Position 2017 Rookies

[atlas1]

Which is best out of those two. Bowes wasn't convincing but Ainsworth was, I think AInsworth, what do you peeps think?

I think Ainsworth is the better player

 

[Seymour Skinner]

If Simpkin gets named I'll probably take him instead of Turner, 9k cheaper has a few more dimensions to his game than Turner.
And hopefully Macreadie gets a gig too, would take away some of the stress about Sunday.

Looking for opinions here, wanting a rookie or player under 250k either foward or mid (already got WHE, Taranto, eddy, florant, Barrett, parfitt, spp, Pickett) wanting someone who will score decent would be a good on ground pick for the start of the season

nobody knows

Houston will play round 1, scored pretty well in the JLT

 

[SniffySnort]

SPS in contention to play for blues, fully healed from quad injury.

Yeah but I don't trust him on ground, would trust McCarthy more but don't know if I like him or not, starting to think about will Brodie but I'll see if he gets named round 1

Has she ever written a single article about a football match? One article describing or analysing a game? If not, she's not a football writer, merely a gossip columnist promoted to "chief" football writer by the politically correct *******s at fairfax. Slobbo isn't much better but at least he has written somewhat on actual football and not solely on peripheral horseshit. I put her on the same level as a Craig Hutchinson, bottom feeding muckrakers.

Don't think she has been to the footy since that time some assclown tried to throw a spear at her.

Spot on.

She never has and never will. Ony interested in scandals.

Say what u want about Robbo. At least he ****ing loves the game.

The witch couldnt even have a top 50 because she cant name 50 players.

Don't think McGrath justifies his price tag.

Unless he seems completely out of his depth, I think Simpkin will get an extended run of atleast 5-6 games in a row.

Biggest worry would be scoring potential. I think Turner is the safer pick. Worst case scenario you suss them out after 2 rounds and sideways trade if one is clearly outperforming the other

 

[Papa Caz]

What's everyone's thoughts on Ainsworth, Bowes, Brodie and even sps?

I mean I love the women's football and how they go about it, but I hate how the media chains and the coverage is being rammed down my throat. Same goes for the women commentators on men's football, I have to mute the TV. It's like nails scraping on a chalkboard...

Not sure we can be that picky this year with the lack of options, depending on your set up ofcourse.

Love them all as great future players .....it's just their price / point ratio that has me worried ....i probably favor the GC players Brodie / Bowes in terms of JS and potential roles / SC scoring

 

[TheWoodenSlug]

Don't think McGrath justifies his price tag.

What's his JS like? I've got him in my side at the moment despite the shitty scores he produced over the JLT, based on the lack of options and an assumption that he will play plenty of games. Also there will always be a few rookies that get missed, or debut in round 2 or 3 etc so at least if he spuds it up, his high price means I should be able to afford any DEF rookies that don't make my starting line up.

All goes back to my initial question though, because it is largely based on him having good JS.

 

[Seymour Skinner]

I've already got Taranto, Turner and Florent on field with Eddy and Butler on the bench. Don't think the Turner or Simpkin choice will be an issue for my set up.

You have some balls. I'll give you that

I haven't got any rookies outside of the backline starting.

So midpricers or premos in all lines other than your backs?

Yeah I'm liking the look of Brodie to be honest

 

[poido]

Yes.


You should never rule out any type of structure based on the past.


It is a good guide, but never the rule. I have picked some calculated risks, but I'm confident I'll score well and my projected score is pretty good.

 

[stevebbb]

currently rolling with

Marchbank, Hampton (Otten, Stewart)
Florent, SPP (Barrett, Miles, Parfitt)
(Cameron)
Turner, Pickett (Houston, Eddy)

Its been mentioned bats. THankyou anyway.
Macreadie I'm dubious about, Seton even moreso.
What do the Blues amongst us think?
