I have seriously got no idea what to do now

Where the hell do I field Menadue? Can't decide if M9, F6 or F7

F7 with the E makes most sense, but I want McCarthy and Tippa on fwd bench

Doing my head in

I have to have him M9, otherwise can't fill M9-11 with playing rooks

The fact that we don't know if rookies are going to be elevated yet really has me stumped

I've currently got Davis and Tippa in my side, but if they don't get promoted, or if someone like Gresh doesn't get named then I have to completely redo my side and having Menadue locked in a certain spot would limit my movements. Really stumped

Some boat as me, I've freaked out a bit, but now I'm just chilling until the start of the 50 mins of madness that is going to happen tomorrow night  8)

What will kill me is if McCarthy is named on the extended bench :-X Will we know the Monday final cut before the GCvEss game???

Nope. Final teams for that game will be Sat arvo/evening

I'm busy tomorrow night so don't have too much time in that 50 min window so just need to figure it out now

Menadue I would be happy to field at F6, but I think M9 or F7 with the E is sensible, but then if I fall short with rookies in the fwd line because someone we expect to play doesn't get named it flowers me

I've gotten to the point of throwing Macaffer in!

Not expecting much, but if he plays half forward instead of tag he could be okay.

In the leadership group so JS would be solid

Same dilemma. As a forward he starts, but if I need him on the mid bench he doesn't ..

His JS and scoring potential aren't any worse than Mills and Oliver and he is 30k cheaper

I have shaw in the back line .:: if the other lads not promoted or named shaw will have to go to facilitate other rookies

Menadue or bennedy for the E on forward bench is the way to go

Monitor score and play Adams or tippa if bad performance ... I'm starting McCarthy on field

I have him at M8 atm. If Grimley is not named use him as loophole for Menadue..providing u have him as F7 or R3 with ruck cover in Fwds

Averaged 54 and 60 in '13 and '14. Mills and Oliver should go 75-80

All right I'm set :)

Gresham, McCarthy, Dea, Brown, Hartley and Adams all play I'm laughing

One misses out, still fairly happy after a small shuffle

Two or more miss, I'll laugh but its a "I have to laugh or I'll cry" kind of laugh :)

Note: Have planned on Tippa not playing, if named it all gets a little easier  ;)

LordSneeze

Ive put Menadue at M9 mainly because im no confident there will be enough rookies to fill 4 spots. 3 might still require a downgrade to bring in Oliver for M8

Bill Manspeaker

I'm pretty sure Gresh plays. apparently Richo loves him and he's had nothing but good things to say about him so I can definitely see him playing

What was his TOG in nab1, sure they like him but does he have the tank to run out games? would love some insight, cheers.

RaisyDaisy

Well its official, I've caved in and have Mills

I really want to make sure I've got good depth making money so had to drop Jelwood down to Mills to bolster up my def and fwd

Really wanted Jelwood with Crouch at M8 - such a juicy midfield, but my def and fwd benches would be relying on 102K guys to get elevated and play regularly, and I think that's too risky for now
