Could also go Kent (via Danger) and T.Atkins to Sheed and Rockliff if they keep the pigging up

Oscar AllenCollins, Scrimshaw, Clark, Duursma, Hore - Maybe Collins to Burgess NFI

Only in due to Matera suspension and switkowski injurySchulz 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

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.

Decent chance he plays Rance's role next week but long term Garthwaite is ahead of himDimma flagged Balta to play Rance’s role
Dimma flagged Balta to play Rance’s role
T ratio was poor still scored 83 (102 DT)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 SCT 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?
Not Rance's role but he might have to play down back without Houli and Rance. Depends on how many talls we want, I'd lean towards he plays forward again and goes back if needed**** all chance he plays Rance's role.
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.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.

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 =pSeems about right.
