You might not like another person's approach to structuring and/or the personnel of their team, however here if we can't give constructive feedback then we don't give it at all, and respect is shown to those prepared to post their teams.
Seeing different structures and POD players is actually very beneficial to all of us. Group think is real and can be a hindrance to our teams.

This is what I've deposited on the SC website in anticipation of the 1st teams announcement for the Marsh Community Series. I've invested in some premium blue chip & value options, particularly the high end priced Rookies. There'll sure to be plenty of withdrawals and new deposits over the coming weeks as these stocks rise and fall, along with those new emerging stocks. Hopefully, I can enter R1 still in the black with my fare share of those blue chip stocks.
Enjoy the next few weeks coaches and remember that trades are still UNLIMITED, so get those trading itch out of the way while the counter is still idle.

I was looking for a midpricers thread, but I'll post this here....
This is my full on MP's team, if I had an option of running 2 teams then I would find it interesting to see how this would go.
Obvious flaws are the rucks, lack of cash generation and limited C/VC opportunities.
Interestingly the projected score for this team is not much different from my G & R team.
Trading strategy would be based on combining the Highest BE players to a premo that has lowest BE and rookie that has the lowest BE and probably commence that in round 2. I would have to keep a very close eye on those players who have role changes and are likely to continue with those roles. But it does give me the opportunity of constructing a team after 8 or so trades that will resemble one of the better starting teams. As well as keeping up with points generation.
So just a thought, as it is the pre-season and I had half an hour spare just to d1ck around.

Certainly good to see something different thinking.
In theory of your 7 rookie bench downgrades can make enough $$$ to upgrade :-
Doedee , Roberton
Sier , Rowell
Ladhams , Naismith
you then have 17 trades to fix your other 16 starters if they indeed need fixing
so you would probably need another 4-7 bench downgrades
would be interesting to see how it worked out , imagine the first 6-8 weeks would be ok , until teams started catching up with the best ptemiums

I guess the main thing for me is to get a good start, then combine the MP's that don't work out into premiums & rookies that have identified themselves as standouts. For example Dawson & Wingard to a premo and rookie on the bubble, Lynch & Hannebery, Steven & B Smith. I'd then be able to hopefully nail the rookies (which I might have to do in a G & R team) and the standout premos. It all costs trades, and is pure conjecture ATS
Haha....don't tempt me, cos I just might
I do know that I'd need a truckload of cash to upgrade the rucks.
Something I do like though is that every player, barring Dusty, Treloar and maybe Sicily, have a lot of upside.

Sicily, Houston, Smith, Docherty
Treloar, Oliver
Martin, Dawson, Wingard, Lynch , Smith
could all be very realistic chances of being keepers
so the problem children are Curnow, Hannebery, Steven & Ceglar (?) +the rucks so you might only have too pump the money into 6 players
now
what if time
Ladhams - > Ceglar
Ceglar - > Steven
Steven - > eg McHenry play Pickett onfield
you now have a extra $ 200 k to get Nasimith to Naitanui

Sorry if that's not constructive, but it's an unfortunate reality
fair enough, my apologies for making comments
I guess the easiest way would be to pick a cookie cutter team the same as 200,000 other people, will soon become a very boring forum
good to see different people throwing up different ideas and thoughts , I actually enjoy seeing that
I am sure it would be more than competitive in the first 8 weeks when others are fielding 8 rookies, but anyway your record in the game speaks for itself

Smith - > Young
Sier - > $ 123,900.00 rookie
Steven - $ 123,900.00 rookie
Ceglar - > Hill
Ladhams - > Grundy
Naismith - > Gawn
6 changes gives it 15 potential keepers from the start, which would be more than competitive
anyway
this thread is probably a complete waste of time anyway until Round 1 teams are announced
Herbie, I think your enthusiasm is commendable and your unique approach is refreshing.
And, like with any fantasy competition, I also understand an attachment to a theme (e.g. pro mid-pricers, anti GnR, or lack of rookies) – and that other people’s opinions are merely hurdles disguised as ‘conventional wisdom’. We’re painting a canvas here, and it’s easy to fall in love with certain players or ideas.
However certain wisdom is convention for a reason. OnTopBar running half the number of usual cash-generating rookies definitely frees the team up for a number of list-clogging mid-pricers – while the decision to run without any of those pesky premiums like Brodie Grundy, Jack Macrae, Max Gawn, Patrick Cripps or Patrick Dangerfield is certainly an interesting approach.
I haven’t looked for the post, but I remember giving similar advice to Ironhawk(?) last year who wanted to run with the full mid-pricer team. You’d be better off buying a lotto ticket.
At the end of the day, I’m only trying to assist, and people can take comments on board, or (more likely) tell me where to shove it. But the last thing anyone wants to see, is you (or anyone) saying “Well that didn’t work out, can start early prep for next year” by round 6.
