Position 2017 Rookies

[Here2tellyouwhy]

Which then bring us to round two and beyond. Little chance of playing when the others come back.
What about Greenwood? Is he ahead of Wigg?

Anout on par but from what I've seen Wigg is closer to AFL ready.
There's also a vacant spot of lyons to fill.
CEY was pretty much guaranteed it before he did his knee.

 

[croweyrocks]

Another big bodied mid?

Might have to chuck him on the bench for Wigg/Miles

Yeah its still wait and see the teams but hes right there as a chance to play. I personally think Wigg will play round 1 and will then get dropped for Sloane.

Good to know I'm not alone in tipping Saints and Melbourne to miss the finals.

Was hoping Knight would get a game before Wigg. All three mentioned could play now with crows injury concerns.

Thoughts on Atley?

Didn't get to see the match

Been in my team prior to JLT. Still there.

Thoughts on Atley?

Didn't get to see the match

Did some good things, yet to be convinced he makes best 22, but if he does he looks a likely type

 

[Double the Fist]

I did my round 1 team this morning and hes in. He's touch and go. I really like what I see.

Ports Atley I'm hoping?

Is Hoskin Elliot, kinda rookie priced, a walk up start this year toxic ? Or anyone else for that matter?

Houston, NO PROBLEMS!

 

[FAILTOSUCCEED]

I thought he was better than a lot of their senior types like Impey etc. I think he's in R1.

I thought he was better than SPP as well, they will form a great midfield combo in the future.

Seems likely to play Round 1 to me, but don't know how secure his spot will be.
Combine that with his limited scoring and injury history, I'm not taking him.

Really informative post, like it a lot.

Missed Taranto... Think a really good JLT3 game for him and he could be in discussion for round 1

think back to Hopper last season, cant see Taranto getting more than 3 games in a row tbh.

at 207k, giving him a miss

Will play Rd1

Job security ok..not great but ok

Hopper did play 6 games in a row before a back injury sidelined him though.

Think it's a good comparison but I liked the way Taranto racked up possessions on the wing, if he can replicate that again i'm jumping on him. Think the lack of genuine midfielders makes its a worthwhile risk

Taranto's 16% ownership surprises me. going well I just don't how he can break in that team. good to see him show us what he's capable of. just find people selecting him is odd at that price

I am thinking of Taranto as a forward Rookie option ?

Yes mate. I'm quite impressed.

just wish he had DPP or that Houston was actually D/M, WHICH HE IS NORMALLY!!!

Will Atley score enough though?

Love Greenwood, and he had a good first up game .....but his fitness is still not AFL ready ....maybe 2nd half of the season ?

Keep an eye out for Beech .....did a small calf, but maybe upgraded

all depends I guess, we will see Ebert a lot more half forward due to his excellent overhead mark, Gray and Wingard will play fwd a bit more, Wines and Boak are mainstays and SPP is a stud. If he gets the opportunity, he is totally different to his brother, hard at it and contested beast. Think he will go 65+ if he plays and maintains his spot

Will he get a game 1?
