West AdelaideThen I have 12 too.

.......Yeah, 6 rookies as well. I can live with these rookies.I'm only mid-price madness in DEF ...and M5 & M6 .....8 x mid-pricers, if you include Greene as a mid pricer
Just not happy with 6 on field Rookies ......want to get down to 5, but I simply can't see it being any lower than that
West AdelaideClark, Walsh, Duursma, Setters, Drew & unknown .....as it won't be a Rookie at this stageYeah, 6 rookies as well. I can live with these rookies.
I would say we have the same 5:
Clark, Walsh, Butters, Setters, Drew and one that you are unlikely to have Scrimshaw

I can understand no Scrimshaw, but no Butters?Clark, Walsh, Duursma, Setters, Drew & unknown .....as it won't be a Rookie at this stage
West AdelaideNo ! .....JLT form can be misleading & I think Butters will play as a small forward .....but his scoring to be low due to low possessions, unless he kicks a few goalsI can understand no Scrimshaw, but no Butters?
I have him in the same risks bracket as per Ridley, Collins and Moore - but, obviously a lot cheaper.No ! .....JLT form can be misleading & I think Butters will play as a small forward .....but his scoring to be low due to low possessions, unless he kicks a few goals
What was Judd_Magic 's team .....3 x On-Field Rookies
I can live with Walsh + 1 ...in the midfield ......but 2 Rookies in both FWD & DEF , I can't this year
But I do not trust Ridley

Good example. Jumping off at the right time is crucial.I did this with Jeffy Garlett a few years ago, maybe his 1st year at Melbourne. Tonned up early in the year and I timed it sweet trading him out at an 80 av and 90k odd increase for a very decreased Zorko I believe - only cost me 100k or so to get Zorkos super scores for the next 4 months!
Yep only 3 on field rookies for me.
Clark
Walsh
Setterfield

West AdelaideThoughts on Cuningham from Carlt ?? ..... and Judd_MagicThey're the only 3 rookies I trust not to get dropped after Rd1
Thoughts on Cuningham from Carlt ?? ..... and Judd_Magic
West AdelaideWho?If I was going to pay 2 fiddy for a small forward, I'd go with Linc
Who?
What about Collins ....is he going to score enough ?
West AdelaideI'm worried he'll get injured in the pre-match warm up ......hexxed !Lincoln Maccarthy
I'm worried Collins is going to play lockdown tall and average 50 which would be fine if he cost 123k and was on my Def bench...

Cuninghams durability is not much betterI'm worried he'll get injured in the pre-match warm up ......hexxed !
Collins can score though. He scored 2 x 100 from 12 games in his debut season at Fremantle.
If he averages 58, he is still going to increase in price close to $90,000, not to mention he has the ability to score hundreds (see above). If a guy priced at this, can garner us the same amount of points/cash as a rookie, why wouldn't you select him? Furthermore, there are no question marks over his JS so even if you do keep him, he will be a very handy D6/D7 for the year you can lock and leave.
Was my first picked rookie this year.
Edit. His first 6 games aren't exactly a tough draw. St.Kilda (A), Fremantle (H), Bulldogs (A), Blues (H), Crows (A), Lions (H)
West AdelaideHad 2 good JLT scores ......ignore that ?Cuninghams durability is not much better

West AdelaideThe search for a suitable cheap D5 continues thenHe kicked bags of goals as a Carlton forward pocket...

So long as Dew is coach, his JS will be questionable
West AdelaideBloody hell .....all the injury prone one's are in my price range .....ok then I'll investigatefor only 45k more (than Cunners) you could have Hanley
