Could probably use a little cash to upgrade Highmore (assuming he doesn't make the cut) to Cox.
But nice side, I'm running Daniel as well, just feel like he's flying under the radar.

Love it! Only thing I'd do is probably downgrade Heppell to a rookie and upgrade Sloane (I just feel like he's cooked)

Add me to the list who'd be genuinely surprised if he wasn't in their team and an important part of it come round 1. They had injuries all across their backline all season but he came in round 2 (made to earn it) and was going from strength to strength until the injury derailed the season.
Prodigious talent, the list of genuine HBFs taken inside the top 10 is incredibly low so really highlights what they think of him.
Also worth noting that Cerra, who started last season across HB, had matured into a full fledged midfielder by seasons end and, imo, that's the opening that will be his.
The real question on Young is can he score well enough in just his 2nd season to generate the cash required at his price. I think he can but I'd rather not pay that premium to find out if I can avoid it. Think his brother is still a better value option. I also think he's the best of that price group though.

Good article best 22 for round 1

it's been a few days since I posted my team, made some adjustments. No rookies in defence, relying on Oleg purely on opportunity and role, will be fed the ball to run and carry. Brought Green in, hoping Cameron gives him a decent go in the middle, was awesome last year, but not given much of a go. Lazzaro an interesting one on my mid bench, not sure he gets a game 1st up. @Herbie66 found a spot for Jack.

Meek could be a option to the D/R setup
Treacy could be a alternative if Williams and/or Fullarton are named

The latest version.. feels like it's starting to take shape and feeling better about the rookies.
Not sold on having both Williams and Duggan (will keep at least one), but otherwise fairly happy with how it's shaping up. Probably weighing up the difference between dropping one of Steele/Trac/Merrett for a cheaper premium mid and then taking one of Williams or Duggan up to someone around the price of Mills, or keeping things as are.
The more and more things go, the more a no premium forward line feels good, as long as there is insurance in a fwd-mid premium.

Welcome aboard.
This is probably the most POD team I’ve seen. Some I can see a good argument for, others I may have missed something.
A few specific thoughts:
- Many people seem to regard Laird as a lock. I think he’s the Adelaide defender turned midfielder to pick over Brodie. Also helps
make your back line more solid.
- Rowell and especially Cockatoo seem to have injury concerns.
- Stephenson did not seem to get many centre bounce attendances on the weekend, which I suspect significantly reduces his appeal. Most are fielding the likes of Ziebell, Daniher, Impey up forward.
- English is a huge POD and seemingly will share ruck minutes with Stefan Martin - he may go premium (maybe even Uber premium) soon, but you might be a year or two early. Gawn has a good early draw and appears in good form. He’s one most are finding the cash for.
- Flynn at R3 looks a lock if he is the #1 ruck.
- To be honest I’d have to research Tomlinson, Hooker and Edwards to form a view on them as picks. Certainly they are left field. I think there’s a good argument for well chosen left field picks down back, maybe less so in Edwards’ case. Richmond don’t tend to have high scoring midfielders and Edwards is getting old. Maybe if he was forward or def eligible. I reckon someone like Jayden Short could be similarly PODish (if you’re seeking that) and be a decent pick down back.
- It’s a minor point, and you don’t seem overly exposed in terms of injury risk, but if I was starting an injury prone Freo player, I’d go Fyfe over Walters. Alternately J Kelly seems to have had a good preseason and he’s in a similar mould to Fyfe. If you’re taking the injury risk, I reckon you want to get paid for it, and Fyfe/Kelly both offer more of that in my view.
Good luck!
