[Ben's Beasts]

Confident in starting Hinge and McCartin on the ground now after the Coleman injury. Confidence in def rookies stops there

I can live with fielding Gibcus too.

 

[Hondo]

Yes, it's my worry too, Ward and Stephens on my bench

Someone will show up to allow you to field one of those guys at least

[BIGB0Y]

Campbell is looking not bad

 

[Peter56]

Looks like a 3-4 premo midfield is needed to fit berry, JHF, daicos, stephens and ward

I’m currently running 4 with Stephens on bench

I have been playing around this afternoon with just 2 premo's + Neale and Cripps. The trouble is what to do with the extra cash? I don't want to fill up defense because of future DDP changes and the premos in the forward line do not look great.

I like the fact there are few $123,000 rookies this year. Going to make things more interesting and challenging, having to pick higher priced rookies,and mid priced players/fallen potential premos.Will be interesting to see what positions get sacrificed to accommodate some higher priced players.

 

[Lgndhen23]

Exactly the same but swap Berry for Caldwell.

This issue is for me at present that three of the four premos are Andy Brayshaw, Lachie Neale & Patty Cripps.

Interestingly enough we have the exact same issue haha

 

[Shannon]

Would love to see Goater get a run this 1/2 & impress, need 1 more cheap mid bench rookie 🙏🤞

 

[elzorko16]

Is anyone else spooked by the fact that P.McCartin is wearing Heath Grundy's number 39? they seriously could be twins

 

[Shaunpro1]

I genuinely dont even think playing forward is bad for JHF, just looks a seriously talented footballer, pick him.

 

[jobeywatto]

Is Lloyd an absolute lock? For $50k less you can get someone like Short or Ridley who shouldn't be too far off. Lloyd obviously the safest backline pick but I don't feel he's going to hurt you too badly if you leave him out. Extra cash will be handy to bolster the rookies.

He has been impressive again today - looks very comfortable down back.

I've been leaning towards this structure... I currently have one premium + Neale + Cripps, but that's predominantly because I've got Rowell as M4. Realistically there's a fair chance I'll bump him back up to Oliver at some point.

I’d spend in the mids,they’re generally the highest scorers, but then you’ll need to nail the mid pricers in other positions.

Any faint hope of Hollande playing just evaporated

 

[dlanod]

Great to see Cooper Stephens named 👏😎

But on that bench he smells like an emergency, not a realistic option for Round 1 unless he really pulls something out.

 

[Ben's Beasts]

I don’t recall there ever being such a premium on rookie spend compared to this season. Just about every cheap rookie is not able to be fielded either.
