Initial Team - Rookies

[Jiska]

About to leave camping wit no internet all weekend.

Who do I start on field (pick 3) - Anderson, Heeney, CEY, Miller, Vandenberg.

Thanks everyone.

Cancel the camping. Priorities.

Heeney, CEY, VB.

I really can't see Anderson making the final team when you look at the options on the extended bench.

Why are people now thinking about getting Hunt?

He is that price for a reason. Don't let one good game fool you.

Over time I expect him to play at the same level he displayed at Geelong.

Don't go wasting trades chasing yesterday's points.

You didn't read all the posts in the discussion re Hunt, did you?

Do you have Swan in your side?

Cartlon have a habit of making scrubs look like All-Australians.

He is playing a different role at Richmond which could be very lucrative. The question still remains as to whether he will remain there, but he doesn;t look like being pushed into a tagging role like he was at Geelong.

I actually rated him at Geelong and was surprised they pushed him out.

Yes I do have Swan in my team.

Swan and Hunt.... no comparison.

Swan was carrying injuries last year and it affected his performances. He has been able to get through all of the preseason.

Don't let one performance against a very ordinary Carlton team (who are a lock to finish bottom 4) fool you.

 

[Jiska]

Yes I do have Swan in my team.

He's also priced like that for a reason. That reason having more to do with a useless coach playing him in the forward pocket instead of in the guts, same as he did at stages the year before.

Hunt hasn't played a full year since 2013 and was on the outer under Scott. New team, new role.

No-one is suggesting using a trade to bring him in after Round 1, not sure why you think that.

I rated him too thought he was a soild player but didnt get enough of it,even when playing of the back flank.
He seems like a confidence type player and was unhappy at the end f hes stay at geelong.As the cats do if someone want out they help them find a home.
Thought he could of been a handy wing type player,but all the best to him.

I remember I only started watching AFL in 09 and only took any real interest in 10. I didn't really know he was so young in 2011-2012, he seemed like a pretty damn good player in that powerhouse Geelong side. Not surprised he's done well on the wing last night, but it remains to be seen if he's used to lock anyone down at different times.

As many of cats fans were waiting on HUnt to take the next step.
Pity he hurt his collar bone he was really good form before that.
Pity the timing of hunts injury and loss of form,guthire could of taken over from Hunts tagging and hunt could be used more on a wing/HB.
anyway hes a tiger now all the best to him.

These guys all named in squad.

Looking at Freo's extended bench Blakely looks unlikely to play.
Would think Barlow, D Pearce, Duffield, Suban and possibly De Boer with Crowley out are ahead of him, probably staying away.
Anyone know Jackson Nelson's scoring ability, and JS/Vest likelihood?

 

[Amazing Bombers]

CEY named. http://www.afc.com.au/news/2015-04-02/afl-squad-cheney-to-debut

looks the likely sub, not good

 

[rocker_oz33]

Lyons could be the sub.
could,hoping.

 

[stevebbb]

McIntosh, Brown, Oxley
Cripps, Heeney, VDB, CEY, Miller, Nelson, Saad
Read
Clark, Hogan, Lonie, Lamb

Anderson fighting for the vest, Sinclair bad JS, McGrath I got no idea

just wait and see, expecting double rookie correction trade in round 3 though

 

[Jars458]

looks the likely sub, not good

I think Cameron is the sub.

 

[elMM]

I wonder how likely Andersoni is to get adequate gametime. My only other option is Sinclair from stk

I think Anderson will play alot this year pending injury. Hawthorn have to bring in young talent and he looks the goods. Along with jono, hartung and Langford he is the future of hawks mids imo

Dockers draftee Connor Blakely will have to wait a little longer to make his AFL debut, with the 19-year-old named as an emergency alongside Mzungu and Hayden Crozier.
