Version 10 or so.

Really would appreciate some feedback/help with the following:

Keep tossing up between Moore and Rankine at F2, Izak burned me with injury/suspension last year but he has the ability to go huge.

English continues to have a body made of glass, do I keep the faith or swap him for a Xerri/Meek type?

Anything else that stands out with the team would be great!

I think you are missing value in the 200-500k range. Many options.

I suppose with Laird going back the defence will look a little different. I do think Milera plays if he's fit though. Played 22 games in 2023, then had a freak accident last year. I just don't like the cheap options down back. If Milera plays and stays fit, he should be good for 70-75, and with the odd spike game, he can make good money. In 2023 he made it ~$450k.

Have Milera and Sinn at D5 and D6. If cheap rookies appear, then I'll downgrade, pocket $200k and use it elsewhere.

If you had to choose one, surely Sinn over Milera - right?

Yep, Sinn for sure. A few posters have turned me off Milera, the Crows backline is stacked.

With some good news coming out about cheap rookies, I've since binned them both and am running cheapies at D5 and D6.

Same reason i went cold on Cumming. Hard to break into that defence.

Anyone specifically you'd slot in to my lineup?

Oliver, Peatling and Daniel would be at the top of a lot lists. You should consider them before ruling them out.

Someone got to pick up on Houston’s points

Not sure if Boyd at flex will work but it helps with team set up.
Taranto over Rankine at this stage.
Briggs / Jackson due to price vs potential.
Only $14k in bank though.

Depending on how Boyd does in the preseason matches and how Marshall is tracking in the lead-up to rd1, Boyd at flex could be a good option. The extra cash certainly helps.

Archer Reid ($120k RUCK/FWD) is getting a lot of talk in the preseason, he's a chance to replace Darling in the Eagles fwdline. Might be too raw though, only 19 or 20 yo and over 200cm.

He's hanging out at R3 for me

I've got Peatling as my Flex, gives me more options to swap with for an early gamer in the guts.

What's the point of even making a pre-season team when you can't put the C on big Will Gould

 

[Spacedog]

Bakery role at WC ?
Watch list.

HB, im strongly considering him. I think if he gets the main HB role plus some kick ins he’ll go 90+

Rankine will get mid time so i’d go for him. I liked English as well but recent injury news has put me off him slightly

pretty sure he has an ingrown hair on one of his toes, he'll miss 6-8weeks I reckon.

Crows were missing drive off HB last year, and it impacted their ball movement ......one of Milera or Cumming will be designated QB .....it won't be Laird

More minge ?

 

[A Bit Dusty]

More minge ?

That normally happens once Winter sets in....

 

[WaynesWorld19]

More minge ?

2nd exit player ....but doesn't provide the same run, and his disposal can be inconsistent
