Only comment I'd make is ..your team looks like most others in DEF & FWD ....the difference is, by cutting your Rucks to Kruezer / Longer , you are now able to have two premo's at M5 & M6
Is batting so deep in the midfield, offset the loss in points from Grundy & Gawn ?
Sloane ave 2018 .....96 ______________Libba ave 2017 .....79
Merrett ave 2018 .....100 ____________Brouch ave 2017....96
Longer ave 2018 ......53 _____________ Gawn ave 2018 .....127
Kruezer ave 2018 .....79 _____________ Grundy ave 2018... 130
Total Points ave 2018 ..328 points ______ Total Points ave .....432 points
Factors
1. Do Libba & Brouch have more upside than Merrett & Sloane .....IMO, yes
2. Grundy & Gawn present more Captaincy & VC options than Merrett & Sloane
I see what you're trying to do and I like the idea.
But there's just too much risk with those 2 rucks. If Kreuz goes down and/or Longer gets outed for Pierce/Marshall you're up the creek and downgrading premos to fix the problem.
If you downgrade Sloane to a Rookie and get Grundy in for Longer u still have a good team with great depth and 15 possible keepers. Or maybe even Sloane to Libba and Kreuz to Grundy, but seriously Longer is just a poo SC scorer, does sweet FA except tap the ball. It's a shame as a first ruck for 260k would be in most of our teams who are going without Gawn, if it was anyone else but Longer.
I regret not starting Lycett last season, even sharing ruck duties with Nic Nat he averaged 80+ but I don't know if Longer can do that. I mean in 2017 he twice had 48 hitouts and scored 25 and 77.

I agree with most of that. Although the figures are slightly biased/selective, in that Merrett's avg is injury affected as is Kreuz's, and Longer played bugger all games as Hickey was first ruck. Also the two 'Gs' averages will be hard to back up.
So Merrett could go 105-110, Kreuz capable of 95+ and Longer 70.
That said, Libba + Brouch + Gawn +Grundy still outscore Sloane + Merrett + Longer + Kreuz

Honestly that is just crap...I'm more than happy to pay $20 for SC Gold but I don't use/need a general HS subscription. Like pissing $14 per month away for nothing.
Wish I was better with computers so I could find a work around.

Okay - My V1.1 for 2019.
Round 14 bye causing some issues, I do like the team as a whole however.
I personally think the rule changes will make a difference to defenders, I'm strongly considering going a bit of mid price madness in that area as I think a lot of value is to be had.
Fire away with your critiques!

What difference do you think will happen & who are some of the Defenders who will benefit .....and who will the changes negatively impact ? ......just asking for a friend

Just some observations:
1. There's a few thinking of going light in DEF ....2 prem, 1 mid-price, 3 rookies ....but this is adventurous having Newman, who was traded for a reason, as your D1
2. Given you going mid-pricers in DEF, I can't see other zones that have benefited .....do you still have a lot of cash in the bank ?
3. If you take a risk in an area ....don't take risks in other area's (Kruezer, Greene) ....just limit your exposure, you can correct later-on early in the game
4. I'm struggling with the Williams pick .....yes, he's a good price, but he's only had 1 year of good scoring ....was that season average the future norm or an irregular year ?

Hahahahahahaha...I think it'll help a lot of the running defenders who can kick hence some of my selections.What difference do you think will happen & who are some of the Defenders who will benefit .....and who will the changes negatively impact ? ......just asking for a friend
That extra room will help a lot. As will not having to kick to themselves first.
Hands in the back being scrapped should also help feed the mosquito fleet a bit more too.
Well that's my theory anyway

Thoughts on Brodie Smith?
Cheap as, likely getting a full preseason after coming in late last year. However off an ACL and with Milera off the hbf he may not return to ~2014 scoring.
Lots of injury discounted picks floating around in Greene, Roberton, Birchall, Libba, Crouch etc etc
Pretty much going to wait for jlt before whipping up at team

Thank you for your feedback mate, it's appreciated...This is how I see it.
Whitfield is actually my D1 but I couldn't be arsed switching them around (using the Elites selector) - I'm comfortable with him as my D1 at this stage
Williams is my D2, I really rate him and I'm picking him to surpass 2017, it may burn me but I'm going on gut feel. (He will start a bit slow)
Newman at D3 I'm comfortable with. Doc is down again, Newman will be the new Batman to Simpsons Robin.
High risk players Kruezer and Greene will be monitored but they're potentially top 5 by position and too good to pass up.
I've plateaued the last few years and need to try something new..I'm going a lot more aggressive this time round.
Top 10% isn't good enough, 2019 is time to roll the dice and go for a very high finish or crash and burn but at least try something different to the good old GnR.

Was Newman recruited as a primary QB option ? ......some big wraps on Tom Williamson too ...so much uncertainty around Carlton ATM
Yeah, think Whitfield is a good option ....again, i'm going with Sicily, that is looking like he could be a good POD .....that is until the JLT series, then all the flogs will copy me, like last year
Yes, they're justifiable risks .....but do you want 4-5 risky players in your side ? .....maybe limit your side to just 2 risks, that can be more easily corrected than say 5
Good luck
Get rid of Daniher & Miles and get in Goldy/Max

My gut feel is that Newman will go only marginally better playing HBF for Carlton than Aaron Mullett did. I think he may start out in the role but will be dropped for Williamson by Rd7

Hardly. They stink. The whole team is shit apart from Cripps and Curnow, that much is fairly certain.
As for Newman, he's had one season averaging 82 and the other 72.... i don't really see how that appeals in any way shape or form.
Anyone can change clubs and go, "I'm gonna play the QB role across half back brooooo......" but it rarely actually pans out that way.
Take Wilson for example. Heard the same thing about him last year, yet his move to Freo increased his average a whopping 4ppg from 76 to 80.
QB role brooooooooo. It's a fantasy.

Best thing I've read on here for quite some time and my thoughts exactly! No use copying every other blokes flippin' side and finishing top 5k. Go for the jugular and try and get yourself a piece of that sweet 50 large. If it doesn't work, always next year

Definitely. Living and dying by your own decisions is always best. There's not much worse in this game than following the pack and then realising if you'd just got with your own opinion/gut you'd be so much better off.

Houli is an interesting one, I'd probably stay away personally because Short was taking a lot of his points last year and he has been a bit injury prone recently
