Yes use your phone, take 2 screen shots then attach. It seems that file space may have decreased over the last few weeks, I noticed this too. Previously it was fine, so not sure what's happened in the background if anything, maybe Jay can assist? @Impromptu

that’s all correct regarding the issues with that structure, I have Sicily at D5 and there’s a chance I’ve filled out too many spots, but my plan is to slingshot Sicily at his bye to somebody else if necessary. I’m confident that Lloyd, Ridley, Short and Whitfield will be top 8-10 and I’m confident Lloyd will be top 3. If I need to get another gun defender in the plan will be to upgrade Sicily
Reason for no Cripps?
Seems like a 50-50 chance at worst for Cripps to be a serviceable M8 in that 105 - 110 average range, which means you will be down 150k from round 1.
Feel like it's a low % play not to start Cripps imo. FWIW I hate the pick but there's just too much downside not to start with him.

I've been looking at how to get him in. I need to sacrifice Berry I think. I'd want him no higher than M4 And downgrade Xerri and McGovern which will be easier when teams are made. But cutting it fine with the Thursday game. I panic traded him in last season and it burned me all year. I know its different now lol.
I feel you need at least one of Rowell or Berry. Such obvious value there and by ignoring it you could end up $300k/one upgrade behind everyone else if Rowell say goes 105.
Miller to Rowell gets you Curnow to Treloar for example. It’s an extra premium to start provided Rowell works out. He’s in 40% of teams so if he does work out you’re behind from the get go
Rowell is more likely to be a keeper than Curnow is

Appreciate the response. I'm really going for a guns and rookies type build here however. So Rowell and to a lesser extent Berry don't really fit the build. Not prepared to drop a premium mid but I have looked into moving a JHF up to a Berry or Rowell. I agree they are tempting options but mid pricers in general are over rated from my experience. Pre season will move you towards them and then rookies always make more cash and quicker.
I feel like Curnow is being slept on around these parts a little as well!

I see Berry as an expensive rookie and more likely to get 90 as he's done it before v the expensive rookies. Very few actually cross 80. That said, I think could be faded without burning you too much. But he's a lot more bang for buck over say Ward for "only" $90K more.
Rowell is a premium in my eyes at this stage. I think you are starting one premium behind by skipping him. Particularly, as I said being so popular if he works out you're behind the 8 ball all season. Yes, it's a pain he's a mid and takes away a Steele type but so what so be it that's the cards we are dealt.
IIRC most times the $50K goes to a value strategy starting squad rather than the strict GnR but that said you've got to back in what strategy you want.

Clark via Daicos, that's my plan moving Stephens on field.
Not playing JHF in SC. Hoping Xerri isn't a one week wonder, talk of CCJ as backup and Goldy will be pissed if he plays FWD. Could change with the news of Naish who currently has replaced Xerri at F6.
On Naish i haven't seen the game, what role did he play. Opposite wing to Gaff.?

No idea on Naish sorry , don't watch any of the practice games.
Don't really know the Swans setup well enough but if Heeney & McInerney both play wing , is their enough game time for Stephens ?
No idea how many wingers they rotate through or if they predominantly play through one wing.
Goldstein predominantly forward just seems bizarre , be a interesting mix , how they structure up Round 1 could change in a few rounds in any case.
