Hey all, thought I would join in the fun and share my early team/teams.

This is my guns and rookies team which obviously requires enough playing rookies.
Therefore rookies are interchangeable.
Not very confident in any of the forward premos right now so that will be an upgrade area when they show form.

Yeo, Laird, Hibberd, O'Shea, Richards, Keefe                       Doedee, Morgan
Danger, Martin, Mitchell, Kelly, Fyfe, Bont, LDU, Garlett        Kelly, Worpel, Barry
Gawn, Nic Nat                                                                  Olango
Dahlhaus, Barlow, Lobb, Rayner, Higgins, Ahern                  Rioli, Ballenden
Only $19,200 in the bank

If the rookies are struggling Bont goes out and in comes the mid pricers like Birchall, O'Meara, Bennell etc depending which lines need help.
Have considered someone like Grundy over Nic Nat but this current team needed the extra funds and almost everyone is taking the risk. Would love a playing R3!

Most of the current rookies are guys i have read good things about in articles on afl.com.au or Herald Sun or Fox Footy facebook pages plus a couple of big wishes but who bloody knows at the moment haha. Tried to have a few DPP's too.

Byes dont look too bad.

Let us know what you think if you feel like it!

Love all the premium selections in this side and if enough playing rookies pop up your team will be off to a flyer. Although 5 def/fwd rookies doesn't seem to probable at the moment so it is good that you have a backup plan in place.

good luck for the season.

Good team overall BB strong mids and backs FWD's not so much Lobb has to be the stand alone ruck for me to pick him so time will tell with him and personally think Barlow is probably past his best but will see how he goes JLT , 95% look like going with that ruck setup so I can see maybe an opportunity for an advantage by not picking NN but good start early days :)

Good start, just wait on rookie advice

Cheers for the comments guys.
Like most here I have been making loads of changes since the team picker opened.
Want the best premos possible of course, so I am pretty set on the 3 back premos and 5 of the mid premos who I think will be top 6/8 in their position.
As said, open to changing Nic Nat.
Would like Heeney if he had a full preseason. Buddy is still a possibility> Will pick Dahl regardless, hope he will bounce back from a down year. Not sold on Billings or any others. Forward premos look a lottery at the moment. I really hope we get to see a bit from the rookies in the preseason.

Hi Bones, I think Heeney will be alright, he had a shoulder cleanout, not a reconstruction, should effect hos cardiovascular fitness.  Dollshouse I'm not so sure on so I'd pass, Billings is a lock IMO. Best of luck!

Agree re Billings, especially with Saints early fixture

SilverLion

Nice side, only major concern is Dollhouse at F1, would certainly be looking at a Heeney/Menegola/Franklin or even Billings.
