Re: 2012 Which rookie do i start on the field thread

Ended up going
Bugg 92 mohr 52 (Morris 49, Ellis 64)
Magner 61, shiel 79 (csmith 30)
Giles 81 (redden 69)
Kennedy 74, milleara 37 (dsmith 79, hall 72)

Lets see how many points I can cost myself this week :(

End result: lost 54 points :thumbsdown:

Re: 2012 Which rookie do i start on the field thread

Kinda wish someone convinced me not to play Milera.
 
Re: 2012 Which rookie do i start on the field thread

i done the same thing. i brought him in and left him on the bench. :cool:

Lucky us, hey? :eek:

Managed to nail every rookie pick this week, in a bit of a miracle. I'm ignoring that Hall scored more than Chapman and Fyfe, there's no point stressing about benching premiums.

likewise! i won't complain if i keep getting a majority of the rookie selections right. :p although with a few of them in and out of teams or not playing at all, it might not be so difficult. :D
 
Re: 2012 Which rookie do i start on the field thread

Yeah, having no option down back (Smedts and Boumann out) or in the middle (MacDonald and, it turned out, Ledger out) or in the rucks (must start two premiums) kinda limited my options to get it wrong.

Re: 2012 Which rookie do i start on the field thread

Hey all,

My midfield is:
Ablett, Pendles, Boyd, Selwood, Magner, JMac, Shiel, Ledger

I'm defintely benching Ledger, whether he's picked this week or not, but unsure who to start out of Magner, Jmac and Shiel (obviously need to bench one of them)... Thoughts?

I'm playing Magner on field. He's playing the doggies who haven't been great but he's in a team that's even worse (Not many there to snatch points off him). Has looked close to their best midfielder so I'm backing him to do better than last week.

Re: 2012 Which rookie do i start on the field thread

Yeah, was pretty confident on going with Magner... I guess I was more deliberating over JMac v Shiel...
 
Re: 2012 Which rookie do i start on the field thread

D.Smith, A.Hall, T.Milera.

Leaning towards Milera on field and Hall with the emergency vest. Thoughts?

Re: 2012 Which rookie do i start on the field thread

Milera had a shocker last week and Smith seemed to come good... I'd nearly go Smith over the two of them and toss a coin for the emerg...

Sorry mate, no idea why but I read that as you having five premiums. If I had McDonald I would probably play him over Shiel but I can't imagine their being too much difference in their scores. Shiel has been steadily improving and could be the week he hits 80-100. McDonald is there to protect and guide these kids so should be hitting around that margin for the first half of his season considering the hardball and tackles he's there to get.
 
Re: 2012 Which rookie do i start on the field thread

Can anyone shed any light on why Ledger has missed again?
Keep hearing he is good to go but not getting a run?
CHeers
Glad Dickson was at least looked at this week:eek:

hearing it's an attitude/not training hard enough thing...

he'll get games soon enough

Re: 2012 Which rookie do i start on the field thread

This week I'm going with...

Bugg, Mohr (Ellis [e])
Magner, McDonald (Shiel [e], Ledger)
Giles (Redden, Big O)
Kennedy, D Smith (Hall [e], Dickson)

Mohr vs Ellis the hardest decision but they'll both get a run anyway if Dempsey doesn't pull up. Ellis being named on the extended bench and possiblity of being subbed is what put me off.

6 GWS starters makes me a little concerned though...

Re: 2012 Which rookie do i start on the field thread

Parker was awesome this week but can he back it up against North?
Manger might get a free reign against the Dogs middy.

TOUGH!

Re: 2012 Which rookie do i start on the field thread

Parker or Magner...what do you reckon on who to start?

Parker for mine.

My decisions are Mohr vs Ellis vs Morris (Currently have Morris and MohrE)

Sheil vs JMac( Currently Sheil and JMacE)

And the toughest for me Hall vs the Lions or Millera (Hall on and Millera E atm but feel that one will keep swapping)

Any opinions?

I'd go with:

Mohr, Morris (E)

JMac, Shiel (E)

Hall, Milera (E) - but you're right, that is the toughest; just depeds on who turns up on the day out of those two...
