Strategy 2023: Rookies Discussion
- Thread starter freowho
- Start date
Wehr and Lloyd are the obvious ones, playing that winger role before Angwin. However Lloyd isn't a natural winger so it's not a stretch to say Angwin should hold, even with Lloyd easing back this week, and Wehr is still 5-7 weeks away. Stone is an option but it doesn't really play to his strengths and he's still 4-5 away anyway.
Lloyd had been playing wing and was the late out for Angwin 2 weeks ago. He didn't play at any level last week (test) and is an EMG this week now (assume may play VFL, or even be the sub)
GWS coach has said they've moved Fahey to the wing in the VFL to fast-track him to the AFL team (couldn't get in ahead of Whitfield/Ash) which I think spells big danger for Angwin too.
As dlanod mentions, Wehr is the preferred winger but is 5-7 away.
I think his JS is terrible in the short term, but I need the extra cash from Angwin over Simpson, and don't love Simpson's role anyway.

Round 7 AFL, round 6 VFL, round 5 WAFL & SANFL
Quoting the reviews I've already done above and in the previous post. From next week onwards I'll quote the previous round's review so you can view all of them nice and easily without having to go and search through the pages.
Good rookie performances in the VFL/WAFL/SANFL:
Andrew McPherson (155k DEF, ADE) had 29 disposals (21 kicks), 12 marks and 3 tackles for 129 AF.
Billy Dowling (117k MID, ADE) had 22 disposals (12 kicks), 8 marks and no tackles for 77 AF.
Deven Robertson (202k MID, BRL) had 31 disposals (12 kicks), 4 marks and 6 tackles for 107 AF. Once again, a standout performance in the 2's. BE of 115 so should drop well into the 100k's and if there is any sign of decent JS, he could be a really good pick.
Kai Lohmann (146k FWD, BRL) had 17 disposals (13 kicks), 5 marks, 8 tackles and 2.0 for 106AF.
Jaxon Binns (117k MID/FWD, CAR) had 24 disposals (16 kicks), 4 marks and no tackles for 71AF. Not as good of a performance as weeks prior, but still a good one nonetheless. Must be close.
Finlay Macrae (123k MID/FWD, COL) had 26 disposals (21 kicks), 2 marks, 11 tackles and 0.1 for 124AF. Surely he gets another crack at some stage?
Jakob Ryan (117k DEF, COL) had 23 disposals (10 kicks), 4 marks and 2 tackles for 76AF.
Arlo Draper (123k DEF, COL) had 21 disposals (9 kicks), 1 mark, 4 tackles and 1.0 for 74AF.
Rhett Montgomerie (102k DEF, ESS) had 24 disposals (14 kicks), 11 marks and 3 tackles for 110AF. I think he gets a game this week, but he'll likely be dropped as soon as Ridley returns from concussion.
Sam Sturt (148k FWD, FRE) had 24 disposals (11 kicks), 7 marks, 3 tackles and 1.3. Really nice performance from Sturt which hopefully sees him back in the senior side this week.
Karl Worner (123k DEF/MID, FRE) had 23 disposals (11 kicks), 3 marks and 1 tackle.
Corey Wagner (117k DEF/MID, FRE) had 18 disposals (12 kicks), 5 marks, 1 tackle and 1.0. Solid outing, better than Wilson too.
James Willis (123k MID/FWD, GEE) had 21 disposals (19 kicks), 2 marks, 5 tackles and 3.0 for 100AF.
Charlie Constable (123k DEF/MID, GCS) had 31 disposals (18 kicks), 5 marks, 5 tackles and 0.1 for 110AF. 5 tackles for Constable! Good to see. Hopefully he can force his way back into the team just before the byes.
