Position 2024 Rookies

[Northernsoul74]

Dempsey comfortably imo

Buku has been Ok but still looked shaky defensively 1 on 1. He should be around for a bit but I'd prefer Dempsey by a decent stretch

I expect Buku to go third tall defender when JOD returns.

 

[JY5165]

I guess you need to assess him now against the starting picks of H Reid, Kerch, Mass, Zilliams etc as that's his current price. With the added bonus of knowing his scoring potential and price movements.

Eye test is a clear pass, role is good he works from deep D50 to deep F50, seems very much at home at the level. His floor is prob 55-60 but can see spike games being tons with a few goals. Can def be fielded with confidence.

The other consideration is outside him and Darcy there are no good fwd rookies on the horizon

this

everyone thinking of hopping off jordan next week but theres no real downgrade options and if you already havve heeney jackson flanders powell there arent many upgrade options either

 

[Maybe Tomorrow]

Read, Graham, and Clohesly all debuting for the Suns this week. Dimma to the rescue!

I wonder who is out. Possibly not good for Sexton.

Ellis for sure, he's cooked but got his milestone game.

Both Read and Graham could be in defence. Long out and Sexton forward is possible. I hope Budarick is dropped.

tom brown probably the best option for a def rookie, but more due to the lack of options

I refuse to own a player called Tom Brown. Surely you change your name by deed poll.

 

[MrChristo]

Are we all sleeping on [pronounce first name] Mullin?

 

[Jiska]

Are we all sleeping on [pronounce first name] Mullin?

No. At that price Brown a better option. If Mullin was 123k he’d be in the discussion. But then there’s Chris, who has a history of giving rookies a few games then dropping them again. Not always, but enough to make me wary.

Thoughts on JS of Mykelti Lefau with Lynch and Balta out?

JS good. SP awful.

Does have Eagles to hopefully spike (although key forwards havent got ahold of them yet).

I also think Eagles should be eyeing off that game for a win also...

 

[The Flying Belgian]

One to watch:

 

[Maybe Tomorrow]

$102k Mid/Fwd

 

[TempletonTheRat]

$102k Mid/Fwd

positives
Cheap
downgrade option rd 6 if he holds

negatives
small forward for eagles
14 possies in WAFL - probably less at AFL level


where's Hall ?

 

[Makeshift Park]

Bother. There's no Sellers or Maley in Adelaide.

Tell me more about this small forward from WCE.

Really need a 102k rookie.

 

[WaynesWorld19]

One to watch:

I really loved Logan Morris as a footballer in the U18 championships .....understand he fell, due to being an undersized key fwd ......but they said the same about Josh Battle and Jack Darling ....no position at the AFL level for them

Morris is just a natural footballer

 

[toxic]

Mullin and Conway dropped for Cats

It's how you play, not how you measure.

$117K FWD. Not sure he'll get named this week, otherwise there might have been an announcement from the club, but is getting closer.

Can anyone shed some light on why Darcy is a 'must have', wouldn't he be first chopped for Lobb, or is he being seriously groomed for long term service this year or the next coming years?

I want to trade him but I've a bad feeling about it.

Well he was very good vs GCS then ordinary last week against WC. If he's ordinary this week again and Lobb plays well in VFL, he's probably out next week lol

Supremely talented, English free agent we absolutely must get games into Darcy this yr. 32yo Tik Tok hero is not the answer
