2019 Rookies

Is LDU a must have?

Not a must have but looking good. If you can afford him and the rookie correction looks essential (eg. I have Valente), do it

I think i read somewhere that Ahern and Anderson might be back this week, i wonder if that will effect LDU?

Good JM angel that is sitting on my right shoulder says to me "JM trade Hore and Balta out for Rooze and Miers!"

Bad JM devil sitting on my left shoulder biatch slaps good JM angel off my right shoulder and says "JM don't listen to that fool, trade Heeney and Dunkley to Whitfield and T.Kelly, you will score more points!"

I hate having this dilemma.

I know the smart thing to do is probably get the rookies in but it's a boring 2 trades. LOL!

Is LDU a must have?

For me, no

Talk on the Melbourne board of Wagner making a return. If he, Balta and Hore all get selected I'll have no non-playing rookies (except loophole Bines)

what if hore and balta play?

 

[Judd_Magic]

what if hore and balta play?

If they play then I will be mighty tempted to listen to bad JM devil. LOL!

Rooze and Miers I reckon have better job security than Hore and Balta though so might still be worth grabbing them plus they will both go up quite a bit in cash this week.

It's a tough one for sure.

Is LDU a must have?

depends on your team. I really dont have anyone to trade to him or the cash to do it with a single trade.
I think if you are carrying a donut rookie somewhere and have the cash to do with 1 trade why not. Otherwise nah.

At least there's 5 games before Bines plays. Rookie loophole might be reduced (or nil) but that's pretty decent for the C/VC

 

[SC fish]

what if hore and balta play?

It will be a difficult decision as to whether to ditch them for two better bubble boys. Save trades or make money?

Of course they could always be traded out this week and then traded back in if/when they are on the bubble...

Yep that's true, but I'm thinking more of having someone to trade out for Constable and/or Scott

Hadnt considered Miers coz I dont have parker lol. Geelong still have a few outs dont they? Someone could takes Miers or I guess Atkins spot. I guess unlikely though.

I'm kind of wondering myself whose spot Miers is taking?

Any of the Geelong kenties want to chip in here with the answer?

Lachie Fogarty will take either Atkins or Miers spot when he comes back from injury in a few weeks IMO

Yep.

Cam Guthrie listed as "test" will either come back through the magoo's or straight in

 

[Suns of Anarchy]

Bailey Scott had gastro coming in to the game against Brisbane. Explains his low TOG %

It must've been contagious. He was giving me the shits all day watching him.

I like that Devil JM and Angel JM are both telling you to trade your ass off.

I like that Devill JM and Angel GM are both telling you to trade your ass off.

It's the only thing they know how to do as they were pupils of mine at the JM trading school. LOL!

 

[Mongoose528]

Thoughts on Rozee? Worth bringing him in for Greene?
