77k in the bank I know I'll be struggling with the Sydney/Collingwood bye but a) I can't think of any other options and b) I'm hoping having them in helps me in other weeks. I've also got Green, Sexton, Rowell and Flanders! I've gone with what a lot of other players have picked especially for...

Who is Henry?

I read on a fantasy website's profile about English that it's better to pick an injury prone player from the beginning than trade for them. Picking them from the start means you burn one trade not two and imagine Yeo will increase in price early meaning you can quickly trade to someone easily...

I've got Ginbey, Weddle I'm backs, Ashcroft, Mackenzie and Philips in midfield and Sheezel, Pedlar and Drury up forward. Too much? I don't know how else to get to 14 premiums.

In terms of the actual league and players and arguments about youth and the future? No. In terms of main board arguments? No. But for AFL fantasy? Yes. Why would you pick any of these players? For the same reason you're picking first year players: because you think they'll make money. The fact...

A. I'd argue that most players below the age of 20 are rookies in the sense that they're still young to the game. I'm regards to this game, any player sub 300k IMO.

I'm starting to feel like English isn't the certainty I presumed him to be. I'm also wary he jumps in price significantly more than Grundy. English is priced at 101.8. I think the max he can score is say 105. That's a jump of 3 points. Grundy is priced at 93.8. I think the max he can score is...

Zevon Shadow89 My concern with Greene is the reason why he gets shifted out of the midfield is because he doesn't have the tank to play full-time midfield. I worry he's slightly behind LDU in his ability to spread for four quarters. As I've said before I think sometimes posters just move...

LDU had more 100+ scores in 2022 than Green has had in his whole career. I think midfielders will find it hard to make a jump from say 85 to 105 given the changes in style of play with teams recognising the high possession game doesn't work in finals. Will the giants move to a more direct style...

So LDU will face: West Coast who I reckon need to get the ball in Yeo's hands Fremantle didn't last year Hawthorn maybe a Finn or Maguinness Carlton, they'll need Hewett in the midfield getting ball Brisbane maybe Berry although with their midfield I don't think they'll need to and won't...

I'd be tagging Simpkin before LDU as I think his impact per possession is higher. I'm also not convinced tagging LDU will be overly effective. I think he's in the mould of Cripps and Oliver where he will be there for the stoppages, tackles etc. I think he's building, only 23 years old, hasn't...

I know a lot of posters have ridiculed this idea, but I'll explain why it doesn't work. 1. The problem with teams like a Western Melbourne is where exactly west is. Is it south-west like say Werribee? Is it west-west like Sunshine? North-west like Essendon and beyond? I think one thing people...

I don't hate the traders, in fact I've never listened to their podcast which might be good. But their articles are disappointing and feel like they could have been produced by a smart bigfooty poster with an hour or two. I want something similar to what Bill Barnwell does on ESPN where he writes...

I dunno if we need to worry about having too many rookies. I know the substitute still exists but I reckon it'll be used for fringe players, tactical switches, lesser rookies, injuries and for players working their way back from injury. If you're starting guys like Ginbey, Mackenzie, Sheezel...

Yeah I mean I feel like you need Mackenzie anyway. He's a high draft pick and whilst he may be an expensive rookie, he will IMO average well over 30 points of where he's priced. And he will probably play any game he's available. Hawks need to blood the kids.

McKenna v Yeo Miller v LDU Philipou/Humphries v McLean I used to have Miller but I've downgraded my captain to Dunkley.

I really like right until... you get to Salem. I like the pick but thyroid issues are worrying me. Cameron is also battling issues but not so severe. I'd be curious to know if Salem had to deal with this in the past especially 2021 when he scored pretty well. Right I would love if you...

Is it half saints players? I'm only half joking; they have seven Jacks right now.

Exambolor A really interesting side. Ridley is a massive POD. Only 0.74% of players own him currently. That's less than Dylan Grimes who is only slightly more relevant to fantasy football than me. My problem with Essendon players is it seems like they're still figuring out who does what meaning...

Problem is if it's not Rozee/Butters who is it? Taranto suffers from similar, not the same but similar questions over role Moore I don't know if he plays more forward or midifeld And then you have Heeney, Smith, Langford, Gresham, Cameron... not great choices. Gulden is a risk of sticking...

I think Daicos has a high % percentage for a few reasons: - Everyone knows his story. If Young walked down the Melbourne CBD hardly anyone would recognise him. Daicos is a pie and the pies made finals so fans know him. - He's a rookie who bloomed really quickly and people assume he'll just...

Same, I've got Brayshaw, Young, Salem, McKenna, Ginbey and Weddle. I think it's a good mix, Wilmont and Fahey on the bench although I'm worried Fahey won't get games so I'm flexible about him. FYI if you're trying to find Monty, his name is Mongomerie, no T.

Longevity shouldn't be a factor though. He played in a mostly amateur era where he would have had a day job, and his career-ending injury wouldn't be one I'm today's game. It's why longevity can't be compared in amateur and professional eras. It's not fair to judge him given science wasn't what...

Firstly how do you have three defensive rookies? If you're going to spend it anywhere, upgrade some rookies. I'm not sure Gould, Dean, or Tsitas get games. I'm not sure Johnson will either but he's probably more likely than the other three. Wardlaw may not play round 1 fyi. I'd downgrade to...

Jai Culley's hairstyle should be outlawed.

Merrett could be a real POD as hes only owned by 7.25% of coaches. Just an FYI, I haven't seen much news about Tsitas playing. At the least I'd consider playing Drury early on as I reckon he'll play early as he's had a good preseason and they need to play the kids.

I have Young. He has bye I like and I reckon his scoring easily takes a jump into the mid 90s.

This is why I think Petracca now as a midfielder makes sense. I'm not waiting for him to get forward status as a) he will probably play in the guts and b) even when he gets forward status he won't be cheap because of a).

Does it have to be Steele? Let's say it's whoever you're missing out of say Touk, Smith, Macrae and Young I like. Docherty I'm not sure bounces. As for the 700k cheapies, to me it's pot luck who jumps.

Thanks. I thought we all snaffled a bargain. Luckily I've got 60k to splash to try and upgrade to Philips.
