Charlie Spargo is a jet, his old man played for North but not enough to qualify for FS selection, I've heard that North are keen on him anyways so I hope they do pick him up. Should be a F/M too.

Gotta take each rookie on face value. If the guy can find the ball and he ends up at a club like North who have a giant contested ball winning hole in their midfield, then you gotta at least have a look.

A little positional and price guesswork as a keen draft fan
  1. Jack Higgins - FWD pretty pricey
  2. Cam Rayner - MID/FWD very pricey
  3. Jaiden Stephenson - MID/FWD pretty pricey
  4. Andrew Brayshaw - MID very pricey
  5. Luke Davies-Uniacke - MID very pricey
  6. Paddy Dow - MID very pricey
  7. Adam Cerra - MID very pricey
  8. Lachlan Fogarty - MID (could be fwd as well) little bit pricey
  9. Dylan Moore - FWD (could be mid) standard rookie price
  10. Oscar Allen - FWD little bit pricey
  11. Aaron Naughton - DEF pretty pricey
  12. Hunter Clark - DEF/MID pretty pricey
  13. Charlie Constable - MID (could be def as well) little bit pricey or standard rookie price
  14. Nick Coffield - DEF (could be mid as well) pretty pricey
  15. Brent Daniels - FWD standard rookie price
  16. Jordan Houlahan - FWD standard rookie price
  17. Sam Hayes - RUC standard rookie price
  18. Oscar Clavarino - DEF standard rookie price
  19. Gryan Miers - FWD standard rookie price

  27. Noah Balta - DEF/FWD standard rookie price
  28. Jake Patmore - DEF/MID standard rookie price
  29. Brayden Ainsworth - MID standard rookie price
  30. Andrew McPherson - DEF/MID standard rookie price
 
Currently my favourite rookie prospects are:

Defenders: Hunter Clark, Noah Balta, Ben Paton
Midfielders: Luke Davies-Uniacke, James Worpel, Oskar Baker, Tim Kelly
Forwards: Jaidyn Stephenson, Jack Higgins, Liam Ryan

Hoping that Jye Bolton, Jordan Keras, Tom Atkins, Haiden Schloithe, Liam Ryan, Tim Kelly and Dom Barry are all AFL bound as mature-aged players.
 
Out of Geelong's picks, I do like L. Fogarty but think there'll be better rookies out there.

Constable & Miers I wouldn't touch in SuperCoach either.

I'm not going to call him a lock yet, but watch Tim Kelly's JLT series very closely. Mature-age (23) midfielder who finished runner up in the Sandover Medal. Remember how well Menegola went for Geelong & Supercoach when being a mature age recruit from the WAFL? Apparently is a Daniel Wells type midfielder, so hopefully he is that silky just without all the injuries. Watch this space.

Hartung at North and Garlett at Carlton are we interested (price depending)

I highly doubt Hartung will be priced as a rookie, instead he'll be priced at his 2017 average. And it's not like Hawthorn didn't give him chances, either.

Garlett, again depends on the price. At the basement price he's intriguing, but I'm skeptical he will be. Plus he was apparently kinda shit at WAFL level, so it remains to be seen whether he'll get back to his potential.

Coffield and Higgins probably the other two ultra reliable picks outside of mature agers.

Ablett - Pendles - Selwood - Fyfe - Bont - Coniglio - LDU

With the rest to be filled out after NAB.

Hartung hell NO!

Garlett at 115k very interested if he pulls hus finger out
 
Nathan Murphy from the Pies. Pick 39 but was predicted by many to go in the first round, and will be cheap.

Unlikely to play early, but if he continues to improve on his exposed form, could be one of our early downgrades.

Bottom shmottom.... if there named and do well they get to keep there spot no matter where ther team is on the ladder. Even Rossy Lion may learn this in 2018

Averaged over 200 supercoach points per game in the u16 champs. May not get early games but one to watch.

I prefer their is a greater opportunity for rookies so unless they are a stand out in the preseason or a ready made mature ager i look towards
the bottom dwellers usually.

Taranto last year was a good example, went against my usually thinking by starting him and i sold him early-mid season when he seemed to be puttering along.
Bad call as he only made about 100k at the time and slowly put on more money later, hate having a starting rookie who's traveling mediocre still
by mid season.

That extra money from 117-123k to 180-210k is so hard to make up in terms of the points needed to make
acceptable money on top of initial investment that you really need to hit those expensive rookies spot on.
