Nice side. Your comments about the DPP changes are most interesting to me. In my mind they actually reduce the appeal of a Butters/Heeney type pick (because they’re less likely to be a top forward) and increase the appeal of higher end premiums and cheaper players who can act as cash cow placeholders on field.

Little tweak to enable 4 onfield rookies
D: Lloyd , Whitfield * , Sicily , Milera , Coleman * + 3
M: Macrae , Steele , Mitchell , Neale , Berry , Constable , Horne-Francis , Daicos / Ward , Butler * , Clark
R: Darcy , Big O / Hayes
F: Dunkley * , Duncan * , Heeney , Coniglio * , Curnow + 3
12-6-12
Just need the 6 value players to all work until Bye time
Horne-Francis & Daicos get DPP after Round 6 , then hopefully Clark & Ward are scoring well enough to play onfield in their place.

I currently have Butters, no doubt in my mind he averages 100+ , my main concern is the way he plays the game, combine this with a light frame and injuries follow.
Heeney agreed, the big tease…..again, I am confident he can go 95+ but with DDP changes round 6,12 I am thinking a F6 needs that 100+ capability.

That’s what I’m thinking regarding the 100+.
Butters may well be capable of it, but I’m mindful that it’s a pretty high bar.
There are only 30 M eligible players that averaged 100 last year, or <2 per side. That means that guys like Butters or Heeney that we may be looking to go 100+, will typically need to be their side’s best or second best SC mid, having not played full time mid in 2021. Some will be able to do it, but I think most will struggle to hit that mark.

Start Heeney & Sicily , if they both don't look like being Top 10 in their positions after 6 Rounds , upgrade them to premium mids via the anticipated DPP of JHF , Daicos (maybe Constable) , might only need around $ 300k.
Heading into Round 7 we will then know the first assignment of DPP's so the Forward situation might be a lot clearer then as well.

Besides the fact they have implemented the new rules, the best thing about the DPP swing introduction is it has us all talking about it pre season and already everyone has different thoughts and potentially approach on how to go about it, its great.
I never play anything else besides SC so i wouldn't know in the other formats a list of all players who gained DPP at week 6, ect. I've heard there were a few juicy ones like josh kelly. To continue on from a comment before, about picking heeney/butters when they might not be the top6 with intro of DPP - how do we know? what if we don't get anyone decent like fyfe, danger, ect. Also would you want to bring in these guys anyway as the role would mean less points (unless of course we know they are starting to play more midfield time again after securing the DPP).
Heeney is someone i have never really selected, at times wish i had of and then at times glad due to injury. He has been a bit unlucky think he had glandular fever a few years back. But its different for him this year - they have lost Dawson and Hewett, the fact that Longmire has even said on a tweet that his role has changed and he's been good in training - the dude is literally going to be playing up the ground more, they have to run him through there now as they will be without JPK soon in particular. I've never been burnt by him, an di think this is the year to have him.
Butters i must admit i'm hesitent - and he does look a bit kamikaze, but he just looks like he was meant for SC for mine. Gets lots of one-twos handballs, tackles, and has shown a good ceiling.
Long story short i do think these guys will be really good picks

I've been doing some structural experimentation to try to find a balance between not underspending on rookies but also not taking too many speculative punts on midpricers. The problem with 4-5-2-2 is that it leads to barely any rookie spend whatsoever, and 4-5-2-1 leads to selecting a couple of midpricers; one being Cogs. Of course, a midpricer could work this season but I prefer to avoid them.
The 3-6-2-1 team is basically 4-5-2-1 taken to the extreme; enough spare change to be able to afford decent rookie spend in defence and in the midfield; but the forward line is extremely flimsy; I myself don't care about the point output of such a structure; but it does require the rookies to actually be selected.
The 5-3-2-3 is probably the most solid lineup I can come up with; with the exception of missing out on a couple of uber gun mids; it's definitely not easy to leave them out; but in return, there's big spend on rookies; the backline is very solid and up forward there's room to take a punt on a couple of breakout contenders.
For most people, Dawson would be Hall in either structure; for the 3 defender structure, I could pick Short or Ridley in place of Dawson. Additonally, in the 3-6-2-1 structure, Titch could be Walsh.
I believe Sicily was playing his traditional intercept role, as least for the first 2 of the 3 quarters played. Only going off a fan report, couldn't find anything from the club.
He is in my team for now. I doubt he will end up a top 6 defender, but he's 100K cheaper than those who will and he shouldn't be far off.
