They wouldn't dare.
Ever heard of OnlyScoops?
Oh, you haven't?
Well,.anyway, that was me, as well as the piano neck tie.

I’ve already written off 2025… all eyes on 2026

All these Kents can get flowered for the next 24 months: Rowell, English, Touk, Green, Fish & Ridley

 

[Obese Arachnid]

Pruess will be cheap.

 

[Caztheconquerer]

Never pay over 600k during the season for anyone, looking at you Luke Ryan

Yeah most "Premos" hit the $500-$550k mark at some point in the season unless their name is BONT.

Think Ryan has averaged 95 in my team since I got him this year after averaging about 130 before

Zac Fisher, lock.

Tanking for picks already?

 

[buttox]

Gawn and X starting rucks.
I will probably load up in defence.
With the tag back mids can be gotten cheaper.
No idea about forwards. Hopefully some random spud starts playing hbf

Dekoning another option for ruck

This was my downfall in 2024!

I’ve loaded up, prepared and paid up for premiums who hardly tonned up after I’ve traded them in

So, in 2025 I’m not going to pay up for these temptresses

Yep pretty much the same mate, made some really bad trades this year

 

[Saints4ever]

Meek and X the new Gawn and Grundy

 

[Veer Right]

Quick look at who's been on my mind for the different lines. No more then 110 average. (couple of exceptions)

- Still improving and has x faxctor
Nic Martin - Still improving and racks up getting the ball
NWM - Lock that shit in. Year upon year he's getting better. In fact he's much improved now then the start of the year. Can see him getting mid time. One of the first picked.
Tom Stewart - He's to old, sure, but with Chris Scott

- He is a star mid on the rise. The dogs looked much better once he started in the guts.
Gulden - Right on the price limit yet he's on the rise and we all know good he is.

Rucks

Xerri - Dominates everyone

Forwards

Rankine - Star

Expensive

Sheezel - star
Naicos - star

once he builds the tank will be unstoppable, first locked for me

 

[SELFCONFESDAFLNERD]

Going to go in with 75%+ of my team as PODs. I suck at this game as is, might as well make it fun

Like the Richards pick, may well do the same.

Flanders and Sheezel will be my expensive picks I think. Both should be defenders. Maybe Bont too. Reckon I'll FADE Daicos, with Collingwood dropping off there will be enough down games to get him cheaper.

 

[Caztheconquerer]

Really like will day as a starting pick next year, about to move into sp territory I think

He's on the watchlist for sure, only issue is he gets injuries.

There are a few that will be in the $550-600k range that appeal -

Petracca
Anderson
Young (will need to see higher TOG)
Oliver (hard to ignore if he has a good preseason could be sub $500k)
Rozee
Day
Richards

Agree with most of those mate, rozee will need to seriously impress me to get a spot in my team again, had him from the start of the year and he’s burnt me so many times this year

It's hard to trust again when they hurt you so.......

Could be the year to go very cheap in midfield. The ruck line will cost less. Might be able to get a premo in at M6. Haven't done the maths but something like.

D - Flanders, Sheezel, NWM, Coleman, Rookies x4
M - Serong, Rozee, Petracca, Young, Oliver, Day, rookies x5
R - Meek, Xerri, donut
F - Rankine, BSmith, Phillipou, rookies x5

Looks good as an early look at a potential team, will Flanders and sheezel keep def eligibility? Rookies should be pretty good this year as it seems to be a decent draft.
