Can't have 22 midfielders.

Dogs are trying

If push comes to shove, can always trade out Dunkley for a Tom Bell or Allen Christensen (Bris) or a rookie that pops up (currently running with Venables, Ryan, Fritsch & ZGL).

Good to have a plan with these risky types.
I've got exit plans on all my mid priced players

I also have a plan if things go wrong:

Yeah, agreed. My current predicament is running with 6 premos + 1 mid pricer + 4 rookies in the midfield that leaves me playing one too many forward rookies that lack JS but that midfield looks brilliant though.

That's my structure too .....won't change that in the midfield

But still managed to bat to F5 ok with one on-field F Rookie

Who were you running with in the forwards?

Must be runnings shy somewhere else to bat so deep up forward too?

Lids? You have huge balls sir.

At F5 .....is it that big a risk though? ......is he a better prospect than Bundy ?

Don't think there is much risk of Lids scoring ok but he's a huge risk injury wise. No idea what the rest of your team looks like so you might be comfortable with him. I don't like Bundy either, never been a great scorer and I think most people have him out of desperation from the forward rookie wasteland.

Lids is my Boom or Dangerfield money

For pod reasons im thinking of dumping Petracca for fellow Demon Neale Bullen.

Personally think he has the scope to go much larger but also very prone to poor roles on gameday which can make his scores even more sub par. High risk - high reward

I have Robbie Gray in my line up but read somewhere that he is not playing round 1. Is this true and if so when will he return?

Round 2

 

[pulpdriver]

Is it stupid to have Danger and Gray in the starting team? I expect both to be top 5 by position by the end of the year but potentially a lot of money sitting on the bench for the first round and a strong start is imperative in Supercoach.

 

[Old Stuckup]

Yeah, agreed. My current predicament is running with 6 premos + 1 mid pricer + 4 rookies in the midfield that leaves me playing one too many forward rookies that lack JS but that midfield looks brilliant though.

How many you got? Reckon you could perhaps have 3 but ideally one or two.

Yes it is silly .....i've been racking my brain to do the same thing .....trust me, the only outcome is a stress headache

Currently have 4 (two playing) and a mid pricer at F4. Call me dumb but it works if all those forward rookies do in fact play

 

[atlas1]

Got 501k to spend on a F4. Already got Menegola, Greene and Billings. Do I go for Devon/Sicily and have some cash left over or go the whole hog on Dahl?

Article in the Herald Sun about Roughy. Played through all games last year even when the cancer treatment was affecting the nerves in his feet:

By September 2016 the drugs had over-stimulated Roughead’s immune cells and they began turning on his body, resulting in a hepatitis-like disease in his liver.

But the treatment had also affected the cancer and in December 2016 his body was remarkably free of the disease, just seven months after a return of melanoma threatened his life.

When he started pre-season training last year Roughead thought his feet had returned to 90 per cent feeling, but later realised he was having issues.

“I got back and played every game but until the mid-season break some coaches said I was not kicking the ball as well and I did not have the agility I used to have.

“It was probably only the last five or six games last year and this preseason, the coaches are saying I am looking a lot better than at this time last year.

“I would say I was 90-95 per cent to them, but maybe I was only 80-85 per cent.”

Imagine going through that plus your wife is pregnant with your first kid, and being named skipper. Sounds like Rough has had a far better preseason this year, and if we get the ball down to him enough, he could easily be a top 10 forward.

Probably my Hawke bias coming through but thought I'd share.

that kent.

Any love for Toby Greene? Yes he has had an interrupted PS, yes he is a flog and yes he scored poorly in JLT2, but should come out firing R1. Feel like a lot of people are taking risks on the likes of Trac, Smith, Walters, McLean etc to breakout but when it comes to finals later in the year, I’d feel much better with Greene in my side than any of the above.

Edit: come finals I want a fwd line looking like: Heeney, Buddy, Billings, Greene, Gray and one of the breakout players (Smith)... not a fwd line of McLean, Walters, Petracca, Smith, Sicily and one star

I'm one that jumped on his break out 2016 scores, can get some nice scores but the games he misses hurt.
Still a big fan of the Fugly campaigner... in 3-4 years when the imbecile gene has receded.
