Position 2015 SuperCoach rookies

[SterlingArcher]

From what I've read on Adelaide boards they are likely to go with Talia and Hartigan as their 2 talls and Cheney/Otten as third tall but I could be wrong

Otten did his knee in August 2014, still think he's meant to be out for a few more months as he got a traditional reco. Cheney fights above his weight but Crows may be forced to make a move if they come up against a very tall side. Not saying I know more than Crows supporters because I don't, but I'd be keeping a close eye on Lever.

Brendan Maynard

Is that Brayden's less talented brother?

No, it's actually Rodney's older brother.

Edit - actually, his name is Brenton! (Played SANFL with Norwood.)

Is Jake Lever a good chance at playing round 1?

I wouldn't count on it in any way. He's only played one TAC cup season, so he's coming from a long way back. The club sees him as a long term prospect and will not rush him. Walsh's interview today is telling.

Well that has sorted that.

Late season downgrade (Y)

Damn.
May have to cross fingers for the faint hope that Hamling gets games early for the Dogs at this rate.

I'm not sure that's too faint a hope. They need another tall defender desperately...Hamling is a newly acquired tall defender. Must make him more than a faint hope

We have a CHB spot available.
Roberts & Talia are a little more established, but Roberts has had an interrupted pre-season so has slipped behind.

Talia seems ahead at this stage and Hamling is at the back of the field in the endurance training but he's a much better ball user than Talia.
At this stage Talia's ahead but Hamling will get plenty of chances during the NAB cup to impress.

 

[GOAUS!]

Defensive rookies looking fairly bare currently. Considering looking at Nathan Brown, this is what we're coming to.

Should have been first picked

 

[King_Steele]

Hamling been ok since his come on? 7 touches compared to Talia's 9.

 

[King_Steele]

I reckon you could pencil Jack Lonie in for round 1, played a good game against the Lions with 1 goal & 1 assist & Richo loves him for his pressure.

FWD @ 117k - I reckon he will play more games than Caleb Daniel.

+1

Looked very natural out there, and should play a lot of games. Pushes into the midfield as well

57 SC points from 55% TOG.

Talia was in our best few today, just doesn't play the kind of game that scores well. He and Roughead should be our two key backs at this stage. Hamling might be a downgrade target.

I'd take that

 

[King_Steele]

Anyone liking Jackson Nelson for a round 1 start?

Looked the goods against Carlton, showed more than Boekhurst & Smith IMO.

 

[KardiniaPark]

Darcy Lang looks great.

Still two more games to go mate

I'm not making any decisions on players until the end of pre-season.

Is Andrew Raines out for the year with a knee injury? If so it bodes well for Adam Saad to be elevated by round 1.

http://www.goldcoastfc.com.au/news/2015-01-09/andrew-raines-injury-update

Says here he did a PCL in Jan - afl.com.au injury list says 'TBC', updated on Feb 25, but usually a PCL is 12 weeks out? So maybe close enough to round 6-8 return?

 

[Daniel McL]

Everyone please stay away from Darcy Lang he is my unique rookie pick
Hopefully his haircut has scared you away...

 

[Benson FC]

Any reason why Corey Gault from Collingwood is priced so high for someone who has played one AFL game? $249,000 for a 2013 rookie drafted player? Seems strange to me
