[Maybe Tomorrow]

First of many....too many mid-pricers but hey.

 

[Saints4ever]

Just spent 5 minutes throwing darts at the board.

Rookies are place holders.

Pick me apart and tell me what needs fixing.

Fort?

 

[SELFCONFESDAFLNERD]

Actually, i think this one is better

Looks fine to me, not sure about Lalor or FOS though.

I really like this a lot but the rucks worry me.

 

[SELFCONFESDAFLNERD]

Fort?

Placeholder. I can easily upgrade him. One more go. Looking at $400k+ in the bank ideally. This side is basically priced at the maximum that im going to select. I'm definitely going to use the money in the bank strategy this season. I really like the forwardline and midfield mid-pricers and there are a couple backs (Mills & Coleman) that ive locked in.

Not sure Coleman is a lock for round 1.

 

[SELFCONFESDAFLNERD]

Not sure Coleman is a lock for round 1.

Yeah, might be ambitious but if he is available, im bullish on him.

 

[Saints4ever]

I can never leave money in the bank.

It’s the smart play but I always feel I’m not optimising my squad with cash left over.

Wish I could try this strategy but can never bring myself to leave anymore than 50k in the bank.

Im giving it a go given $400k is essentially one rookie upgrade to a premium which may be worth say 70 points per week. With that 400k in the bank it can hopefully facilitate trades that will help 'catch up' those early lost points and allows a lot of flexibility. If the rookie can appreciate by say 150k then you are 550k better off and its a matter of spreading that 550k around to help get back the 'lost points.' The flex actually helps this strategy as it allows one score to be dropped so that additional on-field rookie may drop out of the 22 - maybe that helps the 70 points become 60 ish per week.

 

[Veer Right]

First crack

Ruck3 will be Boyd when they add him. Might play/Sunday games/Ruck-Forward/99k

 

[Choppers]

Yeah, might be ambitious but if he is available, im bullish on him.

I am too......but the word is he probably won't be ready for the early rounds and has R3 bye as well. I might look at him RD4+

 

[turtles]

What is Isaac Cummings role at the crows expected to be?
Were people happy with Riley Bonner last year? Similar price also starting as mid only

 

[Libbaaaa]

Rankine is a lock for me.

 

[Savage Kent]

Well people, I’ve finally cracked the code.

Here it is, the team that’s going to take home the big one this season. The rest of you are simply
placeholders.

Resistance is futile.

Bask in the glory that is the 2025 SuperCoach championship team.

Needs a bit more Chol.

 

[St Steady]

cant leave out captain livingstone, like theres a risk he's a real person

although somehow he's gone up in price

 

[Better Loosen Up]

Hi guys. Made my first team and I hate it!

Cheers

 

[4tune8]

Potentially 18 keepers

[adammania9]

Fort?

I dig the Fort selection but only at R3 and unfortunately he isn't DPP. I'll be shocked if Hipwood is expected to second ruck - there's a spot for Fort or Henry Smith in that side

There's also a chance Big O could miss early games

 

[gutsroy]

Aah, so the picker is up and running? Will try take have a gander.
Hope Darcy Parish got a decent discount, he might be one to breed up to a big boi, but they might play funny buggers with the discounts as is their wont. Yeah, talking to you, Al Paton, if you are reading this. Stop toying with our emotions.
Doesn't really matter a heap what B Smith, J Macrae and Oliver cop, if they look the goods, everyone will be picking them.
Where did big TDK land price-wise on the ruck front? Any value there?
Any potential number one rucks coming in at big discounts? You could go a cheap ruck for the flex spot if one presents.

 

[gutsroy]

Gee whiz, only flicked through this page, but you mob are UP and ABOUT, you've come back to pre-season champing at the bit.
Looks like you've put in big training blocks off your own bats down the dunes, Scoops has gone more the way of Travis Johnstone at a Torquay caravan park.
