Prediction Rookie upgrade

[FQFjt]

We get a free rookie upgrade for Carlisle's suspension.

 

[Dr Spaceman]

Coughlan as a "like for like" with some VFL experience behind him

 

[Cornish]

Coughlan for me like for like

 

[The Jack Pack]

I'll throw my hat in the ring for Coughlan as well.

 

[George]

How do you know we get the upgrade? Link?

 

[Axcellence]

Holmes

 

[George]

All good, found it - get Coughlan in there

 

[Mindtraveller]

No one. Coughlan isn't like for like. I'd prefer to wait to see him prove himself at VFL first.
Saunders most likely imo.

 

[Sir Skid]

Holmes

 

[Persevering Saint]

I'd hold off, and use it as a carrot for them during the preseason - whoever performs best gets the upgrade.

 

[CursingFijian]

Holmes please!

 

[Persevering Saint]

The other option may well be JBT?

 

[Mindtraveller]

The other option may well be JBT?

Nope. Still a long way off. He was playing Development league until he got injured last year.

I'd be looking at next year for him.

NOK

Jake 200cm 102kg 85 games
Coughlan 195cm 83kg 0games

The kids a KPD that needs to develope, i knew Jake was big, i didnt realise he was so friggen huge though, so other than position they are not like for like at all, and i think the kid will get monstered if he was on a gorilla.

Coughlan should shoot up a few cm and bulk up a bit this season though

 

[Joffaboy]

I have drunk the BrianSpeaking Kool-Aid so went for NOK

All those peptides.

I dont see a need to upgrade anyone right now.

If we need a KPD to play round one we still have Delaney.

Geary - Delaney - Fisher
Dempster - Goddard - Webster

I'm ok with that back 6 to start the season. If Cogs earns a spot as a tall defender then bring him in for sure but unless the AFL have said we need to decide before a certain date, I would just sit tight.

 

[NarrowMind]

Coughlan for me too. Fast tracks his development and may create some competition for spots down back down the track.

I like this option with Fish away from any KPD position for third up and clearance options.

 

[Gangnam Saint]

If you had to make a decision today you'd have to say "like for like" but the club will have the benefit of the NAB Cup / pre-season form to make a call as to who is likely to be the best contributor.

 

[Persevering Saint]

While I love the guy, the problem with bringing Keys in is that it puts a fair bit of pressure on other facets of the Best 22.

 

[cooperrules]

Aaaaaaaaaah do get flea geeesees pweese.

As long as Keys and Gears aren't allowed to kick the ball at any point, sure.

 

[CHBench]

On merit. The one who's closest to the 22.
