I know the question isn’t to me but the risks I see:
- batting one less premium in midfield compared to most, although I understand why you’ve gone this route
- outside of Whit and Dev, the whole forward line is quite risky. I like the Dawson pick but we’ve got a tiny sample size from him as research so could be safer to play the wait and see game. But don’t let that persuade you into not picking him if you’re keen on him. Uniques are what make this game interesting
Thanks, any food for thought this time of year is great, so much to change as of yet, dawson so easily interchangeable with the likes of Steven, Greenwood, wingard who we all need to see play in matches, love the different structures this year
Cheers for the feedback. Definitely do not wan't to have four rookies on field in the mids. Would you consider any of Gibbs, Ward, Wingard or Andrew Brayshaw in place of Selwood?

Nope, none of them. I would rather down grade somewhere else and at least have a speculative mid at M5, someone like a Lyons or Curnow? It's bloody difficult trying to find an ideal starting team, just cos there;s so many permutations and combinations, but it's important to start those players that you see as keepers for the year.

How annoying is it that Houston is so popular

I dont get it
Similar to my own
Similar to a lot of teams Ive seen on twitter tbh!Similar to my own
It's really not too bad a team - there's just nothing to set you apart unless you nail trades.

I'm being a smarta*** but the number of permutations are irrelevant, you only need to consider the number of combinations.
So, actually, if there are 44 players on each squad (792 total player pool), there are 1.98E+54 combinations, which is the same as the number of permutations (unless you are considering the bench as different permutations, but I'd say in PS that's irrelevant.
Oh man!! The last time that I looked at differential calculus was in 1977, Gimme a break!I'm being a smarta*** but the number of permutations are irrelevant, you only need to consider the number of combinations.

Already just wishing the season would start so I can stop tinkering everyday with my team. Currently settled on this line up. Going strong in the Mids and spending up with the premos so I’m not chasing them all season and go for some value down back.
Backs: Houston, Docherty, Hill, Robertson, Young, Gould (McLennan, Goddard)
Mids: Jelly, Macare, Gaff, Adams, Mitchell, Rowell, Anderson, Pickett (McHenry, Brown)
Ruck: Grundy, O’Brien (Naismith)
Fwd: Whitfield, Smith, Ceglar, Jones, Cockatoo, Sturt (Rankine, Hosie)
Utility: Starcevich
likely to change depending on the rookies but will juggle them around closer to rnd1 if needed

Thoughts on Angus Brayshaw as a speculative M5 then?
Did a few rookie tweaks and was able to get Fyfe to Dunkley and Selwood to Brayshaw.
Macrae, Dunkley, Mitchell, Coniglio and Angus Brayshaw would be M1-M5.
Can understand why people would not touch him, but he’s young, underpriced for what we have seen him do when not being played on the wing.
I cant see him playing inside early with the elbow issue...
True. I had totally forgotten about the injury.

I don't think it's differential calculus...it's ways been classified as counting since Ive learnt it

Just be careful you don't downgrade too mich with the rooks and are left with your hands tied behind your back come selection night

I have had him in and out. Currently out
Same was in and now out... reckon he'll go bang with some big scores as per usual but then applying the durability filter it all comes unstuck.
I have Worpel instead at this stage. So many ball magnets - just got to nail the right ones. Rocky on fire is C material - Injury risk is high.

Nice team.At a point now where I'm tired of chopping and changing. I think I'll call it here and keenly await the MCS for more clarity.
Here's my current side, feedback appreciated.

That Jacobs pick really allows the extra mid...hmm, something for me to think about, but I just can't trust him not to go about 70-80 this year

That side is eerily similar to mine, haha. The mids are quite different, but the forward and back lines are pretty much identical. So of course I love it, haha
That's the thinking that honestly has me looking at Naismith, now that my Lycett pick has fallen through. Even if he averages 60, if Jacobs goes 80, it's not really worth sacrificing the chance to have a top line mid for a speculative ruck.
Still considering ROB for R2, but despite his awesome year, it's still a lot to ask of essentially a second year player at a very hefty price. Everyone else - Marshall, Martin, Goldy, Witts and Gawn, all have question marks.
Looking to keep some cash to upgrade to English after a few rounds, as I think he'll be the 'breakout' ruck this year. High disposal winner, plays like a mid, has put on significant size and will basically have the ruck role to himself. Marsh will be interesting.
