Is it too much to have the 4 Demon rookies (Newton, VDB, Salem, Hogan), even if you are only playing 2 of them on field?

Not really looking at him as a belonger J. Just expect he will show enough improvement to get me close to whoever emerges as a keeper. In the meantime he is a reasonable backstop FWD to help me through injuries/byes.

Alright so have settled on a new revision for my side, will probably stay as is until next week when I make the final changes.

Watson a huge POD and will obviously be ASADA dependent, and Goodes will be a ? until elevated and named for round 1, or not. Bonts not great for my bye structure and will be dependent on other changes.

Newnes, Lumumba, Suckling, Higgins, Goodes, Saad (McIntosh, Hamling)
Pendlebury, Fyfe, Selwood, Watson, Dangerfield, Cripps, Heeney, Vandenberg, (Ellis-Yolmen, Miller, Lambert)
Goldstein, Maric (Cox)
Deledio, Martin, Bennell, Bontempelli, Clark, Hogan (Lonie, Daniel)

So about your R/F link. I think you have it the wrong way around. O'Brien should be your R3 and Lycett should be on your FWD line. You should have someone else at R2 who is actually going to play (i.e. not Nankervis).

The way you have it, but Nanverkis and O'Brien are essentially donuts most weeks, which is one more than everyone else. You're missing out on some cash generation potential here I think.

Will you have moved on all four by R13? Could do some bad things to your R13 bye structure otherwise.

Looking good mate. A lot to like.

I wasn't impressed with Smith over the preseason. Was he playing on a wing last year much? Didn't seem to be in the action as often.

Martin teases a lot. He does flashy stuff but it doesn't always turn into massive SC scoring. When SC first opened up, Deledio as a FWD was one of my first selections. Then I heard about his preseason injury and went off him for a bit. But he looked fine to me during NAB action, so back he comes into my side.

I'm expecting Lycett to play 20+ games and average 80ppg. After upgrades he'll make a good R3/F7. He'll make for a good stepping-stone, if you want. Just don't expect much more of him...

Can I go with one for the thumbs? (sorry for 'hijacking' this Jase)

I was gonna ask you about your change back to Lids, so Im glad I read through all the comments first.
Lids is so consistent, and even if he plays fwd, he actually scored better last year after he moved fwd.
Would be great to have both of them i reckon, cause Dusty should improve this year. I know people say that every year, but its gotta happen sometime

All good BB. Bit of a cloud on Goodes - think he is 32 and still needs to be elevated, but choices are thin in DEF.

If the fruit tingles put E-Y in their 22, Danger will spend more time forward.

I've been saying al along that Kra will not be playing round 1!!!
Port played the bulk of their best team in NAB 3 (5 or 6 excluded) and Krak couldn't make the cut - he just isn't quite there yet and will have to work his way in during the season.
Yet so many people still persist with picking him - believe me, he is not in consideration and has even fallen behind Colquhoun who is right in the mix for round 1 selection!!!
