2019 Rookies

[Spider Eater]

I'm still recovering from carrying Dom Campaigner Barry all year last year.
Very wary of Port rookies now.

I didn't take him last year, but good point. I have 3 Port rooks now, scary

I'm down to 2 Port rookies - Duursma and Drew. I like Butters as a player, but my gut feel is that he won't score any better than the bottom-pricers. Same for Rozee but with less JS, IMO.

Drew will be out of the team well before Butters is.

FWIW i am not starting Drew. He will be the one to get dropped when Wines comes back into the team.

Really? Bloody hell you're probably right. Fwd rookies are even worse than usual. Setterfield, Parker and??? Maybe Balta Putrid Smelly could get dropped when Cripps is fit.

When is Wines expected back?
If he does well surely he will stay in. Injuries always happen as well.

Drew will be safe. I've got Thursday off and I'm gonna take Ollie water skiing. All sorted.

Why smith gotta be so awkward priced

Why smith gotta be so awkward priced

Because ChampionData are a bunch of campaigners who arbitrarily decided he should be more expensive than most of his peers.

It shits me when they introduce arbitrary stuff like higher starting prices for the top 10 draft picks, when everything else about the game is based on statistics and formulas.

 

[toxic]

Moore is a must have imo.

Burgess would be ok for the bench.

Moore, as in Darcy Moore?

Bro, you gotta pass the bong on

 

[Hava Alle]

Moore, as in Darcy Moore?

Agree. Moore is overrated. Highest SC ave of 61, injury prone and looks like Keira Knightley. No thanks.

I loved his junior year but I don't see how he will get into the midfield rotation at the dogs.

Surprised he was named tbh.

Priced at 44. Acceptable risk to me.

 

[Bont2Bruce]

So you've thought about the risk, but what about the reward?

If Moore plays every game and averages 60, he will gain $55k by the time of his R13 bye.

If another random $123k rookie plays every game and averages 60, they will gain $160k by R13.

Drew will be out of the team well before Butters is.

Thats what they said about Houston and Pittard. So I picked Steady Eddy instead. Not again.

Leave Keira alone.

So Moore will be priced higher. Either way Moore has far greater scoring potential that several of the fwd rookies and daylight ahead in terms of job security.
He may score less than expected but a 60 average of 12 games if far better than 60 over 3 than ur looking for a replacement that may not come unless you have left money in the bank to upgrade or burn 2 trades to bring another down so u can upgrade the donut.

whats the deal with Burgess? will he make the 22 on merit or is he a place holder till they get a few back from injury?

he'll probably be a potato but i might take him anyway if he's going to get a good crack at it.

As kreglze said.
In ahead of Sam Day
Corbett was ahead before any of the matches but got injured at an inopportune time.
Burgess was apparently good in the Brisbane prac match, was quite good in JLT-1, didn't think he was as good in JLT-2

More mark-kick than groundball so would suggest he is a low possession player, contested marker, goal kicking looks a bit shaky.
Think he is a 50-60 type player.

Chance he plays in defence at some point where I think he could score better.
I'd pick him as someone who should at least get 3-4 games against poor opposition early on for the suns. has DPP.
May get games in defence throughout the year.

I'm taking him.

You conveniently forgot to mention Moore's terrible durability. While I agree that his job security is good, he only managed 7 games last year and never managed more than 2 consecutive games.

If you want to spend $240k on a player who may well continue to averarge 60 and has a recent history of soft-tissue injuries - go right ahead. I'll be choosing better value from elsewhere.

 

[SHAKESPEARE]

So a fair few rooks are named.

Looking good so far. No real new surprises

 

[Nelso]

When is Wines expected back?

Wines will play round 2 against Carlton.

He was close to playing this week.

 

[4tune8]

One of the reasons I was looking at Moore is for the DPP status, but I think I'll go with Rozee instead

shhhhhh. Let them pick him.

No Half Measures. The greatest monologue of all time
