Schulz had a good game stats wise, dunno why his SC score was so low. Could be a good Balta replacement

Hore to Wilkie/Joyce another good looking option

Both Balta and Hore will be dropped imo
Only in due to Matera suspension and switkowski injury

Ballantyne did a hamstring though so might be safe for a couple?

Collins on the field, what a waste of time.
Started Butters on the field and Constable & Scott on the bench, not a great move.
Almost traded out Parker, left him on my forward bench. Thankfully.
 
I have Burgess (Def), Gibbons (Mid) and Balta (Fwd) who all underperformed round 1.

Only rookies I missed though are:

Wilkie, Joyce, Sparrow, Wagner, Schultz and LDU. Not sure any of these are must have's yet either, so think I will wait for another week's data to decide on trades.

Gee, you only missed 6 rookies. Well done.


Just kidding. I think LDU is great, but he's not going to be SC relevant this year.

Dimma flagged Balta to play Rance’s role

Sparrow impressed
 
Wil Powell anyone?
I won't get him but 23 possessions, 7 marks,1 goal
Looks massively improved
Winger who is amongst the best runners on the team
Butchered a few times and SC:DT ratio was poor still scored 83 (102 DT)
211k forward

Could consider Collins > Powell via Burgess or Moore if set up allows.

Didnt seem to score that well in the JLT, do you know why?

Hm not sure
I watched the JLT and remember he did a few nice things but can't recall specifically.
Will play 85+ TOG
JLT averaged ~75% TOG so gets a boost there.
 
Not that we should be making a ton of correctionals right now, but what does everyone's ideal rookie structure look like after R1?

Am thinking:
Clark Duursma / Wilkie Hore
Walsh Constable Scott / Butters Atkins Sparrow/Wagner
- / Bines
Setterfield Drew / Parker Schultz

Think most would agree no more than 2, 3, 2 on field in fwd, mid, def. With less on any one line depending on your midpricers.

It's hard to fill out the bench spots as we have a couple of cheap rookies who scored well. Hence some sub-par picks on there.

Seems about right. Am concerned about there being 3x Port and 3x Geelong rookies amongst them with imminent returns of Wines, Hartlett, Tuohy, Bews etc.
Think Balta has a chance to still turn out OK. Collins and Burgess less so. Might retain Collins this week if not playing as a loop (have 3 DEF rookies onfield) and get another week's info on Wilikie / Joyce.
Sounds like Wilkie might have better chances of getting a prolonged stint with Brown more a threat to Joyce(?)

Is Brown back this week or next week?

Scratching my head over the stk defenders too, people saying Wilkie was in Roberton's role and Joyce in Brown's, but Joyce got quite a few more touches and without checking I am pretty confident to say that Brown usually would score about half what Joyce did =p
 
Not fussed about my rookies at the moment.

Scrimshaw, Clark/ Joyce, Hore
Scott, Valente/ Walsh, Butters, Constable
Setterfield, Drew/ Balta, Petruccelle

Happy to wait and see. Didn't get Duursma because Hartlett to come back in. Wait and see on Parker. Think his score was at the top of his range, against meh opposition. Balta/Petrucelle are high risk/slow burn but not required at moment Have the 4 must have mids and can loophole them via Valente.
