You were pumping up Hanley a couple of hours ago. What happened ??

I still feel he is value. I've gone Roberton right now but if he is not named round 1 due to this "I feel wobbly" I will replace him with Hanley.
I'm worried that if he feels "wonky" after round 1 or 2, they won't want to take the risk by playing him.
Could be right. Hanley has come back in as Robbo's replacement.

If your Scott, Hayes, Bewley types are named R1 I'm likely loading up
Then for M11 it might be just Gibbons vs Atkins who are in the same boat as small forwards who are listed as midfielders only
Decimation

Any tips on this team? I should say that I am going for a cash league only win here. What are your thoughts?

Don't think it matters much at his price
If he was priced at 100-105 then sure, it'd be a concern
Your biggest issue is Longer doesn't look like he's going to play round 1, so I'm assuming Westhoff is filling in there? I think at that point you might as well go Gawn and another rookie, as it's essentially the same thing, but you've got an extra player generating cash
toxic
Hall of Famer
I'm in trouble.
I have all three.
Roberton I'd choose to, but health fears are real
Brouch I rate massively, Just awkwardly priced
I don't trust Clarko
No chance that Bewley will be playing round 1. Ross doesn't seem to rate him at all. Had one last chance to prove himself on Sunday and was given less than a half to play.
Worpel's stats from the game against Richmond:
- 92 from 60% TOG
- 13 contested possessions and 9 clearances
- Was even able to go forward and out-muscle Houli 1-on-1 in the goal square for a goal
Those are excellent numbers, regardless of the fact that he's a second year player with 11 games against his name. The take into account that's more CPs / clearances, in less game-time, than:
- O'Meara
- Martin (1 less clearance)
- Cotchin
In a time when Hawthorn is desperately crying out for a Titch replacement.
You really have a number of issues. Quaynor is a long way off playing, as is Valente, Corbett and Cavarra. Stocker has yet to play a game as well.
Burgess, Parker and Hind look like being 40 odd point players hence not earning much as cash cows.
Biggest problem, as HolyRioli said is that Longer is injured meaning you have to use Westhoff as a ruckman and play Parker on field.
Most important thing in RDT is having cash cows that make money and therefore every one of them must be named in round 1.
You have a lot of work to do.

I don't know how much stock people put into bye planning, but it is really tough this year. In the forwards there are literally zero round 14 premiums. The highest priced are Jack Riewoldt, Jack Martin and Jack Ziebell (no thanks). Compounding this is that the popular Gawndy combo share the round 13 bye, and the fact that you could feasibly have 4 of the top 6 forwards be from Geelong (Danger, Menegola, Kelly, Dahlhaus/Parfitt?). Taranto really needed to be FWD/MID.
Usually I like to have a balanced spread of premiums, tapering it so there are more in the later bye rounds. Maybe with something like a 4/5/6 split of starting premos+midpricers over the rd 12, 13 and 14 byes.
This year it is just about impossible to do that without severely compromising my structure. It doesn't help that North, GC and Richmond offer just about nothing tasty from a premium perspective (with respect to Dusty, Polec in the mids and maybe Goldy, Witts in the ruck-- all POD selections at best).
For once this year I might just say **** it for the byes and see what happens.

Very little with my starting squad - it will change that much between now and the byes, that at this point I don't think I'll bother. However, looking at it, this is where I'm at:
14 - 13 - 14
14 - 12 - 12
(13, 13)
13 - 14 - 14 - 14
12 - 12 - 12 - 14
(12, 13, 12)
13 - 13
(13)
13 - 12 - 13
12 - 13 - 14
(12, 12)
I don't think that's too overloaded in any one position, and we'll have to see how the year plays out. One thing I may consider is a R/F rookie, so if Westhoff ends up being a premium worth having, he can sub in the rucks in Round 13. That's about as much though as I'll give it

He got pulled out of Peel halfway through their game to play
I think he does rate him, just how highly? He's probably an outside chance for R1 but can see him debuting in the first 5 rounds

Just woke up actually, been trying to get into gym at the crack of dawn last few weeks when it's quiet and only your devoted types are there training, was a bit fed up with the late arvo/early evening peak rush, particularly on back and bis day, could never get in the dumbbells area as flogs would just hog the benches there
Early night last night though, was knackered, hence didn't get leagues done, but definitely will be done today
Might try and start the table now before I head off to gym

Merrett doing my head in at the moment
not sure if I should back him in as someone who can easily go 110+ or find the cash to go to a coniglio/treloar as players who are hitting the season running.
Smiliar with a toby greene v Isaac Heeny situation also (definitely can't have both the higher priced guys, and possibly none if I pay up for cousins)

Treloar will stay around the same
Feel he's just an upgrade target, Pies midfield is far too deep Pendles, Treloar, Beams, Sidebottom, Adams etc any of them could go 110. Crisp and Phillips on the outside will get a few points too
Only question mark on Zerrett is fitness is the foot/ankle right
Greene I'd only pick if you absolutely have to, feel he'll start slowly then come good back half of the season with his limited preseason.
Coniglio and Heeney is the answer here though. Cogs has gone 104 + 110 in the last 3 years, sandwiched with his injury year, he knows how to score points with or without the likes of Kelly and Ward.

conigs and heeney won't be an option
Ive currently got greene and merrett allowing me to have Cousins over Gibbons (worry about his JS and scoring)
Cousins to Gibbons allows me to turn Greene into Heeney or Merrett into Cogs with 150k change. I could also have Heeney and Treloar intros case with nothing left
So thats
Cousins + Greene + Merrett +57k
Cousins + Greene + Treloar +7k
Gibbons + Heeney + Merrett +1k
Gibbons + Greene + Coniglio +150k
(can't fit Cousins and Heeney)
I definitely get what your saying about Greene and it is my concern.
Just his ability to add 30 points to his price puts him as good a cash maker as most rookies look to be and has him even a potential F6 keeper. That just keeps sucking me in even though ive learnt the hard way before about picking midpricers off interrupted preps, as you say they often end up good enough but not at the start when you need them to (eg Jaeger in recent times)

Gibbons will be a bench mid only
How deep are you in the forwards and mids then?
If say Zerrett and Heeney equals 5 mids and 4 forwards deep for you then I'd absolutely go that option

Heeney/Greene would be F4
I have 5 prem mids- macrae, Brayshaw, Crouch x 2 then Merrett (or Treloar/Conigs)
Cousins would be M6, gibbons M8 with constable moving on field

I'd field Constable over Gibbons
Gibbons won't score well, unless he gets moved into midfield or a half forward/wing role
I'll pick 1 of Atkins/Gibbons as they're both going to play small forward, but if midfield rookies options are light then both
