AFL RDT (AFL DT) - My Team

3/4 positions look great. Not sure i will hold my nerve given my forwardline but running 6 deep in the mids looks fantastic and i'm pretty much set on my backline too.

Nice forwardline. I'm not sure about ROB personally, id probably swing McEvoy to the rucks and try to find the extra 15k you need to upgrade ROB to Lloyd. Potential trade would be Jordon to Scott/McNeil. That said, if you have faith in ROB then definitely keep it as is, getting Lloyd may not be worth changing your rookies around anyway. Just thought id offer an alternative

Strong side although it worries me having both Cox and Highmore on the field. They are both capable of giving you a 30 or less.
I've gone way outside the box by putting Flynn as my R2 alongside Grundy. This allowed me to move McEvoy to the backline hence no need to field either Highmore or Koschitkze. L Jones will be my D6. Reason for this is that I believe someone playing as a number one ruck such as Flynn will certainly outscore a lockdown defender such as Highmore.
Whereas you have an extra premium defender and mid, I have two extra premiums in the forward line in Danger and Dunkley.
My biggest dilemma atm is deciding whether or not to keep Williams. Williams was probably one of my first picks and I feel I will want him in my squad as the season goes on so why waste a trade now. If his suspension of 1 week occurred at say round 7, I would not even consider trading him out. So, I'm leaning towards keeping him knowing that it will cost me around 60 or so points.
My first priority is my cash league, so losing 60 points in round 1 is not a disaster.

If Meek goes well my dud loop could be instead of Flynn lol
Some of the rooks might change especially in defence if not named.

I’m big on Williams, everything points to that midfield role that he’s previous scored well in, think I’ll be starting him. I generally chase overall, the suspension will make him unique, which may work well.

I’m I the only one starting with Doherty? Surely with saad and Williams, it will free him up to be the seagull he once was??

I prefer Laird, Short and Daniel for now. But will jump on Doch early if he shows signs that he is back to his best

I've had Gawn/Grundy all pre-season. Just downgraded to now have Gawn/Flynn/Meek. I've upgraded other areas but still not sure how I feel about it. Need to decide soon as one of the upgrades gave me Paddy Dow.

on second thoughts....might just start doch instead of stew. You have him so he must be good tonight

Lol..I swapped him to short because of you...luckiest in history.

sureee you did

I'm backing Docherty to improve on last year. Has a season of footy under his belt after the knees, is a bit underpriced cause he had an injury score in there last year, and is a proven scorer.

Will now sit back and watch Short score 40 points more tonight.

 

[TheRednWhite]

My current backline is Laird, Stew, Short, Daniel, Clark and Young. Thinking Stew to Doch for that little extra cash for hopefully the same scoring

 

[Bradkli]

sureee you did

reckon we both go stew to doch now

Can’t have two defenders tonight. Too stressful. Stewart is safe for 90 every week which I like. Doherty capable of 60s.

the old double cross...very good

 

[TheRednWhite]

don't have Walsh...season basically over after one game. My fault of course

 

[Bradkli]

I had him all pre season...swapped him for Taranto today...short is a spud as well. Didn’t touch the ball for 15 minutes. My seasons over after one quarter. No Walsh will be like not having Neale for most of last season. I knew he would dominate with new interchange rules and dropped him today. The curse continues

After one quarter!! That's an even more stupid statement than all the ones made in the past by Bradkli.

He’s not wrong. Walsh will be a top 5 mid with new rules. He’s one of the fittest players in the league. Will be junk time specialist. If he’s 50+ at 1/2 time most weeks, he will average 115+

 

[TheRednWhite]

Nah I've accepted it. He is just taking the piss now, just wait until the end when everyone is gassed and Walsh junks up. Just lucky I didn't bring Doch in tonight as well.

isn’t tagging short!!!

 

[TheRednWhite]

Please tell me that spud Michael gibbons isn’t tagging short!!!

He is, following him everywhere like a bad smell. Just be glad we don't have Doch, he is a lockdown defender now and nothing more

 

[DaTBird187]

With this rookie overload, my GnR strategy is going quite nicely.

Mids look mint.
