Prospectus write ups on the following rookies

• Jack Ross: Recorded 25 disposals or more in five of his final six games in the TAC Cup (where he averaged 97SC). Rated above average for disposals and elite for disposal efficiency and kicking efficiency. Was 7th in clearances in the TAC Cup and won the B&F for the Oakleigh Chargers.
• Lachlan Young: Averaged 62 Champion Data points (pretty sure this means SC) in the VFL last year and 13.3 disposals. In each of his 3 seasons of TAC Cup, he has averaged ~13 disposals and between 66-68 CD points. Averaged 4.4 Intercept Possessions in the VFL last season.

Hore pretty clearly I would have thought.

Hore pretty clearly I would have thought.

Do you see Lockhart effecting his game?

Do you see Lockhart effecting his game?

I am no dees expert but the bits of Lockhart I saw he was playing the pressure forward role. I assume he played def in vfl last year (given his d/f) so could be used to fill jetta's role I guess but don't see why that would steal points from hore.

I thought hore was really composed last week in a tough loss. Lots of his points came from those easy marks as they try to work the ball out of defence, as well as a couple of nice intercept marks. No rookie score are guaranteed but it's a good role and he's playing it well.

Interesting comment here. Answerth Def/Mid 117k might be the answer to our issues. I’m going to let Lockhart go now and just wait for the teams so I can set up my side better in the next few weeks.

Really not much I could find on Lockhart... VFL stats are here. I was curious, so I calculated his DT stats. He averaged 69DT for the year (including finals) and averaged 83 from his last 11 games (including finals). Had 4 BOGs and was named in the bests 10 times out of 21 games.

I did the same with Baker. He went at 14/79 for the year. He was in the best 4 times.

I think we will see him and McLennan (GCS) debut in the next few rounds.

Answerth to link with Duursma could be handy.

Expect Corbett to debut soon so the next wave of rookies will appear all in good timing to provide downgrade options.

I might just ride out Burgess & Bines at D8 & F8 for as long as I can.

Answerth 117k DEF/MID: Is 19 years old after being overlooked in the 2017 draft (due to missing the year with injury). Captained the Oakleigh Chargers in the TAC cup and ranked in the top two as a defender for CPs and ground ball gets, averaged 72DT and 99SC. Played in the midfield in his final 3 games, averaging 24 disposals and 5 clearances. In the U18C, played more as a shutdown defender, however, still was no.1 for CPs, averaging 58DT and 80SC.

Seems to be a decent prospect for SC due to having a good DT/SC ratio.

Hately dropped o-O

This is going to make missing Ross a nightmare.

Ross won’t be that much more expensive than Hately after this round. Not ideal for those with Hately plans but worth some thought I would say.

Ross will be $190k I reckon

Larkey, interested, nice debut
Corbett,
Noah,

Rookies be appearing everywhere

 

[jaca]

Lachlan Young at WBD. Def. $120k, BE -24.

Not a great scorer, but a def rookie.

Prefer Answerth a week early. If Andrews and Answerth are both named this week I think i’ll trade in Answerth.

 

[BlueNwhiteHoops]

Larkey scored a 75 off of 3 goals, that is always a concerning type of number.

Answerth can't have replaced Andrews, he's only 182cm. I'm probably going early on him as well

 

[OzRulesFootball]

No new rookies for me this week. Traded in Hayes a week early and will let a few of my other first generation rookies I started with have another week or two before milking. I saying goodbye to Sam Walsh though. Super effort kid. Done your job and now milking you for an upgrade.

Yeah, I’d look elsewhere - his prospectus write up is on the previous page. Doesn’t look like he has good scoring potential.

Larkey and Answerth look like almost must have downgrade targets next round if they back up.
