Not sure on the 2 prem forward line (ive done that thing before and ddnt pay off at all =\)

[Gigantor]

I like this structure, almost the same as mine except i have Belly at F3 as I don't have the balls to go in with no ruck coverage:)
Like you I'm a lot happier with a 5 Prem mid a 2 Prem fwd than 4 and 3.
D6-D8 is still the problem, who knows what rookies are going to play and what their JS is going to be like (Thinking Tom Clurey last year >:( )

Yeah I probably won't end up with this structure, but if all those forward rookie priced guys get named round 1 and do alright in NAB, I'd me much more inclined to start them over some of the mid rookies atm. It's basically a wait-and-see for what rookies pop up in the next few weeks I guess.
Last year I started with 5 premo fwds and it flowered me over, so maybe that's why I kinda like going in with 2 this year haha.

Yeah I may end up going with Belly or someone else as F3, we'll see on that. If I do get Belly, means I could go Lobb down to a ruck/fwd rookie, giving me 60k or so, then making a slight downgrde somewhere else (e.g. Jones to Andrews), and then I can go Salem to Belly.

[Hawker_08]

Like Barlow pick, i have him too. Ave 114 unaffected and 121 last 10 games last year. Started with a 132 and 117 last year.

[GoLions]

26.5k remaining. Still keen on the weak forward line structure :o

Simpson and Shaw locked. Lumumba has impressed me thus far, so he's come in at D4. As has Geary, however been cooling off on him a bit recently. Will keep an eye on him, as well as Smedts (currently D6), Ibbo, Pearce, and one other guy ;)

Don't think any explaining is necessary for mids. Relatively bye friendly, should all go top 10 IMO. Barlow could replace one of Beams/JPK though, even with his bad bye, really think he'll do well this year. Miller, Lambert, Vandenberg all obviously only make my team if named round 1.

Got Maric at R2 now. That spot has also been occupied by Minson, Mumford, and Jacobs recently. Will monitor the fitness of NicNat though, and if he looks 100%, I'll bring him in and bank the 50k 8)
R3 will probably end up as one of the GWS rookies unless someone else is named round 1

Really liking Dusty this week. Been tossing up between him and Buddy for a while now, and Dusty has just taken the lead. Salem has done enough for me in NAB so far, as has Clark. Hogan looked good as well. Karnezis could make his way in there for Lamb or Lonie if they don't play round 1. ALternatively, Lambert moves forward, and in comes someone like Freeman.

THOUGHTS.

Oh and Cockatoo and Smedts would be on the field, not bench, but I forgot to change that.

[Rusty00]

Well I have to say it's a nice team because it's identical in team structure to mine ;)

Personally I'm not convinced with Smedts as I think he'll play a lockdown defender role and will be one of the first dropped if performances are not up to scratch, although other options really aren't much better :-\

Yeah I originally had Saad in, but was left with like 200k so used some of it to get Smedts in again after dropping him last week. If Saad is named round 1, he starts, and gives me some cashola. But yeah, like you said, not a lot of options in that price range :-\

Love your work Davos.

Some good picks there, not too much to fault.

Not a fan of having Nathan Brown, I'd look to improve your D6 somehow.

Also reckon you need 3 premo forwards rather than 2, Salem as F3 makes me a tad nervous.

Smedts is D6 in case you missed that, just forgot to put him on field :P

And I dunno who to drop to bring in another fwd haha

Ah yeah, of course. What's the plan if Smedts isn't good to go? Just getting whichever rookie is named or going with Brown?

You'd probably have to drop a mid, which I know are reluctant to do, each to their own though.

Let's cross that bridge when we get to it, shall we? :P

Alllllrighty then.  :P

[GoLions]

So if Gaz misses round 1, basically

Gaz-->Fwd premo (e.g. Gray)
Geary-->Hurn

Still have like 30k left as well

Or I might even keep him :-X

[GoLions]

I'm fairly ok with this if Gaz doesn't line up round 1
