I hadn’t put too much thought into it (obviously) but looks like Cincotta/Briggs/Ford could be moved on so I’m looking at 14 if a rookie or 2 pops up. Doesn’t feel so bad in that case
J Macrae (exc 2020 avgs (shortened matches)):
2023:
Disposals: 27.2 (lowest since 26.4 in 2015- 2017 was last time below 30)
Marks: 3.3 (lowest since debut season- 2.7 in 2013)
Disposal Efficiency: 78.9% (Career high)
Contested Possessions: 10.8 (lowest since 9.2 in 2016)
Time on ground: 77.4% (lowest since debut season- 64.8% in 2013)
30 or more disposals (last three seasons):
2023: 3/11 (2 after RD3)
2022: 14/23 (inc finals)
2021: 23/26 (inc finals)
Its going to be horrendous but being Round 15 heavy has got me to top 50 in the first place so happy to take a hit in one round, got 14 at the moment but should get to 17 by the time that round is here.
1 forward unless I can swing Gulden back before RD15 or Sturt returns.
Likely around the 14-15 range unless a miracle occurs and Sturt, Constable and Sharp all reappear just in time to push me closer to 18.
A nice little spike score from JVR should o***et the loss of cash gen from Mitchell over the next couple of rounds, Doc underwhelming but ok, Cincotta acceptable. Only have 18 playing (5 rookies) so to get 2 rookies out of the way for 167 is a good start.
3/263
Definitely not a complete team still playing too many rookies, but byes are looking OK
Rd 12 - 20 playing 3/326
Rd 13 - 23
Rd 14 - 18
Rd 15 - 16
These include Atkins and N. Anderson though!

I don't think Walsh will drop >100k by R15. Brice Mitchell has him losing 60k if scores 105's, if he goes 120's then it'll be a fair bit less (depends on what you paid for him I spose)
The rookie I rue missing is Williams, had him pegged as a good scorer off the backline but being named as a sub on his bubble game as well as multiple injuries meant I had to pass, 220k right there. Could add Ryan and Ratagolea for a combined 400k too. Guess you can't have all of them.

To be fair, Sturt is currently 'around', however his one kick and four handball performance against the Demons last week for a mighty 16 SC doesn't leave me with any great confidence that he'll still be around come Round 15. O'Meara will miss with suspension next week might save him next week if they shuffle things around a touch, and Walters to return, but jeepers he'd need to show something if he does survive next week to still be there and be useful at the dreaded Round 15.
Good thing with JVR (assuming he doesn’t knock out another 100) is that most of his price gains happen over the next 2 rounds. Can trade him at his bye and take most of his price rise.
