It's all good I'm just being a smart ass.

Yep. I know. Like I said. I'm sure it will come back to bite me.
probably gone a bit heavy on the rookies in the backline and still unsure what to do with R2

Any in-put on the above would be appreciated. Obviously bench rookies are subject to change.
Areas of concern I have are Boak, Cousins, Merret and Logue.
Regarding Cousins and Logue, is something like Clarke and LDU better than Cousins and Logue?
Merret stays in the side because I trust the numbers from last season. However, if he capitulates and looks fat again in this JLT he may be gone.

Known for his notoriously hot starts - tough to leave him out of the side with their draw as well. But also tough to fit more than one of those big boys in.... the struggle is real

G'day guys, what's your thoughts on this team? Plenty of tinkering to come, will always be nervous with having a Crouch bro in my team, let alone two.
Laird, Lloyd, Newman
Smith, Williams, Hore (Burgess, Watson)
Coniglio, Cripps, MCrouch, BCrouch
Libba, Walsh, Hind, Gibbons (Atkins, Bewely)
Grundy, GawnDog (Cameron, Fort)
Danger, Heeney, Menengola
Setterfield, Cavarra, Parker (Corbett, Drew)

AGhhhhh here we go. This season has been one of the hardest to pick a team i reckon.
I don't have Macrae but that 90k gap to the nearest mid really helps free up cash elsewhere. He has been in out of my side though, usually at the expense of Merrett and Lloyd.
Pretty settled now with Goldy at R2. Don't think it's wise to go cheap there, and I see Gawn as being at his peak really.
Rookies are always heinous to pick, my tactic is usually just chuck in whoever's named round 1, which usually ends in failure but always a few surprises.
Pretty happy with this and I can only see 1 or 2 big changes happening from now until teams are named round 1
Re Logue: probably better JS than any of the rookies but I think his output is quite low, Clarke or Duursma better scorers and cash gen but weaker JS.
Cousins is awkwardly priced for me, for 60k more you could have Libba or a 100k less players like Caldwell/ UDL
F3 is a headache,
nothing wrong with that team
Nice mix of premos, midpricers and rooks
Locked for me. You only need to look at his scores over the first 2 months of 2017 & 2018.
Some $$ spent down back.
I'd cull top priced Devon Smith til his role is defined to fund your ruck upgrade
Z.Clarke to Gawn
then $236 or less on a fwd if any options present.

In preseason you want to lean more towards players you think are bargains. Laird isn't really a bargain at all. He will probably hover at his price. You can get guys like that later

Have to be careful with this thinking though. I understand that guys like Laird and Lloyd are expected to stagnate, but this doesn’t mean they aren’t worth starting. Have to keep in mind it’s not as simple as trading a rookie down once they’ve earned their money, and trading a midpricer up to one of them if they fall a little because in all likelihood that’ll never happen. It’ll take 2 weeks of trading and 4 trades in total to actually make the money to be able to then trade to get them in your team. All the while your team slowly falls behind others that don’t have that on their plate. Obviously there are different strategies where this may not be the case but for the most part it’s not as simple as not starting with any of the top picks just because they don’t represent much value

Verdict on this Ridley bloke? Has looked solid over JLT

Starting Grundy and Gawn something has to give...may as well be the mids as it’s where we find the best rooks this year. That said, it’s not for me - I have Brouch and Libba at M5 and M6.
I don’t mind the Trac selection if you can justify it. But combined with Dunkley (questions over role) and Worpel (second year player, Clarko) it seems very risky.

Priced at 11.4 points below what he averaged last year, so could be a good cheap option. I know **** all about him other than that though.

Is seriously cheap. Not too far a reach to go him over a rookie too. Would love to know his JS... DynamiteDons ?
yep just offed him after tonight, gone for goldy instead of gawn and allows me to get ridley in defence and worpel up forward for smith
is gawn playing this weekend? will see how he goes then to fully decide

Ok, i counter that by saying if you buy all the best players, you are going to have to make up a lot of money elsewhere, especially for that extra 170K you probably had to start now because you lacked funds. You are also making up for that extra rookies lower point production, not to mention job security potentially coming into play. Price per point is price per point, no matter how it is sliced. You should always demand that preseason, and frankly, during the season as well. Buy low, buy low, buy low. That said, i understand the limited trades as well, so always find KEEPER bargains

Well of course you can’t start with all the best players. It’s not possible. That’s why so many speculative picks and midpricers come into play for everyone. For example, I’ll be starting a lot more midpricers this year than I have previously to negate having too many rookies on the field with shaky job security. At the end of the day this is why teams are so unique. I for one will be paying up for at least one of those top guys to start with because I believe the points they’ll generate initially will be too great to miss out on, and that in turn will make it far too hard to get them into my team at a later date with any ease
