The forwards I like, though wondering if Smith is just paying full price

Personally, i am punting on Rucks early. They are both full price, at best. Just add them later. I think this "set them and forget them" ideas about rucks are ridiculous. Never pay full price unless you intend them to be your captain

Mid i like except Gaff. Hes another full pricer IMO. Tons of value at mid. Also would pass on Walsh and Stocker. I know how hyped up they are, but they are still rookies. Go for 170s. More to gain

Def i like except Laird. He feels a bit full price too. Too many good players on sale
Brodie will be most people's captain.

My current lineup minus the "filler". I have had Redden in and out a bit, but those big 7 scores he had keep pulling me in. Two of them during the Finals. IMO he's my only big money, sort of "guess" pick. The rest i feel i will be rolling with. The others obviously are there to make bank. Leaves me just a hair under 200K each for the other spots. So i can spend up a bit here and there, if i really feel i must. Thoughts?

Thats a big yikes from me
 
More detail please
You'll likely really struggle with cash generation, the premium mids (while good in theory) will need tweaking come the end of the year as some will likely be outside of a top 10 mid, your defence is rather speculative (not a bad thing, just my thoughts), rucks are extremely speculative and I would assume that there will be struggles fielding 3x200k rookies + Setterfield each week in the forwards

If i thought i would have to replace a lot of these players eventually, your reply would make absolute sense. I just don't agree that i will likely have to though. I think i will only need to add 3 D, 1-3 Mids (Redden and MAYBE Adams, though i feel they showed all the signs), obviously 2 rucks (I am just trying to pick a couple who will have job security and gain some value so the eventual Grundy-Gawn upgrades arent too painful) and 4 fwds. So that's 10-12 spots. I suppose its a matter of personal taste on players. I feel you don't care for my mids, which is cool. If i am right about my mids though, and they become rolling premiums like i think they can, i wont really need to generate a TON of cap. I am just trying to get as many spots filled with Rollers as i think i can, right now, and hoping i am right. I also am not a big fan of too many rookies in my starting lineup, esp at mid. Fwd and D i don't mind so much.

Thanks for your reply though, rooted in great logic
 
How likely do you think it is that Walsh and Stocker suit up for round 1? Fair chance I'll pick both if they do.
Walsh will be ther Round 1 and will play 22 games. Stocker is a far less certain prospect. We have a host of young midfielders alrready and we will have to wait and see for the JLT if he makes the squad round 1.

That's a bold move cotton... I'd drop Hunter and select another forward premium. And that's without looking at the rucks. Don't mind the other selections although I'd try and slip Neale into a better premium if possible.

Hurn - Lloyd
Neale/Beams - M. Crouch
Hunter - Walsh
FWD Rookie - Dangerfield

Then use any spare cash you have to upgrade Ruckman.

That's what i'd go.

Personally I don't see Neale, Hunter or Beams as Top 8 MIDS.
 
Mid priced madness out my way currently...

D: Lloyd, Witherden, B Smith, Z Williams, B Lynch, S Collins - Eagles, Burgess

M: Macrae, Cripps, Martin, Hannebury, Miles, Liberatore, S Walsh, O Baker - Hayes, Constable

R: Grundy, Martin - Sweet, Xerri

F: D Smith, Danger, Dunkley, Setterfield, McAdam, Cavarra - Ballenden, Kozi

Personally, i'd pick your one or two favourites and try and cut one. Chances that one of them succeeds... highly likely. Chance they all suceed. Very slim.

Agreed, I suspect over the JLT two will be upgraded/downgraded once the better rookies are identified
 
draft 1.jpg
Draft 1 -
Hanners could easily become Williams at D4 or even a decent 500K type forward, he is kind of a floater.
Might still play around with Witho and see what else that brings as would like Williams at D4 ideally but I cannot make money appear. I am not feeling the Kruze at R2 just yet, but I also know that Gawn down to someone brings in alot of cash to play with. I would prefer set and forget Rucks regardless of making money, if i am never trading out then their price doesn't really matter.
Im sure a lot will change but its a starting point
 

I will say what i say to many others. I feel like you have a lot of full pricers here: Grundy, Gawn, Menegola, Westhoff (plus he's an 11th year breakout which I think is kind of odd) and Fyfe. Fyfe also had a knee surgery to clean it up somewhat recently also. I would have loved to add him too but that keeps me away. He is at the top of my upgrade watch list though. I really like a lot of your other picks though. Especially sticking to cheap rookies. Crouch is another one at the top area of my watch list too. Although I didnt use him, Liberatore is an intriguing idea for sure
 
Decided to change things up a bit and took out Preuss for Clarke. Doing that and dropping Hannebery let me re-insert Danger at forward. This puts me up against the wall on salary though and will force me to go all 170s. Of course, if i don't find enough worthwhile 170s, this will have to change. Liking how it looks though

Rev 2 (I will probably stop counting now).

Lloyd, Witherden, B Smith, Z Williams, S Collins, Rookie - Rookie, Rookie

Macrae, Cripps, Kelly, Martin, Miles, Liberatore, Rookie, Rookie - Rookie, Rookie

Grundy, Martin - Rookie, Rookie

D Smith, Danger, Dunkley, Setterfield, Cavarra, Rookie - Rookie, Rookie
 
Not a big fan of starting this early but i thought id give it my January crack.

Not many on Laird. He will still be a top 2 defender. The man doesn't give a f**k about kick outs! They run him through the mid rotations and he just finds the pill. Him and Smithers are the kind of guys who count their stats.

As for smithers can drop Ryan which allows me to go Naismith up to English. Just feel Ryan has the potential to go 90+

Steele had a monster season and a wrote a little piece about him in the 2019 planing thread. Ranked 10th mid in the last five games. Can see him pushing 105+.

Devon and Danger are the only two standout top 6 forwads on offer. Devon avg 114 in his last HALF on the season and 115 in his last 5. Those are premo mid numbers!

R2 will be the biggest difference this season. I dont see any value in going Martin/Goldy when they are ageing. If english or naismith can get with 15 points of them i see that as a win.
