I was surprised too when I checked, just can't trust his body though personally.

I've moved to more of a guns n rookies approach, still got a fair few midpricers but I cut out Cousins and Rocky. 5 midpricers in the mids seemed a bit much and I like having another uber premo in Cogs. Still kept both Sheed and Brouch as I'm hopefuly one of them will end up as my M8. Same thing in the backline, I expect one of Smith and Williams to become D8 by season's end, with an average of around 95 (most likely Williams).
Def: Lloyd, Crisp, Smith, Williams, Clark, Duursma
Mids: Cogs, Bray, Mrouch, Sheed, Brouch, Libba, Walsh, Scott
Ruc: Gawn, Goldy
Fwd: Danger, Boak, Telly, Worpel, Setterfield, Drew
So 6 rookies on field but I'm hopeful they should all manage 60s. I don't mind letting go of Cousins, cash gen is important but you still need to start picking enough keepers. Think there is more than enough players in my team that will go up in price. Besides, Scott just needs to stay within 20 points of Cousins to be making cash just as quickly.
Letting go of Rocky was the hardest but he essentially got turned into Cogs who I think will be a top 3 mid. Rocky will be the very first upgrade target the moment he starts showing some ceiling. I don't mind waiting a bit and paying 650k for him, still a bargain.

If I select him at F4 he will likely be my first upgrade, so he only needs to survive the first 6-8 games without breaking down. I think he can do that

That's one of my concerns, having B Crouch and an Elliot/McCarthy, that's 2 injuries waiting to happen.
Found two ways to get Selwood into my team, curious as to whether people think it's worth it or not -
Original Side:
DEF: Whit, Crisp, B. Smith, Williams, Ridley, Scrimshaw (170K, Burgess)
MID: Bray, Treloar, Taranto, Rocky, Brouch, Sheed, Libba, Walsh (Scott, Atkins)
RUCK: Gawn, Phillips (A. Smith, Cameron)
FWD: Danger, Boak, Telly, Worp, Setters, Drew (Petrucelle, Balta)
1st Alternative Side
DEF: Witho, Crisp, B. Smith, Williams, Clark, Scrimshaw, (170K, Burgess)
MID: Bray, Treloar, Selwood, Taranto, Rocky, Brouch, Sheed, Walsh (Scott, Atkins)
RUCK: Goldy, Phillips (170K, Cameron)
FWD: Danger, Boak, Telly, Worp, Setters, Drew (Petrucelle, Balta)
OR
2nd Alternative Side
DEF: Witho, Crisp, B. Smith, Williams, Clark, Scrimshaw, (170K, Burgess)
MID: Bray, Trel, Sel, Taranto, Rocky, Brouch, Sheed, Walsh (Scott, Atkins)
RUCK: Gawn, Phillips (A. Smith, Cameron)
FWD: Danger, Boak, Telly, McCarthy, Setters, Drew (Petrucelle, Balta)
*****************
Players bolded are different from original side. Essentially -
I can go down from Ridley to Clark, Gawn to Goldy, Archie to basement ruck rook, Whit to Witho and then Libba up to Sel
OR
I can go from Ridley to Clark, Worpel to McCarthy, Whit to Witho and Libba up to Sel (Worpel to McCarthy is the big cash gen move)

Even the most injury prone of players are capable of putting together a durable streak even if its just for a season.

Yeah Crouch is locked in and am considering Elliott over Newnes. I think if they do get injured early though it'll be one of those typical fantasy hindsight moments.

Two best 22 vs one best 22 and a mid pricer... hmmn I reckon Option 1 but i'm anti Worpel
How would you rank Dunkley, Telly, Boak, Heeney and Worpel in terms of starting with?
I’ve kept it fairly low key so far but beginning to ramp it up. As per usual, plenty of chopping and changing!
good to see.
Are you going with the big rucks Grundy and Gawn straight up? which to me is the big question which dictates pot. structure.
My mob is looking very mid priced madness atm, I'm a sucker for punishment.
Grundy and Martin currently, still not 100% across what Melbourne are doing with their rucks. Every chance I swap back to Gawn if Preuss not named round 1, but the extra cash is handy. I've even considered Goldstein but I'm not sure if I'm ready to get burnt again...
looking at Melbs. injury list it's starting to look like a pick who's available. seen print saying Preuss has groin issues and needs to develop in the two's before coming in. clear as mud. G/L, good to see you about
Same to you! I'll be around these parts again now for the season. All the best.looking at Melbs. injury list it's starting to look like a pick who's available. seen print saying Preuss has groin issues and needs to develop in the two's before coming in. clear as mud. G/L, good to see you about
Thoughts on Witts vs Goldy as R2? Witts seems a value pick for about 3k more.

What was his scoring like when he was on the pies list?

rock my world
Worth considering. New leadership role and a great start to the season - Sts (Pierce), Freo (Darcy), Bullies (??), Carlton (Phillips?).
I currently have Goldy but have been thinking about changing to Witts. I just have a feeling with the new ruck rules he could definitely benefit with a few extra clearances at his height to take his average into the 100s. But don't think either option is bad.
Looks like anyone taking the gamble on Roberton will have to restructure.
Shame for him and the saints, was a good player

What's your thoughts on Ridley, Moore and Milera? Iv'e heard 'elite' supercoachers saying Ridley and Moore are midpriced mistakes considering a rookie will make more money.Can Milera average 95 to 100, the crows do like to pass it around in the back half.
