I’m not sure what to do with McKercher, Brayshaw, Hewett and possibly Docherty. If Schoenmaker isn’t selected I will most likely find a way to get him to SDK
Thoughts appreciated
I would swap Mckercher to Short and rivers to perryman or freijah
Defence now: Sheezel, Short, Roberts, Freijah, SDK, Arie. Also have gotten rid of Hewett and put Davidson on field with Hannaford F8
Good call DH4
The shoemaker has been absent all preseason – dont count on him being selected. I reckon McKercher will be one of those players that will go 95, then 75, then 90, then 80 … and just frustrate you till the mid season byes. I dont see huge value in him. Short or Perryman

I feel way too reactionary going from Peatling to Hollands. I feel like that might hurt me but it does look like the Crows will rotate a lot of midfielders this season. Also Freijah is a big question mark based on Dale and I’m not too happy with SDK.
Can I also have both Sheldrick and O’Driscoll? They both make sense and have some job security but I worry I’m going too mid-priced madness
good team. Sheldrick a good pick to be PODish
Thoughts please? :)

Lalor will be out to begin with. Might be worth upgrading him to Nathan O’Driscoll or Sheldrick.
Also, Travaglia and Allan both might not be round 1 debuts. I only feel comfortable with fielding one rookie defender tbh
Thanks mate much appreciated!
Everyones talking Kako. His JS should be good, but if he avergaes 50ish, the value gain isnt as high as you would want from a rook. Im on the fence with Kako
Not set on SDK in the defence so I’ve been thinking of swapping Rankine to Sanders giving me $361,000 to upgrade. Any suggestions? Thanks

I watched SDK on the weekend. It looks like he’s a season away from being able to hold his own there. I can see the cats rotating through the rucks as they have done so for a couple seasons. Pass for me
I think Sanders is the better choice. Having 100k left ain’t a bad ideas either. If Roberts or Perryman go up a bit you will be able to get a premo who has dropped after only a few rounds
Thinking of changing Brayshaw to either Rozee, LDU or Trac. Who’s the best out of those?

17k left. Have been experimenting for a bit. Any advice?
Im starting B.Smith and McCrae as mids. If I end up with a dud fwd mid-pricer like Rankine, Daniels, Baker, I can trade them out and replace with one of the latter, and then bring in a fallen premo. I notice everyone is not putting DPPs in the mids. Thoughts on this strategy?
Having one DPP in the mids is good for subbing if needed. But in general, there are better mids than fwd options. So put you
DPP mids in the fwd line. Everyone will have MacRae and smith in the forwards.
I don’t really like it since you could be missing out on some good mid pricers in the midfield.

I think Newman is out for the season.
Yeah, ok, got Stewart in instead
Are you considering perryman?
Heaps of value in the mids this year. Thats where you should spend that 600k
I’ve been pretty average at fantasy the last few years, so I thought I’d come back on here to see if you guys can help…

Forward line looks good. Maybe consider getting Taranto out for Oliver to get some cash. and move cumming up to someone else. Just my thoughts.
Cheers Noah, will consider that. Wasn’t sold on Taranto and was considering moving Cumming down to O’Driscoll to get some more cash.

I ended up downgrading Noah Anderson to Will Ashcroft so I could upgrade Freijah to Lachie Ash for a POD.
I have 407k in the bank please let me know how I should spend it.
1. I could upgrade Bice to SDK but don’t really like what I saw from him.
2. Upgrade Cerra to Dawson though I think Cerra can add 20 to his average.
3. Get in Rankine for Garcia.
4. Get in Nasiah for freijah
Please let me know what you think.
I don’t think any of those options are great. I think Garcia and Freijah have a good upside. Upgrading Bice might be the way to go but SDK is not the answer – hopefully another defender-mid pricer presents.
Yeah I am kind of on the same page but don’t want 400k lying around
Bit of a reshuffle could get hall to rankine but for me Davidson at F6 scores 60 and rankine only 30 points better.
Here is my team at the moment so much leftover cash would really appreciate help on what to spent is on. Not the worst problem to have 🤣.

Any thoughts would be much appreciated, a bit of mid price madness this year.
Most positions I’m set on, still deciding between one of H. Garcia, M. Knevitt & A. Sheldrick.
Good team. I’d proably downgrade daicos to someone like a hollands and upgrade langford to a sheldrick or driscoll. I dont like the rookies this year. Dont reckon they will get much game time. I’d also have hewett on bench and put garcia in fwd.
Goodluck on the season mate.

Id try get ashcroft on bench. Doubt he will get much TOG. Maybe put Sanders in mid and Garcia in fwd (just a thought). Maybe downgrade day to sanders and upgrade one of your mid rookies to driscoll. He has good upside.
Goodluck!
If Ashcroft isn’t getting much TOG then who should replace him i was thinking either Kako or Luke Kennedy

Jayden Nguyen. Will he play in 2025???
Not sure what to do with the 301. I reckon im gonna use it in the midfield somewhere…
Unsure about the amount of rookies on your field I would try narrow it down a touch.
Anderson vs Brayshaw vs Daicos vs Dawson
5 Players named on the bench. Do 4 commence the game on the Bench and a
Fifth Player gets the Green Vest and can only come on when a player is injured
or the coach wants a player replaced.
If that was a question, then yes you’re correct

I don’t like having SDK who could I swap him for with 74k remnaing
Could Levi Ashcroft be a M8 option over the likes of O’driscoll or Hewett
100%
Anyone else having D1 issues???
Don’t really like many options.
Was keen on Sicily but the 81 put me off.
Should i get Nasiah, Holmes, Clark, Stewart or any other suggestions??

Debating whether to leave like this currently (pending team announcements) OR swap out Short for SDK, which allows me to put Sanders in my FWD line instead of Davidson – second option gives me 3 rooks on ground rather than 4.
Looks good I would definitely try and get sanders but moving down short is not the way.
Good team. Just swap out gibcus whose still injured I believe
would now drop daicos, will drop in price after 66, go get him later.
