Year of the expensive rookies??

[Money Shot]

My midfield setup is currently:

M1-4: Danger, Dusty, Titch, Fyfe who i see as the true 120+ candidates.
M5: Cripps who is heading into his prime and has already scored extremely well in the past (110 avg)
M6: Coniglio who I see scoring around 105 for the season and being my M8 (Murphy last season) but could change to Libba or even Redden
M7: O'meara who could go close too 100 for the season but should go 90+ meaning he will have good cash generation and also out score rookies comfortably will be a late upgrade too a super premium me thinks. Armitage in the same boat but just like O'meara that little bit more at this stage.
M8-M11: Barry, Kelly, Banfield and Holman who all look good for a 65 average at basement price. If Worpel looks best 22 he is also in the same boat.

D5 and F5 look secured by Doedee and Fritsch leaving only D6 and F6 who could be occupied by a Coffield/Stephenson type or a Finlayson/Garlett type. I am confident in rookies this season so don't think going expensive is the way to go at this stage.

How are you affording all that? I practically have the same set up but it can only fit in the salary cap if you have gone mid price in either forwardf4 ruckr2 or defensed4

Smith, Petracca, Sicily is my current F1-F3

Too weak, you need to stack the forward line otherwise the Sicily link will be largely redundant. No way could you expose 3 forward rookies. I'm reluctant to play even 2.

I dunno, having Bundy at F4 with 2 rookies, or maybe Stephenson and a 123k isn't that weak.

Though if starting Sicily and Smith, the 3rd prem would have to be someone proven IMO.

Small forwards versus rebounders, I'd be backing the defence rookies every day of the week. Stephenson offers a little more but he comes with a price tag.

have got enough money in the bank to make Petracca Heeney but I really think Smith and Petracca are in for big years.
