Discussion Rookie Roulette!

[Darkie]

Hope you put Hore on the ground. I'd say Duursma and Collins (against the Blues)

Setterfield has to come right at some point, but I don't really know a lot about Petrucelle's role.

I've got to choose three out of Rozee, Duursma, Clark, Collins, Scrimshaw.

After last week I'll field Rozee. So the other two?

Sounds like you should be leaning towards Duursma and Collins?

I’d include Duursma and the rest look very even on averages and it’s a matter of picking who you think could do well this week/your risk appetite (Collins then Scrimshaw then Clark for upside). I’d probably back Collins as well, and will make that change to my own side now.

DEF: Duursma and Collins on field over Clark and Scrimshaw.

MID: Can loop with Scott so it’s Walsh, Butters and Stack on field with Constable (e). If Constable goes 75+ then I’ll bench Stack.

FWD: Drew and Parker on field over Setterfield and Balta.

Gone with Setterfield on-field over Drew. Parker on-field too.

Seems more likely to be given freedom to play his natural role v a younger team, rather than a "learning" defensive mid role like he got v Richmond/Port/Sydney.

Not that the Blues will take any team lightly - but I do think young players tend to get more opportunity when playing other young sides.

Just last year v the Suns (2nd time), Dow, Lang, Kennedy, and SPS all had one of their better games for the year.

Need to play 2 of Drew/Setters/Parker

Which 2?

I've gone Setters over Drew also, but with absolutely no confidence.

We fairly sure that Bailey Scott wont be a late in...?

I'd back in Drew and Parker. Law of averages sometimes not the worst indicator to follow. Both have shown good ceilings.

He's the game day emergency so is a chance to be a late in.

Thank you so much. Not worth the risk. I'll just roll with Constable.

Thanks mate

Just took Jordan Clark off and put Sam Collins on the field... watch Clark absolutely smash it now!

 

[Grundogging]

I'm facing a vc-looped Grundy in both leagues and I'm lagging a little behind so I'm going to need every single point I can scrape together.

I've got a choice between Scrimshaw and Collins down back and Parker, Setterfield and Burgess up forward. Currently have Collins and Parker in but I'm leaning towards Setterfield now - which way should I go?

In that case, I would do the opposite of what I expected my opponent to do. And I'd try to do it at the last minute.

Seeing as Balta decreased in value, I think he's already peaked

I traded him out in SC and DT, I feel like that’s something I won’t regret. Surely he loses his spot before Stack or Ross.

Might be the worst playing rookie ever.

I still think they need him to help Nankervis.

Gave away a 50 and 3/4 free kicks , but also did a few nice things , raw as hell , but can see him scoring some 50-70's

It’s a fair point - maybe they try someone else in that role?

For overall impact it would be hard to see someone doing (scoring) worse. Not sure who is available/how that influencers their structure though.

Can't see Nank surviving the season rucking 100% of the time , Jack comes back with a broken wrist , Lynch with his knees , maybe Caddy or McIntosh can do the job , don't know much about Soldo.

Just start 4 mids at the CB and don't contest at all ?

As bad as his SC was I actually thought he showed some signs.
