2015: Rookies

[PC]

Thanks IDIG - interesting they are not discussing Lang. Hopefully that means he will be a mid season downgrade target...

Ben Lennon not picked for Richmond. Good news for McIntosh/Lambert.

 

[Grant]

A rookie defender! Does anyone know much about him?

Probably the third ranked Irishman on Carlton's list behind Tuohy and Sheehan.

 

[Goodie's Guns]

He scored 37, 59, 72 in the NAB Challange for an average of 56.

Not the worst, presume he is a sub candidate.

@FantasyFreako: Ciaran Byrne has been promoted to the senior list. A chance to play vs Tigers. #SuperCoach #AFLFantasy

oh, cool, this is what I been hanging out for.

If he did get a game Oz, what would his JS going forward be??

Lang wouldn't be a debutante of course - he played 1 game in 2014 - perhaps that's why he didn't get a mention. I would say Lang plays a similar position to Gregson, so maybe he starts and Gregson gets the vest?

Um bit of a left field rookie pick which it seems no-body is mentioning.
Jaden McGrath FWD $117K

He played all 3 NAB which is decent considering Brisbane sided a near full strength team each week.
Nothing too exciting
SC av TOG/Av Sc/TOG
43.67 0.63 69.3

Very similar to Celeb Daniel

In the draw Vs Gold Coast he scored 57 from 58% TOG.
One to look out for a downgrade that hasn't been mentioned.

That is the good question.....lol
At the moment I am thinking he is playing because Sheahan was overcoming some minor injury, however, I will say he looked impressive enough that he good just stay in the team if he performs well again. I feel his JS is better than someone like McIntosh and Hamling as a comparison but none of them we can guarantee will play 6 to 12 games in a row which is what we want from our cash cows. I feel Saad has better JS at Gold Coast than all of them.

Great find. Did you have inside mail?

 

[dicksilverman]

McGrath will likely be vested. Like what I've seen already tho.

 

[Johnsy44]

best rookie defenders?

 

[IDIG]

best rookie defenders?

It'll be in this thread somewhere but Brown, Hamling, Saad, McIntosh would be the main ones i think.

Can someone with the prospectus tell us what it says about Clem Smith?

awesome. he may get vest though

 

[jaca]

Good stuff on Heeney!

Are we best to pick the likes of Clem Smith over Lambert? I guess we can always downgrade to Lambert if it all goes wrong?!
