Solid team, pretty similar to the majority of the ones going around. The small thing that stands out though is that your forward line bats deep, and as a result, your mids a little short. Don't mind the idea, but just feel that you have bit too much risk with your forwards.

[shaker]

Yep perfect cookie cutter team with a couple of PODS sit on this till rookies become clearer  ;)

[Money Shot]

Sound structure assuming defender rookies get up.

Grundy with Cox could be a concern but he is going to be one of the best ruckmans in the league for a very long time and will take his game to the next level at some point. Could be this season.

I can't bring myself to like De Goey, think I would prefer Petrecca at the similar price but can understand the hype around him.

Apart from that it is a really good side.

Love the Zorko pick.

Thanks Guys!
starting 5 mid premos in the past has allowed me to create more even teams and to ensure any of the positions arent sacificed.

I only got Grundy in yesterday due to hearing doubts on Nic nat. I intend on picking on of Goldy, Kreuzer or Grundy (or nic nat). The reason why i like Grundy is because he is young, full of talent and has potential to continue to improve.

Degoey is just a place holder atm. i do feel its worth picking cheaper options in the forward line this yeah due to the lack of top tier players. If the giants are using lobb as their no.1 ruck, 400k is pretty cheap for someone who will potentially average between 90-95. Guys like Petracca, Degoey, acres, walters, mclean are all chances of being good pick ups

Good team mate, a bit balls-out picking Grundy knowing that Cox will play in tandem with him

team update: have made a massive 14 changes since in originally team.

What does everyone think? The main issues i have is possibly having too many midpriced players and not having enough cast in the bank

Love the Zorko pick. Wish I could fit him in.
On your midpricers, Smith and Coniglio are picked as keepers,or very late season upgrades at worst.
Sicily is more risky but if he plays mostly back he should also be a keeper or backup D7/F7 at worst.
Bundy is in most teams and is almost an expensive rookie with 90+ scoring history.
That leaves Armitage who should make cash and score well as a stepping stone to a Premium.
Forward line is same as mine but I've got Sicily back atm. No arguments there!
Grundy could pay off, he'll only get better and even with Cox he is good around the ground and will hopefully kick a few goals resting fwd for u.

[Samsturmfels]

Thanks Ubeaut, I put Sicily in my side today but still unsure if I'll keep him due to him be a bit of a flog

Why pick Armitage? Do you see him as a top 8 MID? If not I'd suggest it's folly picking him.  I'd just pick a rookie instead.

Of course i dont see him as a top mid, however what he does have is lots of value if you pick him. Here are the facts
1) only 312k
2) priced at roughly a 66 average
3) in his previous 5 years he averaged at least 86 each year and in 2015 average 110
4) is only roughly 110k more than the expensive rookies
5) id say he has good job security when fit

Yes st kilda's young players have developed since his last full season and the midfield depth has grown, but i feel he can still can provide solid leadership and experience on the field. If Armitage does well again next JLT ill be locking him in.

Nothing wrong with having Armitage, I personally think his midfield is going in too light and I don't have Armitage myself as I only allow 1 med pricer in the middle which belongs to Mr Coniglio but Armitage as a pick is fine, should go up at least 130-150k in price which is better and safer than a lot of rookies.

There is more than one way to play SC. There are no rules. Sure, there are guidelines that may help but thinking outside the box and taking a few risks is what can give u an edge, along with smart trading.
Example keeping Shaw all year cos u couldn't bring yourself to break the " don't trade a Premium unless LTI" rule hurts. Those who saw no likely improvement and traded to say Hurley were ahead.
Of course Armitage and JOM won't be top 8 otherwise everyone would have them. But this game is about points and numbers, and points per dollar.
Armo and JOM are priced at  around 55, both can avg 95+. A premo costs twice as much but will only score 15 more points (110). Any way u look at it they are valuable picks in points per dollar terms. They will score u more points than a rookie and make money.
To say u can't pick a midpricer if they won't be top 6/8/2/6 is a very narrow way to look at it.
In JOMs case u are also paying for JS which alot of Rookies just don't have. And at that price u have greater flexibility to trade up or down if they get injured or don't perform. If u have a cheap rookie that flops and u already have all the other available rookies in that position they are stuck on your bench until a sideways trade to a new rookie is possible.
Nothing wrong with picking Armo/JOM if they can avg 90 - 100 make 150 - 200 k and be a stepping stone to a Premium.

Good structure,
Not sure of Smith, prefer Barlow, likewise Walters needs that mid role to score.
Grundy with Cox getting game time seems likely to underperform as well.
May as well swap mirra to keefe for the dpp with sicily to improve your options and use sicily where your rookies are weakest

Good idea about Keefe!
