Definitely no Pink!

Pink won't score great but has decent J's I reckon.
Not sure either way.

I don't care about the bubble. We have 40 trades. Gotta get the best of the best. If I miss one price rise, it's not the end of the world, as I get an extra score.Suns/GWS players on the bubble RD2
Might pay to make some notes

keep sheezel and the two must haves. the rest can be replaced by other similar players from another team. ldu shouldnt be that much better than anyone else around his price. wardlaw and powell are just like any other awkwardly priced midpricers.

Sheezel - role consistency/tag threat turning me off a bit. Nothing too wrong with the pick, but I'd personally prefer Houston around that mark.
LDU - injury risk, (likely) bad team, better, safer options around the price point IMO (i.e. Butters, Dawson, Serong etc).
Wardlaw - not for me. Bad price point, substantial injury risk.
Powell - maybe, depending on how he looks this week. Not a bad pick as there's plenty of other, cheaper mid-priced forwards you could correct to if needed.
McKercher and Lazzaro - absolutely.
Xerri - no.

I’ve already got Butters & Serong
LOL - the funny thing is I see LDU as fair value, but Dawson expensive - go figure!

On my radar(ish), but would want to see a really big performance this week to convince me. Similar to Powell though, him being more expensive is actually quite appealing as it's an easy corrective trade if he turns out to be a bust.
At the moment, I'm more inclined to look down the Billings/Fyfe (yikes)/Harmes path, but Powell/Fisher could find their way in still.
I’m actually a little jealous of this team, Kent
It’s like you’ve finally stopped been in a trance and blinded by Hurns mesmerising glistening thighs
I havent even looked at the byes, am not settled on M1 or Heeney but structure wise I’m going all in on MPM up forward unless my sphincter explodes in Round 0

There’s not much point ruling players in or out until this weeks match sims are done, imo.

McKercher and Laz are must have's like you say.
I think Sheezel will play mostly defense with a bit of time in the midfield. My main concern with him is that he will start getting tagged a bit more often. He was already attracting attention from some teams last year.
It really is 'take your pick' out of those other 4. All have their upsides and downsides but I would only go with one of the four. I guess whoever best fits your team structure maybe.

15 Round 0 players! That's a fair effort!
Obviously you haven't seen the post confirming the Brownlow Curse otherwise you woudn't be touching Neale with a 10 foot pole!

buttox - I'm glad to have come to this decision prior to the injury news.
Bad for Wardlaw, but it justifies the SC thinking
It's a massive leap of faith to take him now if he doesn't play the game this week.

This is my thinking too atm - leave money in the bank
It will be interesting to track how we go against sides that have spent all their cash
But, I'm only looking at holding half of what you are leaving on the table

Or straight swap to Sheldrick if you don't have him?

He's been a fixture of my team all off-season, but sadly I think I agree.
Thing is, if he kills it for the first two games, we've got 40 trades this year to get him in.

Was happy with my team previously, and then as we do, continued to tinker a change things. Now this is where I'm at and not even sure if it's any better haha. Bit over $30k in the bank.

No Daicos, Bont, or Petracca/Oliver. Tried something a little different.. Too risky?
