Who to bring in for daicos
luke ryan
luke Urquhart
Rozee or Petracca
Roberts or Perryman?
Only really want one of them considering the early bye.
luke ryan
Just go both. Top 18 and many teams will have both due to them being superior picks.
With lots of choices at each price range in midfield, name the player you have to have at:
● $400,000-$500,000 (Garcia, O-Driscoll Sheldrick)
● $500,000-$700,000 (Peatling, Holland’s, Cumming)
●$700,000-$800,000 (Day, Oliver, Docherty)
●$800,000+ (Rozee, Dawson, Brayshaw)
Garcia and O Driscoll
Nil
Oliver
Rozee, Dawson and Brayshaw
forget that get Luke ryan
NOD
Hollands
Cerra, Day, Oliver
Rozee, Petracca
nah get Luke ryan
Knevitt
hey legends, is sam flanders now a lock with his peroxide hair, incoming prime 2024 luke ryan season
nah luke Urquhart
hey legends is Luke ryan now a lock since he has no early bye
Jeez my team is ballsy thoughts of Short a D1??
Hell nah DH4
This is my “only 2 field rookies” squad.
Thoughts?
Def: Short Ash Bergman Roberts Perryman Freijah (Trainor Reid)
Mid: Rozee, Libba, Oliver, Day, Cerra, NOD, Lalor, FOS (Levi. Camp)
Ruck: X, TDK (Boyd)
Fwd: JHF, Macrae, Sanders, Baz, Daniel, Garcia (Davidson, Stone)
Utility: Gruze
Yes I’m aware I don’t have kako, but that’s assuming Lalor is named round 1 (switch if he isnt). Also Levi is bench because there is a chance he gets sub later in round. (In which case he also becomes kako).
Not many Captain choices..
Good Luck in 2025
Why no Petracca? Significantly underpriced and much more safe than Libba
I’m pretty keen on libba. The seriousness of traccas injury last year concerns me not gunna lie. Yes not many C choices but only 2 rookies on field is what I’m going for here.
I like libba more with no treloar or bont for 6+ weeks
Libba has only averaged 100 more than once in his career while Petracca before last year’s injury interrupted season went over 100 three years straight. Feel like it’s a case of over thinking but what do I know
I had a similar line up but panicked last minute and went more guns and less mid priced.
I always get sucked in by mid priced madness and doesn’t work out
D: Sheezel, Short, Roberts, Freijah, Weddle(??), SDK (Leake, Busslinger)
M: Anderson, Rozee, Oliver, Docherty, Hollands, Tsatas, Ashcroft, Langford (O’Sullivan, Camporeale)

F: Rankine, Macrae, Sanders, Smith, Daniel, Davidson (Kako, Warner)
U: El-Hawli

I don’t know if I’m happy with this team, seems a little vanilla to me. I can’t find a good defender around Weddles price. Any help or comments greatly appreciated
Solid team, don’t dislike it at all.
My takeaway would be a lot of money spent in defence. I would personally go SDK / Weddle down to Reid (good for a 60) and upgrade one of Hollands / Tsatas / Rankine
Pretty iffy on this team – don’t love the lack of captain options or the leftover cash in the bank – but can’t seem to find a way to improve it. Would love help!
Def: Rioli Short Roberts Perryman Freijah Leake. Allen Reid
Mid: Rozee Petracca Powell Oliver Day Hollands NOD L Ashcroft. Langford O’Sullivan

I’m not sure about Powell or your whole defence
Is Callaghan an option? He looked terrific in the match sims and the opening round.
r2 bye im getting him the week after
Not til round 2
Yeah he is. People waiting for after his first bye may be paying quite a bit more for him.
If you don’t have many on the bye, you could grab him now

What to do with 331k
A. Upgrade NOD to Callaghan
B. Upgrade subs
C. Hewett to Cumming
D. Something else (suggestions please)
Cumming is likely to be rotated through Crows mids I would be hesistant on including him personally. Rozee could be a watch with his ankle injury too. Meant to be right for R1 but you never know
Likewise Camporale could be a bit touch and go. Carlton’s mid is pretty tough to break in for a first year player
Haha, remember last year when his hammy was ‘fine’, but it clearly wasn’t fine.
thank you but what should I do
Id be fixing your subs, not sure all the guys you have are gonna have great JS or make a lot of money. Then I think NOD to Callaghan. Id be looking at cash cows like Finn O’Sullivan, LAshcroft in the middle for subs, maybe Bo allan in Def
Thank you so much
Shags can you put your name up as a Celebrity Player..
Have 5 could do with a 6th.
I appreciate the call out but I’m hardly a celebrity lol (I wouldn’t even know how to do that). I’m more than happy to join your league tho :)
The only thing Shannon is famous for is making bad trades :)
Good Luck in 2025

Anyone
Sorry was that a question ?
Hey guys, I’m stuck with what to do for my M3 and M5 positions…
1. Taranto or Petracca
and
Cumming or O’Driscoll
2. Rozee
and
O’Driscoll
3. Oliver
and
Cumming or O’Driscoll
4. Oliver and Cerra
Oliver and Cumming/O’Driscoll (option 3) gives me enough cash to upgrade my utility to Garcia which would allow me to then put Garcia into my mids giving me only 2 on-field rooks in midfield or into my forward line giving me no on-field forward rooks. I’m just unsure if my mids would be too weak having Oliver at M3 because I’m not 100% sold on him being “back”.
I think Oliver is a must have, Even if he fails he will fail for more than 50% of comp. Low Risk
If Cerra can stay on the park i see him in the 90-100 range, I am starting both.
Good Luck in 2025
Everything aside, who averages more & why? Sam De Koning or James Peatling.
Depends on role really.
Good Luck in 2025

Stuck for M1
Do whatever fits your structure if you’re keen on a lot of mid pricers maybe Rozee is your M1. If not it could be Dawson or Brayshaw

Nice team but I think Sinclair could be out for the start of the season. Recent news said he is a test for round one but don’t think you can start him with a interrupted pre season.
Ash or Stewart I know that Ash has the early bye but his breakeven is only 3.
True facts Roberts or Ash
Thoughts on Jackson at R2?
You could go with him until some of your rookies on your bench need downgrading then upgrade him to an english or xxerri
he’s never worked for me playing as a forward
Callaghan M3
Who are you
What is matt roberts break even
Change your name
His breakeven is 32 and pls change your name!!

Anyone considering Bergman, cheap at 770. Scored 108 in Community Series Albeit vs the Saints, but without Houston surely everything would go through him down back. Averaged 75 last year and really feel like he could take off. Give me your thoughts.
Similiar thinking but I am going Logan Evan over Bergman. Evans more of a Houston type player with Bergman playing more lockdown
Thoughts appreciated please brothers and sisters

I know I’ve done defensively heavy which hurts my midfield slightly, just don’t trust any of the defence rooks.
Tsatas or Peatling? who avgs more
