Gray averaged 91 with poor groins ......his previous 2 seasons were IIRC around the 108 ave
previous 3 he was 108, 110 and 111 but different role. if the groin hampered his ability then this may have explained his move to the fwd line. but as mentioned earlier by another poster he has trained with the fwds all preseason again

Feedback appreciated.

Worried Murphy wont play wich leaves me short to upgrade to Cole who has better JS but I feel pretty set on these premos now, until Danger gets named.......was rolling with a 3 premo fwd line but the rookie option there are shithouse so I decided to take the punt on Devon.

Think you'll find Port would have been careful with Grays PS loads ......i don't expect there to be a different role to 2016 - 2014

Chad Wingard the other night on ADEL radio, said he'll be a permanent fwd this season, due to an a PS, where he did his hammy 3 times .....with Rocky going fwd in stints, i expect Gray to play midfield for periods, which he didn't do much of last year ?

Yeo to Gov
Murphy to Coffield
 
I would swap Sicily to the Fwds for Christensen and put Bonner in. With Pittard out for 5 weeks Bonner will cement his spot in the team. Christensen was not impressive in the JLT, most players who have a season off start pretty slow for the first few rounds.

Thanks! Can't believe I didn't think of this myself. I was keen on most of the preseason and he somehow slipped out of my team.
 
I don't get the love for Robbie Gray. Surely he's an upgrade target as opposed to a starter? He misses two of the first ten rounds. After round 10, that should give people a big enough sample of what/ where he is going to play this year. Have I missed something here?

Think you can take it as definite .....Murphy is not playing this week ...the two Crows debutante's have been named

Oh most definitely # 2 upgrade target, behind #1 upgrade target Dangerfield

Tbh until I brought him up today I hadn't seen much about him and couldn't see much love. I think an upgrade target is the more reasonable approach with him, definitely fair.

Personally I'm looking at him as a POD given Billings, Petracca and Devon have garnered such a huge following without having the history to back it up. My reasons are that I think he's top 10 ppg, he has potential as a mid/fwd but without dpp, he'll have more freedom with motlop and watts in the side which hopefully means more time on the ball if the fwd line is deeper, hopefully over injuries, and will have low %picked.

Further to this, and in particular reference to my own side, the back rookies look better than the fwds, which means that i can play sicily fwd in rd 1 and hopefully not drop too many pts in the backline with only 2 premos. once gray comes back i have the choice of moving sicily back, or keeping him in the fwd line if the back rookies do okay.
 
Smash it gents !!!

I really like it mate, super balanced. Going 4 deep up forward and down back is a luxury. Wish I had the gonads to start Nicnat in the ruck.

DEFENCE 3-0-5
All preseason I have gone with 4 keepers down back and 3 up forward in the hopes enough forward rookies would pop up, but no. We likely don't have even a single rookie priced below 150k in the forward line with half decent job security.
Because of that, I've been forced into 3-0-5.
It was either Gov, Howe or Burton for D3 and I ended up with Gov as he's surprisingly quite consistent and there should be a lot of ball headed his way this year. D4 is between Naughton/Coffield, but with Adams and Morris going down, Naughton has just that little better job security. No idea who to go out of Keefe/Mihocek/Murphy for that last rookie spot. Any recommendations would be appreciated.

MIDFIELD 5-1-5
Not taking the risk with Danger. I've been looking for a reason not to start him, and I got it.
Dusty, Titch, Zorko and Fyfe are locks to go 110, and Parker for me is more likely to go 110 than Cripps and Shuey. His ceiling isn't as high, but he's had a preseason and I'm backing him in to get back to his best.
I've downgraded Coniglio to O'Meara so i can start the season with 100k in the kitty for rookie (read Danger) corrections.

RUCK 2-1
No need to comment on Gawn.
It's between Martin, Goldy, Nank and Nicnat for that second ruck position and I've gone with Martin on the assumption Archie Smith won't play.

FORWARDS 3-1-4
****ing nightmare of a line. Can't be arsed picking break out options for F1-3, I need stars that are going to start and finish in the top 6 assuming all goes well with their fitness, and these three to me represent the best chance at high level consistency.
I just changed Devon Smith to Sicily for flexibility. I wish I could squeeze Rayner in there, but it wouldn't be leaving me any room for rookie corrections.

Please, rip into it. I'd love to hear anyones opinion.
 
How do you think the Dees will go this year? You've already got 4 Dees keepers, and that's not including the Dees best scorer in Oliver.

They do have a pretty nice start to the year so it could work out if they are winning convincingly most weeks and taking a big slice of the 3300 point pie.

Other than that it's pretty solid, not much to fault.
How much $$$ left over?

Cheers Seymour.

I think (Hope) we'll play finals this year but if there is one thing you learn being a Melbourne supporter it is to lower your expectations. But if we have a good run with injuries anything is possible, like your Tiges and the Dogs before them.

I would love to fit Oliver into my mids, just think Fyfe and possibly even Bont as better value picks and I am not sacrificing Dusty to get him in. Got a feeling Petracca will break out this year as he is now ready to play large spurts in the mids, Pig I think will repeat from last year as he gets a tonne of the ball and Gus I am more hoping that he has some better luck with injuries and if so feel he can average 80-85. Maxy at 500K is a no brainer and everyone will have him in their sides.

Only 20K left so I can't even swing Nic Nat to Nank as previously planned. Might have to risk Sandi is Nic Nat doesnt get up.

Thanks for the feedback.

I really like it, however; i would go Coniglio and Smith over JOM and Greene. Nothing wrong with JOM or Greene i just think Cogs and Smith are terrific value and if both end up as keepers it could potentially save you an upgrade. I guess the flipside to that is that if they dont improve you'll need to trade both. I like the Parker pick and all your rookies look good. Hard to find fault really.
