Macrae, Scrimshaw, Constable
Vs
Sloane (M5), Duursma (D6), Libba (M6)
Some important parts to keep in mind:
With option 1 I’d have 5-0-3 midfield, 1-3-2 defense (including Collins D5 and Scrimshaw/Clark/Hore (D6-D8) and Constable/Atkins/Scott/Gibbons would be M8-M11
Option 2 would see Collins, Duursma and Clark D5-D7, Libba M6 with Butters the infield 8th Midfielder.

Option 1.
Mainly because Collins, Scrimshaw, Clark, Hore seems nicer as a backline than having three rookies on field (though plenty are happy with it, I'm not as bullish: Clarke could make way for Tuohy pretty easily, Duursma could make way for any of a number of returning players, Scrimshaw's coach said he is underdone etc.)
Then again, I'll probably correct everything come R3.

Ah didn't realise you had Moore in there as well.
I'm finding this everytime I try and fit in Libba as well - it requires essentially a 'compromised' pick elsewhere: You can take two bigger risks (Sloane, Libba) for potentially greater reward or lesser risks (rookies and the chance Macrae goes bust).
Really just depends on how you rate the three more expensive players, looks the rookies work themselves out anyway.

Sloane up. I personally rate him as a good pick and looks likely to have a good start to the year which could see him get off to a flyer with his AO record and easy draw. However, there is a lot less risk in moving him up to one of the other 3 who all should scorer higher (by how much is the question) with less question marks.
Smith has injury worries but there’s nothing saying those other 3 players or anyone 400-500k will score much better than he will outside of Williams imo.

Greene feels like a wait and see. Given how little game time he has seen off an interrupted pre-season I can see him coming out and averaging 75-80, which doesn't hurt you at all if you don't pick him.
If/when he warms up (ie. before he gets injured or suspended again) then it might be time to jump on.
