No Goldstein? Heresy!!! (Look for Details!)

[IntegralX]

Backs: H. Shaw, A. Rance, R.Laird, M. Dea, N. Broad. M. Hartley (AMT, T. Ruggles)

Mids: N. Fyfe, P. Dangerfield, GAJ, D. Hannebery, T. Rockliff, T. Liberatore, C. Mills, C. Oliver (C. Menadue, J. Gresham, R. Davis)

Rucks: N. Naitanui, C. Sinclair (D. Wyatt)

Fwds: D. Martin, M. Barlow, S. Gray, D. Wells, B. Kennedy, S. Kerridge (M. Brown, M. Adams)

Cash: 20.1k

DEF: I think Rance > Houli; I've outlined a couple of times previously that once Yarran comes back Houli's scores will suffer a little bit.

MID: I've selected Hannebery over Pendlebury. I believe this year Hannebery breaks into the "super-elite-premium" midfielders  Considered B. Crouch as a stepping stone but ultimately I see Mills/Oliver generating me more cash at the cost of a few points. Additionally, I'm not sold on him. 40 touches in SANFL doesn't impress me as much as some of you others around here :P

RUCKS: I want NN's high ceiling, might switch him to Mummy though. Beams being out indefinitely scares me off Martin a little.

FWD: I'm backing Dusty in; not too concerned about his NAB 3 (although it was awful). Cookie cutter forwards.


Q: Callum Sinclair? Why?
A: Sinclair could be a star at 400k tapping to that Sydney midfield; his NAB form was scintillating and I suspect NAB 3 where he scored 75 is his floor. Additionally, I believe that Kurt Tippett is in Sydney's bottom 6 players and if they start slow out of the gate, he'll be culled.

As far as getting Goldstein in, North have a rough draw at the start and I'm hoping his price drops. In an ideal world, he regresses towards the mean and averages the same as the other elite rucks. I intend to swing Sinclair forward when I get a second ruck, be that Goldstein or other. I'm not a fan of Grimley, Currie, or any of these other garbage RUC/FWD DPP.

Additionally, I've sold myself on the idea that Hannebery + Sinclair > Goldy + Crouch. Yes, I realise the insane risk I'm taking.

Rookies are Rookies and are subject to change.

Thoughts?

Gray is a risk. Greene or hall i like more in that price range. Mids are good. Defence looks solid.

Thanks. I know a lot of people like Hall but I believe what we saw in that NAB game was his absolute ceiling. I don't think he will go 100.

Additionally I'm not sure what id do with the extra 55k.
