    Forwards 2016

    Same. I've had all 3 of them in my side invididually at one time or another. Every time I put deledio at F1 it looks a lot better but then I miss a forward rookie that I'm keen on in exchange for a mid rookie that I have no confidence in. As it stands I have Wells at F3 but it means I bat deep...

    Rucks 2016

    Dixon when he's fit, otherwise the Hoff will have to pinch hit unless they want to bring Dougal whathisname in. He's a standalone #1 ruck... But he's also a spud.

    Gary Ablett

    Surely after rushing him back last year, they wouldn't play him round 1 this year unless he was right to go. I started without him last year (took Fyfe instead, tough call at the time but no brainer in hindsight) and thought it was pretty obvious he wasn't right. I'm not as certain on it this...

    Rookies 2016

    I believe he was a utility in the 70s and 80s. Had a few different positions and was comfortable playing anywhere. He was very good with rebound 50s as he would often go long and straight up the middle. Wouldn't have been SC relevant as he always gave his opponent a lot of the ball. I never saw...

    Rookies 2016

    Given he won the VFL b&f last year and did well on the weekend, I would say he would be first in line for an upgrade. U think he's just recently signed for another couple of years too? Mature age and experienced... He would be handy. Would be in and out more than Ron Jeremy though.

    Midfield 2016

    I'm looking at making space for both. But it means starting Wells at F3. Gonna have to think long and hard about this one.

    The same can probably be said for Dea. I wouldn't see him averaging any more than that.

    Rate My Team

    When you're going THAT light on in defence, you can't rely on D1-D3 being speculative picks. You have to have at least 1, preferably 2, rock solid top 6 defenders in there. Especially when you've got almost 300k banked. Go with one of Sheridan or Lonergan and upgrade the other to an elite...

    I put Mills in for the first time last night (at M6) and I'm much more comfortable with him on the ground than relying on 3 x 117/123k rookies. He may be this year's Cripps... That 200k unproven kid you look at and think "shit thats expensive" but repays you and then some. Selwood will be in...

    Defenders 2016

    I'm not convinced that Hibberd will play. Not really sure my guys will either but it's all subject to change with rookies. I've got Broad and Byrne-Jones on the bench. Can always throw Tippa back as well as there seems to be enough forward rookies to go around.

    Defenders 2016

    Yeah I would agree with that. Either way, if they do get picked their JS going forward is terrible. Plenty of safer options elsewhere.

    Defenders 2016

    I got confused between him and Williams haha. Collins is nowhere near my side. My defence is set in stone (I think).

    Defenders 2016

    Collins looks very solid. Him getting a regular gig is crucial to my structure so I hope he's in!

    top 10 defenders

    You don't see Laird as a top 10 def at years end? There's at least 4 guys in that list that I can't see him dropping below.

    Rucks 2016

    I agree with WC dropping, mainly due to a much tougher draw. This is why I haven't really considered Nicnat. A bit hypocritical of me considering Stef is almost a lock for me!

    Forwards 2016

    Stuff like this makes you rethink everything. It means going away from cookie cutter lineups which is generally a good thing.

    I love the big Snagman but I will pick Liam Jones in my side before I go near Mummy again.

    Defenders 2016

    If he averages 90 from his starting price, he's a keeper for me given the inconsistency in defence. At worst he is a very low priority upgrade.

    Midfield 2016

    He nearly always has one shocking game, either through injury or tag, and drops by about 70-100k. Ill hold out until then.

    Defenders 2016

    I hadnt seriously entertained Lonergan before today. Eade saying he will take Swallows role makes me reconsider. Swallow at D3 in 2014 was one of the best starting picks. He was priced at 430k, M/D MPP and averaged 103, increasing his average by around 25ppg in his 4th year after an injury...