Ned Moyle (123k RUC, GCS) had 19 disposals (14 kicks), 6 marks, 2 tackles and 42 HO for 118AF.
Chris Burgess (138k DEF/FWD, GCS) had 14 disposals (11 kicks), 6 marks, 1 tackle, 8 HO and 3.2 for 87AF.
Brodie McLaughlin (102k FWD, GCS) had 16 disposals (10 kicks), 4 marks, 1 tackle and 3.1 for 77AF.
Cameron Fleeton (123k DEF, GWS) had 31 disposals (14 kicks), 10 marks and 1 tackle for 106AF. 23, 30 and now 31 touches in his last few games. he along with Fahey must be close.
Josh Fahey (123K DEF/MID, GWS) had 23 disposals (14 kicks), 5 marks, no tackles and 1.0 for 78AF. Another solid performance.
Max Gruzewski (117k DEF, GWS) had 12 disposals (10 kicks), 10 marks, 2 tackles and 3.2 for 93AF. Great game from him. Is there a sneaky chance he replaces an underperforming Cadman soon?
Max Ramsden (123k RUC/FWD, HAW) had 22 disposals (10 kicks), 5 marks, 1 tackle, 35 HO and 2.2 for 128AF. Ramsden in and Fergus Greene out this week? Decent chance I think.
Ned Long (165k MID, HAW) had 21 disposals (12 kicks), 7 marks, 4 tackles and 0.2 for 88AF.
Bailey Laurie (123K MID/FWD, MEL) had 25 disposals (13 kicks), 3 marks, 1 tackle and 1.1 for 83AF.
Taj Woewodin (123k MID/FWD, MEL) had 24 disposals (13 kicks), 5 marks and 4 tackles for 81AF.
Blake Howes (123k MID/FWD, MEL) had 24 disposals (14 kicks), 7 marks and 2 tackles for 92AF.
Eddie Ford (123k FWD, NTH) had 23 disposals (8 kicks), 3 marks, 1 tackle and 3.0 for 87AF. He is one who should get games at some point this year. He is also putting lots of pressure on Drury to perform well at AFL level.
Cooper Harvey (117K MID/FWD, NTH) had 17 disposals (10 kicks), 5 marks, 1 tackle and 4.1 for 89AF.
Hugh Jackson (123K MID/FWD, PTA) had 23 disposals (15 kicks), 2 marks, 10 tackles and 0.1 for 101AF.
Will Gould (123K DEF, SYD) had 20 disposals (18 kicks), 9 marks and 4 tackles for 95AF.
Corey Warner (123k MID/FWD, SYD) had 19 disposals (9 kicks), 3 marks, 3 tackles and 1.0 for 74AF.
Toby McLean (175k MID/FWD) had 25 disposals (8 kicks), 4 marks, 2 tackles and 0.1 for 78AF.
Richmond had a bye this week.

Is the 50k saving on gulden vs Sinclair worth it. I'm not chasing guldens points from last week. But bar the Geelong game (where they all stunk) just 2 scores in the 80s. Rest 100. Sinclair seems to stall at 100. With many guys (myself included) happy to trade suspect rookies for a 40k/50k hit makes me think this 50k saving may be worth it. Walsh is still a great mid to have in mids and open a link.
Just looking on Footywire at Total Price changes so far , Ben King sitting 7th with a $ 185,800.00 gain.
3 x 100's in his last 4 games
Currently
King + $ 185,800.00
Ratugolea + $ 166,100.00
Allen + $ 162,700.00
Daniels + $ 145,800.00
Pedlar + $ 119,100.00
+ $ 66,700.00 for Bruce before getting injured
On the other side the one we were all expecting big things from Toby McLean has dropped $ 3,000.00 on his starting price

Now here's a rookie to get more excited about, not sure how long he will need to get up to full fitness though..... Round 15 debut after Bombers rd 14 bye would fit perfectly
Scott also flagged 2022 Draft pick five Elijah Tsatas (AF $292k SC $189k MID) was on the comeback trail. Scott said: “Tsatas had a really good surgical review so he’ll join in full training today.”
