SPP
Hibberd
Wigg
Miles

Two are dpps, probably better served in their non-mid positions and Wigg isn't guaranteed a round 1 game with Brad Crouch, Thompson and Sloane to return. SPP is slighter more than $120k anyway.

 

[Sydney Kicker]

In theory you're correct however find us some of these $120k midfield rookies for this season.

We'll see who comes out of the woodwork. If I choose a playing R3 then I might also look to take a loophole M11 who doesn't play R1 but will get games later in the year.

The dpp is a benefit imo

Begley is reeling me in despite the fact I know he's pretty much another Tom Papley in which he needs to kick goals to score his points, otherwise he'll just be getting 30's and 40's with the occasional 70+

Like Myers

Myers is probably the bloke you would want to target for M11 then, although no dpp so you're kinda limited in loophole flexibility plus he's not basement priced. Looking at Deluca from Freo as a DPP floating donut candidate. Both Essendon and Freo are the two best teams in terms of loophole players to target.

 

[Fooler]

Should free up 40 or 50 points most weeks too.

Hahahaha. Love this

 

[Flandersss]

Brodie currently on 81

Brodie currently on 81

Playing this dons side even TheOz would score 80

Myers was my first thought when he went down. The Essendon draw makes it tempting.

It's a benefit for trading and filling out spots during bye rounds, don't think it is particularly beneficial in the early rounds, sans floating donut loopholes if you're going down that strategy. For example, would you play Hibberd as a rookie mid and spend $590k odd for Docherty in defence or would you play him in the backline, go one less premo there and spend the equivalent amount on a Sloane, Rockliff, Jelwood or Cripps in the mids?

Exactly my thoughts. I even went the other way and had Adams in my mids at one point because defense rookies are popping up everywhere as opposed to mid rookies.

I'm currently running with a

1/1/6 def
6/1/4 mid

If a mid rookie appears I'll be interested, until then the 4 i previously listed are in.
Myers or Balic or Deluca are my only queries due to R3 options appearing

 

[JuddgementDay]

is D. swallow & KK getting decent game time?

Quite the lean backline, been alternating between 2/0/6 and 3/0/5 in the backs myself, never like a midprice backman, always have come across as a trap for mine. Lonergan, Sheridan, Lumumba, Rich etc etc. With the plethora of back rookies seemingly available, I don't think mid price backmen make much sense this year, some surer mid-pricers in the forwards who have been actual premos before like Roughy if you're going to go down the mid price route.

70% odd TOG per fanfooty. Swallow not overly prominent, don't think.

 

[CrozaN]

The JOM v Swallow debate is getting made easier.

 

[gutsroy]

Currie, JLT specialist.

 

[TheBeardAmigos]

is D. swallow & KK getting decent game time?

Swallow 13 touches at 100% from 70% TOG
KK 13 touches at 69% from 66% TOG

Papley scored a couple of tons in his first two games no? Played for a much stronger team to be fair.

 

[MacStradbroke]

After watching Omeara earlier today, read a few posts mentioning him as a lock, checked his price and surprised to see its only $318,000! That is going to be hard to ignore! If he stays upright he's certainly worth a punt surely.

 

[TheOz]

12 disposals and 44 #SuperCoach pts for Swallow midway through the final term. KK on 36, Ainsworth 69 and Brodie 84. Watson 56.

 

[Jiska]

He's no Studly is the pretender Gawn, just ask Jiska

Starting with the ugly hack this year TheOz?

 

[CrozaN]

Anyone else strongly considering Higgins now? 2 90+ scores in both games.....playing as a pure mid now.

 

[Jiska]

Jiska you gotta be happy with your boys, plenty of talent on show?

Have not yet watched it.

Tried to watch it last night, fell asleep an woke up at quarter time. Saw 5 minutes of the second and fell asleep again. LOL.

Will watch it when I'm a bit more awake.
