My 2025 Team currently,
Flex tossing up between Liam Reidy or Lalor/Lynch
Or maybe redoing the team and trying triple ruck strat with Dekoning
Emergency/Bench will change just went with what the highest % owned rookies are.

That team looks excellent. I can't really fault it at all. Plenty of firepower in the backline which I'm finding difficult to pick.
3 real gun mids and Oliver, rookies are that wait and see.
Potentially the top two rucks and the forward line hits most of the mid price must haves
Agreed, can't fault any of it, sit and see what the pre-season games and round 0-1 teams bring and adjust as required.
With all the injuries finally updated the team to what i think will work although bye rounds 3,12,16 are an issue:
Not sure on all the rookies atm.
Bye Round Structure:
R2 - Leake
R3 - Zorko, Perryman, Neale, Ashcroft, Sheldrick, Smith, Daicos
R4 - Merrett, Tsatas
R12 - Sheezel, xerri, TDK, JHF, SPP, Daniels
R13 - Ryan, Odriscol, Macrae
R14 - Perryman, Daicos, Sheldrick, Lynch
R15 - Boallen, Flynn, Oliver
R16 - Leake, Zorko, Neale, Ashcroft, Merrett, Tsatas, Smith
RDS 3, 12 and 16 are massive problems

Thinking Zorko to Sinclair might be a start to help with bye structure.
Rd 0 revised games may help some.
In other cases by the time of the byes some should have been upgraded/downgraded woould not be overly worried just watch who you bring in. Rd 12 is probably the only real issue but you are not alone in that/
Personally would have liked Zorko as well but due to the Rd 12 bye.
Your top 3 defenders are excellent, I don't think you could end up with a better starting D1-D3.
Having Neale, Daicos and Merrett is also huge. My one worry now with Merrett is apart from the early bye, we lose a game down the track in the very last round of the season. If one is going to be expendable, I think it's him right now.
It's a pretty hard team to fault, having 2 defensive rookies on field seems like something we're all hoping for, I just don't know what the scoring is going to be like. With the flex, it is probably redundant and Allan gives you some DPP flex to move him to your midfield bench as a slow burn if he does suck early.
Teams Great, bye structure is fine as rookies don't matter.
I'm not sold on Lynch. Key forwards are always hit and miss. He will definitely get the number 1 defender each week. Also with the tigers likely struggling this year may not be too many opportunities for him. Hopefully get proven wrong cos I took him last year before injury

8 games in 2 years, poor supply, not a noted ruck, copping the best defender every match. I'm actually surprised he's way more popular than SPP.
Lynch can be an 80-90 player in a crap team, at his price he does feel like a no brainer. The worry is his body
