Definitely a few PODs in your premiums there Jason. Especially haven't seen much of Robinson, Bonts or Rance. I love Rance, however for me there are better options than Bonts and Robinson at their prices

Here's my team, out of all players over $200k I'm least certain on Aish, Smith and Wingard atm. Rip it to shreds if you want

Thanks for the feedback. I probably should have mentioned that I haven't changed the rookies for a while so some may be a bit outdated. Aish is actually highly unlikely to still be there rd1 but I just haven't worked out what to do there instead. For Crouch/Bird I have looked at it a lot and so far do believe I want that pair over a keeper/rookie pair. Although the thing with that is that I am backing Crouch in to do well enough to at least in some way justify having him and then may go further to being even more than that. Therefore I may end up swapping Bird/Aish for a keeper/rookie rather than taking out Crouch.

The formula seems to be set and forget rucks, 4 prem/highmid priced players topped up with rookies for def,mid fwd lines. Bye rounds come into contention . I'm liking both of these sides RPritch and Jason .NAB influences choices week by week.

No Tippet to match with Gawn Walesy?

My current team.
houli,doc,birch,smith,tucker,m.brown(ess)broad
danger,pendles,ablett,rock,libba,mills,Gresham,Mathieson,McPherson
goldy,gawn,grimley
martin,wing,barlow,greene,milera,McCarthy,hunt,cox

Missing Collins D6 Petracca M9. Looking to bring in B Kennedy for Petracca maybe, needs some jiggling perhaps Goldy to Martin frees up some cash. Thanks Jason.

@Jason I like your PODs, some different ones in there, though im not entirely sold on the midfield (just looks weird without a pendles, danger). Love the robinson pick, could put you ahead of the pack if it comes off.
Seeing a lot of love for tippet, normally in a team with Gawn. Im running Gawn atm but no tippet so im interested in what people would recommend when I put my team up.
I normally like to go into the year with a bit more money in the bank for corrections, not sure normally if your one to use every dollar or its just come out that way this year?

Id drop Bird to a Wells or a rookie priced player. Id also swap Kommer for Grimley.
Get rid of Aish and put brown on field, find another low priced player to put on your bench.

I think your being held back a little bit with some really premium rookies which is putting some more mid priced players into your team. 3 in the midfield you wont score the points the people who have loaded their mids will and you wont generate the cash that those who have loaded up on the right rookies will.
All IMO of course.

I like the new iteration Jason. Structure is solid. Bonts could be seen as a biased pick, however I think we all hope he'll go bang because wow it would look nice. Not for me though.
Not convinced on the Tippet pick still, even with the coverage you're getting through the DPP ruck. Has to show a lot more to get a spot in my team. Mitch Robbo worries me too, still too subject to a brain fade and a few weeks on the sidelines after trying to lead his young brigade with some smash and bash.

Here's my current team. Gawn over Lobbe is looking too obvious to ignore, and so had to free up cash by downgrading Shaw to Rance and Buddy to De Goey. The latter looked good and will hopefully run through the midfield with Swan resting up forward more. Is very midprice and I don't like the price in the $300k area, however he's in there for now.
Happy to be able to squeeze Danger, Fye and Gaz in there. Rookies all up the air bar a few which have seemed to have locked themlseves.
