Position 2024 Rookies

Nah, Reid got it in the bag. Only competition is Mckercher if he has that juicy HBF role Sheezel had.

I'm not even certain Reid will be a good sc pick. He may be when we view the PS games. But every high priced rookie success has one thing in common. Elite tank. That's Reid's one knock.
Uncertain at this stage
I'm pretty sure he will be a great player at some stage just not certain about this year.

Still risky, sub candidate and can easily get dropped. Big PS watch for sure.

You'd think Collingwood try to get some games into a few young players in the first half of the season, but we'll see.

We just need the first 6-8 games.

 

[Floating Doughnut]

Get on Wardlaw, huge shot at $5.5 if stays fit.

Love the guy and hope they sort out
His strings but …….

 

[MrChristo]

If he plays early then Darling will eat his hat...

Has trained all preseason. Fingers crossed.

The bloke that got 116 and 99 fantasy in the vfl last year?

I think he’ll be right mate

Mmm hard to break into the premiers 22 - I think Wilson/Mannaugh are safer options & cheaper too

Which Wilson - Saints Darcy or Blues Billy?

 

[King_Steele]

Which Wilson - Saints Darcy or Blues Billy?

Darcy mate will play plenty ala Phillipou & is very fit smashing our time trials so shouldn’t be a sub candidate

 

[buttox]

I will be happy to be convinced on reid after a good PS score. I really need him as a forward lock.
I'm just going to need a viewing before I throw away the key.
I can just see his trajectory being more like petracca than Oliver.

 

[Maybe Tomorrow]

Maybe Mannagh isn't the lock we are all assuming....good news about Stewart though. Keep hearing good things about O'Sullivan, might be picking all rookies in defence at this rate.

You are going early calling him a lock.

Looking at the best 22 from the finals - only Gresh goes out with Henry and Dow both expected ins. Stock was sub and would be expected to push for a spot in the starting 22. There is experienced depth who will be fighting for a spot in Jones, Byrnes and Bonner. Wilson might get a game early but he's got a lot of competition and if he does play, he'd be a high sub chance.

 

[A Bit Dusty]

Reading reports on the Dockers Board and plenty of Big wraps on Cooper Simpson. Many think he will be a Round 1 starter.
He has better stats than Harley Reid in the U18s as well. Definate Watchlist
Simpson won the 2023 Best & Fairest for Dandenong Stingrays and was Co Captain.

With Reid, it's about job security. Happens every year with the top few selections in the draft. Can leave him out but every senior age level he has played he has dominated in. VFL, U18 championships, AIS v VFL teams.

Don't pick him at your peril I say as injury will be the only way he isn't in my team

Helps that he is a forward where there aren't many options. If he was mid only I probably wouldn't pick him.

 

[WaynesWorld19]

Honestly .....never left my side, as a FWD Rookie

Good junior numbers but played as predominately as a mid whereas he almost certainly plays as a small forward for Freo to begin with

 

[FAILTOSUCCEED]

Came here to write the same thing about Simpson for Freo, most think he should get a crack early on.

 

[A Bit Dusty]

I haven't seen anything about Toby Pink recently. I thought he was a lock for best 23 has that changed?

I think he is but we won't know for sure until the PS games

Word I'm hearing is Kallan Dawson might be preferred early over Pink .....even then Pink is going to be one of those treakle scorers, and not the JS lock many thought

We really need some rookies from North and Hawthorn to show something in the pre season. Plenty of sub $250,000 guys we could get games out of and some money
