Discussion 2022: Rate My Team

O’Driscoll, Dean & Uwland
Dean out for 9 weeks, Uwland out indefinitely with a back injury, O'Driscoll very unlikely - Freo have great depth in the mids.
So 2 certain long term zeros & 1 guy who is outside the 22 currently, will need injuries to get in or have rely on poor form from a teammate to get in.

Yeah but "rookies determine your structure", right? I'll take the chance for the both of us 
Also, I think our teams are becoming awfully cookie cutter. While I've a lot of players in the 200ks there are only really 3 bona fiide mid prices in Hewitt, Cripps and Rowell, each with a decent argument for being picked. So while it isn't officially MPM, hopefully the better spread of points in this setup avoids the 30s and 40s from failing rookies enough to make up for the lack of the 2 uber prems in the middle. Like I said, I have enough captain's options to feel comfortable there
If some decent 123 or less rookies show up with scoring power, I'll be happy to bring them in!

The article I read was on fox sports, and it said "Ryder could make a return on Friday", but now that article says nothing of the sort (may have been amended or I'm looking at the wrong article?) and the AFL website is saying Ryder is unlikely to play and only did half a session today. Looks like Ryder is not playing after all
I still think my side is a lot safer with no Marshall so I'll probably stick to it, but you should be free to start Marshall in fantasy

Each are pretty popular picks on their own. I haven't really researched it much but reckon having all 3 will be pretty uncommon, mainly because you are either going Neale at M2 or wasting Ward on the bench and noone really wants to do that
But hopefully 300+ppg for a smidge over a mil. Should be a bit of an edge in that, injuries permitting. Then there's the more robust backline that Hondo just mentioned

This is probably one of the bigger conundrums most coaches are facing, which two of Brodie, Curnow, McGovern, Xerri. For what it's worth I've got Gov ahead of the rest of them and Xerri second if he is given prominent ruck role. I don't trust Brodie's job security, lowish tog in pre-season games, no Fyfe in their side but can still score and not considering Curnow.
Same. You take a change in role over a change in team any day and that means Gov and Xerri are in over Brodie. I wish Curnow the best except for when he plays our mob - reckon with our depleted backline, he should have a field day if your bolstered mids do the job over ours.
If Gov or Xerri is a bust, then it's straight to Ralphsmith or spend my excess on getting Brodie in. This buys me time to see where they're at for a couple of weeks.

Huge Heeney fan (must have commented on him a million times by now) , curious to see if and how KH changes his midfield , still expect Boak & Wines to be the major players.
Amon , Butters , Gray , Houston , Drew , Rozee , SPP etc might all share rapid rotations to try and mix things up.
KH doesn't like to change things up to much though , might not have a choice though if they wish to take the next step.
Agree about D Stephens , my problem now will be just panicking and picking too many rookies that are named and vanish by Round 3-4.
