Hickey at R2? Pre season flyer.....

Because there's no way Flynn is playing 22 games as a Rookie .....and when he's named out, what's your plan "B"
Here's a crazy idea:
If Flynn, Fullarton and Treacy are all named Round 1, run with:
Gawn R1, Flynn R2, Fullarton R3 and Treacy F8 and upgrade a mid rookie to mid $600K player... surely between the 3 of them they will have one playing each round.
It depends if I can choose a premo mid who scores 60-70 points more than than a mid rookie on field??Draper's a highly rated young ruck and he only averaged 70 last year. Flynn's a 23yr old NEAFL level ruck. Are you prepared for anti-POD R2 (Grundy) averaging 60-70 points a week more than your R2?

Yes and ROB played 2 games in 2018 for an average of 63. Then played 18 games in 2019 for an average of 95 so what is your point? ROB is the exception or Draper is a DUD?
Seriously, you reckon Flynn's in the same class as ROB? Come on, man. Draper is not a dud. 70 is a solid return for a rookie ruck. ROB was clearly the exception not the norm.
Flynn is 23.5 years old has been on the GWS list for 5 years and still hasn't debuted. Not only has he not starred at NEAL level, the club bought in another novice ruck of the same age in Preuss because they only saw Flynn as depth. But go ahead and kid yourself about him averaging 95.
Some players just need the chance at AFL level to prove themselves you seem quick to dismiss some players that's all.
Flynn hasn't shown much at NEAFL level which is a step below VFL/SANFL/WAFL. If he can average 70+ at AFL level it will be a huge win for us that have him as a R3 cash cow. So I'm not against him doing well. Your expectations of him is unrealistic though.
I don't have any expectations of him I'm not sure where you got that from!!! I merely said you can't dismiss a player just like that when you really know nothing about him even though you seem to think you do.
My thoroughbred is fine ....a bit high-strung, but we're preparing Nic-Nat for Round 1 .....not some silly trial matches
Currently in my team but I've heard about him sitting out some training sessions recently. Is he injured or just doing a grog bog?Its big Drapes that'll make the jump from 70 ave to 90 ave.

We will have 2 Derbies to assess the scoring potential of Bailey J Williams. Presumably both he and Vardy will ruck and will only be against Meek/ Lobbe. 198k is pricey unless he can string together some games as main ruck.
Bailey Williams has a quad complaint at the moment so doubt we will see him this weekendWe will have 2 Derbies to assess the scoring potential of Bailey J Williams.
