2012 Rookies

[dlanod]

F**k. All of a sudden backline rookies are looking pretty thin on the ground. Might have to downgrade a fwd and get Malceski in after all.

Picking the GWS rookies ahead of next weeks games is doing my head in, what if you don't name one then one of your rookie locks from another team doesn't get named next week, completely screws up your side.

For example right now I have Bugg, Mohr, Ellis and Morris. Do I start Bugg and Mohr or just hope one of either Ellis or Morris gets named next week? If neither gets named I get a donut.

Ha, good post. I hadn't thought about that. I think you'd have to put your GWS rookies on the field if you're leaning towards keeping the same team regardless of whether they're named next week. If you plan on only picking rookies that appear in the Week 1 team lists, it's less concerning. You can just pick those you think will do well.

I want every player to be playing round 1 but that being said a guy like Ellis has far better scoring potential than Mohr so it's tricky...I just re-jigged my backline, downgraded Broughton to Malceski and brought in Golby for Mohr. I reckon going mid-priced might be the best way to go with the lack of good rookie options.

So who is gonna take the risk on Shiel? Hasn't played yet this preseason, so can't go on form, but he's been named as a follower. He must be impressing in training.

 

[Happy Daze]

Jacob Townsend is on the bench for GWS and is a designated backman for Supercoach. Well, at least he's playing and more than likely to get quite a bit of game time.

 

[Hawthorn United]

Hmm, Ledger or Shiel? Tossing between the two now after the lineups.

Any St Kilda fans can shed some light into Ledger's likelihood to be playing early in the season?

Shiel was nearly a must have before he was named, got to have him now. I got both though.

Thanks. Ledger out. Hopefully he gets blooded after a few rounds so I can trade down to him.

As far as Ledger is concerned, he played well in pre-season and he is NOT playing for Sandringham on Sunday.
This suggests that he is likely to be playing for the Saints the following week.

 

[prenticem]

What about Saad?.

 

[SaintsSeptember]

What about Saad?.

Saad is named for Sandringham.

I guess its all up to interpretation, the Saints playing for Sandy are allowed to be selected the following week, so I read more into the ones that arent playing than the ones who are.

I'm not convinced about Saad though.

 

[TPMAxon]

Will Magner be ready for round 1?? was a fair break of the finger?

thoughts??

I think he’ll almost certainly play, the concern is whether or not he will be a sub.

I've dumped Ledger. I really like him, but Shiel will get a season.

If ledger does a libba or curnow, ill see what i can do

Dump Spurr. Got Ellis? Boumann might even get an early month/6 weeks.

Clarke/Bower bit pricier.

 

[carltonfan43]

Is there any $94,700 listed rookies that are going to get a game anytime soon? Need one for a reserve in the backline but only have $500 left over so can't afford anyone higher.

I was also thinking that i have porplyzia as my 6th forward so i could trade him for another rookie and then start devon smith and then spend the left over money for decent rookies on the bench which would make me a lot more money over the year. Thoughts??

 

[controlKLICK]

Anyone thinking of keeping Darley despite not being named?

 

[StoneX]

I'm keeping him on the bench with Morris

I have Clarke.

I Had Ellis but got rid of him so I could upgrade players.
Boumann who does he play for?

 

[Double the Fist]

No love for S Gibson?
Surely he will play round one?

 

[DrummoSolo]

Yet to be upgraded, SC scores in the NAB didn't exactly set the world on fire. Wait and see.

Nah mate he never got elevated off the rookie list, hence no love.

 

[04 Durif]

Opinions on Docherty from Lions have heard he had some SC potential, struggling to find much info on him

Injured. Potential downgrade later in the season.
