I'm thinking of having a rookie at D1 and having Parker at M8.

That dosen't surprise us meow

Go for it. One less coach to worry about in the pursuit of the 50k.

If there are 8 playing defender rookies come Rd. 1, I'd love to see this

Lloyd at D4 but its a lot of money to spend in defense.

Got Sicily there now with McGrath at D5.

Really? I just can't spend that much money on the line that is usually the lowest scoring.
I've got Sicily at D4 rookie D5 and even that looks too back heavy. Rather have Sicily in fwds but struggling to find another D4 not sold on Brayshaw or McGrath. He can be moved fwd later tho.
D4 is giving me the s#!#s I just want to  play a rookie and load up on other lines like usual.

Birch is there now but may have to bring in another premo if he doesn't get up. Still have an open mind to Bonner.

It's usually the worst line but the forwards are worse these days. Better premo options in defence than forward

5 of the listed defenders averaged 99+ last year compared to 1 forward. Don't mind spending up bigger down back than front but I think McGrath at D5 is a little excessive.

Yep. Happy to bat deep in both DEF and FWD this season.

Bundy currently F5.

That's true, however that could turn around to the opposite again this season. Depends a bit upon fwd and backline players getting mid time Heeney,Billings,Walters,Smith,Petracca etc. in fwds and Brayshaw,McGrath,Ellis,Lloyd etc. in backs.

So everyone 100% off Birchall then? Is the perfect D4.... injury worse than first thought?

This is from 4 days ago in an article and it put me off

Racing to be ready: Grant Birchall's pre-Christmas arthroscope on his right knee was concerning, because he was again dealing with the swelling and soreness that saw him undergo a PCL reconstruction in August. He is back running, but his return date is unclear.
