I keep changing, trying all wierd and wonderful combinations, but this is what I always come back to!
I have gone expensive rookies because they may have a bit more job security and it is easier to downgrade than find extra cash.

Think this structure that I’ve stumbled upon is the most realistic version I’ve found.
Def: Dawson, Yeo, Bowes, Goater, Ginbey, McKenna (Wilmer, Cowan)
Mid: Laird, Oliver, Miller, Bont, Hopper, Ashcroft, McLean, Phillips (Johnson, Baker, Chesser)
Ruc: Grundy, Marshall (Madden)
Fwd: Dunkley, Cogs, Rozee, Taranto, Ziebell, Bruce (van Rooyen, Comben)
Forward and even mid rookies looking to be few and far between at this early stage.

I can't see Hunter scoring well enough to be a stepping stone.
Gawn is too risky at his price point I think in a role that will have a significant time forward.
Motlop only going to score if he kicks 3 goals. Doesn't get enough of it otherwise and so many small fwds at the blues.
Liam jones I don't trust at the moment - I think you'll see him, Bruce and Keath vying for that last backline spot at the moment and not sure which way they go/ if they throw it around a bit.

Appreciate the feedback, agree with most points. I have complete faith in Jones, should start CHB. Not overly concerned with the ruck split with Gawndy. Gawn might actually score higher as a forward getting contested marks and goals, whilst rucking in the forward 50. There's a bit of risk in everyone's teams, going this way I could easily downgrade a 300k player to a rookie and upgrade elsewhere. Just can't wait to watch some games to get a feeling for our selections, only to change 10 players in your side. 😉
