[SureBuddy]

Nothing that really jumps out at me as potential rookies to play round 1. Maybe Freeman, but I doubt it.

My main focus will be on Fasolo, Grundy, Tony Armstrong. I highly doubt Pendles/SJ/Bartel/Beams etc. will go very hard.

Rookies highlighted, no Gartlett!

And no Lewis Taylor!

 

[TheOz]

Hmm, no Claye Beams.

 

[pincrusher]

I'm sure I saw a comment or two somewhere suggesting that Lewis Taylor is injured. Can't find anything specific though. Can someone confirm, and if so, what is the injury? Not named for Thursday night.

Brisbane obviously taking the game seriously = NOT = jesus what odds can i get with the hawks.....

 

[vindi18]

no Garlett is the big surprise

I'll be watching J Aish closely

 

[Judd_Magic]

Hmm, no Claye Beams.

Pretty sure I read somewhere that Claye Beams will be playing Brissys next NAB Challenge game.

He's locked in as my M8 at the moment and will play 22 games barr injury.

Is in the Lions best 22 too.

Almost a given that both Beams' will miss games due to injury

 

[Judd_Magic]

Almost a given that both Beams' will miss games due to injury

C.Beams will hopefully be upgraded to a premium by then.

FWIW,

The award for least surprising comment of the week goes to....

This guy.

I'm still not convinced the Garlett move will pay off for the Hawks, but they can afford to take the risk.

Richmond v Melbourne

Errrr. Blease is not a rookie. He debuted in 2011 and has played 30 odd games. That being said, he is rookie priced.

Keep an eye on Max King. Melb have limited talls available at the moment, 102,400k Ruckman.

Yeah, I know, was more about price, much like Banfield,

Not a single KP forward on that list.

Dont want King to play, he is my designated captain loophole bunny

Pendles named as sub, a sign of things to come.......captaincy already weighing the superstar down
