2018 Rookies

[LeverPuller]

**** the forward rooks. Dunkley as F6 and Fritsch/Ryan on the bench, way more faith in the defs.

Now I just need Holman, Barry and Robbie Fox to play...

You’re one of a few I’ve seen with six pricey forwards. You must be going weak somewhere else, do you have a rookie for a D3 or something because I can’t find the cash to get a decent F5 let alone F6

Thougts on english as a rookie forward line?

Terrible idea. No really... not joking!

5 rooks down back and in the guts. Naughton/Keefe/Murray/Doedee/+1 (currently Finlayson) DEF
Banfield/Brayshaw/TKelly/Fox/Barry/Holman midfield with Cogs at M5.

Mids probably more subject to change with the rooks. I'm not taking Stephenson as he doesn't have the JS. Concerned about Barry and Holman but could always drop Fox. $22k in the bank too so if it's just one then I will be fine.

Fwd is Dahl/Trac/ANB/Smith/Walters FWIW

Admittedly I don't have Danger either

 

[WaynesWorld19]

But Cameron is a lock!! I reckon he plays 10-15 games this year

 

[WaynesWorld19]

Thinking about using him as my R3 loophole. Cox FWD to cover an injured/suspended R1 or R2.

It's a lot of $$$ tied up for players probably not playing, or scoring REALLY Badly

 

[Kadog]

Do you expect them to play 2 garbage truck rucks then or are you expecting him to overtake Sinclair?

I'm tipping the Swans make a play for either Goldy/Pruess in mid season trade. If they have cap space they'd be crazy not to.

 

[WaynesWorld19]

I get the feeling that’s he’s not really close to selection, at least not early in the season

Think English will get 3-5 games thru the year ......not enough to be SC relevant

This year

Any love for Robbie Fox ?

This year

Last I heard the AFL were looking to introduce it this year. I could be wrong though.

I thought the AFL had indicated 2019 ......but who knows with the AFL ?

With the aggressive trading Port did over the summer and the fact they genuinely believe they can win the premiership, I can't see how Barry slots into their team long-term, let alone just a placeholder in round 1

Looks like Boak, Rocky and SPP will all play in round 1

Could well play round 1 off the half back, despite the talk of Stoddard debuting i think we are way more likely to play Robbie. The only problem is his price, not to mention his JS. Although the last few years we've had rookies that have debuted early and kept their spot on form i.e Papley/Hewett/Mills in 2016 and Melican and to a certain degree Hayward in 2017. This year if wouldnt be a huge suprise if one of Fox/Stoddard played 15+ games depending on the form and fitness of Mcveigh and Allir and also where they play Mills.

 

[rocker_oz33]

Unsure on brodie or Angus beef brayshaw.

On hes 3 games last year Brodie layed a heap of tackles.

With Brodie, it's whether or not Dew sees him as becoming a main mid for the Suns this year.

He has Hall, Lyons, Swallow, Miller, Fiorini, Barlow to contend with for contested ball, having Brodie could make it a bit top heavy and that is what Dew is thinking IMO. however, Swallow is injury prone AF, so a spot could open up, but its too risky.

I would only pick Brodie, if I was picking Danger (which I'm not) due to cash. LDU/Dow/Clark/Jacobs are all other options around that 200k price

Who slots in? ...

 

[TheBeardAmigos]

Who slots in? ...

some options are

slot Finlayson or Coffield in middle

Chuck Zuthrie/Aliir/Byrne down back depending on coin

otherwise, Garlett/Constable if you dont have much cash

 

[Andrewy]

Has anyone seen any news on Cole from West Coast?

father passed away this week
funeral in Vic on Friday, unlikely to play round 1

plenty of options anyway, Zuthrie/Coff/Naughton/Doedee/Murray/Finlayson/Keeffe

Thanks TBA Might bench him anyway rather than get Zuthrie

Same here ....same reasons

Really looking forward to which Rookies are picked this week .....still 2-3 spots up for grabs in my side

think him and Zuthrie will average about the same, but it depends if you need a def rookie playing (which no one should)

Its all about predicting the best "bubble" investment on my benches
