Thought that I would post my team as it is currently looking so I can compare after the Marsh Cup. Still a work in progress.

Naturally rookies are all place holders for now so hoping that I have left enough value in them to be able to switch them around easily as required.

Dawson, McCluggage, Naitanui and Parish are the four mid price players that I am tossing up between. Likely to only take one (or two at most) of them, and switch one or two of the others up to stronger premiums. One will go down to a rookie on the line that looks like it has more rookies presenting. I feel like I only want to take a risk one of D Smith or Docherty, so it’s Devon for now, but that could change.
Great def and ruck selections.

To remove McCluggage and Parish as you mentioned above, an option could be
Out: D Parish, H McCluggage, M Walters, M Bontempelli
In: S Docherty (via J Dawson), P Dangerfield, C Wingard/T Lynch, J Macrae

Nice troll.

That fwd line makes my eyes bleed
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.

Fair bit of flexibility there to trade most players depending on who shows their wares over the next few weeks

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.

12 keepers is very nice.
I struggle to build a team without Cripps.

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

see I would sit on the midpricers for 6-8 weeks and just wait for the next wave of rookies to come (and then downgrade) and then upgrade the rookies onfield

the byes might then be the ideal place to sling shot 6 mid pricers to premiums

I think you should do it

Haha....don't tempt me, cos I just might:p 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.

you should otherwise you will be asking yourself " what if" every week

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 :)

That team has basically zero chance of being competitive, and any advice to the contrary is folly.

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

Love the premo's in the backline but not sure if I would go only out to M4 on midfield premos to accomodate that. Not a fan of Heeney, but if uninjured I guess he's more likely than not to be top 6 ....

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.
