After the preseason matches, this is my updated list:
DEF:
Zilliams(suspended for round 1, don't think it's worth benching him)
Witherden(Hurn will take too many points off him)
Duggan
Clark
Luko(inconsistent)
Harmes(butchers the ball, not sure where he fits when other players return)
MID:
Taranto
Daicos(won't get enough inside time, inconsistent scoring)
Serong ??? (didn't play in the prac matc
LDU
Anderson(playing outside, won't score enough)
Green ??? (will he get enough time on ball to score well? scored well when given the opportunity on the weekend)
Heppell ??? (got a lot of the ball, but turned it over a lot, might just be rusty)
Sier(no guaranteed spot, been a bit meh)
Hately(not best 22, has work to do, won't play round 1)
FWD:
Heeney ??? (might be spending too much time forward, especially after Mills has moved into the middle and some kids have improved)
Greene
Jartin(shocking score in the preseason match, too much time in the forward half)
Langford(spending too much time forward it seems)
De Goey
Bailey ??? (looks like he needs a few goals to score well, doesn't seem to get enough of the ball)
Phillips
Rayner(poor bloke is done for the year)
Cameron ??? (will kick goals, but he's a KPF, so he'll throw in some shockers)
Rozee(surgery, not playing early rounds)
Rankine(too much time forward, inconsistent scoring)
Caldwell
TMac(key forward, up and down scoring)
Thoughts? Agree/disagree?

I hear you currently have Dow and Tyson. That's just silly. Don't do it.

Think I got bitten by the midprice bug yesterday because after sitting on a 12 keeper pure GnR team for a couple weeks, here I am changing everything trying to get more keepers in. Clark, De Goey, Taranto, Phillips and Butters have all been in and out of my team yesterday and today

I’m all in on MPM this year.
I usually start with a bit of a midpricey sort of team but this year it is completely of control.
Last time I looked I had nine players between 200K and 500K in my team.
I only have ten genuine keepers and at least one of those doesn’t have a real history of scoring at premium levels.
Feels good.

Only Dow and Tyson?
You’re in the wrong thread. You want the “I have one high priced rookie and one stepping stone” thread.
Warning:
It’s nerd central over there

Thought he passed the eye test.
14 contested possies means he'll win his own footy down back & used it very well.

I'm sitting on eleven 200-500k players at the moment.
I reckon I've got 8 genuine keepers if I count Taranto (who I had all last year as well). Two or three more speculative/probables.
Currently four rookies on field with a fair to middling chance one of those will become my 12th mid-pricer before season's start although I'm also trying to keep enough to move Draper to Grundy if I get too scared. End result I'll be around 10-12 on the madness scale.

using that criteria I have 8...and I thought it was a lot.

I've got 9 if you include Doch, but like you I'm hoping for a few Keepers amongst them.
I'll count it as a mini-win if I have 3 keepers amongst these 9 players, and a huge win if I have 4 keepers.
So Doch and 3 more
If I'm being honest, depending on rookie selections for rd1, there's a good chance two of my mid-pricers go down to rookies, and perhaps one up to 500k+. I'm hopeful four others become keepers. Leaves four stepping stones if all goes well, which it almost certainly won't.I've got 9 if you include Doch, but like you I'm hoping for a few Keepers amongst them.

I'm also considering trying for a top three player on each line and all mid-pricers surrounding them, so there's that.

I'm trying to be more daring this year and have gone with a much riskier team.
I'm going to focus more on getting the best final team rather than a week by week score... so I've gone with a lot of risky injury prone players
Jelly, Fyfe and then the Mid-pricers Greene, DeGoey
Stuff it YOLO and we are bound to have more soft tissue injuries this year due to the longer game time again anway

I am not worthy. There is mad and then there is completely and utterly cracked. I love it.
We may need to have a MPM team reveal thread.

Nice. Deliberately picking injury prone players. Very individual tactic. Just crazy enough that it could work.I'm trying to be more daring this year and have gone with a much riskier team.

maybe once in every 350,000 tries

Probably got a bolter’s chance of snagging a weekly top league prize with a league full of MPM teams.

LOL - that wasn't the aim.
But, their injury history did not put me off.
They are all great players and I'm hoping that they have a better luck with injuries this year - as soft tissue injuries can happen to any players this year - stay tune

in as Huge Browns. 4 spots left
Oh I've already put a couple of previous versions up, here's what I'm currently working with.
Realistically, probably Disney and Daniher down to selected rookies and Draper up to Grundy. That would bring me down to 8 madness. That said, I still quite like Duggan and Hind, so nothing is certain (aside from doom and destruction by about round 6).

Love it. Completely batty. Mine is quite similar.
Back line I’ve got Laird and Tom Stewart instead of Lloyd and Aliir.
Midfield I’ve got Zerritt and Walsh instead of Mitchell and LDU.
Grundy and Flynn at R1 and R2
Danger instead of Butters.
Apart from that pretty close. Reckon I might end up with one more primo by the time it starts.

Not much talk about Heppell lately. Everyone gone off him?
Never on. I'd dearly love him to do well but I'm worried he's going to be a liability for us. Doesn't look comfortable as a defender and he's slower than Darren Jarman.
