DEF: Surprised to see Shaw dominating ownership % amongst the Premiums, with Rance and McVeigh trailing behind by almost half. Interested to see if those taking Shaw will compromise in taking a few of the lower end Premiums and how will this match up against a more even spread of Premiums approach.
MID: It's clear that the BIG 5 plus Libba combination is a clear frontrunner, are you game enough to play the underdog tag?
RUC: Set & Forget looks like the theme here, albeit an expensive one at a minimum of 550k a pop.
FWD: Dusty, Barlow and Buddy is a popular combination with a sprinkle of players from last year performing crop.
Our DEF and FWD lines setup are where most teams are likely to be different. With the likelihood of having a limit pool of rookies to choose from for round 1, I would dare say that our starting on-field rookies group would also rank very high in the popularity stake. The other important consideration, which some have not given much thought to from the teams I've seen published to date is, how viable are our bench rookies? This I believe will be one of the critical determining factor for our SC fortunes this year if the situation doesn't improve on the rookies front. The other important factor I'm feeling at the moment, more so this year, is the need to absolutely nail your premium selections from the get go.
Just thought I'd share some of my thoughts and observations so far whilst picking players for my starting team.
