Hey mate, looks like you prefer the mid-pricers this year, can't say it appeals to me!

For me I can count only 10 keepers, with the potential for another 1 or 2. In comparison, mine has 14 (not including Lobbe or Libba who could make it).
Personally I suggest downgrading a few of the riskier picks to enable you a more solid foundation for your team.

Interesting Team here.

Possibly too many mid pricers here.  O'Meara may not be ready for round 1 so would lookat downgrading him to a rookie and using cash to get another super prem in. Maybe upgrade Stringer to a Martin or Dahlhous.

Would also look at using only one of Sinclair or Berger in the forwards, Would downgrade Currie ro one of the Kings and upgrade the other to maybe Nat or Jacobs.

Too much risk in that team man for what looks to be minimal reward.

Stick to maybe 1-2 risks per line and fill the rest of the team with relatively proven scorers.

Team update, it looks massively different to my first team. Both Williams and Sinclair im really contemplating if i should actually pick them. Still have a very useful 90k in the bank. What do u think?

[Bully]

Don't think you can afford to run with Sinclair at R2, I would be inclined to downgrade Williams to a rookie and get a true premo.

[Ringo]

I would downgrade Williams to Weitering or other playing rookie and upgrade Sinclair to to a rem ruck may even give you enough to get Goldy. Would also look at Mason Cox as R3 as I do not think Michael will play much will be competing with Jamar if Berger is only out for a few games.  Cox aslo gives you the flexibility of using Grimley to cover for prem rucks for one or 2 weeks if necessary.

Cox aslo gives you the flexibility of using Grimley to cover for prem rucks for one or 2 weeks if necessary.

And also something that hasn't been mentioned for quite sometime  - the forward loophole. With Menadue playing plenty of early games and Petracca playing plenty of late games you have the perfect scenario, the same goes with B.Kennedy. One just needs to swing Menadue to the fowards, place the E on him and watch for the big scores to roll in. The stars have aligned nicely with Richmond playing 3 Friday night games in the first 4 rounds. Collingwood play Richmond in round 2 so Cox becomes redundant but those with Max King will be well set.

Thanks guys, the issue i have is if i were to trade Williams, i wouldnt get another rookie as it seems to risky. If i were to get weitering still wouldnt have enough cash to get goldy. 700k is just too much, im not saying hes not worth it, its just that its a big chunk of your salary cap of your starting team. If i were to get another ruck premo, id either have to not have goldy for the whole season or waste a trade. By having sinclair he should hopefully slightly increase his value and then i could jump on goldy whens hes a little bit cheaper. also im not a fan of picking king as you could easily make some cash from those other ruck options.
