That’s a pretty good effort if you’re new to AFL SC. Structure looks pretty good - while it should ultimately be determined by rookie depth, it’s a good starting point.
Notable player choices, in my view, are:
Rich. He’s on many ‘never again’ lists after being a perennial underperformer who finally came good in 2019. The negative is that he’s priced off that average, so unless you think he’s a massive beneficiary of the new rules from last year (which may be the case), he’s probably not one to start at that price. You could switch him for Doc and save cash, which would be more conventional and an upgrade in my view.
J Kelly. He’s arguably injury prone and in my view therefore more suited to being an upgrade target (because you’re exposed to his injury risk for a shorter period). Taking on injury risk is fine (if a player is discounted, or likely to improve their scoring), but it’s easier to bear this if it is spread, on deeper lines, and/or not that large across your team. I’d be mildly concerned about an injury prone mid if I was going only four deep. More durable options could include Neale and Oliver.
Jacobs. It looks like almost everyone will end up starting Gawn and Grundy, which history suggests rarely works well, although it worked tremendously last year. Personally I think Jacobs is a viable option, so long as he is fit and Mumford is playing little or no ruck. Some excellent midfielders to hit it to and historically he’s extremely durable. Worth flagging that his premium scoring years came under the old ruck scoring system, which favoured him more.
Greene. Personally I just don’t see the appeal from an SC perspective, unless you want to pick a player you like watching. Creates headaches every year with suspensions and injury, and played some mid time last year that potentially inflates his price versus what he’ll get this there given GWS will presumably have fewer mid injuries. I’d suggest making life easier for yourself ?
Wingard. Probably just below premium level in my view even when he’s playing well. Super talented but he just hasn’t kicked on in SC.
Lynch. Could be a bit like Wingard with a caveat. He was supposed to score better at Richmond but from memory had an early injury, albeit he also was playing a pretty SC-unfriendly role (few possessions, big focus on kicking goals). I’d suggest Wingard and Lynch to Dusty (highly durable, near lock to be a top forward) and a rookie could be worthwhile, and I suspect it would free up a little cash too.
Best of luck!
