According to footywire Alec Waterman was listed as a MID ONLY in his short stint on the WCE list. Hopefully CD will take note of his 4 goal haul the other day and make him a 102k M/F

There are plenty of forward rookies, Mid is fine, Mid/fwd is better. Def would be perfect!

Originally he was a father son pick 76 in 2014.
He spent 2 years on our list.
We actually re-rookied him when he fell sick with the kissing disease, delisted 2016 he had 2 years off and played for Claremont last year and the year before, mostly fwd.

He played as a forward for Claremont last year so they might even go the other way and make him Fwd only. Crossing my fingers for 102k M/F DP though.

So I've been thinking if it's the profit or liquidity that really matters when upgrading/downgrading players?
Regardless of if a player was a rookie or midpricer when your started with them, if they're both $400k when you sell for a $100k rookie, you have $300k in the hand to play with for an upgrade.
Sometimes it's the cost of the downgrade target that makes the difference.
The additional outlay for some midpricers to start with can be as much about job security and hopefully consistent points each week until you upgrade as opposed to trying to pick breakouts you'll hold all year.
Is this too logical/illogical....

Yeah definitely. 95 is a d6/f6 keeper. Even 90 is fine I reckon. If it's a bad season overall or for your team then 95 at m8 is sometimes not a bad outcome.

This is very logical as midpricers will generally score better than rookies.
The downside is too many midpricers limits your ability to get Super-premo's. And this means less VC/C options, which can loose you points. I think what people forget is we only get 2 trades per week, so if you have a dud mid-pricer it can be hard to get rid of them when you have rookies to up/downgrade and injuries to deal with.
It's all a balancing act!

Goodbye Trent Bockman and hello Waterman. Hopefully cheaper and sounds less like a news anchor.

Where is Worrell at for round 1? I'll take him on the other side of Cox, who I think will play a lot of games this year. I'm happy for Worrell to not play in round 1, use him as my early round loophole option, fully expecting him to play soon. Even if he comes in in round 2-4, I'll have other rookies out by then.
It's looking like there'll be a heap of forward rookies to choose from. With Ziebell/Daniher/Impey on field and forward only, I don't think there's enough room to take a donut loophole at F8.
Yes forward rookies typically don't score well, but if there's options available up forward and not many down back or in the middle, you simply have to take them.
