Teams 2025 Rate My Pre-Season Team

[A Bit Dusty]

Just a heads up kents if you didn't know you can copy & paste you team in one go clicking on this.

 

[Caztheconquerer]

Not many in your team will be top 6-8 players for each line though except for ruck. Less rookies though.

Yeah that’s the concern I have with that team, some of those players will be topped up to uber premos at some stage but wondering if it’s just better to start the Ubers and not have to worry about bringing them in

Finding a balance is the challenge i guess. See merit in it with less rookies, but later on you'll be needing to burn sideways trades to upgrade premiums who are leaking points.

I'm interested to hear what the consensus is with the amount of trades that are budgeted for corrections and injuries. I'm thinking 4 for corrections (possibly more) and 8 for injuries?

Having to upgrade a team to 23 players now, also means a reduction of access to trades as 2-3 have to be allocated for that extra position.

6 Correctional (maybe)
8 Injuries (possible)
3 Flex upgrade (2 if MP)

Could be 17 trades that have to be set aside, leaves 23 for upgrades. A rookie upgrade is probably 3 trades with an MP needing 2.

I currently have 7 rookies on field = 21 trades

MP's:

Mills
Oliver
Macrae
Smith
Phillipou
Daniel

Reckon I'll have to nail at least 5 of those picks ie: need to become keepers, if I want to finish with a full premo team

I expect Macrae, Smith, Poo, Daniel to be all forward keepers by years end and have no concerns with them at all.

 

[FAILTOSUCCEED]

Think everyone needs to settle their expectations with Pou. Averaged 58 last year, has to improve average by 40 to be a keeper.

You could say the same for Mac.

Drafted the same year as Stringer...

Pou was drafted as a mid but been barely used there.

Everything just a guide .

Major case of the 2nd year blues and was spending his time at Half forward.

Lost all his confidence and got dropped to the vfl.

Got back in the senior side and played midfield for the last part of the year.

Check out his scores in the last 4 games he played, playing midfield
112
101
85
80

Also training the house down.

They sure are but some more than others.

 

[Saints4ever]

Pou is an Alpha and will love the full time mid role.

3 pre seasons now to build up his body and running capacity.

Wants to be the best player in the league and super competitive.

I’m expecting a 95-100 average.

Nope. Full premo is 23 plus a playing midpricer. Why have 23 premos when only the best 22 count?

 

[rocker_oz33]

I guess Pou put on Se7en kegs ...

Muscle is overrated it’s all about the run.

 

[rocker_oz33]

Muscle is overrated it’s all about the run.

Run away from the ball .

Hopefully running away with the ball...

 

[southport stars]

Is this a joke? Macrae proven history of 110+ as a mid.

Agree he will grow a lot, but just saying we dont know yet how much this year. also Macrae should play full time mid there too…

I currently own him PS.

 

[Significant]

Flanders or Sheezel to Holmes or Sicily, depending on bye situation.

Trac obviously has a cloud hanging over him atm too, could go down to Roberts/ Short type in def.

I think out of all of them, I'd rather drop Petracca. Think Sheez and Flanders are must haves.

 

['51 Bewick]

Agree on Sheezel but happy to watch Flanders in his first 2 games. He has the bye in R2. If he kills it and another mid is struggling then trade him in.

 

[A Bit Dusty]

Here is my latest creation and I'm trying to have a early and later bye friendly team.
Will avoid most of the carnage in Rounds 2,3&4 and have a great base for tackling Round 12 then afterwards trying to get in the Midfielders required over the next few rounds.
Defence already has 5 keepers and the plan will be that Coleman dosen't play the first month and possibly won't be on the bubble until rounds 6-7 will be a perfect upgrade hopefully sideways trade from a Rookie.
Rucks are hopefully Set & Forget.
Also in the Forward line they could all be keepers JHF/Rankine/Macrae/Smith/Daniel/Pou

If all goes well there could possibly only be 6-7 Premos to get over the season.

Written a few long posts on this just check out my ramblings.

Version 1.0

…. for today

Reckon Kerch and Jackson could be Top 8 (especially if Shrek’s trip to Qatar doesn’t work out)

People need to remember if he was born 3 days later he would have been in the following years draft.
The kid is still learning but is a jet ready for take off imo.
