Position 2026 Rookies

[Saints4ever]

Gibcus dropped.

I didn’t pick him but I thought he would’ve been 1 of the safest Rookie price players available.

 

[St Steady]

Man, I thought windy had a chip scab role in the backline

windy doesnt need to chip scab

plays football like he's already watched the replay he reads it that well

Gibcus dropped.

Coming off 2 years with no football he just has not had his touch and looks like he needs time to get used to the speed of the game and wasnt his usual self last game or in the preseason/ Bight take him a 6-8 weeks to get back into form and confidence.

I dont have him in my side mainly due to depth we have and his position in the side

Yes he will get plenty of AFL games this year still. I have him on the bench and will hold him for a while, he will be a slow burn at D8.

That math's not mathing for me.

I reckon these are the rookies you need if you don't have them:
Jacques
McAndrew
Murdock
Roberston
Jagga
Blamires
Todd
Cook

And I reckon if you have these, you hold with decent negative BE's:
Serong
Lombard
Grjl
Sellwood
Bond
Lindsay
Rosas

I have all listed except Murdock, Cook, Grlj, Bond, Lindsay and Rosas. The first 3 will come, because as of right now, they'll all "must haves" in my eyes.

Bond and Rosas with 50s are failures at their price. Bond only played 1 game though, so let's see at the end of the week.

Watkins, Lindsay and Sharp on the extended bench, let's see how many makes the final team. Gibcus already dropped.

If I had a pure GnR side, I'd be stressed about how many of the starting rookie crop will get to $300k+.

Don't get me wrong, there's some absolute gems that we're lucky to have. Overall, it's fine.

Is it worth trading Gibcus for Sellwood for the 1 week and netting the 30k expected price bump for Sellwood ? Or even Bo Allan

I already have Grij, Fonti, Lindsay, Serong, Jaques, so the only rookies to flip to are Bond (won’t post scores), Sellwood (doubt he plays out the year, but good cash boost) or Allan (like the role, questionable job security)

Can you swing anyone from MID to DEF and bring in Cook or another MID rookie?

I don’t think so…. I tried swapping ZZ to Gibcus in the flex but if I get Cook then I’m stuck with ZZ in the backline which is the plan in 2 weeks with TDK to Reeves but I want McAndrew in the flex but happy to be wrong as I find the positional switches confusing

You can trade Gibcus, swing Grlj to DEF and bring in Cook

 

[HeHateMe]

Gibcus to Grlj, Cook or Murdoch?
Or wait a week....

If Maric is dropped, get Allan

Yeah but is there a way to trade Gibcus for Cook?

Cause right now my issue is if I trade Gibcus it’s gotta be for a defender and that means I can’t swing Grij back as the only player I can swing is Rozee which I don’t wanna do.

I’m thinking though just trading Gibcus for Worrell and Young to Cook rather than a prem mid this week (waiting on Anderson & Holmes)

Whats the story with Young and why are people trading him out ?
Is his injury long term

This guy has potential to go huge

Hamstring

Hamstring

Its just a strain isnt it and probably only misses 1-2 weeks

Young is the story with Young. Bloke is made of bubbles

 

[Saints4ever]

I think people are just worried due to his Long history with injuries.

Them def rookies you all went nuts over

Annoying.
If I had of known about Lindsay I could’ve looped Serong with Sellwood.
Oh well atleast it’s best 18.

 

[TasSixer]

Surely he gets back in. West Coast need to play him.

stay in team?

 

[stevebbb]

injury to ahh chee seems long term - does chayce jones stay in team?

Different positions. You'd assume a forward comes in for Ah Chee. He got a lot of the ball tonight, but I don't think he did much with it though. I wouldn't go early on him, he's still a bit of a spud and the fans hate him, he's a scapegoat. Let's see what he does next round.

That's why I went midpriced with CJ, Mckercher and Blakiston
