Most debutants in one season?

[hamush]

With fremantle bringing in two more debutants this week, that brings the total to nine this season. Has there ever been a season where there has been that many debutants before?

 

[AG]

Collingwood would have gone close a few years ago.

The fiirst season of any of the new teams . eg Port crows fremantle etc

 

[Quinz]

West Coast had 9 in 2000.

 

[PowerIStough]

North have 7 so far

 

[DOCKERZ]

Been a couple of teams in the last 5 years had 10. I think Brisbane was one of them.
That was throughout the season tho, not sure in the first 13 rounds.

Collingwood- 10 in 2003

this one's interesting - they made the GF that year

 

[jonesy86]

I don't think 2003 would be correct, we had a shocking draft at the end of '02.

Maybe including players from other clubs?

 

[coke_zero]

richmond have been around the bottom for around the last decade but never have had a large amount of debutants in one year.

You're right, it was 2004.

 

[Blueboiiz]

When the goldcoast team arrives

 

[daniel2323]

That is amazing.

yes it is , shows how smart the club is , they realised it was the end of an amazing era and knew they had to go again so they started over

 

[Lucev23]

Freo got any other players that could possible get a run before the seasons end?

 

[Selggad]

Few more - Jay van Berlo and Ben Bucovaz, one mature rookie and one ND who are both coming back off injury. Don't think we could play any more rookies though. Also Tim Ruffles who was selected the other week but didn't make the final 22

 

[Ryda]

Listened to two hours of a slanging match between Hardie and Jackovich - at the end they were saying about all the new players the Eagles have brought in this year and Karl reckoned they had blooded almost as many as Fremantle - shows just how biased they are.

A couple of weeks ago Klangdon was asked whether masten or Palmer was the better pickup. klangdon reckons, based on performances to date, it is line ball but masten was the better pickup because he will perform better in the long run.

karl isnt the sharpest tool in the shed....he's just a tool.

 

[Moo]

Freo got any other players that could possible get a run before the seasons end?

Ruffles for sure.

 

[sTeeL]

To be fair, its not that surprising considering the deadwood they are having to replace these kids with.

Bias? I would not necessarily say blooding more players is a good thing though i would certainly want to blood more than two.
