786k remaining, will definitly need to rearange some things, any advice would be helpful
Coleman, Philipou and Jagga Smith are injured
yeh, i need to update that, what are your thoughts on replacing
Charlie hit the nail on the head, you have a few guys injured in there. I’d use the cash to try and get one less rookie on field in Def and Mid, why aren’t you using that cash?
yeah, i think i’m gonna use it to get in simpkin for philipou, rivers for koleman
Upgrade Smith and Sharp to Hollands Docherty and maybe change Petracca to Bontempelli because he has some great early match ups
cheers

I essentially make about $6,000-$9,000 every month on the web. It’s sufficient to serenely supplant my old employments pay, particularly considering I just work around 10-13 hours every week from home. I was stunned how simple it was after I attempted it duplicate underneath web…

What is the projected score?
3 on field Mid rookies, that are only still maybes to play Rd 1 is risky, but if your strength in Def and Fwds pays off, you’ll look like a genius
Probably the best structure you can have with Marshall + X at this stage. Rookies rd1 may force your hand but if they are named I like it!
After the match sims I’d change Traviglia to Zach Reid from essendon and probably also kennedy to Sanders then you could upgrade L ashcroft to hollands or cumming.

Kinda happy with the line up now, any thoughts would be appreciated 🤜🤛
Great team at this stage, SDK will be a watch hopefully good news when teams are named🤞
Thanks for the feedback mate👍
early bye on SDK is not ideal, but he could make some quick cash hopefully..
u have 3x Rnd 3 bye players.. at risk of getting donuts early.
130 k left in the bank. Let me know your thoughts.

UT: Travaglia
Pretty vanilla but nothing wrong with that. I’d probably look to get to one rookie on-field in the backline
I hear you. Trying to come up with a solution to only have the one rookie in the backline.
Mids and fwd line looks good. backline tho. The cheezle likely go down in cash. Short plays for Richmond. Perryman plays for the new style Collingwood. But see how they go next week. And I play sportsdeck dt so don’t have as many trades if something doesn’t work. The rookie shuffle at opening round will change everything anyway.
agree with Bob on the big Cheese.. gun for sure, but not sure he gos up in price, could look at the 2 from Sanits to save some $$ at D1, then shuffle one of your 5 mid rookies (incl Hewett) to save some extra $$, and drop Trav at UTL for a 230k player (pending election) and drop that 400k(ish) on an upgrade down back
Sheez has the role of being a top 6 def. set and forget and a good C/VC option. Daicos and Bont gets the tag on some games
Should i bring harvey langford in or put travalgia in mid
both of these players are only placeholders until rd 1 squads are named….

im still not sold on perryman, determine after praccy game this week. Day is so tempting, but that bye is turning me away.
I’m not exactly sold either but the only other players at a similar price to Perryman are Mills (plantar fasciitis), Mckercher (half-forward role??), or Roberts (not completely sold on job security)
got a few 3 way shuffles, but not sure which i’m gonna land on yet..
1 – Ryan + Perryman + Sweet (not sure there’s much upside to this, feels safe)
2 – NWM + Roberts + TDK (all 3 players could go 10+ points on last year)
3 – Rioli + SDK + Xerri (gets me Xerri, although the other 2, who knows..)
Good to see someone else looking at sweet . I have him R2 atm.
Thoughts?
DEF: Sheez, Rivers, Short, Mills, SDK, Allan (Leake, Reid) kinda vanilla
MID: Brayshaw, Dawson, Bont, Oliver, Peatling, NOD, Ashcroft, Travaglia (Hastie, Langford)
RUCK: Xerri, Gawn (Boyd)
FWD: Macrae, Sanders, Smith, Daniel, Garcia, Hewett (Angove, Stone)
40 k left. Feeling like backline is vanilla, and dont know about Mills yet.
Legends! Seeking Feedback on my side:

Ruc – Xerri, English (Boyd)
Fwd: Macrae, Sanders, Daniel, Garcia, McInnes (stone, Davidson)
Utility: Hutchinson
Cash: 51k
Current thoughts:
Tossing up between N.O’D at M6 or Garcia at M5.
I really want to squeeze Gawn in for R2
McInnes to swing back to D6 when DPP comes in (no faith in Def rookies)
El-Hawli prob not best22, Merrett playing all over the park, and an early bye for your M1 is not ideal. Maybe Dawson / Roz instead?

