Saw retirees Lonergan and Mackie being interviewed on TV last night and it got me wondering who their likely replacements are in the Geelong defence this season. Do Geelong supporters feel they're departure will create a chance for any specific fringe player to become decent SC scorers? Are there particular rookies who might get regular games in their spots?
The Geelong midfield and forward rookies really worry me this season. They could be a trap. About 5 of them performed well enough in the JLT to be considered for a round 1 spot in the likely absence of Danger and Menegola, but which if any of the ones named for round 1 will still be there when those players return and last to even play 3 games?
I'm swinging towards going premo rookies to start.
I don't mind my team overall, and although their $$$ generation is hampered by starting at $170+, you kind of make that up when you downgrade them (sort of).
Right now I have Noughton, Coffield, Brayshaw, Dow and Rayner as expensive rookies, all starting on the field (with Murray and Fritzl other starters).

He doesn't have much exposed form in the mids. 85 min 105 absolute max IMO.
Bit of a guess though.
3xjlt games would have been helpful for these types of players. I feel I'm taking less of these risks this year as 1 or 2 preseason games tells us **** all.
