Round 1 Debuts

[FishCreekBandit]

I thought a thread where all the first games are named would be useful to help people looking for that bargain player.

From the Bulldogs we are likely to have 0 first games with the only real chance being Libba (midfielder)

 

[September 27 2008]

Conca, Helbig and Batchelor to debut for the Tigers, Duigan and Curnow for the Blues

 

[bestin]

Helbig next relton?

 

[SHAKESPEARE]

Helbig next relton?

LOL i will never make that mistake again, i hope

Conca looks a goodun. Have shifted my whole side just to get him. 10 mcg games to start...should work right into it.

 

[Supercoachfan]

What does everyone think about Curnow? Worth a look? Or will he just get dropped when Mclean is fit.

 

[SHAKESPEARE]

Will probs go straight out the door.

Hopefully Pittard, Irons get selected as those have greater job security

 

[Hot Tiges]

Hopefully Bewick gets picked otherwise i'll look at Pittard or Irons..

Either Tuck is injured or the Tigers coach is mad !

 

[trossa]

Curnow will play a lot of games, he has been in my side a while now.

 

[Daniels]

Helbig next relton?

facebook style where is the LIKE button!?

 

[Humdot]

Anyone how likely N Lower will be playing this weekend for Freo?

I'd say both Pittard and Irons will play. Pittard has been said in the media by Primus that he'll play, and Irons has just been elevated off the rookie list. Whether they're good scorers or not is another question.

 

[Ed D]

Anyone how likely N Lower will be playing this weekend for Freo?

Very likely. I'd be surprised if he didn't play.

 

[Roostasani]

I know Jayden Pitt for Freo will be picked this week.... I'm hoping Irons plays!

very likely

 

[Berserker26]

Just read that Tapscott will debut in Rd 1 also.

 

[Double the Fist]

Still thinking of swapping out shane savage from the Hawks.
Can anyone comment on Shane Savage?

Cheers blokes.

wouldnt say Irons has job security. is on the port list for Lobbe who is listed as being only 5 weeks away from returning!

 

[Kopout]

RT @nickrynne: Pitt and Lower to play for Fremantle against the Lions. Confirmed by coach Mark Harvey at a sponsorship announcement this morning. #afl

 

[benson6]

any news on hibberd? seems doubtful now, but given his talent is it worth carrying him, albeit on the bench

 

[CatFan79]

Is this opinion based on anything credible?

Not a first gamer, but certainly priced like one, Simon Buckley will apparantly play for Collingwood on Saturday. Pies fans - will he keep his spot long enough to increase his value significantly?

If he plays enough he will score well, but I just don't know about job security for him. After a great Pre-Season he is probably in the best 25, but will he make the 21?

I've offered this advice to someone else who has picked Buckley you may take this advice or not it is up to you but if you are serious about SC then DO NOT pick Buckley he is known for his terrible kicking.

He'd have to play well to keep his spot but I think there are better options about. So no, he's likely to be mostly out of the side this year IMO. They might choose Keeffe over him instead this week as well. We'll know in a few hours I guess, but there are too many players ahead of him.

 

[MarchingOnTogether]

Couldnt imagine so. Be surprised if he plays round 1. More of a security half back. Behind the likes of Heater, Ben Johnson and now Leon in the pecking order. Needs an injury to get games. But then who knows
