Discussion Rookie Discussion

[Courtesans]

Isn't it nice to check the teams on a Thursday night and see rookies here, rookies there, rookies waiting to fatten up everywhere!

Is Hately the must have downgrade of the week?

For me, yes. 80k profit, can seriously play. Coniglio out for a week or so, particularly if you have him as I do, gives him the chance.

If half of the above debut and/or plays through the MBRs then we should be OK as most will be looking for around 5 or 6 downgrades in order to complete their teams.

If Frampton knocks out a couple of good scores, be interesting what to do with O’Brien.

Darcy Fort would be even better at 74k cheaper!

Thinking the same here.

Atley is another good one if he can get off to a good start - kid can play just needs to have body hold up.

 

[Professor]

Didn't look good during JLT, hopefully he's got some continuity at afl level

Dixon due back Round 13.

 

[Darkie]

Dixon due back Round 13.

Just the right time to ensure Westhoff owners don’t slingshot him out of their sides!

 

[Herbie66]

Just the right time to ensure Westhoff owners don’t slingshot him out of their sides!

He and Darling are in my side as F5&F6 for the duration now unless I get one to F7.

Maybe Ken slingshots him out of the side for Dixon , then we owners could be stuffed ?

 

[toxic]

I'm looking for that Silver bullet so go away you!

Rowbottoms last 2 neafl games have been a outstanding.

A solid game this week and he'll hold his spot hopefully

What is Marsh's JS like? I'm seriously considering bringing him in this round...

 

[whiteTiga2k]

Great to see the flood of rookies. There is downgrading hope!

 

[Ben's Beasts]

Really looking forward to having 16 extra rookie priced players available one week from now. Hopefully most of them play during the byes.

I’ve worked out my trading plans from now until the byes and I really need a DEF/MID option to appear. Hopefully one or more of these mid-season draft picks can accommodate.

how many of them realistically are going to be ready to go and jump straight into AFL ? may need time to get up to training standards, game plans etc etc.................clubs may look at them with more of playing potentially next season

Hopefully a few of them. I reckon some of the clubs will be drafting them with the view of playing them straight away to fill a need for the team due to injuries to key personnel.

hopefully you are right, big expectations I think that they will step straight into AFL though, Barlow was on Game Day yesterday and was only hopeful of getting drafted.

Be interesting how it all pans out.

Interesting to see what happens to all the other players prices when they add the new players though, I am sure the Total Player cost remains the same all season so theoretically every other player should lose $$$

Said all along he would come good , oozes ability and athleticism , Hardwick certainly did the right thing by continuing to play him and give him the confidence.

Pity I traded him out when I got ROB & Mummy
