Structure: I have a 2/4/2/3 premium setup. I can’t see me going 12 premiums with the amount of good MP options on offer.
I have 2 MP on the DEF, MID, and FWD lines. Gives the team a lot of balance I feel and should be easy enough to correction trade out of it if things go pear-shaped.
I have a 2/2/0/1 rookie setup on field. I’m pretty comfortable fielding all of these guys as well as McKenna and Phillips.
My VC/C will be Laird and Bont. Using Madden as a loop, I can use this combo for the first 6 rounds. Dunkley and Steele may also be used as VC options.
Players:
Defence:
Docherty: I believe he’s D1 this year. With a bit of midfield time I think he’ll average around the same as last year, maybe a bit higher.
Dawson: Should finish top 6 again. I love his consistency which makes it harder for others to jump on him. I see a similar average to last season.
Yeo: I haven’t had a team without him. Could average 105+ IF he stays fit. Potential keeper.
Crozier: Someone who has only come onto the scene recently. I think he has 80 in him. He averaged 79, 75, 76 from 2018-2020. He’s been taking a few kick ins in match sims and the preseason game. JS may be a bit iffy but I personally think he’ll be fine, especially with the Duryea injury.
Ginbey: Lock. 99SC from 56% TOG by a rookie. Enough said.
Constable- : JS may be an issue when Powell and Weller are back. His scoring power is awesome though. Taking kick ins a bit of a bonus too. Should have no problem making 150k if he stays in the team.
McKenna: Should score decently if selected. He’s exactly what Brisbane need so I think plays. Can be played on field too if required.
Wilmot: Same as McKenna pretty much. Think his chances of playing are a bit slimmer than McKenna but I also think he’s there Round 1.
Midfield:
Laird: Absolute gun. I hope his ownership stops rising, I liked it when it was only 10%
. Just doesn’t have a bad game which makes him extremely hard to upgrade to.
Bont: Lock. Shouldn’t be required up forward anymore with the amount of key forwards they have now. He’s also a CD love child. My Brownlow tip.
Steele: I’m a little concerned over his fitness so he’s probably the mid premo that first makes way. Obviously underpriced though and could go back to the 120 days. Bit of FOMO here.
Green: I’m not as confident on him as some others but definitely has top 8 potential. He has the Round 15 bye so I can trade him out then if he’s not performing at keeper levels. He’ll be an Uber premo in 3 years…
Hopper: Lock. All he needs to do is average 95 which he should do with ease. Ownership is falling to which I like to see.
Callaghan: I love this pick. I honestly can see him going at 100 if he gets a few CBA’s. If not, he may only be 80+ which is more than enough for the price.
Ashcroft: Lock. That’s it…
Mackenzie: Really liked what I saw in the preseason game. Should have good JS in that Hawks side. Think he goes 70-75. Hopefully doesn’t turn out like Ward
Phillips: Will still score decently despite his score in the preseason. Sits at M9 currently but may end up as M8 next week. He’s getting CBA’s so you would think his floor would be pretty good.
Baker: Solid scoring potential but not the greatest JS. The statement saying he wasn’t going to play the preseason game before Duryea got injured doesn’t exactly fill me with confidence. But fair to say he took his chance when he came on. You have to pick him I think, real shortage of bench mid rookies.
Cincotta: Hoping he plays over Cowan and I think he does. Gets in on his age and experience in senior football. Probably doesn’t score great but only needs to go at 50 odd priced at 102k. Although if he’s only scoring 50’s he’ll probably get dropped. I’m not too sure who’s the better player at actually defending out of him or Cowan though. Some insight would be appreciated.
Rucks:
Darcy: Jackson doesn’t affect him too much I don’t think. Freo’s midfield has got more depth now which benefits him. Brayshaw, Brodie, Serong, O’Meara and even Fyfe at the FWD stoppages. Same bye as Marshall a bit of a problem.
Marshall: Lock. Underpriced for what he can do. Hopefully Campbell doesn’t play.
Madden: Loop.
Forward:
Dunkley: Lock.
Rozee: May take the next step, just need Port to give him a good opportunity. Not that confident on him but like him over Cogs/Gulden.
Taranto: Lock. Had him in my team all preseason. Top 6 this year. If he fixes up his kicking he could be a top 8 mid
.
Ziebell: Love his role. Very similar to 2021, just a little worse. Would be handy if Clarko kept Hall in the 2’s. 95-100.
Flanders: He has proved he doesn’t need CBA’s to score. He just got 30 touches playing mainly HFF/Wing (6 CBA’s). Don’t really get why some people aren’t getting him because ‘Touk is coming back’… he’s not getting CBA’s anyway so doesn’t affect him much at all.
McLean: Lock. Proven scoring history. He’s too good of a player to be averaging <65 even with the terrible role he has. Only an injury or two away from getting CBA’s I think. Treloar’s bound to do a hammy in the first 6 weeks right lol.
Greene: Rock solid JS. Should see a few spike games. Think you have to take him with the lack of options.
Davey: Should have decent scoring. JS not great but hopefully he can prove himself in the first few games to cement a spot in the best 22. Sub risk is a worry.
