Hey all, back on deck after a few weeks relaxing in Phuket. Now to try and catch up on podcasts, the praccie matches and seriously get my team together. It looks like there is a lot more content out there than last year from what I've seen on twitter and what's been posted on here. Any tips on what I may have missed while I've been away?

The Free Kick podcast is worth a listen.
18 clubs in 18 days has been useful, but given your time limits just listen to the 4 expansion club eps and the defender and mid line eps.
Personally i disagree with over half of their analysis quite strongly but I suspect a lot of that is due to my own biases and understanding a lot of the content was produced before prices and positions were released. They are strong fantasy players so I suspect their in season analysis will be worth a listen.
The dub website is handy, in particular the spreadsheet with prior season scores and averages and the state league averages spreadsheet.
There was also a practice match round fantasy recap somewhere, don’t remember if it was on the dub or free kick pod but it covered rucks, cbas and kickouts, partially qualitative and partially quantitative.
I intend to catch up on the AFLW fantasy pod eps on Sunday.
I am keen to find out about any other info people may have read or listened to.

Not familiar with prices of those players.
As mentioned I am going deep in defence while you are going 1-5. Which of those 5 would you get rid of if needed to slot in a premie ahead of Dufffin?
I recall reading that Baskaran missed the practice match. Worth a check whether that was the case. If so I like her underage stats but question her as an expensive bench rookie. I had her M5 before swapping her out.
Hicks - any reason for that pick, experienced but hasn’t scored highly that I recall when she was previously listed.
Phillips - presumably priced at her 2022A average, do you see her exceeding it and providing value ?

Thanks CP. I have been and checked a few of your suggestions. Just got my spreadsheet setup and have my first serious draft prepared. Will post below.
Fitted Ellie in at the expense of Hamilton (Syd) - luckily had a bit of cash left. Why do you think she will be a good/value pick?
Hey Jay Sea, similar picks especially around the cheaper players - must have been listening to the same poddies.
For interest, this is what I currently have.
Def
Ruby Schleicher (COL) $120,700
Sarah Goodwin (PTA) $43,100
Brenna Tarrant (SYD) $40,400
Alex Ballard (PTA) $28,700
Mia Busch (ESS) $28,700
(Bridie Kennedy (SYD) $28,700)
Mid
Ebony Marinoff (ADE) $176,200
Mimi Hill (CAR) $119,200
Georgia Patrikios (STK) $106,500
Montana Ham (SYD) $50,300
Abbey Dowrick (PTA) $28,700
(Alana Barba (ESS) $28,700)
(Ella Heads (SYD) $28,700) - U
Ruc
Breann Moody (CAR) $121,400
(Elizabeth McGrath (PTA) $28,700)
Fwd
Jasmine Garner (NTH) $151,000
Kate Hore (MEL) $96,900
Ellie McKenzie (RIC) $66,500
Lauren Szigeti (SYD) $28,700
Megan Kauffman (FRE) $28,700
(Aimee Whelan (SYD) $28,700)
Kate Hore may be a sentimental pick and she may be traded up to Hanks, but I will need to downgrade Moody to a cheaper ruck

@Stephen247
On Ella Roberts, she was widely regarded as the second best player in the draft behind only Montana Ham. She nominated as a priority selection for West Coast though so she slid down the draft order and is therefore priced around 15k less than she would have been.
Bonus that she can be selected as a forward too, she is expected to play as a mid/fwd.
