I think last year I got people to submit their top 8 teams excluding their own as a DM, and gave them a score from 8-1 for 1st to 8th. Then I aggregated the results and awarded a winner

Okay, with so many quality teams out there, going to be tough vote when it happens. Time for a quick analysis my team:

B: Hayden Crozier/ Noah Balta / Alex Pearce

HB: Lachlan Sholl / Nick Haynes / Will Day

C: Zac Williams / Shaun Higgins / Hunter Clark

HF: Toby Greene / Jack Darling / Nick Blakey

F: Izak Rankine / Joe Daniher / Ben Ainsworth

R: Todd Goldstein / Marcus Bontempelli / Matt Rowell

I/C: Levi Casboult / Josh Kennedy (SYD) / Hayden Young / Adam Tomlinson

Reserves: Trent Rivers / Mitch Robinson / Nakia Cockatoo / Jack Payne / Jake Waterman / Tristan Xerri / Archie Perkins / David Cuningham


Focus of drafting was on elite disposal, pace, x-factor and flexible KPPs.

Let's start with the forwards. Jack Darling was the top-rated KPP in 2020, throw in a fit Joe Daniher and it's a great one-two combination, both players with the potential to be high up in the Coleman Medal. Izak Rankine provides the class, his team mate Ben Ainsworth is an under-rated player with high level skills. It's a luxury having the likes of Toby Greene and Nick Blakey floating around half-forward and delivering the ball to the key forwards.

The midfield six is a mix of pace and elite disposal. Todd Goldstein is still one of the best tap ruckman in the AFL, the likes of Marcus Bontempelli, Matt Rowell and Shaun Higgins will be clearance machines feeding off the first ball. Throw in Zac Williams game-breaking pace and Hunter Clark's class and the constant drive out of the middle will provide the forwards with plenty of scoring opportunities.

The back 6 is balanced, Noah Balta, all-Australian Nick Haynes and a fit again Alex Pearce taking the tall and mid-sized forwards, Hayden Crozier can match up on smalls. What's really exciting is the foot skills of Lachlan Sholl and Will Day coming off half back, adding to the already elite disposal in the middle of the ground.

The interchange bench adds flexibilty to the 22. Levi Casboult can ruck or play as a KPF, Josh Kennedy provides grunt if required, Hayden Young adds to the elite disposal across half-back and Adam Tomlinson really came on as a KPD towards the end of last season, can also slot in as a tall wingman. The reserves provide decent depth across all positions.

Lots of potential 22under22 players, Rowell, Balta, Sholl, Day, Blakey, Rankine, Young and Rivers all a chance.

Bontempelli always a sniff for the Brownlow, Rowell will be a chance.

Daniher is every chance for the Coleman if he stays fit.

All in all, a really exciting team with the ability to score heavily.

My side is ****ed. Coniglio and Shiel out for at least half the season each. Cameron and Vlastuin also injured for decent chunks.

At least I drafted a lot of mids. Dunkley doing very nicely, as is Josh Bruce who I got with a 25th round pick.

Best 22 looking like

B Liam Jones - Dane Rampe - Blake Hardwick
HB Jack Ziebell - Jeremy McGovern - Zach Tuohy
C Noah Anderson - Jack Viney - Brandon Ellis
HF Kyle Langford - Tim Membrey - Jack Sinclair
F Gryan Miers - Josh Bruce - Jack Higgins
R Max Gawn - Josh Dunkley - Ben Cunnington

I George Hewett - Trent Dumont - Shaun Atley - Sean Darcy

Injured: Nick Vlastuin - Stephen Coniglio - Dylan Shiel - Jeremy Cameron - Joel Hamling - James Stewart

E Zaine Cordy - Eddie Betts

So myself 3 rounds in.

Only two duds at the moment. Jackson Hately has struggled with injury and form, Ben Paton broke his leg. Day too depending on that injury. Cousins is the only player that I selected past round 22 to have played below 2 games which I'm really happy about. Also gambling on Berry in early January for my last pick, that's a swish.

Also Oscar Allen and Ben King. :cool:

So far, I'm having a good time with this side. As much as Butler has spud it up a tad.

Current B22:

B: Mark O'Connor, Tom Jonas, Brennan Cox
HB: Nathan Wilson, Charlie Ballard, Bailey Williams
C: Lachlan Weller, Zach Merrett, Dominic Sheed
HF: Jamie Cripps, Oscar Allen, Ian Hill
F: Daniel Butler, Ben King, Sam Day
R: Ben McEvoy, Dustin Martin, Jarryd Lyons
INT: Sam Berry, Rory Laird, James Worpel, Justin McInerney
EMG: Luke Jackson, James Cousins, Lachlan Murphy

Not great, a lot of injuries and players who have not lived to expectation, especially all of my KPPs. Happy with Nic Nat, McCluggage, Bolton and Greenwood. Pickett, McCarthy, Mundy and McHenry have been good value picks too.
