Modified my first team into my starting squad of players i will look to select from

[King Cripps]

Very strong team. Good too see you have some cash left over.

Macmillan I'm not too sure on how ever but defence is never going to be that strong anyways so he could pay off.
Meyers I'm not too sure on either but he is cheap so why not.
Your other POD's look strong.

Great start.

Cheers mate, completely missed this reply!

I was all over jmac last year and then dropped him before round 1, regrettably so...
You ask Essendon supporters about Meyers I think they'd be saying "as long as he's fit he's a lock".

I like Merrett from them as well up forward, thinking he's got potential to shine and push for more midfield orientated role.

[creeker]

Nice start FT13.

Only issue for me is going with all 4 injury returning mids.
Libba, Jaeger, Crouch and Myers. Big risk, but could pay off. Hope they all have good starts and make you some coin.

Really like the pick of Zac Merrett. The lad is a tackling machine. I think with Chappy now retired and Melksham traded, this should only improve his scores.

Only other suggestion would be to swap Kommer for Petracca. Kommer has missed the past 2 seasons with knee tendonitis. He was meant to turn up to training last week and was a no show. Think he is done and dusted.

Great squad for this early stage of the pre season mate.

[fasttrack13]

Cheers creeker!
It is a big risk, but I'm reasonably confident on all but crouch. If Meyers is at 200k like fanplanner suggests then I think he's a must have no matter what... Have to watch all of them through preseason, and pray!

I rate Merrett, hopefully he turns his on field performances to quality points...

Couple of modifications of my team to come...

What are everyone's thoughts on Matthew Jaesnch too?

[TomK]

Won't be back til early mid year and not a lock in 22 at that stage as well.

Cheers mate, I'll edit my comment from your thread then! P.seed could be the go!

Although I'm going to need to hold the cash for actual prices, be good to know how and if you would all use it...
*Bolded are the changes*

[Antho Witto]

Great start mate.

Do you think Malceski will get back too those 90ish averages??
Not sure if I would be confident on all 3 of Libba, Crouch and O'meara but I can see why you would start them.
I think Meyers to a rookie would be worth while but you clearly like him.
Good to see you have cash left over.

Swallow is a great option,  probably bring in Harwood for Sharenberg.   Like C Byrne in rookie backs.    If Malceski role doesnt change he will need to be changed out.
Agree Z Merret is likely to continue to impress and score well.   Cant really understand the reason why Meyers is so popular with early teams?

Good start FT

Malceski came back late last year with a couple of nice scores... The return of all the Gold Coast midfield (Gaz, Prestia, swallow, O'Meara) IMO will allow him more of that easy ball we saw him collect at the swans.
Concerning the mid prices in the midfield, they're all guys who have the ability to be keepers for the year. having them at M4/5/6 with 3 pure guns ahead of them takes a lot of the risk out of them. I think it's the M.Murphy and Beams situation from a couple of years back, they're a must.
As for Meyers if he is 250kish he's a lock for me... A guy who has his spot cemented in a teams 22 who averaged 80 playing off a half back flank is amazing value, plus he will play mid probably starting mid too this year...

Does Harwood take Adcock's place at HB automatically @brisbansupporters?
I think Malceskis role was due to the amount of injuries in the gold coast side.
Read up a comment for Meyers^
Thanks mate, I'll take a look at your team!

Not on FP mate , but similar price to John Butcher imo.
