I think what we have seen with these 9 games, is that those in that half back role, should be a big increase in fantasy output. And there's heaps of them in that 300-400k range. you could legit have 4-5 of them in your back 6.

This could be the season defining call I reckon. 2 ways to go here. While everyone’s mids are of similar structure this year it looks like which path you take with defenders really defines how the rest of the team sets up:

Option 1: Like you said go heavy on the 300-400k type defense which gives the coin to bat deeper up fwd with mid price types like Caldwell.

Option 2: Go the big gun def with 3-4 of Lloyd/Laird/Stew/Z Will/Short/Daniel which likely means 2 of Bergman/Brockman/Warner types on field up fwd, all of which have shown promise mind you.

There’s definitely merit in both plays and to me its still far from clear what the optimal will end up being.

Hmm my side was young before these games and is now even younger

 

[Freo_4eva]

D-mac and brodie with their usual pre season scores of eternal hope

 

[saintkildaman]

Wonder whether Rowell down to Green is a safer bet, and then distribute the money elsewhere?

Was thinking the same, risk though especially when I’m already starting with Taranto

 

[Gunf]

Post Preseason games which i am sure will change 500 times more in the next week and a bit

Have 200k spare atm for any changes needed due to rookies etc

 

[powerrrrrrrrrrrr]

To anyone considering Brodie, I got sucked in last year and only for him to be dropped after rnd 1. Really stuffed my team around early

 

[Cotchy9]

I’m thinking I’ll turn Rowell into Butters

Moved Butters today to get to Dunkley, so essentially it’s Rowell to Dunkley

 

[creamPIES]

Webster and walsh or highmore and macrae/gaff/Mitchell?

Done the exact same moves!

Yes same, Stewie Dew doesn't like the bloke. He'd be a better option than Caldwell I think but Bevo treats Dunkley better than Dew treats Brodie.

 

[JDWCE]

That's not a very big list....

Any better if I go to $201K ????

Butts

 

[FlowersByIrene]

Cerra + Stewart vs Serong + Short

 

[DynamiteDons]

Cerra + Stewart vs Serong + Short

ohh that's a tough, Cerra and Serong probably very close this year. Stewart over Short id say, that's more on previous years. If I had to choose one, probably the first one only just.

I like Serong slightly better than Cerra for upside but am worried about second year blues.

 

[samFFC]

Rarely do it but have decided to go big dogs in all sections - Lloyd, Zerrett, Gawn, Danger.

 

[Balsam]

Option 2: Go the big gun def with 3-4 of Lloyd/Laird/Stew/Z Will/Short/Daniel which likely means 2 of Bergman/Brockman/Warner types on field up fwd, all of which have shown promise mind you.

Have you been looking at my team?

Laird/Stewart/Short currently in the backline.

Bergman/Warner currently on field in the forwards.

I'm not 100% on Short yet, but if not him, it will probably be another premo.

Bit of a swap.. wasn't sold on Rowell even before today. Coming off the surgery and a condensed pre, swapped Clark into the mids and duggan basically into d3 for Rowell. Like the role, game style obv suits. Duggan spent most of the summer in my team anyway - so my head is justifying it that way

Good call. It seems to me like everyone has just remembered those couple of Rowell tons last year and thought “lock”, but when you break it down is he really that much of a great pick?

4-5 game sample
75 price tag
Poor team
Essentially a first year rookie still
Off season surgery
Starts with WCE in Perth

He’s 574k which isn’t that cheap imo

 

[JDWCE]

I’d go option 1 as well for its safety and the fact Stewart is a guarantee to be top 6. If you really like the look of serong after one or two games could always trade cerra down to him for a cash grab ? Assuming you have a luxury trade

Worked all weekend and just caught up on like 30+ pages of information... My brain trying to process everything

So i picked up the Honeyball Magazine 57 pages for 5 bucks pretty cheap

They have ****ing Cal Twoomey providing rookie feedback i mean thats a pretty big get

Got some information bout Loopholes

There is definitely some value but i think we cover most of it

 

[Cotchy9]

R2 decides everything for me. It’s Witts, or a restructure finding the 300k to get to Max
