It's your first job when your picking team. Pick your likely 2 Captain options, regardless of price, then start from there. The last thing you want is a team with 15 "value Premiums", then having to umm and ahh over who your Captain is each week! Much better to have 13 Premiums, and an easy Captain choice.
I preface this by saying I think I'll probably pick Dangerfield.
But. Fyfe and Rockliff have historically similar ceilings but are both more than $100k cheaper than Dangerfield.
If you believe that Dangerfield is in a new world of his own, you pay the premium and suck it up, but if you think Fyfe and Rockliff are capable of returning to their best then the usual captaincy argument for the expensive but necessary player may not be as strong as it was when we lived in the Age Of Ablett.

I am interested in the discussion, but my view is that (1) it always depends on the rookies, and (2) the detailed discussion of rookies prior to NAB is almost a complete waste of time in my experience. [That doesn't mean I won't engage in it though

I'm looking at:
3-1-5
5-1-5
2-0-1
3-0-5
Can we get a solid definition of premiums in each line going?
First crack:
Def: Shaw, Laird, Logue, Cox, McLarty, Ridley (Witherden, Stewert) (2-0-6)
Mid: Dangerfield, Hannebery, Parker, Fyfe, Beams, McGrath, Powell-Pepper, Myers (Brodie, Berry, Graham) (5-0-6)
Ruck: Gawn, Goldy, (Strnadica??) (2-0-1)
Fwd: Dahlhaus, Greene, Heeney, Touk Touk, Douglas, Ainsworth (Bowes, McCluggage) (1-4-3)
Could be the year for a full GnR strategy with a supposedly deep draft and clubs like Brissy and te Suns with lots of early draft picks and a desperate need for ready to go players.
Went bare in defence with mostly rookies, Solid rolled gold with my premos in the mids (i would note i reckon it's going to be hard to start with both Danger and Pendles due to both their high cost and obviously Danger wins out). Like the idea of starting with both Parker and Hanners, don't think too many will do that, Beams the possibly risky one but too cheap to ignore at that price. Rucks obvious set and forget, but i did momentarily toy with the idea of taking Jacobs again and thought "Don't do that to yourself ***". Bit more speculative forward but i think that's the way it's going to have to run next season with positional changes. Dahl the easy choice, Greene did ok last year, Touk Touk looks good and hopefully Heeney steps up and gets more midfield time with Tom Mitchell gone. Richard Douglas just filling a gap really but it did surprise me to see him as a mid-fwd.
Any thoughts appreciated, thanks!

Don't mind the structure but a few picks I think could be adjusted. Don't know if you heard the news about Parker's setback with knee surgery putting him out of training for the next month I think. Also Douglas is a bit of a nothing pick, won't average enough to be a keeper or make enough $$$ to be worthwhile as a cow. Think you'd be better of going Douglas to a rookie and maybe upgrading a defender to a Hibberd/KK/Hartlett type or Brodie to JOM?
Overall my suggestions. Parker, Douglas and Brodie to Pendles, FWD rookie (Eddy/Pickett/J Thomas) and JOM. May be a more solid option but overall a nice side!
