Bring in the Cows - But which teams will they come from?

[Sir Skid]

So where will they come from?
Brisbane, Carlton, GC, Pies, Saints, Dees.

Added the Poll - Max 3 votes each!

GWS are not the cow nursery they used to be and are strong now. Hard to see newbies getting much game time.
Carlton does have a glut of GWS discards who could play a bit but are they any good.
Brisbane should see some fresh blood come through.
Saints and Dees on the rise but expecting them to be more stable with less newbies gifted games.
Pies and Port both likely to see some newbies too.

Thoughts?

Should be 12 solid rookies this year I think, solid draft year. Gold Coast, Collingwood, Brisbane, Carlton, Port will be the pick of the bunch.

 

[Sir Skid]

Yeah but 14 premo's and 12 rookies makes 26. 4 more rooks needed for my GnR strategy.
Add 4 mid pricers and it pushes it back to 12 premo's which is a no for me.

Might be ok for toxic 's scrub mid pricers though.

 

[Here2tellyouwhy]

Arrhhh rookies.
Every year we s**t our pants around this time and every year come the Thursday before round 1 we have plenty of playing rookies.

Too hard to pick where they come from untill we see some NAB IMO.

 

[Seymour Skinner]

Gold Coast are gonna have a stack of them, but they'll all come with that pesky 1st rounder tax.
Brissy have a good selection of picks.
Hopefully Port or North can bob up with a few SC relevant ones in the second round too.

Will Alex Johnson be back by the start of next year? The bloke can play pill and deserves a fair crack at it.
Scharenberg? Or basically anyone else that's coming back from a knee or any other LTI.

+ whoever drafts Micky Gibbons, 102k well spent.

But like as Here2tellyouwhy said there will be enough come round one and we'll all start with the same ones haha

Look forward too when rate my team threads start and every third post is someone commenting on another person's team and all they say is "rookie x won't get a game", they are god damn placeholders!

Brown and Daicos

 

[Scullywag]

Brown and Daicos

Plus the likely pick 28 which I think will be a jack maibaum or Jordan ridley

 

[Here2tellyouwhy]

The part of Collingwood that interests me most is who is gonna eat up all those juicy points in their backline since everyone left.
Ball will be down there plenty.

Pendlebury to CHB again Bucks?

 

[toxic]

Brown and Daicos

No and No

Not senior ready

Beams will be a nice mid pricer

 

[toxic]

Agreed.

Just gotta get the traitor on the field

Howe could be an option again Keg on legs

 

[Sir Skid]

Had him last year and he was good for me. Thanks for the tip toxic

Him and Greene were stars for me in the finals.
Will Howe be a Def/Fwd option again you think?

FWIW I think he'll be Def only since Pies have lost a couple and have limited def stocks this year.

Don't make me vomit man

 

[Hairy Lager]

Don't make me vomit man

Lol!!

 

[borrat]

hopefully get a few good dpp's that slide

whoever port get with pick 14 and 17 should get a good go and wont be to overpriced either

Don't look to the Pies for rookies
We've had so many injuries over the last few years everybody on the list has played games

there's Lachie Keeffe (somebody please kill me if he lines up in round 1), and the possibility of us picking up Mitch Brown or Litherland as DFA, but other than that, it's pretty dry

Daicos and Brown might get a game in round 20

Only rookie priced Pie I'm eyeing off this early is Scharenberg. Won't be basement but should be cheap enough, do you see him getting a go early if he's fit?

If fit he's a certainty
