didnt get a chance to watch the gws game. Can someone explain taranto’s role? After watching heeney up forward I’m thinking is it just better to pay up for Toronto….
A lot of forward time especially across the half forward line, not a heap in the middle. Heeney has shown he can score well in the role, Taranto hasn't really.

Always have to take these practice matches with a grain of salt but I feel my team is going to be significantly different to what it was three days ago!

Based on roles I think Heeney and Thomas will depart my team. As will Darcy based on his fitness. Doesn’t look to be moving well and Marshall was always high on my radar.

Will also be fielding a significantly higher number of the 180k+ players than I expected. W Brodie, Ward, Gibcus & Hinge will all enter my team and seriously considering McGovern too. A lot to ponder before Rd 1 and I can already see there will be carnage when teams are named! Can’t wait to get started

I think fwd line structures will change to a 2 premo, Cogs and a couple of these low end mid pricer types now. Also can't ever recall starting with over $124k rookies on the bench before, currently I have five!

Yeah nah, a huge factor of my initial interest in Brayshaw was the expected increase in TOG and CBA (he had one of the lowest gametime out of the 105+ average players, similar to Titch before he moved over from Sydney).

Cerra obviously helped but Brodie is eating huge midfield minutes at the moment.

Welcome to my team Christian Petracca and Will Brodie.
