Preseason team v2
Laird, Hibberd, McGrath, Brayshaw, O’Shea, Keeffe (Doedee, Goddard)
Danger, Martin, Titch, Fyfe, Pendles, Cripps, Davies-Uniacke, Ahern (Wigg, Freeman, Kelly)
Gawn, NicNat (King)
Heeney, Billings, Christensen, Ah Chee, Higgins, Dawson (Venables, Rioli)
~5k leftover
Currently going with a stacked midfield and am taking my mid-priced risks in my backline and forward line.
All 4 mid-pricers are subject to change just like my mids between positions 3-6. I've been strongly considering Kelly, Oliver, Rocky & Coniglio.
In each position I've pretty much locked in 2 players (Laird & Hibberd / Danger & Dusty / Gawn & NicNat / Heeney & Billings)

Like it a lot.
Maybe because it's very similar to what I've got right now haha!
Of you're 13 keepers I have 10.
Heeney - Hurley
Treloar - Oliver
Kruezer - Sauce
I've gone with McGrath instead of Christensen also.
You've also got more cash and an extra expensive rookie on me.
9/10.
Only possible improvements would be to make it my team, but don't do that. I don't wanna split the 50k

Yeah don't like Christensen but dat midfield...
Here2tellyouwhy

Christensen at F3 does worry me a tad, F4 is fine I think. Doubt I will role with that many expensive rookies so one of those along with something like Hurley -> Simmo and Oliver -> Beams will free up an upgrade to premo. Happy to lock in a value FWD line for now.

Not worth the extra mid and 3 high priced backs, you are exposing an extra rookie fwd and back!
2 extra unpredictable and at times rubbish scores on field for the first 6 weeks at least!

There's no guarantee that mid rookies are going to outscore rookies on other lines.
IIRC last year the best scoring rookies were mostly defenders. Blokes like Witherden, Newman, Ryan, McGrath, Stewart, Berry, etc.
Even Greenwood was a forward with DPP.

This is true but it opens up more risk needing to field 3 decent scoring rookies on 2 lines
instead of mitigating the risk by having 2 per line, dpp can help but you weaken a line to help another.
It might be fine but spreading the load/risk is a safer option.

We're gonna have to wait and see what we get anyways.
There could stuff all playing round one, or there might be a stack all on the one line.
One bloke I went to school with started 1/0/7 in the forwardline the year Swan was a forward and came top 500. I laughed at him at the time but it worked that year.
Love the midfield
Forward line could be a bit risky but could pay off

That clip basically depicts the emotions behind the entire pre-season selection process, right up until the round 1 lockout.
Except I’m actually under covers saying it..

Interesting ! .......hadn't considered Wells, but with Lobb a ???? ......i could swap Lobb for Wells as my F4 ?
The other interesting Patrick Wilson ....the Crows mature inside Rookie Mid ......will definitely be on my watch list, but not in my R1 side

Love your Midfield .......but ATM it appears there's probably more mid rookies to choose from that Forwards & Defenders ....that may change, but myself, i'll bat deeper to F4 & D4 before the rookies ....and having 3 mid rookies

But ATM there appears to be more mid Rookie options than last year ?

Besides LDU, I'd be a lot more confident picking the likes of Setterfield, Higgins, Ahern, Murray, Doedee and which ever WC forward gets the nod for round 1 ahead of the likes of Nathan Freeman who's been a preseason lock for the last 35 years and a mature aged rookie trying to break into the Geelong midfield.
I reckon Will Brodie will be a decent mid cash cow aswell.
O’Brien down back should play a bit aswell. Can run all day.
