I'm sure Tracey will be glad to hear that.

Solid.
As mentioned Scrimshaw may not play but with your remaining cash I'm sure you have a plan B.
I also am not a fan of picking a non R1 playing rookie, I'd rather wait until Valente is on the bubble in round 5 or 6 and nab him then after seeing how he goes.
I think Macrae is a good move, I've got him as well and doesn't seem to be heading backwards this year. Also good to have another captain choice each week and suits my bye structure as well.
I find Ridley too awkward at his price (a bit like Moore) for scoring potential, but should definitely get some games.

Love the mid priced madness here. Rocky has been in and out of my team, don't have the stones to go him over Libba but if he continues on JLT he could explode. Hard to have more than one of Libba, Sheed and Rocky in the mids.
Worpel a real POD but have heard big wraps of him picking up Titch's midfield minutes - could be an astute pick.
I've also kept Cousins in the same hope regarding Titch's minutes.
Personally I think you're one premium midfield short, could you potentially move a midpricer to a rookie to get that in? Otherwise you may fall behind the pack early?

Here's my latest release, after so much tweaking.
Have managed to only have 6 rookies playing on the field (not counting Cousins as a rookie), which I'm happy about, however it comes at the cost of some mid priced risk in Williams, Smith, Libba, and Greene. Risk v Reward in my mind for all of those.
Still toying with Cousins > Constable, Darling > Dunkley and Neale > Fyfe. Not sure how I'm going to make the decision one way or the other
Have a bit of cash for corrective rookie trades (if Gibbons doesn't play he will become Constable)
Bye round split looks manageable.

thoughts on Kade Simpson and nic newman guys? I feel like simo till has the high scoring potential and will still average around 90-100 however I feel nic might steal most of his scoring. could nic play dochertys role and average 90-100? what does everyone think?

what's your theory behind the darling pick? I personally cant see him being a top 6 forward but he could be a strong POD pick.
I think neale could be a safer starting option than fyfe just because of his elbow issues. should fyfes elbow issues hold up he will go big tho i imagine. look to upgrade to fyfe potentially?

I read somewhere a stat that if you take out the injury affected scores of last year Darling would've been a top 6 forward. At $471k, and the frustration with trying to pick F3 and F4 this year, he has edged in front of the pack, but not by much.
I normally avoid KPPs like the plague in SC, however he can really go big and roams up the ground a bit.
Am toying with Dunkley too, however him sharing midfield time with all the Dog's midfielders, half forwards and half backs who run through the mids (same with Geelong and TKelly and Menegola) has me concerned.

The age factor has turned me off Simmo this year.
Surely he has to drop off one year! I'm picking it may be this year (but could definitely be wrong)

@Jason how do you think Lobb's scoring will go when Mummy gets in the side?

ok I finally flinched and got rid of Rocky, Hanley & the Hoff which certainly makes the team more visually appealing... have $240k in the bank but not real sure where to put it... Libba or Brouch I guess.

Shut the front gate!!!

yep my bad... i'm gonna follow your lead anyway... should at least hold his average whereas Hoff and Lycett no guarantees...

Fair bit of money left..not tempted the Gawn/Grundy combo??

nah Macrae is my top dollar spend, I'll try to get Grundy cheaper later (perhaps in the R14 bye..)
