Which rookie to start?

[Hodges]

I thought my team was pretty set, but with Aaron Edwards not being selected to play, I need to replace him with another rookie.

Ive narrowed down the choice to these kids:

Leroy Jetta
Nathan Krakouer
Adam Cockshell
Matthew Campbell

All of these players will play this weekend (according to the team lists anyway), with Jetta, Krakouer and Campbell listed as starting.

Which one do you think would be the best for DT?

Keep Edwards on the bench because he won't be far away and will offer more output than the draftees in the same category.

Your 2nd choice rookie should be Alwyn Davey. And if you need a third start going through your list. IMO if your going to have a rookie starting on the field make it one of your midfielders. Even then keeping them all on the bench is advised.

Ive got Alwyn Davey starting. I wasnt going to but the benefits are too great to ignore. I freed up over $200K by doing it.

My bench consists of Edwards and Tom Hawkins, so if I keep Edwards I wont have either of them playing round 1. And I definately want to keep Hawkins, as Ive heard great things about him.

Campbell doesnt seem like troo much of a risk. He has played three pre-season games so far, averaging 47.

What would you expect Edwards to average? Will he get much gametime?

I only saw him in the first NAB Cup game.

He had 10 disposals and 4 marks I think. Got better as the game went on. Has a huge body and is a ready built full forward. He is just what they need with no Thompson and Rocca.

Scored 3 goals in his only other preseason game, that was in about a burst of 10 minutes after Thommo got injured. Surprised that he wasn't named.

The kid who got named in Thommo's place (Matt Campbell) - would you expect him to play much this season? Or will he quickly lose his spot to Edwards?

I want to keep Edwards in the team, however im loathe to start the season with two non-scoring players on the bench.
