Sure, and 1, 2, 4, 5 are all Mid eligible. I didn't say they are clearly outscoring them (though they are) - but rather what I was saying is that they are "better", for want of a better word. There is more of an abundance of midfield rookies, and they are the must-haves.
Wash, Constable, Scott looked like locks in pre-season (still are probably). Duursma looks like a must. I think Atkins will improve, LDU has started great and Cousins will probably pay off.
The only pure Forward rookie worth having is Parker, and I think his average will slide back over the next few round.s
Setterfield/Drew are obviously M/F so everyone has picked them forward - because, to the crux of my point - there are more midfield rookies available than forwards. It's not even up for debate...

Fair enough must have misread clearly in your original post to being better ?
Didn't include Cousins as he is more expensive than Walsh.
Let's hope they all continue to play enough games and score well to make some $$$ , and don't get dropped after 3-5 games.
With all those options a all rookie midfield might have been viable.
Anyway , enjoy Vietnam

Geelong are a family-friendly-community orientated club, who want to involve as many people as possible in sharing our passion for Aussie rules football. But more importantly, we understand our responsibility to the Supercoach community to serve up numerous cheap, well scoring rookies with solid job security, year after year. Quite frankly, it's a responsibility most other clubs just don't seem to take seriously at all 
Remember this when the time comes to buy your first child or grandchild their very first AFL team beanie or jumper.
Lead by example, make the right decision and choose the blue and white hoops! You won't be disappointed!

Thanks mate. Is it a JS or a scoring concern that you would have?
They seem to be the next best cash cows I don’t have once I bring in Duursma ... although if they’re not worth a trade/are likely to be dropped, I can either save a trade or consider a non-rookie trade (potentially involving Dusty) this week.

Miers has surprised and improved a fair bit playing the half forward pressure role, could be under pressure in a couple of weeks when Fogarty comes back from injury. Shultz is a similar type, believe he's mature age and possibly in the side to cover for Ballantyne. If I were to pick and had to as a replacement I'd go Miers.
Thanks @Professor and @Ben's Beasts ... sounds like potential concerns on both fronts!
I think Schultz looks a bit more interesting in DT but will likely skip both in SC now ... which for better or worse means I can consider more sideways/correction trades to my non rookies ?
