Pure speculation, hence in this thread. 😜

Trying a different approach this year. Have not looked at SC (apart from watching the pre-season games) at all, created my first SC team today.
Have always joined upon the comp uponing in years past and by the time the season proper comes around I get myself to a point of absolute confusion between well written posts, group think, my 150 draft teams, different structures, you name it ...
Consistent results but nothing ever better than top 1,000.
I think I've fallen for a trap of trying to get the most points on field in round 1, most often through mid pricers, and then quickly struggle with cash generation.
Have learned from mistakes of the past. Trying a different approach this season and will see what comes of it. But most importantly, will try not take the game too seriously and just enjoy it and have fun.

Pushing it for being an acceptable Simpsons reference (late season 8), but I like it still.
Been rewatching the earlier seasons over the last few months (took a break with AFL prep) but by that stage, the show had gone from consistently good, to a mixture. Gets worse over the next season or two, then there's a reasonably noticeable difference in quality by season 11 or so.

I intentionally haven't had a look around SCS as yet so I'm not sure who the popular picks are.
My core is going through some final checks but looking to revolve around :
D Lloyd, Ryan
M Macrae, Oliver, Neale, Daicos
R Grundy
F Dunkley, Martin, Butters, Coniglio
I have a bunch in the 'maybe' box but want to really put some focus in to the rookies over the coming few days to work out where the value / JS is this year and can then come back to the maybe's once that structure is in place to finalise the team. Need to also have a bit of a look over the byes.
Some potentially popular picks that I will not be starting based on % ownership on SC (I know that's not always a great correlation with this site) are :
Whitfield, Sicily
Steele, Will Brodie
Gawn, Darcy
Heeney, Taranto, McGovern
I'm an eight year member to this great site and well aware of the calibre of coaches that are active and posting in this forum so I just don't want to be swayed from my own thoughts this year. I'm a sucker for group think. That's not to say that we shouldn't be having good conversations in here and challenging one another's thought processes and decisions, it's just a different starting tactic that I want to try this year, where I am 100% responsible for every pick in my team and I own it whether good or bad. I will keep myself away from browsing the other threads until next week when it all kicks off, with the exception being the rookie thread.

Used to be great back in the FFC days to lurk in other areas and see how much was groupthink kicking in and how much was just observations that make sense.
For example we all moved very quickly back towards Cripps after basically being unsighted prior to games, the recency bias of games, especially good ones, can be very strong and that emotional response that trumps all common sense analysis.

Crazy that WCE profit was more than the other 17 clubs combined when removing the equalisation, to be fair, the rest made a huge loss so this actually applies to everyone else that was profitable and even more of the losses if you remove the clubs above them 
They still beat the top 10 combined though.
Crazy how bad the majority of the clubs are when you think about how big a business they are. A total of 4 clubs had profits >$500k per year over that decade.
