LOVE the Jake Lloyd selection. Very close to picking him, just waiting on pre season.

How is Beams a better player than Rocky Beams turns the football more than any of our other midfielders I'm seriously surprised people are picking himBored shitless on the train so here's another interation, 1.03.
First time i've taken the byes into account.
Chucked in a few more of the higher priced rookies so if we have a shortage come round one I won't have to totally re-structure my team to fit them in.
Docherty is a star will drop in price a bit but Carlton have a nice early draw, willing to pay the price to have him from the get go. 100+ easy.
I've never picked Rance before because KPP are scary. But he has been scoring well the last two years so it seems like a pretty safe pick. Didn't really like any of the defenders priced above him anyways. Edged out Laird due to better bye round, edged out JJ because I already have like 3 dogs.
Backing Hartlett to bounce back, having a genuine ruckman back will help him out. I think having a few Port/GC premos won't hurt too much in round 9 and will be very handy across the other bye weeks.
Captain Dangerfield. Lock. Next.
Dependles is jet. Was played out of position, injured, etc and was still the second highest scorer for the year.
Dusty will be a POD. Can't see him going backwards but has a lot of little things he can improve on (clangers/frees against) + good bye round. Also I've never not started with Dusty.
The Bont ain't human. Awesome VC choice. Racks up 100+ from 20 touches. Will lead the next gen of SC Studs with Cripps and Treloar.
Fyfe is a monster, had plenty of time to get his leg right. We know he can comfortably average 120+ good C option too playing a lot of Sunday games.
Beams when not broken is a point scoring machine. Suspect due to injury but at 432k I can't say no. Better player than Rockliff and 170k cheaper.
Gawn will break the mold and be back to back #1 scoring ruck.
Confident that Goldy will be #2, paid nearly 700k for him last year. Wasn't 100% last year and was still very serviceable. The only other ruckman I'd consider are Grundy/Sandi.
Love Dahl, dodged a bullet last year when he went down the week before I was gonna trade him in. Safe top 6 fwd imo.
How the hell did Macrae get DPP? I don't know but I'm gonna take it. Can play, pretty consistent scorer. One of the better choices in a very disappointing fwd line.
At 418k Ryder is one of the best picks this year, will piss Lobbe off to the SANFL forever, think he'll be able to notch out a 95+ average and he's got DPP in case Gawn or Goldy go down. My only donut last year came due to Goldy missing. If there's a genuinely good R/F available in future years I will be taking them to avoid that happening again.
Trains are bloody dreadful.

113 & 115 avg in recent years is whyHow is Beams a better player than Rocky Beams turns the football more than any of our other midfielders I'm seriously surprised people are picking him
Nice team.!
Plenty of reasoning to not pick Danger. Last year was his best year by a mile, he's nowhere near prime Ablett in the "pick him at any cost" stakes.Danger had 12 scores of 130+ Including 5 over 150. He picks himself.
Very nice team mate
Very nice team mate
Only tweak I'd make is Beams>Crouch
Picking him because his likely to play, he only really needs to average 60s to make enough money for a downgrade optionAre people only picking Berry for the DEF/MID link? Because he just doesn't get that much ball. I can't see him averaging him very high, so I'll likely pass.
Beams is a risk but the reward is huge.
OOOooohhhh!!! LikeyPick Beams, if he flops go to DSwallow and pocket the 150k



Needs MORE Menzel....good team coming together nicely.
Like your premos.V1.02 - thoughts on premos and structure appreciated. Rooks placeholders like most.

Flexibility, DPP, saved my arse so many times in leagues last year.Can someone explain why everyone is picking Taylor Adams? He's never played 22 games in a year, his best being 18, the year before last, totals of 15, 16, 12, 18 and 14 for his career. Yes he has averaged 97 in the last 2 seasons which puts him very much in calculations for top defenders but he really doesn't have much durability, it's not like he gets injured in big chucks, he misses games all over the place. Collingwood have an incredibly deep midfield and there was a reason he was pushed back to half back. Last year he opened the season with very solid scoring, played 4 weeks and then missed 2, played the next 3 and missed another 5 (1 being the bye) then got 6 games and missed the final 2.
To put in perspective, if he puts up a 97 average again this season but only plays 18 games, you'll need to fill those games with a rookie, average defensive rookie averages 60 (rough guess), this brings an effective Taylor Adams down to an average of 91. This would make him the 15th highest scoring defender. Basically a base line D6.
The other thing to consider is the depth of midfield scoring at Collingwood. Pendlebury, Treloar, Wells, Sidebottom, Greenwood, Varcoe, Crisp, De Goey and Adams as well, he's probably 5th string in that list. Sydney is probably the best example for best case in Collingwood's and Adam's case. Kennedy, Hannebury, Parker, Mitchell (last year) Jack are their top 5 scoring midfielders. Even the best midfield in the game there is a drop off on the 5th string midfielder. Imo That Sydney group as a collective is much better quality than the Collingwood group.
I just don't understand starting with Adams, he's neither durable or in a scoring position in his teams midfield this year. If he's going well come the byes maybe take a punt on him and bring him in but to me there are much better options here.
He'd have to get through preseason 100% clean bill of health and guys like Langdon would need to get fully fit so he's definitely playing in the midfield before I'd consider him. Well over 15 guys I'd think would average more than a supposed 91 I suggested.Flexibility, DPP, saved my arse so many times in leagues last year.
I haven't picked him but will continue to watch him, looks like a good prospect.
Nice team although theres no mid/fwd link.Bored shitless on the train so here's another interation, 1.03.

Adams is one of our better in and under types, he only floats to hb occasionally during games. Hes a bull!He'd have to get through preseason 100% clean bill of health and guys like Langdon would need to get fully fit so he's definitely playing in the midfield before I'd consider him. Well over 15 guys I'd think would average more than a supposed 91 I suggested.
