Expect a lot action when SC Picker available next week.

Ryder is good value,  S Martin not worth it if Archie Smith is playing alongside him.   Beams will be up with Danger in terms of % in teams.   Like your mid rookie bench as well.     
Any news on Roughie actually playing next year?


I see Zac Merret getting M/F and being good value again.   Agree with you on poor value in Def Prems wiht Doch, Simpson Shaw all being expensive.   


Looking forward to Monday to see how it all shapes up.

Think we will be going with single ruck this year with Andrews and others giving relief for Stef.

Will bring Stef Martin back into contention if Fagan goes that way.

I really want the stefmeister but can't go past Maxy or Goldy tbh

Also got badly burnt by him last year so I'm sill hurting

[AaronKirk]

Solid standard structure.

Until we know the pricing structure of the suspended players returning we really don't know what a good structure is do we?

[Ringo]

First Attempt with release of SC Picker. $66k left to adjust rookies etc.





Stmadica is the obvious choice for loopholes given the number of late games Freo have.  Looked at Cameron but Sydney have quite a few early games. Hunter from Adelaide another option with R/F.

Marc Murphy may become a rookie once I know which rookies may start to boost defence.

Do you think Martin and Jacobs can get close to matching Gawn and Goldy? If they can this is going to help massively saving a lot of coin! What can you tell me about Barrett from Brisbane? Heard big wraps on him but haven't seen him in anyone's side yet

Nice looking team Ringo.    Impressive 15 keepers if they can all stay on the park.
Eddy, L Ryan, Myers and Berry will be popular rooks at  this stage of the season as well.

Must have looked at side before I put up correct one  :D :D (Note same as yours now)  - Was playing around a little and put wrong one up.
Barrett is picked up as a rookie though and will have to await elevation.  He was drafted as a zone selection by GWS in 2013 and we picked him up with our first rookie pick.
He starred for GWS in the NEAFL and is a speedy midfielder. Will be a definite down grade target when upgraded.

Oh haha I see now. Definitely prefer that ruck combo ;)
Is there any chance for Barrett to be upgraded before the season starts?

There is a chance we promote a rookie ro replace Jaden McGrath who retired late. We only drafted 6 players and with McGraths retirement that only gives 39 on Senior List.

would certainly turn Macrae into Ainsworth and then turn Murphy into say Treloar and Sandi into Gawn

its pretty big injury punts and even if they pay off cant see them being uber premos.

Gawn Treloar Rookie v Murphy Sandi Macrae basically.

115 115 65 (bowes) v 100 100 95

thats a even game but more cash generation to the premo squad as you wont upgrade any of Murphy Macrae Sandi and also less injury prone to the premo squad so downside is lower.
