll be there round 1. He's better than at least Marshall and Reville from the GF team.

I wonder if your captain shits the bed and slips over doing an ankle in the process on under 50% TOG and gets replaced do we get VC or sub C or SFA4C or some other ... Loopy loopy doopy or hard luck suck eggs. Place your bets.
Its VC if they dont also die and score less

I have such skills that my C, VC and sub will all be injured and score 5....

When do we think the first instance of somebody playing 50% or 51% percent TOG and not being eligible is going to occur?
I'll keep track of the TOG and watch it diminish as the game goes on.
Player X plays entire first half = 100% TOG.
Injured at half time.

I'll then streak onto the ground, thus ensuring the second half goes longer than the first half and knocks player below the 50% threshold.

We will have a team of dedicated streakers at each game ready to pounce.
Text requests by 3/4 time to 0405 FANTASY.

Small fee of $10,000
The money will need to be in my account before the streaker is activated.

This small sum covers our fine, plus a little extra to help with the hiring of a new streaker after the AFL ground ban.

Positions currently open for the following grounds.
SCG
GMHBA
UTAS
TIO

(Clothing optional but we do request a reasonable level of fitness to ensure sufficient time wasting)

You put too much time into that mate, RUOK? ;) 🤣

Probably pretty early into the year

But people will whinge regardless of what the threshold is.

I like the rule. Eliminates the week (or season) killing scores when a players injured on 0 or not much. Way i see it if my player plays half a game and cant score semi decently hes just a bad pick, not bad luck
