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
D: Sheezel, Short, Roberts, Freijah, Weddle(??), SDK (Leake, Busslinger)
M: Anderson, Rozee, Oliver, Docherty, Hollands, Tsatas, Ashcroft, Langford (O’Sullivan, Camporeale)
R: Xerri, TDK (Boyd)
F: Rankine, Macrae, Sanders, Smith, Daniel, Davidson (Kako, Warner)
U: El-Hawli
$40k
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
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
Fwd: JHF Macrae Sanders Smith Daniel Garcia. Davidson Stone
Utl: Boxshall
Bank: 8k
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
Sheezel NWM Short Roberts Perryman Reid (Busslinger Leake)
Rozee Washcroft Oliver Day Cerra Hollands NOD Hewett(L.camporale Boxshall)
TDK Xerri (Boyd)
Macrae Sanders Smith Daniel Garcia Davidson(C.Warner Stone)
Kako
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
