Surely, Essendon will play Cox. I believe he and Koschitzke will start. I currently have Cox on the field, Koschitzke on the pine.

Hey Heather, nice to c another chick on here.
Your team looks good but looking at it, u have ROB and Witts, but the money saved I can’t really c it in the rest of ur team.
Back line a little light on.
FWD not sure how every1 of those will go. I have Dow but none of the others.

Thanks Bec, will make some changes on your advice
Brian Smith

Probable that Highmore, Gould & Bianco all not picked. Might be worth taking Neale to a lower mid prem such as Bont/Pendle to fix your D.
Bec

no probs, us girls have to stick together, but Im no expert like the peeps on here.
DEF is so tough this year, I’m loading up in the back line and only have 3 rookies, 2 of thos r on the bench.
PS.have u ever put ur feet in a bucket of bake beans b4

Agree with the others but Highmore seems a good chance to debut considering he’s ahead of Carlisle in the race for Frawley’s spot. Think he’s named.

Thanks Brian, alot to think about, am a big fan of Lachie

Hi heather you will find most of the rookies that could play round 1 will be in the forward line and very few in defence so a restructure between those two lines will improve your team as I think 3 of you rookie defenders won’t play. cheers p.s the hardest part of fantasy is getting your round one team right, good luck!

Also, Rockliff or Steele- i prefer rockliff’s ceiling, he’s a pig and great captains option, however steele is less of a risk but could go 10 points less most weeks?

because 1st week trades are usually sideways and usuelss im looking at leaving rowell for a week because he has WCE at optus and then jump on him with his run on north, crows and carlton.

I’m not sold on Rowell at all early this year due to his shoulder and his need of tackles to score wel so I have Brad Hill in my team. I really like what he could do this year with interchange caps, normal quarters, new man on the mark rule etc. However he’s going to score bad Round 1 with the conditions in Sydney looking abysmal. Should I trust my gut and cop the bad score Round 1 or just hide behind the ownership of Rowell?

I’m thinking of downgrading Cumming>Cox/Idun for $$. Worthwhile? Cox should get games

Good Team Guys. It’s a bit like mine
Houston, Short,Docherty,
Daniels, Clark, H Young. (Highmore. Kozi)
Merrett, Rockliff, S Ross, Sloane
Green, Bruhn, Powell. Gulden (Brockman, Downie)
Gawn, Nankervis (Flynn)
De Goey, Phillips, Stephenson
Fantasia, Campbell, Rowe (Warner, Bergman)

IStill might Trade Rocky and one of the Forwards out for Hind because I really want to add Dunkley
Dukx
March 16, 2021 at 10:18 am
Worked out a better team
Houston, Short, Docherty
Daniels, Clark, H Young (Highmore)
Merrett, Serong, Ross, Sloane
Green, Bruhn, Powell, Gulden (Downie, Brockman)
Gawn, Nankervis (Flynn)
Dunkley, Phillips, Stephenson
Hind, Campbell, Rowe (Henry, Bergman)
Meek
P.S. To the Traders I’m not really sure about Warner as I’m a Swan supporter and think the Swans have a young Team and I cannot really see him lasting long.
I have had Laird in my side all Pre-Season but to balance my whole team out and add players I want I had to lose him from my side, plus all my backs are based around low to lowish BE’s. I was going to go for Idun but I’m not really sure about him. Plus I’ve based my Rookies prized more than 170 so as when players get a game such as Valente I’ll have the extra money.
And that will be my team unless someone else can give me information on any other players

Two rookies in the ruck is really no different to having rookies in other positions
So many premiums to grab with the extra cash

This is the time of the year I HATE the most about fantasy football. The constant tweaking and changing your team for the umpteenth time to finalise it.
Come on Footy season, hurry up and start already, so I can sleep at night.

Set to play off half back for Essendon this year to replace Saad and McKenna to give them that zip off half back. Played that role for Essendon in the vfl prior to being drafted and scored well, saints played him forward and thus his scoring sucked. 409k as a forward makes it a good pick imo.
