First go

[WillDel]

First go... bit early but I'm bored at work. Wouldnt mind fitting M. Barlow in if i could. Rookies will change. Thoughts?
Is the ruck MPP link applicable this year?

Pretty Solid Team -
With regards to Ruck MPP if you are going for an overall win with the multi bye rounds 11, 12 & 13 would be handy.  Still waiting to see how SC will be treating these games for League rounds and that will now doubt influence some discussions.  Rhys Stanley is the cheapest R/F at $174k at present and imo value not there.  Keep an eye on draft and see if any of the rookie rucks drafted are given an R/f if you wish to go that way.

Personally I would prefer Mundy to Barlow though and still not sold on lake but will be watching his pre season.

Also keep an eye on Zieball pre-season as well could be a nice unique for you.

Being a Brisbane supporter am sold on Zorko and Brownie is doing his first full pre season in 10 years so could be in for a big season.

Agree with Ringo pretty much. I would go for an extra premium Back as there doesn't seem to be the same depth of quality cheap backs that might play and be consistent. They're certainly there and will be but watch pre-season. At this stage imo, you're better off taking some risks on the multitude of potential rookie forwards - as premium forwards are also harder to pick early on!  good luck ;)

yeah cheers, I think the MPP ruck will depend on unique situations regarding kreuzer etc. Lake, Brown, J Roo and the Porpoise will all be watched to see if there is any value there.

Lack off MPP in the mids worries me, but when you opt for an mpp link you tend to drop scoring potential.

Will wait and see how they structure a response to the byes.

Lack of mid premiums- only 3. A team usually has 4 or more super premiums because they carry your team. Same with the back line ... Where's the money going?!

I like the fact you have only 3 premiums in the mids. I'm considering having only 2. I did the same last year and it was my best year so far. You must have some MPP rookies in your midfield though to pull it off.
