Strategy 2026 DPP Changes

[JuddgementDay]

Not keen on him at this stage. Needs goals to score.

Sure, but someone told me there’s not enough rookies this year




Ok - so I meant mid DPP rookies

[Maybe Tomorrow]

Holmes and Merrett become essential if that happens. Holmes probably is anyway.

When to they activate.....after 11 or 12

After round 11

That just made things simpler. Been struggling to decide on FWD options.
Outside of getting Trac back the rest of the options are meh.

So think I'll use Round 9-11 to finish the backline then swing Zerrett forward and pick other mids like Daicos, Holmes, Baz, Heeney. Hopefully can hold Parish and Bruhn to that point.

Bont won't get DPP

Need 35% in the position to get it. Bont almost no chance, Zerrett right on the edge

Here's hoping cos fwd options this year are ass.
Who am I kidding. Brad won't help out the people. More likely to play him in the ruck than bump his FWD time up even slightly to help.

 

[HeHateMe]

Good thing with Holmes is he looks like a good target in 2 weeks and at that point we will know for sure.

I'm now second guessing what to do with Bruhn.

Holmes is a good target even if mid only.

 

[54Dogs]

Holmes is a good target even if mid only.

Yep should be top 8 / 6 on either line

 

[Jiska]

After round 11

Annoying Holmes doesn’t have a Bye until Round 16

 

[Obese Arachnid]

I have 11 MID only players. I'll take anything.

Put one in flex, then get another Mid.

Problem solved.

Could Gawn get fwd

 

[NeedForTheReids]

 

[Nelso]

Young as a floating F7/M9 would be perfect

We need that extra 1% for Holmes. But can we trust that Chris Scott

’s chance of ruck status if he stays in there till rd 11?

 

[54Dogs]

You just know Scott is checking this minute by minute to ensure Holmes finishes on 34%

 

[A Bit Dusty]

Noah Balta’s chance of ruck status if he stays in there till rd 11?

No chance he already has Fwd/Def DPP

 

[Maybe Tomorrow]

Still 3 matches to go. Holmes would be handy. Bruhn probably doesn't matter as many will trade him before then.

Holmes would move from M3 to D1 for me, and complete my DEF.
Holding Jack Carroll at D7 until after round 11. Hopefully will be around $300k. Will hold some cash too as would need to trade Carroll for a MID premo replacement.

Merrett FWD is a dream, but 6% seems a lot to make up at this stage. Surely he misses dpp, but it's B.Scott so who knows!

 

[Jiska]

Could Gawn get fwd

Zero chance

 

[Jiska]

Holmes D1

 

[Deliverance]

Bruhn D6 during byes will be nice.
