I don't hate the Flynn R2 option, I have tossed it up myself and it gives you an opportunity to see who the top handful of guys end up being.


Sheldrick ended up being subbed, my app says he was injured so that's not good. I really like him as a player, but he has had some knocks the last couple seasons and hasn't had the opportunity to get a decent run at it

Sheldrick out injured calls for a complete restructure, I think I'll be shedding a premo defender for a premo mid. Paton hopefully doesn't lose his spot.

[Colliwobblers]

Yeah Sheldrick no good not an option with others to return.

Roberts is a lock.

Xerri has a terrible early run based on his matchups from 2024, and Meek served me very well last season and he looks set for a bump so that's enough for him to make it into my side.

I had Day in my 8th team only up above, have not been sold all pre-season. Am sold now.

That allows Sanders to return to the line up.

Feel like I'm a premo short in the midfield but if 2 out of my 3 mid priced mids work it's a win.

Thats it for opening game 1 over-reactions. See what Sunday brings.

Excellent side.. I'd prefer Stewart/Sicily to Holmes but can't fault.

Isn't Sicily playing forward now?

Apperently no injury for Sheldrick. Paton should be safe, he is allowing Blakey to float around and I'd say he is ahead of Francis. McDonald is 5 weeks away and that's the only way I see them restructure where he could be pushed out with McCartin going back again

Agreed that Roberts is a lock, back end of last year, great pre-season showing and a pretty good first game in the real thing. He should make good cash worst case.

I think it's tough for rucks to back up a big season when it's their first, I'm wait and see on Xerri at his price, but I don't think I will start him either. I don't know about Meek, I liked him a couple years back and I think he can be in that tier below the top guys (like ROB), but I don't know if he will be at their level. If he was under 500k I think it's a shrewd pick, I am just not sure if I'd start him at his current price with an early bye. But the score against Grundy makes him tempting (although Grundy is pretty underdone and was in doubt)

Day had a monster first half but was completely tagged out in the second half and seems to have come up with an injury. It's worth monitoring through the week to see how he pulls up.

If you feel like you're a player short the only suggestion I have is maybe Prior to Paton and Lalor to SPP using Hewett. That should give you the cash to maybe turn Cerra into Trac or Rankine (play a DPP forward in a mid role on field) or Rozee into a gun like Serong. Just a couple options to consider if you feel you need to make the move, it does look pretty good though

Isn't Sicily playing forward now?

Played down back majority of the night and swung forward in the last I believe. Frost was the sub which was interesting.

[Colliwobblers]

Yeah thanks Mat, the early bye has been playing on my mind, both Day and Meek were massive first half, Meek was 84 at half time, Day obviously did most of his damage first half also, that tag is a concern but man does he have talent and impact, I can see SC loving him like it does bont.

Your right some def rookies shaping up so Prior can go down possibly and so can Lalor if other basement priced step up and for that matter sanders can go back down to SPP or even kako but I think SPP for the small extra will score better consistently.

I find it very hard to pick players who can be Bevo'd.

Pity we didn't get a look at four more sides. But those two Lions I had before the latest change are the most likely change I'll make in just reverting.

I do really like the idea of Richmond rooks, so much less likely to end up red dots or be vested.

[Mat0369]

Is Lalor going to play round 1? I figured he was missing with the jaw

There's some chance, but I'm wondering if you'll get similar output from Kako, I can't see Lalor spending more minutes in the midfield, at least not for the first handful of games.

Interview with coach said Trainor 100% starter and Lalor will play if he makes it through Monday training, same for Lynch.

I think Lalor is #1 for a reason and in that team he'll get full games, not sure on role but word is his form is excellent. The "experts" always said Smillie will score better but I'm more about the job security lack of vest or being dropped.

If a cheaper option looks the goods I'll get on but Camp has to be vested, the freo guys are likely to be out as quick as they are in. Saints kids the same, Kako and berry are small fwds, not ideal. The crows rooks haven't impressed.

[Mat0369]

If he's named he is in my side as well. Number 1 pick with a pretty good opportunity for solid mid minutes. Lock him in

Lalor is a lock for me if fit.

Not a lock for me, I think for 200k I'd rather get a full time mid, I think even Draper might be a better bet. Lalor hasn't got a huge tank, he'll spend most of the time in the forward line. I think his career will track like De Goey, he won't be an overnight success.

[Mat0369]

Campo named to play. One cheapie locked in
