I'm at the point now where I need some preseason games...

I was happy with my team. But I've gotten bored and started tinkering with it and made it look atrocious based off assumptions certain lines may be more difficult than others to fill with rookies.

Truth is we need to just wait for preseason games now before we can hone things any further. It's all just guesswork and assumptions otherwise.

Yeah mines a bit ****ed currently. I think I posted my favourite one in here (at least I hope) so I can revert back

Normally your 1st Draft is often the best

 

[RowellAnderson12]

Isn't Bowes out for 12 weeks with a shoulder ?

Yes, out to round 4-6

It’s the classic battle of instinct vs over thinking things we all face

Initial gut feel is usually right but then we habitually over analyse everything which causes doubt. I’m forever seeking the balance with an emphasis on the former

Absolutely. And you just keep seeing the same names in your side and get bored so change them out. I’ve had Tom Mitchell all pre season but moved him out for Walsh yesterday

Tell me about it.
I completed my side with $542k left.
Made half a dozen changes to turn Preuss into Gawn, and the team doesn't impress me.
No big dogs in the midfield as they're just so damn expensive.

They’ll both be great. Titch’s ceiling is monsterous though, Walsh not quite at that 120 yet. Got them both at the moment

M1 and M2?

 

[JADED]

Current Draft. Happy enough with structure of team. Can easily take Neale out to a Serong/Yeo to gain cash back to put on somewhere else. But happy for suggestions.

Even though you're an Essendon fan and a few token Bombers are to be expected, I love seeing Merrett there.
Quite low ownership considering his scoring is captain worthy or discussed as such most weeks.

Had Will Brodie but someone posted that he was last in most of the running drills, that was enough for me to go with Charlie Curnow & Cam Rayner as fwd cheapies.
Pre season watch..

M1 and M2?

3/4 with Steele and Macrae but high chance of one dropping down to Serong to up a rook. Feel like this year the added cap allows you to run at least 3 of them whilst still having a strong squad elsewhere

 

[Jcpdragonx]

2nd year playing, any idea how many premos we should run? Have 11 here including Cogs and Heeney, not including Hewett/Sicily. Went 11 last year and didnt get full premo til round 23, but also used 8 trades in the ruck (even had Thilthorpe R2 at one point lol).

Lot of mid-pricers, who are your captain options? Just Hall, Steele, and Grundy?

Dusty > Hollands and improve that midfield + get Ash to someone better.

No Caleb Shlong?

Caleb Schlong but doesn’t have the schlong himself?

I would captain Steele every week, he will be a top 3 ave player in the comp by the end so no point changing C every week.

I'm sure Caleb Serong

It’s like those teams you see named after a player that doesn’t have said player

My Fantasy side is vastly different to my SC side .....more a true GnR approach

Not much of a discount for injured players from 2021 ....e.g Degoey is only $12K more than Cogs

$350K is too much for Fin Macrae who ave 43 for season 2021

I'm running 14 keepers in my side ....I'll make money quicker with $190K rookie players than $300K+ players

I'm running with an 'almost' GnR team (at the moment) too. No players in the price range between Wayne Milera ($398k) and Josh Dunkley ($767k).

Keeper structure (i.e. players at Dunkley's price or higher) of 4-5-2-2.

Am pretty comfortable with it, but that's probably because I'm an old DT player and old habits die hard .

 

[Tex Danger]

Nah she'll be fine .....the Rookies they always appear

Forward is usually the position they appear, you talk yourself into the fact that they have decent JS so your concerns over low scoring potential get overlooked, then they max out at 220-240k and they’re a dead weight and your left wondering why you didn’t see it.

I’m thinking of loading up on fwd premo/ underpriced and a super cheap midfield if tgg it e rookie field lines up as I suspect

 

[wahooo]

Have just gone from Serong, Young and a rook (think it was Maginess) to Merrett, Rowell and Sinn.

Batting deep through the middle leaves the forward and back line lacking but boy it looks good.

DEF: Lloyd, Dawson, Sicily, Milera, Perez, Sinn (NOD, Skinner)

MID: Steele, Macrae, Titch, Merrett, Crouch, Rowell, Daicos, Ward (Erasmus, rook)

Ruck: Grundy and Darcy

FWD: Duncan, Dunks, De Goey, Pedlar, Holland, rook (rook, rook)

I don't like the 3 spud rooks up forward but apart from that it's not half bad.

4 big mids to carry your side and plenty of premo type scores to pop up elsewhere.

I don't have Sicily. Not discounted much based on that average point chart that was posted the other day.
I do have Milera (plus Rioli & Maynard) as questionable defenders though.
Milera only because fitness guru Darren Burgess seems to have a pretty good effect wherever he goes so I want some crows players that are unders based on fitness/body.
(Crouch, Milera, Hatley and even Scholl/Schoenberg could all be value picks)

 

[powerrrrrrrrrrrr]

Have managed to avoid changing my lineup for a number of days now and am quite settled across the board.

Have reverted again after recent training reports to backing in Witts to go at at least an 80 to start the year and can be a trade midway through the year.

Just need to find an extra 50k and I think I will be complete aside from any injuries or PS form to get Rioli (place holder) up to Curnow who is by every report, absolutely smashing it. Only way I can see that 50k at the moment is Heppell to Dawson which I really don’t want to do or Trealor to Thomas which I also don’t want to do but will likely have to pull the trigger on one of those two.

B: Hall, Whitfield, Heppell, Milera, Perez, Sinn

C: Steele, Macrae, Mitchell, Neale, Crouch, Daicos, Ward, Clark

R: Grundy, Witts

F: Duncan, Dunkley, Trealor, Rayner, Rioli (Curnow), Hollands

I’ve also Gawn to Witt’s.

Sounds like no restrictions so cheap as chips
