Kinda unsure but:

Def: Simpson, KK, Bartel Birchall M.Brown Bonner - Wigg S.Collins
Midfield: Pendlebery, Ablett, Hannebery, Priddis, Rockliff, Libba, Parish, Gresham - Keays Matheison Cunningham
Ruck: S.Martin, Lobbe - Loerch
Forward: D.Martin, Gunston, Robinson, J.Anderson, Simpkin, Kerridge - Petracca, A.McDonald-Y

Heavy in the midfield - but I can see at least 5 of those mids being keepers.

WHat do you guys think? Anderson Simpkin and Parish too many expensive rooks?

Too many expensive rookies to me but that doesn't hurt when planning now as you can chop one or two without changing your side if you see other rookies come through.:)

I would want only one of robinson or gunston as having both is too speculative for mine.

Decided to try a team with only keepers and rookies (Libba for value). Rookies need to show up for this to work

I don't mind it. I am considering a similar structure. I would change it slightly and buy someone other than shaw danger and maybe even jpk. I think you are paying overs for them. Maybe consider McVeigh, keep JPK and change danger to wines.

Had Shaw the last few years. No regrets. 90% chance if starting him. Wines is an option

First genuine interesting structure and team I've seen. Defenders and Forwards are both lacking in standout selections beyond three picks. Overpaying for a couple of keepers mitigates trades. Fyfe and Libba the only known injury concerns.

Good job.

D: Boyd, KK, Bartel, Ashby, Byrne, Drummond, Hartley, Broad.
M: Danger, Pendles, Ablett, Bont, Rocky, Wines, Hopper, Gresham, Morabito, Menegola, Davis.
R: Goldy, Tippett, King.
F: Dusty, Barlow, Lynch (GC), Kerridge, Brown (Ess), Adams (WB), Beech, McDTip.

Trade in targets are:
D: Shaw, McVeigh, Simpson.
M: Fyfe, Priddis, Sloane, Ward, Beams, Armitage, Selwood.
R: Tippett goes forward, Martin, Jacobs, NicNat.
F: Deledio, Montagna, JJK, JRiewodlt, T Walker.

I've been against Goldy for most of the preseason but his early draw and captains loopholing gets him a bit closer to what he is priced at, the other 3 rucks I would consider all have tough starts and could be picked up for around $500k when the upgrade season starts, and I don't want to pick an average midpricer as a compromise. Danger would be Jelwood if Jelwood had done most of the preseason but could still become Fyfe if Fyfe gets some preseason minutes.
I don't have a set structure in mind and wasn't trying to stack the midfield, this is just how the cards are falling at the moment.

Again like the structure freowho, similar to blokes team.

Everyone is entitleed to choose their 'horse in the race', or two. You have a few in that category. Boyd is the only one I'd question in terms of value, expectations and expected games (and therefore, overall points). The Bont, Tippett and Lynch all have claims.

Well done.

i really like this structure..this is another structure that i am highly considering. i think going with 3 premos in the def is the way to go because you dont know who is going to this years best defenders. last season we had the likes of mcdonald and picken and im sure they were around the low 400's or 300's as there starting price.

im not sure about boyd. He is not very durable so you gotta expect that he will miss games. '
midfield looks really good maybe consider fyfe if he is 100%. i like the wines choice
rucks is really good and the fwd line im not a huge fan of gunston. maybe consider someone like lids but i can understand that you may not want to pay overs for him and he is similar to boyd. he may not play 22 games. overall very good team

I like that side. Good structure. I just think no Libba at his price could come back to haunt you. And I agree with Adrenaline, I don't like the Gunston pick either. Supercoach is a midfielders game and I just reckon you need to steer clear of that type of player.

This the Phantoms team, better than Robbo's team in HS. Bit different team so thought I would throw it up for discussion. Remember him being top 10 towards the end.

http://www.adelaidenow.com.au/sport...7546f002e8cd6821150961f26#load-story-comments.

Def - KK, Doherty, Rich, Smith, Francis, Brown, Hartley & Broad
Mids - Danger, Ablett, Rocky, Adams, Cripps, Libba, Crouch, JOM, Jansen, Maths, Menegola
Rucks - Blicavs, Lobbe, Wyatt
Fwd - Martin, Dahl, Greene, Anderson, Kennedy, Kerridge, Petrecca, Sumner.

To me, has gone for value everywhere, however, not many certain keepers (bolded) that should finish top 10 in their position.

This is my team so far. Thoughts would be appreciated.

DEF: KK, Docherty, Bartel, B.Smith, Brown, Byrne (Hartley, Wagner)
MID: Pendles, Ablett, JPK, Rockliff, Wines, Liberatore, B.Crouch, Hopper (Jansen, Mathieson, Hibberd)
RUC: Blicavs, Lobbe (King)
FWD: Martin, Dahlhaus, Barlow, Anderson, Simpkin, Kerridge (Petracca, Sumner)

1.8k cash leftover. Ones in bold will hopefully be keepers.

Doubt his final team will look anything like this. More to show the people the value around this year.
He did very well last year
