Position 2017 Rookies

[Spacedog]

Scored as well as Florent didn't he?

Half forward IMO

Hmm, I know nothing about him or norf. He should have decent JS seeing as north are sort of rebuilding

 

[Kadog]

SPP & SPS baked beans and spaghetti LOCKED. Expensive punt but taking the risk. There are NO fn cheap mid rookies coming out yet.

JOB Security for both. Sams to good for vfl level.

 

[Hairy Lager]

Nah this guy is a different beast. KPP but plays like a Kouta like mid. Roams and gets amongst it.

Will average 20 touches, 8 marks and 5 tackles. Book him in

 

[Jiska]

Darcy Cameron apparently not in after all(?):

How long's he out for?

 

[Jiska]

Macreadie they said
Will debut they said
Lock they said

Hey guys, kindly go and f*ck yourselves

Never heard of him

 

[NormaJeanHawk]

I would have to change my whole team around to get marchbank or sps, not happening now, bound to get a couple of picks wrong so no panicking now, corrective trades coming up after round 2 haha

 

[nameless]

Tomorrow is going to be crazy once teams announced.
Current Rookie situation in my team:

Marchbank, Hampton, Otten, Guthrie
Taranto, SPS, Bowes, SPP, Barett, Pickett
Strnadica
Florent, Simpkin, Butler, Eddy

Hoping for some cheap blokes to come in...don't really want SPS or Marchbank.

Here's my thinking on Marchbank. He's exxy, but he's not an 18yo getting just a taste either. He plays a point scoring game - intercept marks, nice uncontested kick it around in circles marks and kicks. He plays in a backline that will get shelled. Ie. the ball will be near him 65% of the time. He's best 22 easily all year long. Bolton would have brain damage to drop him in this development year. He is capable of big stat games, I think, >20 touches shouldn't be uncommon.

And the other rookies suck balls.

So I'm hitching my wagon, even if he ends up a bench cover piece.

 

[CanadianKanga]

no point picking SPS imo, ive already got SPP on field, so im not going to pay a premium for him to sit on the bench. If he comes out and goes bananas in the first two rounds, i already have the cash on hand to make a corrective trade from another rookie

I think I am going to go with the cash on hand strategy. No point spending every last penny only to have to make a major downgrade or double trade to get in the next hot rookie.

Good strategy.

He'll average more and score more than Waitering did last year IMO

I'm on board

Marchbank has Rance written all over him.

After getting drunk and passing out at Alex's house party, he should count himself lucky that's the worst that happened

 

[gutsroy]

How long's he out for?

Potentially just the one, sounds like he'd be available for selection rd 2:

[swingsnrounds]

Hey all!
Thought I had my rookies locked in, now having second thoughts.
Preferences with the below?:
Def: Hibberd or VW
Mid: Bowes or Parfitt or Pickett
Fwd: Pickett or Turner or Butler
Also what's everyone's thoughts on GH-Smith?
Thanks in advance!

Have you seen studly Rance in the shower with a Marchbank stramp stamp?

I would just wait for teams to come in but for now
VW, Pickett and Butler. Coach will give Butler more than enough games but keep him on the bench, won't get big scores imo.
GHS - NO

Marchbank heard about a facebook post from a distant relative about a post with an image of Rance healing Relton's souvlaki diabetes is more accurate.

 

[dlanod]

Marchbank has Rance written all over him.

Marchbank has since come out and said those tattoos were a big mistake. He thought they had something special.

Interesting last sentence on that article:

Isaac Heeney's glandular fever symptoms have settled "almost completely" with the young star set to ramp up his training towards the end of the week.

Reports this morning that Harrison Macreadie possible a late change tonight.
