Position 2023 Rookies

[Maybe Tomorrow]

Tex said on Triple m that Berg is training really well and that Michalanney will likely play round one.

Do you agree?

 

[WaynesWorld19]

Do you agree?

My feedback is, Pedlar & Milera should only be the Crows considerations .....there's been very little chatter on Michallaney on the Crows board & by track watchers

Tex telling porkies?

cupboard looks pretty bare for Crows rookies.

More like encouragement ....look, it could be a possibility ....but that backline is already stacked, not sure where Michallaney fits in ?

Keep an eye out for Hugh Bond ....might be s sneaky chance in the 2nd half of the year ....has an excellent SC game about him

North media have put out a video on everyone's second favourite 102k rookie.

'I want to nail my role': The rookie recruit turning heads

North Media sits down with No.1 rookie draft pick Blake Drury midway through the pre-season

Zac Taylor? Really liked him in his draft year.

Apparently struggling fitness wise .....has a way to get up to AFL fitness levels ....looks a million $$$ at state league level though

 

[Blackhawk42]

Can any Melbourne supporters tell me about Bailey Laurie? From what I saw of him at VFL level last season it's surely only a matter of time before he's playing at senior level. Or is he on his last chance and looking at a possible delisting come seasons end?

I'm hoping he dosen't play Round 1 we need good Rookies to trade down to during the season.

Sounds like you'll get your wish

 

[SELFCONFESDAFLNERD]

Currently my rookies/rookie priced

B - Goater, Ginbey, Chesser
M - Culley, Ashcroft, Phillips, Johnson, Baker
R - Madden
F - McLean, Pedlar, Greene, Stone

So ive gone down the route of expensive rookies and im still very happy with my team.

EDIT: Drury/Weddle may come in instead of the Stone/Chesser combo

With Boyd and Walsh injured and Docherty into the midfield, Lachie Cowan is a real chance for Rd One off HB. Has the body and poise to handle the step up and has really impressed during pre season. Kicks it a mile

I don't think Hollands will play early purely because he needs some size and they will be patient

Cowan's been on my rookie bench for a while now. Seemed AFL-ready at draft.

But key forward Charlie Comben looks on track to start in the senior side alongside Nick Larkey as the second key forward target after an eye-catching display taking several strong contested marks deep in attack

Comben could fill a key void for the Roos in the front half, while playmaker Paul Curtis also turned heads on Friday with a clever snapped goal and a big grab to put down payments on selection in round 1 against West Coast at Marvel Stadium.

NGL, I’m tempted. Probably too many viable Roos already

might open up a spot for someone like Menzie (fwd, $154k) or even Alwyn Davey (mid/fwd, $117k). Menzie has been going great guns according to track watchers. Worth keeping an eye on

 

[ArdentEagle]

What's happening on the Sheezel front?
Worth the 200k for security?

 

[weltschmerz]

With Carlton's injuries, Lachie Cowan surely a shout.

He’ll play but it’s a question of where.
Spent half of the last match sim forward and half trialing at HBF.

Thanks mate...Do you have him?

 

[Seymour Skinner]

Or they just swing Doch back.

 

[marcmurphy3]

Or they just swing Doch back.

More likely but in either case Cowan probably one one injury outside the 22 now

 

[Makeshift Park]

Thanks mate...Do you have him?

He’s been in and out of my team all preseason. I can’t decide. There are so many plausible forward rookie options. Gotta wait for the real practice matches before committing to any of them I reckon.
But if Sheezel’s playing the HBF distributor role they were developing for Tarryn Thomas then I think Sheezel would be close to a no brainer.
