How good it is to be back!! First crack 2018.

[Ringo]

Nice team and well set up for the byes. Need to monitor Heeney and Billings who are carrying injury.

Just need to hope that you can adjust when we know which rookies are playing.  Would move Garlett to mids though to create Fwd/Dpp link. As a brisbane supporter can not see Ballanden playing Rd 1.

[Woppa15]

So this is my sit and wait team now.

Each time I come back and look at it I can’t really find anything that I would really consider changing so I’m assuming that is a good sign haha.

$55k remaining.

Def:
Laird. Hibberd. Simpson. Birchall. Richards. Cumming. (Doedee. Keefe.)

Mid:
Danger. Titch. J Kelly. Fyfe. Cripps. Brodie. T Kelly. Barry. (Stephenson. Garlett. Worpel.)

Ruck:
Grundy. Gawn. (Olango.)

Fwd:
Heeney. Billings. McLean. Bundy. Ah Chee. Ahern. (Venables. Crowden.)

- My count is 13 definite keepers. Plus possibly another 3 in Birch, Bundy, Ah Chee and if not I am confident at their prices those 3 will be good cash cows.
- I feel I have mitigated the risk by not taking any risks with players above a D4/F4 position.
- Having the expensive rookies + Bundy, Birch and Ah Chee allows me financial flexibility come JLT and time to finalise teams.

Good one to sit on, very similar to mine... so i like it!

[Money Shot]

Really like this team too. Only concern is Grundy who I think will struggle to keep his upward climb in regards to scoring with Cox in the team taking some rucks duties, in saying that he is probably the best up and coming ruckman in the comp so I can't really fault you for starting him

[Woppa15]

So, it was inevitable that I have a tinker after the first lot of JLT games haha.

Def:
Laird. Hibberd. Simpson. Siciliy. Doedee. Finlayson. (Coffield. Naughton.)

Mid:
Danger. Titch. J Kelly. Fyfe. Cripps. Brodie. Barry. T Kelly. (Banfield. Garlett. Holman.)

Ruck:
Goldy. Gawn. (Olango.)

Fwd:
Heeney. Billings. McLean. Bundy. Stephenson. Ahern. (Crowden. Fritsch.)

Obviously still awaiting rookie confirmation and performances in JLT 2 and the remaining GC vs Gee game this afternoon.
A few notes:
- I count 13 keepers, 14 with Sicily and 15 should Bundy make an 85+ avg.
- Bundy was very poor, but to be expected I guess as he has been out of footy for an extended period.
- Sicily I think is a complete and utter twat!! But if he plays down back and with DPP could be a worthy pick.
- Heeney was very rusty, hopefully improves in JLT 2.
- Backbone of my side has remained solid, only continuing changes are from F4/D4 onwards.
- Biggest concern is minimal cash remaining.
- Also toying with the idea of dropping Bundy for Byrne via Sicily to FWD.

[Money Shot]

Really like this side good depth on all lines.

cant fault any of the picks individually.

[Woppa15]

So I’ve had another tinker haha.

- Ignoring the Dangerfield injury for the moment as if I need to replace him
I will be holding the extra cash so I could bring him back in ASAP anyway.
- Rookies obviously awaiting confirmation.
- Not convinced on Sicily at D3, dropped Simpson to him but allows me to have Lobb and Coniglio in place of Bundy and a rookie.

Def:
Laird. Hibberd. Sicily. Doedee. Murray. Finlayson. (Keefe. Payne.)

Mid:
Danger. Titch. Kelly. Fyfe. Cripps. Coniglio. Brodie. Kelly. (Banfield. Coffield. Holman.)

Ruck:
Goldy. Gawn. (Olango.)

Fwd:
Heeney. Billings. McLean. Lobb. Fogarty. Ryan. (Crowden. Fritsch.)

[Woppa15]

Final team pending round 1 team announcements

Def:
Laird. Hibberd. Simpson. Coffield. Doedee. Murray. (Naughton. Payne.)

Mid:
Danger. Mitchell. Kelly. Fyfe. Cripps. Coniglio. Brodie. Kelly. (Finlayson. Banfield. Holman.)

Ruck:
Gawn. Goldy. (Olango.)

Fwd:
Heeney. Billings. Smith. Bundy. Fogarty. Venables. (Fritsch. Giles - Langdon.)

$18.8k remaining

Very comfortable with this side, wouldn’t mind having a little more cash left over but $ on the park = points for guess.

[PowerBug]

Who's Payne and will he play? If not you should have a plan to find someone that is.

No Andrew Brayshaw?

[Ringo]

Payne will definitely not be named for Rd 1. He will be allowed to find his feet in NEAFL as he is being groomed for the fullback position. So would look at him to another rookie as you do not want a non earning rookie apart from R3 on bench. Look at the Murphys from Geelong or Carlton and select one that is named.
With the cash you have I would go Brodie to Brayshaw.  Think Brayshaw will make cash quicker than Brodie. Despite the departure of Gazz Brodie may be a little down the line.
Premiums OK and sound bye structure.  So nail those rookies and you are set.
