Apologies for any inconvenience. We will try to find a replacement.
yeah im still not sure if he is a lock or not but i guess ill figure that out closer to lockout, ill either keep him or get a rookie and upgrade a backman to thurlow or jones
booked
Solid setup.I made a pre-JLT post with the team I had and an unnecessarily long spiel on why I had chosen that side....I thought it was only appropriate to do the same pre- R1
Anyway, I've settled on this for R1 (Rookies Included unless one of them is a Shock Omission for Rd1...Most of them have already been confirmed as R1 Starters though so I'm not worried).
DEFENCE:
K. Simpson
Pretty straightforward selection once I thought about it, just needed to see that he was fit and firing in JLT (Which he absolutely was). Durability is an incredibly underrated asset, especially for defenders. This bloke has only missed 5 games in 11 Seasons (That means he has played 237 out of a possible 242 games...INSANE!!!). His scoring capacity is spoken for: Scored 15 tons last year and his LOWEST score for the entire year was 84.
T. Adams
I tinkered with the idea of not having him here given his injury history and habit of getting reported...but it just wasn't possible. He is a pure midfielder available in defence and that makes him a must-have. Has been elevated to the Magpie leadership group as 1 of 3 so hopefully his rowdy antics cease! Will comfortably average 100+ if he plays 22 games and will also become a Mid-Only option next year so make hay people...
R. Laird
Surprising to see that he is only in 27% of teams! Laird is set to spend more time in the midfield and even if he doesn't- will run the show down back. As consistent as they come and will finish as a top 8 defender.
C. Marchbank
In plenty of defences at D4 and rightly so IMO. Started 2016 off very nicely with a 93 before injury struck in Rd 2. Did you know that 33% of Carlton's Overall SC Total per game is scored by defenders? They are #1 in the AFL for that category. This is simply because the ball is in their defence A LOT. Marchbank's intercept work was terrific in JLT and he is developing in the mould of an aggressive defender (very much a modern concept!).
C. Hampton
$160k. Solid JS. Decent Scoring Potential. SC-Friendly Role. Lock and Move on with your life imo.
E. Vickers-Willis
I like the way young Ed plays, seems to have taken over Spud Firrito's vacant spot in the defensive half and was impressive in the JLT. Has clean hands and looks to use the ball by foot more often than not which is definitely a good thing. Realistically, D6 could just as easily be filled by Stewart or Otten, but I've gone with EVW.
MIDFIELD
P. Dangerfield
*Sigh*. I tried to justify my team without him, I really did. But it just doesn't work. He destroyed the JLT and looks very very fit coming into the season proper. The cost of NOT having him is absolutely enormous, so he could be picked based on that theory alone.
D. Hannebery
Only in 11% of teams for some reason. Gave up alcohol after last season and recorded PB's in every single time-trial the club had. Had a quiet JLT which I think is great because a lot of people have kicked him out of their sides as a result. Only went under 600k after Round 13 last year...so you could be waiting a while if you want him cheaper.
L. Neale
Hasn't left my side since the Team-Picker opened. Absolute superstar who will take the step up to ULTRA-ELITE status this year. Averaged 113 whilst copping tags and dealing with injuries last year...Fyfe is back now and Neale will absolutely sky-rocket. The best POD I've picked in recent years (Although it might be a bit early to say that)
A. Treloar
In the same boat as Neale. Part of the 'Next Generation' who will dominate the sport for the next 5-10 years. Only in 20% of teams which surprises me considering the enormous upside.
N. Fyfe
Lock. Move on.
D. Beams
See above.
J. O'Meara
In 51% of teams!!! Perfect cash cow in the midfield, he will be ready to upgrade just as ultra-premo's dip a little bit. Has excellent scoring potential and looks very fit.
S. Powell-Pepper
The Beast!! Lock Lock Lock.
RUCKS
T. Nankervis
I tinkered and tinkered but in the end, the Nankilands combo works best for me. I think Toby will average 90-100 this year and lay a foundation to flourish next year, we have seen rucks change club and become a real weapon at their new club as the #1 big-man (Mumford/Jacobs for example). I think Nanny K will fit the bill and play all 22 as a real key for the Tiges this year.
A. Sandilands
Plenty of people afraid he will get injured but he played 21 games in 2014 and 2015! Only a freakish knee to the back ended his 2016, he's an R2 CERTAINTY FOLKS!!!
FORWARDS
N. Riewoldt
Has plenty of games at Etihad early and his new role on a wing is perfect for SC. Has a great ceiling and is consistent as well! Considered bringing him in after a price drop but I really do think he will burn it up early and I dont want to miss out.
L. Dahlhaus
Genuine LOCK in every sense of the word.
S. Higgins
Are people still reading? I assumed that after seeing 'S. Higgins' they would have screamed, smashed their computer with an axe, set it on fire and then burnt their house down. North are absolutely BARREN when it comes to talented ball users, Higgins is probably the only real one to speak of! Spent all his time in the midfield in JLT and was put on ice after the first half in JLT3 (A testament to his importance). He is underpriced and I feel he will replicate his 95avg of 2015, perhaps even add a few more points onto it given the role change.
J. Roughead
Was an ultra-premo fwd at one stage, at this price he is a must for every single forward line.
T. Taranto
This kid will be a superstar one day, the fact that he is forcing his way into this insanely talented GWS side says a lot about his capabilities. Coniglio and Deledio are both out for a while so his JS is looking pretty dam good.
T. Miles
This could be Butler/Eddy but I think Miles has the best scoring capacity of the 3. Plays a role in defense and was entrusted with kick-out duties in the JLT so he has a decent scope for scoring. Hawthorn also love to share the pill around which doesn't hurt his case either!
Thats all! Any comments/questions/feedback?

Cheers. Just realised Bowes is around the same price.
Pair of 30's is nothing to get excited about for that price though.
Not really sold on Florent's JS though. Haven't really considered Simpkin, how did he go?
He should be alright with Papley/Rohan out for a bit.

He doesn't have to be Sam Mitchell.
Tackles will bump Turners score up not possies

Not with Papley/Rohan injured, Turner is the safest option in that price range as far as JS is concerned.
and yet Sam only gets 80s or 90s with 30+ sometimes
