Position 2017 Rookies

[Flandersss]

How is it possible that so many great rookie options keep falling over.
Myers, Rioli, Cameron ffs

At least we get downgrade options!

But seriously rookies are a joke this year.

Hold me!

Neck injury?

He might be elevated, but he's at the bottom of a long lost of half backs.

I'd be concerned if he was required.

Although I hope he smashes WAFL and keeps the senior team honest.

Check out @AFL_PKeane's Tweet:
There was a deadline and only 5 were upgraded with 1 not being Barrett? I quit...

The recent deadline was adjustments for clubs who didn't go into 2017 with 40 senior listed players.

Rookie upgrades due to LTI opening up senior list spots can be made at any time and can happen on the same day that teams drop as the upgraded-rookie gets named for his first game.

Tempted to grab one future rook like David Myers as VC loophole option if there's not going to be enough to pad the mids with others. Says he'll be back rounds 4-6. I can't afford Tarantino, or Bowes, or anyone expensive with my current set up.

Which year????????

Amazing moment in that young man's start to his career.

Having a dad fly from overseas and debut in the highest form of the game must be such an awesome buzz.


On a side note, if any Swans recruiters are out there, I could slot into a forward pocket while the boys get back. I have to be better than that Florent guy.

Rookies are great this year.

Currently in my team:

Ainsworth, SPP, Barrett, Pickett, Miles, Taranto, Florent, Simpkin, Eddy, Butler, Bowes, T. Stewart, Guthrie, Otten, Hampton, Marchbank

 

[TheOz]

Taranto is in bitches!

Thanks mr lockett but florent can play

Great stuff.

Highly doubt it
He had a terrible JLT, while Cox played well and got the rookie elevation

We'll line up with Grundy and Cox in round 1 imo

Keeffe doesn't need a rookie elevation. He's already on the senior list. Havind said that, I agree with you in that I actually can't see him playing too much. Played JLT1 only I think. He's a plonker anyway imo. Maybe gets a run when Ben Reid tears in half again.

 

[GRUFFY]

Ok so now I'm emotionally involved

Haha yeah, he's going to be so nervous <20 point game coming up.

Sorry, I worded it wrong. I meant Cox got a rookie elevation so that tells me he'll be playing in round 1, as opposed to the scrub Keeffe

Agree, he is depth

 

[Seymour Skinner]

I saw a few teams recently with 4 port rookies but just assumed they were place holders, surely if they name 4 round 1 they won't all stick around. Think I might end up giving Houston and Atley a miss if other rookies are named too.

I'd be staying 10 Chol's length away from Cox.

So you'll be in WA for the rest of the season?

 

[Great 2008]

And then proceed to score no more than 40s in his next three and get dropped. Might come back when it's too late and score a 130 just to piss in everyones' face.

Your Menadue b..t hurt is as strong as mine.

SPP and Eddy are locks
Atley I'll pass on
Houston interests me as he is versatile and can play forward and back

 

[Dennis Trumpet]

Surely Houstons position comes into question once pittard returns?

Not sure if Broadbent is playing round 1 but he's not far away either
