Discussion Rookie Discussion

Fremantle: “He moved really well today but he hasn’t taken part in contact drills yet. We hope to ramp that up on Friday. He’ll have to do everything right to be a chance (to play R2)” - Longmuir on Sturt Doesn’t sound to promising for Sturt and Round 2 #SuperCoach #RookieWatch

Sounds unlikely IMO.

Rankine - he has like 10 days to remain injury free, that's like 4 years in Rankine years

18 b4 his second game so 7 years =)

If they play him I wouldn't have confidence bringing him in without breaking down.

The thing I like most about this tweet is where it says ‘next Thursday’.

Not too long to go now ?

I'm guessing Coleman-Jones is no longer close to selection then...

Also that means one of Soldo or Nankervis.

Concede the ruck and have 4 mids waiting to shark the Grundy tap ? or the knock over the shoulder into open space

finally

EDIT

I should add for the centre square

15 trades rotating players to whoever has Richmond as opponent =)

Nankervis is still a reasonable ruck.

And Grigg will always be a premiership ruckman.

Pity the game is so "over coached" these days re structures and where to position yourself , some of the things you read about what Pickett (and others) can do at training , it would be nice to see them just "play" on natural ability and instinct from time to time.

Recruit firming for Magpie debut as doubt lingers over key forward
COLLINGWOOD recruit Darcy Cameron is firming for his club debut in next Thursday night's return clash with Richmond, as American tall Mason Cox continues to battle with a knee problem.

Wonder if this will impact Grundy at all.

Adding onto that I didn't know this from Round 1:
I suppose I can share this here, even though it was 10 weeks ago now and it's old news, but out of our round one game Brody Mihocek had suffered a partially collapsed lung and Darcy was the player that would have come in for him to play that exact role," Buckley said.

Hmm.. could be a good target in Rd 3-4 then..

I would rather pick K Pickett for 157k this round as I wouldn't touch Rankine with 10ft pole.

I take it you haven’t seen him play.

 

[Juzzo]

I take it you haven’t seen him play.

I remember @BigRuss saying he was the best rookie he had seen (or something similar).

 

[Kidult]

I take it you haven’t seen him play.

Yeh I have he is from my area, he can do special things but every so often. To me he is a high risk over Pickett with his constant injuries and I see Goldcoast playing in their own defensive half most games.

Save him to Round 7 - >

be nice to have some reasonable downgrade options , and make some meaningful $$$ out of our trades
