I'm not sure Oliver's a good option this late in an injury riddled season. What she been out for now? 5 weeks? Most teams don't have too many trades left

Any thoughts on the right order for these (or other) rookie priced players that are on (or past) the bubble?

Sheldrick
Hewett
Harrison

vs. say waiting another week on Fletcher, Lohmann, or another one etc.

Ideally they'd play a bit, more as back-up than a money maker.

I could also go to Deven Robinson, but would need SMitchell and JVR to collectively rise about 50k...

At this point in the year with teams almost finished, you want job security more than anything.

Sheldrick was great, but played 55% TOG so his tank is probably a bit suspect. Mills is also waiting in the wings to come back and when Sydney is healthy, I imagine he's going straight to the centre bounce as McCartin is also a test to come back.

Hewett looked decent in the short time we got to see him before JDG sent him straight to the moon. If WCE continue to have injury problems, should have no problem playing I'd imagine but who knows.

Harrison might be a victim of the unfortunate luxury that a really good team brings and that's usually that rookies don't always last too long.

I'd say your order is pretty spot on though.

Am I the only one who still thinks Titch is Shane Edwards?
Mitchell has really jumped the last few weeks with de goey out. Not that he was poor before, in fact he was an incredibly consistent 100-110, but I wouldn't expect his recent output to be sustained.
Serong has the bum ankle, but has shown a higher ceiling this season.
Mitchell seems the safer option, but I think serong makes more points if you tolerate the risk.

Had the same decision this week and choosing Titch.

He clearly performs better when JDG is out of the team or not playing well. He has 2 weeks left of his suspension so should see good scores this week and next. After that he likely drops off, but he has been very consistent apart from that 64 in round 4. He also has previous premium scoring history unlike Serong.

Serong has been great this year until the last 3 weeks which I think is largely due to Darcy not being there. He’ll go around 105-110 from here is my guess, similar to what I expect from Titch. The main issue for me is that ankle issue he’s been dealing with. Feels like I’d be taking on an unnecessary risk. This also probably played a part in the drop-off in his last 3. Also doesn’t have that premium scoring history that Titch does have.

Serong could very easily outscore Titch from here but the ankle concern and scoring history made me go Titch.

Yeo & Maric
vs
Windhager & Sheldrick + 108K
Not sure I'd want to rely on either combo. As Yeo is one mentioned, I assume one player will be on field. Yeo combo based on that, but you may need to save a trade or two for him breaking down.
Would prefer someone from one of the other 17 clubs, Maric possibly just ahead, as not coming back from injury.

No idea on JS, pretty sure Windhager was dropped earlier in the year. I'd back in Sheldrick, but as mentioned no idea really.
