Discussion Rookie Roulette!

[OzRulesFootball]

It is time to go... Balta.
Not interested in holding onto him if he cannot keep in side even after Rance injured
He might come back, but not going to wait around to find out.

Constable

Cats at home in Geelong this week. Think I'll field him, even though Melbourne should bounce back. He scored well in a super-competitive game last week at the MCG.

 

[Nest]

Collins or Burgess? Both in defence.

@Lost In The Sky Who's position is Oscar Allen keeping warm mate? Liked the look of him last week in a forward line that didn't get a lot of opportunity.

Cripps and Rioli are the 2 who have to come back in. Cripps is very likely for next week, Rioli we are not sure of yet as he was getting another scan on his foot as the injury report was released... word is he has a hotspot but not stress fractures in his foot, so will need to be managed. So he's likely out for a few weeks.

I think it comes down to one of Allen or Petruccelle to hold that vacant LeCras forward spot, I think Allen needs to be given every opportunity, he has real star qualities about him, the only question is does it leave us too tall down forward with JK, Darling and a resting ruck.

Keep in mind though Allen can play in defence if needed and has done a lot of training with the mids as well, as he was a tall midfielder as a junior. So that versatility is quite often very valuable if anything occurs during a match. Probably gives him the edge over Petruccelle.

Beauty mate, much appreciated as always, as I said I quite liked the look of him. Likely Hore replacement for me next week if he can hold his form over the weekend.

@Lost In The Sky love how much you know about WCE mate. So helpful!

The Back rookies pick themselves, (because they are mostly rubbish) as do most of the forwards, (other than Parker, but I'd have to field him over Setterfield or Drew).

The Mid is where I'm struggling. Three to field out of:

Cousins, Walsh, Butters, Constable, Scott, Atkins.

I’m now likely to go Walsh, Constable and Ascott.

Probably Cousins and probably not Atkins. Maybe Walsh and Constable join him. I know what you mean though. A bit of a lottery!

Yeah, probably scratch Atkins from the list straight away. So its really 3 from 5.

Constable, Scott, Cousins, is how I think I'll go. Still another night to stuff around with it though.

It's not a bad problem to have Round 2, even though I left around 100 rookie points on the bench last week.

Cousins, Walsh & Constable or Scott as the 3rd....Butters & Atkins on the bench, it's a crap-shoot but that's the way i'd go.

Clark outscored Walsh & was equal with Setterfield.

Are you trading out Walsh soon ?

Not trading Herb, just working out which rookies to put on the field this week. No trades for me this week.

Edit: Just looking at it I think I'll back my two most expensive rookies in, and Constable. So Cousins, Walsh and Constable. As good an approach as any.

Easy for me I have 3 not playing & 3 ordinary ones (so far) , will give Walsh another chance

I'll just leave these RDT scores here:



For those with Walsh (most) and Cousins (some), the good scores are coming.

last week had E on Walsh. This week just starting on field. I trust him already.

Field Setterfield vs Drew? I thought Setterfield played a good game last week, cannot comment on Drew.
