I would be more exited if he was about 70K cheaper tbh 😜😂

189K for a rookie around the mid season point is a bit steep unless he looks exceptional.
Agree there @Shannon, hopefully we get some rookies in the mid season draft like Culley and Duke whom got games straight away and can be used for negotiating The bye periods…

No doubt, but compare him to the current rookies & he’ll absolutely look exceptional!
He put up some big numbers last year


Elijah Tsatas MID
SC Ave 2022: 149 (NAB League)

The breakaway speed and game-changing qualities of Tsatas will put him in the frame for senior action in his debut season at whichever club snaps him up the pointy-end of the draft. And his scores of 102, 154, 165, 126, 161 and 186 in an injury-interrupted NAB League season put him firmly on the KFC SuperCoach radar.”

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.
Good rookie performances in the VFL/WAFL/SANFL:
Deven Robertsen (202k MID, BRL) had 26 disposals (10 kicks), 2 marks, 4 tackles and 1.0 for 87AF. BE of 116.
James Madden (148k DEF,BRL) had 21 disposals (10 kicks), 3 marks and 2 tackles for 69AF.
Finlay Macrae (123k MID/FWD, COL) had 24 disposals (5 kicks), 2 marks and 6 tackles for 85AF.
Arlo Draper (123k DEF, COL) had 24 disposals (16 kicks), 5 marks, 6 tackles and 0.1 for 97AF.
Harvey Harrison (123k FWD, COL) had 20 disposals (10 kicks), 5 marks, 2 tackles and 3.0 for 91AF.
Cooper Murley (123k MID/FWD, COL) had 13 disposals (10 kicks), 6 marks, 5 tackles and 3.0 for 89AF.
Rhett Montgomerie (102k DEF, ESS) had 23 disposals (17 kicks), 6 marks and 9 tackles for 96AF.
Nick Bryan (200k RUC/FWD, ESS) had 20 disposals (15 kicks), 4 marks, 2 tackles and 29HO for 107AF.
Karl Worner (123k DEF/MID, FRE) had 36 disposals (21 kicks), 11 marks, 0 tackles and 1.0. Simply doesn't have a bad game.
Corey Wagner (117k DEF/MID, FRE) had 25 disposals (11 kicks), 5 marks and 2 tackles. Decent game, but can't see him back in the team any time soon.
Sam Sturt (148k FWD, FRE) had 24 disposals (11 kicks), 8 marks, 2 tackles and 2.2. Almost an identical stat line to last week. He needs these performances if he's any chance of returning. Couldn't even make the emergencies this week. Treacy and Amiss are starting to put together some good performances at AFL level and Fyfe coming back has really hurt him.
Tom Emmett (117k FWD, FRE) had 22 disposals (12 kicks), 5 marks, 10 tackles and 1.2.
Charlie Constable (123k DEF/MID, GCS) had 28 disposals (14 kicks), 5 marks and 6 tackles for 101AF. 6 tackles! He's getting better.
Bohdi Uwland (123k DEF/MID, GCS) had 22 disposals (19 kicks), 6 marks and 2 tackles for 91AF.
Harry Rowston (175k MID, GWS) had 33 disposals (20 kicks), 3 marks, 4 tackles and 1.1 for 104AF. Big game, after a few mediocre ones. Still not enough to break into the emergencies.
Josh Fahey (123k DEF/MID, GWS) had 26 disposals (20 kicks), 5 marks, 4 tackles and 0.1 for 102AF. He does it week in, week out. Debut looming.
Jason Gillbee (102k DEF/MID, GWS) had 20 disposals (12 kicks), 5 marks and no tackles for 68AF.
Wade Derksen (123k FWD, GWS) had 15 disposals (12 kicks), 7 marks, no tackles and 5.1 for 91AF.
George Wardlaw (193k MID, NTH) had 19 disposals (14 kicks), 2 marks, 5 tackles and 2.1 for 90AF. Debuting this week. Will be interesting to see how he goes.
Hugh Jackson (123k MID/FWD, PTA) had 24 disposals (15 kicks), 4 marks and 2 tackles for 81AF.
Angus Sheldrick (165k MID, SYD) had 36 disposals (16 kicks), 6 marks, 4 tackles and 1.0 for 130AF.
Corey Warner (123k MID/FWD, SYD) had 19 disposals (12 kicks), 3 marks and 3 tackles for 65AF.
Lachlan McAndrew (123k RUC/FWD, SYD) had 9 disposals (4 kicks), 3 marks, 2 tackles and 35HO for 75AF. Debuting this week. No JS to speak of though.
Zane Trew (175k MID/FWD, WCE) had 32 disposals (16 kicks), 5 marks and 3 tackles. On the bubble this week coming off scores of 41 and 20. Wouldn't touch him.

Byes for Carlton, Hawthorn and Melbourne.

Sorry for the late review.

Can any Port fans comment on whether Teakle is cooked now that Lycett is back?

I'd have hoped he'd make some more cash and cover Marshall in R12 but if he's done I'd rather a warm body and Madden back at R3.
Wish I had an answer but I don't ...
I am no Port Supporter! - with any team insights! Just a fragile Teackle owner

Lycett effort against Melb duo would suggests he would get several games, he was poor in SANFL until last weekend.

Appears there is no SANFL games this weekend so Teackle doesn't get to prove himself.

I wouldn't be trading to Madden. If you can, wait to R13 and if McAndrew for Sydney is playing I would go to him. He would have had two games plus his bye. Ladhams injured himself, who know what is going on with Hickey except they said they brought him back too early.

If we wait to R13, then atleast we have two rounds to see how Lycett goes, whether he injures himself or loses form again plus see if McAndrew could play (handy with Esava too) and maybe make $$.

re Lycett - he is a big body player so wet conditions helped him. He has Richmond and Hawks (restrictive) to come.

Be interesting to know what his JS looks like, thought he went ok but understand he's a depth player and wondering who he keeps out.
I raised this in another post. North have a number of injuries but several appear listed to be return in the next week or two including Zurhaar. That raised the chance of him getting dropped especially if he has a mediocre game.