hinge is a risky one, could be put on the wing at times, everything else is fine
Like the Hinge pick as POD.. he had a few 90+ scores last year before he got injured.
Laird moving down back and Cumning in the squad might slow his scoring though?
There was talk of Hinge floating from HB to wing and even some mid time during the preseason. Has one of the best kicks and can see him taking a lot of kick ins.
Awkward price and probably not going to go up in price. It’s a no for me and will not look back.
Thoughts on J. Noble at D4 over Perryman?
Team’s going to change consistently before finalisation.

Hi everyone,

Still not sold on Roberts, Hollands and TDK or whether to restructure and go SDK, Doch and Gawn.
Still have $61K to play with
Any thoughts would be appreciated.. mid too weak/midprice?

$107k remaining, feeling that I’ve got too many mid-pricers.
Good team, but agree I think you’re 1 too many in mid and 1 too light in defence
Bont out for six weeks!!!! Calf injury affects tendon as well.
Thoughts please? :)

the commentators are not allowed to use the ‘m’ word.
why are you allowed to use the ‘g’ word in your handle.
Am I crazy to have Joel Freijah??
Scored well in the match sims and with all the dogs injuries…
Only thing worrying me is Bailey dale.
Even with Dale I still think he has some upside.
Not crazy. His been in and out of my team for Matt Roberts and SDK at D5, I can’t decide which structure to settle on
Noah Anderson has really got me thinking with his early run…
West coast round 1, bye, then Melbourne, Adelaide, North and Richmond he is currently at my M1.
Couldn’t you just get him for round 3 then? I doubt his price will change much after west coast?
Thanks good idea
Any advice would be helpful, Classic Game. Who to put in M7 And M8?

Would love your thoughts fellas. Is it too light on in Defence with 2 rooks?
Do I move a Day or Oliver > Peatling to get more cash??
Currently got NOD, H.Garcia, Langford at M6/M7/M8 with Lashcroft and O’Sullivan on the bench.
Looking at switching NOD/Garcia to Tsatas and a green dot 230 like Campo, putting Lashcroft onto M8.
Thinking that Sinclair’s return may shave a bit off Garcia’s potential, and Tsatas should be better than NOD.
Any constructive feedback?
You know what, I can’t be stuffed this year. I’m just gonna copy Warnie’s team and do all his trades word for word. Captains may differ, so let’s see who ends up higher.
Lachie Ash and Joel Freijah or
SDK and someone else above 800k
not sold on Rivers or McKercher atm
Feeling that defence needs no rookie on field…

Have 200k in the bank, any advice?
– Mills injured and will miss first couple rounds
– Ditto for coleman
– Travaglia not best 22
– Hewett doesn’t appear to be best 22
throwing caution to the wind this year & taking a punt on some PODs which will probably backfire, but fuggit, why not.. team below leaves me with $150k.
D: Clark, Short, Roberts, Evans, Freijah, Leake (Reid, Bice)
M: Rozee, Trac, Oliver, Cerra, Hollands, Tsatas, O’Sullivan, Reid (Ashcroft, Campo)
R: English, De Koning (Boyd)
F: JHF, Rankine, Macrae, Sanders, Smith, Daniel (Davidson, Stone)
U: Hastie
feel like Clark (<4%) is gonna be a 100 player, Evans (<2%) is hail mary to take over Houston, Freijah (<8%) given injuries should be a 80 player until i can upgrade.. moved Bray to Trac (<5%) & Day to Tsatas (<5%) to put extra $$ fwd allowing me to bump up Hobbs into Rankine and gives me options for the rookies named Rd1 (e.g. Bice up to Trav)
D: Sheezel, McKercher, Rivers, Roberts, Schoenmaker, Allan (Leake, Gibcus)
M: Anderson, Brayshaw, Oliver, Docherty, Hollands, Tsatas, Ashcroft, Langford (O’Sullivan, Camporeale)
R: Xerri, TDK (L Smith)

Might go McKercher->Perryman and Arie->SDK
