Quite like the Trade Boost idea , might be slowly working to a 5 trade wildcard round down the track
Quite like the idea of 11-8-11 starting structure , just wait now for the Rookies to be confirmed
D: LLOYD , WHITFIELD * , SICILY , D Rioli * , Milera , Gould or McLennan / De Koning * , Skinner *
M: MACRAE , STEELE , MITCHELL , NEALE , J Berry , Constable , Horne-Francis , Daicos / Hollands * , Clark , Long *
R: DARCY , BIG O / Comben *
F: DUNKLEY * , DUNCAN * , Gresham * , Coleman * , Coniglio * , Curnow / Maginness * , Kelly *
$ 600.00 in the Bank
Would prefer Short to Sicily , which would mean losing D Rioli / Milera - > rookie (maybe a Kemp or Perez or Baldwin or Parker , even Hayes) , not too fussed yet , plenty of DPP to change things when the rookie picture is clearer.

Shore up the other lines with premiums and use some of the trade boosts after the dual position changes to cash out the first rookie batch and grab forward premiums.

I would recommend Hayes over Visentini for R3 and if you intend on running a loophole from the outset this season I would prefer for this to be used at M11. The trade boost can help those that decide to run a Preuss type at R2 if they need to discard this setup and make sure to have adequate plans in place. I would also entertain structures with Preuss at R3 with the intent of using three trades in RD3 to restructure if needed.
First Draft after opening...
Backs
Lloyd - As much of a lock as I have at this point.
Hall - Struggle to get him out, upside is huge.
Whitfield - It's a value play that I don't love.
Coleman - Like him as a stepping stone with very low end keeper potential.
Rookies - Pure placeholders, don't like the low prices but have spent elsewhere to compensate.
I'd ideally like a Rioli/Coleman type at D3 if the rookies will float my way as I don't really like the premiums this year from a value prospect. I like the crop but I can't really pick between them so I'd rather be picking the value in season with more evidence than guessing preseason when I think there is far better value in the mids and forwards to be had and better certainty if I'm going that path.
Mids
Touk - Love him as a player but there's a ton of options here for sure.
Walsh - I like a few of the more expensive guys a bit more but think he's got value, just think the kid is a superstar.
Petracca - He closed last year out big after moving back to the midfield once Brown was back to play forward. Probably my most locked mid at this point. 123 over his last 8, goes up to 127 if your throw in his finals efforts. Just reckon Charlie is in his sights this year.
Neale - Preseason sounds very promising, last years was wrecked and he never recovered but he's still a stud and expecting big things. Also pretty locked at this point.
Berry - If he's fit and firing he's an 85+ guy who I considered before last year's preseason debacle as a genuine breakout contender. I rate him seriously highly. Keeper is an outside chance again here but realistically he's so cheap it matters not.
Rookies - All placeholders, spent up here for flexibility mostly but do expect I will be spending the extra on the top two.
Rucks
Darcy - I think he's the most likley to go 130+ of the rucks right now. That holds down to 120+.
Grundy - I don't love it and if a better value play comes along I'll take it most likely but he's second on my 120 and 125+ lists.
Preuss - Will watch, I'd rather he's at R2 at that price, if there's a rookie I'd rather go that path.
Definitely the area I don't like the cash being in this year because I'm struggling to trust the Grundy/Gawn pairing and don't see the upside on NicNat.
Forwards
De Goey - Subject to change but rate his upside too highly.
Thomas - Not as high a ceiling but underpriced and like him at 95+, which for me is where I see the fringe F6 guys being as long as you took the value to get there. I think 100 is the true F6 this year and it certainly could be 105+ given the names in the mix and likelihood of a few mids/rucks also getting it throughout the season, the position changes change the acceptable thresholds quite quickly.
Heeney - Should be 95+, capable of 115+, at low 80s, I like that value prop.
Butters - Probably the least sold on him of the 4, if I can weasel out of Grundy I dare say he becomes Dunkley/Duncan, but I like him for 90+, which wouldn't be acceptable but would not be the end of the world and he's certainly capable of going 100+.
Coniglio - For me he's a lock if he's fit, out of position and copping injuries he's a 91+ scorer for the past 6 years, when his body holds up and/or he plays the right positions he's a 105+ guy. Given he's priced at 75+ as his par mark, those are outstanding potential outcomes.
Rookies - Placeholding.
Love the forwards this year, I can see a solid 10 I feel confident starting and believe can go 100+. Preseason will dictate this to a huge extent.
