They both have a round 3 game, Brisbane have requested they play the game instead in Round 3. So all Cats and Lions would no longer have an early bye. Zorko, Neale and Ashcroft are all arguably locks. Holmes comes into contention and Stewart is almost a lock as well at his price

That would be great for my side!

A fixture change could open a few doors, Houston was never part of the conversation but he could be if Holmes & Stewart are playing round 3. Downgrading Whitfield to Petracca also allows me to go English up to Xerri, much easier to start with him rather than attempt to get him on the price drop. Can always reassess after 2 rounds and buy any other top performer, Flynn could be handy under those circumstances.

Cyclone looking likely to hit landfall, Fagan is spot on 'safety first', Supercoach aside, people need to get their animals out of harms way and bunker down until things subside.

Good call by the AFL, both matches postponed so all the Cats, Lions, Suns & Bombers back in the frame.

I don't think so, looks like Lions and cats might play on their round 3 bye so no early bye for them.

But due to the suns and bombers having had different early byes they will probably be scheduled for later in the season, so they still have the early bye.

Fair enough, Merrett & Neale less appealing but they weren't in the frame for me.

Quick question, I can just squeeze in O'Sullivan but at the expense of Kako & Knevitt, worth it or not? Would leave me with a 113k player like Campo on the bench. The thinking is Kako will have some quiet games and might be too inconsistent. Knevitt almost borderline best 22.

I think it is worth it, O'Sullivan is a gun has the role. I'll most likely do similar, knevitt and sheldrick up down to him and basement rook, or is O'driscoll sub him straight to O'sullivan, but O'sullivan looks like a lock.

Kako has inconsistent scoring ahead of him so he'd be the easy one to cut.

Playing round 3 means all their games count now. That's a bonus.

This is close to being settled, I'm hoping either Trainor or Bice get the nod otherwise it's back to the drawing board.

I've picked Clark on the grounds he's in a very strong line-up, very consistent last year and should keep it up. Bye friendly in the early rounds, Houston & Whitfield missing in rounds 2 & 3.

My last draft actually looks super similar to this and has Jordan Clark as well

It's a pretty great looking team, I can feel mine changing a few times between now and round 1, but I can't really fault it

I think my tinkering will be limited to the rookies now, Erasmus might become Hall or another cheapie like Stone, will make a final call when I examine the team sheets.

Yeah structure is perfect and very low risk compared to mine.

Bully

Paton named for first match, 133k, definite watch list. Leake on extended bench, job security must be tenuous.

Might have to downgrade Petracca to Rozee to free up some cash.
