    Starting team structure

    Milera's very high up on my list of forward rookies, I'm interested to hear why you don't think he'll get regular games. 2x Premo rucks - lock 5-2-1 mids - lock Forward line and back line still shuffling about, I'm currently sitting with 5 mid pricers in those two lines.

    Midfield 2016

    Shiel averaged 110 last year when you take out his injury affected games (R3/R15). He had one terrible game against North when GWS got pumped and Jacobs completely nullified him. Other than that, 9 tonnes and 2 scores in the 90s. Ceiling of 150, basement of 90. If GWS continues their upward...

    Rookies 2016

    The Crouch/Libba combo. All the rage. My mids are Fyfe/Danger/Gaz/Shiel/Rocky/Libba/Crouch/Mills.

    Rookies 2016

    Mills M8 is pretty standard I think. This year sucks for many reasons. The lack of rookies means we're going to see quite a few cookie cut midfields.

    Midfield 2016

    Shiel is my go-to guy @ $550K. The man's a beast. I'd be far more inclined to take a risk with a cheaper premium if they had a R14 bye, but neither Shiel or Cripps do (won't stop me from picking Shiel). Wines does have the nice bye, but I don't rate him as someone who is likely to average 110+.

    Nice team. I know it's very flavour-of-the-month-y but I'd probably look to downgrade Dusty to a cheaper forward (Buddy, Greene? maybe cheaper) and use that cash to switch one of your rucks to Goldy. Otherwise a very similar setup to me.

    Forwards 2016

    The reason I bring Caleb up is because I don't mind the idea of a mid pricer in the forward line. It'd be a very easy fix if he doesn't work out, going down to an expensive rookie like Milera.

    Forwards 2016

    Here's just another name to throw around: Caleb Daniel. $295K (54 average). NAB1: 115SC 100%DE 73%TOG 17 touches/ 5 contested 1 goal NAB2: 79SC 78%DE 82%TOG 14 touches/ 4 contested NAB3: 88SC 80%DE 80%TOG 20 touches/ 6 contested Averaged 94 for NAB, also did very well in the intra club.

    Forwards 2016

    Has been out of my team for a couple of weeks. Don't really see him improving on 105. I don't think he can really hurt you too much if he doesn't start in your team. In his best run last year he averaged 119 (rd 2-12), which makes 115 for a season unlikely. He'll have his bad games so he's...

    Defenders 2016

    I seem to recall Lonergan was rated really highly at draft time. Quality players find a way, the question is if you believe in his pedigree.

    Perfect, moth ball him. Keep his ownership down.

    Rucks 2016

    I'm really hoping Currie monsters it in Perth tomorrow and finds a way into the best 22. I m so keen to have him at R2 with Grimley as swing cover.

    Rucks 2016

    I'm still suffering PTSD after swapping out Goldy for Maric literally 1 minute before the R1 bounce. Not making that mistake again.

    Defenders 2016

    Fool's gold I think, not a good user so his ceiling is rather limited if he locks down the half back role (which looks likely)

    Starting team structure

    Ugh, it is so hard to drop one of the big 6 (Fyfe, Pendles, Libba, Rocky, Danger, Gaz) especially when you're keen on another player at $550k. The problem is team structure starts to suffer if you add a 7th. Unless a minor miracle occurs and the rookie ruck options firm up, I'll probably have...

    Rucks 2016

    I am basing my opinion on a completely personal view and not really a statistical view. 13 games isn't a great sample size one way or another to decide whether a player has consistency issues. With that being said, Stef is far and away the better option in that respect. You know you're...

    Rucks 2016

    The 50k between Gawn and Stef is basically for his injury history. If Maxy had more runs on the board he'd be the better pick. I'd still pick him over Stef just because of his ceiling.

    Thinking a bit differently this year but all about rookies. 4-1-3 5-1-5 2-0-1 1-1-6

    Rucks 2016

    Kurt Tippett has been my R2 since day 1. Have plans for him as my long term swing cover that can average 100.
