Xerri looks like he needs an injury to play, also loses all value as a loophole if he is the emergency.
Hadn’t really thought about CCJ, with Soldo and Nank around. Is there doubt on their availability?
Ideally Xerri (playing as best 22) at R3 and Williams at D8 lets me pick who I want, but may have to compromise if Williams is selected /Xerri not and no other cheap def rookie is selected.

I've had Xerri at R3 regardless of who gets picked because he is R/F and the best loophole. If he gets picked I had McHenry or Hibberd or Budarick on the mid bench as a donut to play.
Are you thinking Williams at R3 with the likely hood he gets dropped to become the donut? Instead of a donut to play, a player to donut. If I start a non playing Xerri and Williams gets dropped early am I carrying 2 donuts? Are you trying to minimise the risk?

I would pick the other north rookie ruck if I play a r/f loophole. Using Xerri as a loophole seems like too much risk of a possible late in, but also might not get many games.
If Williams gets picked, then I will think about whether I play a DTP or FD. A lot depends on team selection Rd1, but this year feels like a year where you may have to maximise cash gen from the start as there may not be many options later on. Of course, if Cripps goes crazy then that all goes out the window..

B.Williams seems awfully close so I think he will be my R3 or maybe D8 even if not selected (provided Xerri, Cameron types aren’t either).

Just out of curiosity I looked at Cripps scores below 100 for the last two years and from 2018 to 2019 they were all completely different teams.
Yeah sorry, that was poorly worded. Given how close BWilliams is, if not named in Round 1, I would probably be comfortable taking him at D8 if we got a playing R3.
It seems perhaps only lack of fitness would keep him out of Rnd 1, so I could see him playing Rnd 2.
If named in Rnd 1 and there were no other rookie rucks named, I may just plonk him at R3 and forgo a captaincy loophole donut.
Edit: I also did this with WRioli with great success. Took him as a donut to play and he came in a bit quickly in Rnd 2 to leave me without a captaincy donut, but players inevitably kept missing each week so I don’t recall missing out. English was the playing R3. The extra $200k generated was crucial in the end for me (I think it was in 2018, so I finished well that year!)

Strategy if season goes ahead
AFL - think they will run games without fans in next month (due to being socially responsible). Mindful it is an outside sport, although plenty of contact.
If a player does get it, not sure how they manage it. quarantine them for 2 weeks. what happens if it spreads.
Currently teams are running processes such as separation from other club teams (VFL etc), no shaking hands, no autographs, fans banned from training and other programs to minimise getting it.
Not sure if the player assoc has a view yet.
There seems to be a lack of data on impact on young people. Whilst no/minimal chance of mortality, what is the % that moves from a cold to pneumonia for someone 20-30 years old. If the latter is above a few %, expect they cancel the early part of the season.
If they come out with a policy to play on that is supported by the AFL and if going for an overall rank, a mid price spread team could do well this year, to cover those out when they happen.
Our benefit is we are currently coming off summer, flu impact low, hospitals not yet overwhelmed, which may see the season go ahead. We are also past peak tourism season. Singapore has contained it but they are unique. just some thoughts. I Will hold back all other views.

If AFL matches are cancelled, then it would be good if the Fantasy Leagues organisers can tell us what they plan to do about it, so we can change our strategy before Rd1.
Hmmm, I wonder what strategy one could employ before Rd1?
