Discussion Rookie Roulette!

[Beijing_Sting]

Townsend vs. Aarts ?

But what about Buda v Aarts?

I'm going to go alphabetically

I'd be going Aarts in your scenario.

I'm going with Aarts for this one.

Bennell vs Pickett?

 

[Connoisseur]

Assuming Serong does not go backwards in the last.

M Pickett VS H Bennell for M8

8/900 with the last quarter from Ryan,Serong and King to come and C Taylor the only other rookie left.

I think this is probably a 50-50, risk vs reward situation. Bennell more likely to hurt you both ways I think.

 

[Monya Meow Meow]

Will take Serong's 67 points for such a low TOG.
Last spot at M8, Buda or Mahony?

 

[Beijing_Sting]

I'm going with Aarts for this one.

Bennell vs Pickett?

I'm going alphabetically again... but also both ;-)

Looks like I'm taking Serong's 71 from my bench loop (Justin Longmuir is so bloody frustrating!!!).

One midfield spot left - Budarick, Hibberd or Pickett?

It is a roulette alright so Pickett would be my pick of the bunch.

 

[Crabby Skills]

Taylor on field, or Bennell? At first glance obviously it's safer to go Taylor, but:

Taylor might get creamed by solid Bombers defense, and Bennell has something to prove (kinda).

Aarts vs Taylor? Leaning towards aarts...

Personally I'd back Taylor's record. Think Aarts "only" averaged low 80s in the VFL, Taylor averaging fairly close to that from a decent sample of AFL games.

Yeh fair ended up choosing Aarts because Taylor relies on marks to score, the conditions at night at Metricon don’t favour him

Looking like a good call. Bit to play out yet but 16 at HT.

Fyfe is really good for looping!
E on Pickett and Fyfe will swap with Bennell if he has a good score.
Or should I put the E on Simpson tonight? Surely gotta back Simpson after last week.

 

[Grundogging]

With Noble in for a game that's likely to be played mostly at ground level should I go with him as the bench loop emergency or start him on ground (with Hill as bench loop emergency and Starcevich as fallback option)?

I think I'm going to loop Simpson.

 

[Juzzo]

Bennell v Budarick.

Thinking Bennell for no real reason.

Bennell v Budarick.

Bennell - more coaches will select, so H-2-H risk is less. Also has a scoring history (yet to be revisited).

Although will get to take a look at him and loop with rivers to access wither Picket or Bennell.

Townsend vs. Rankine vs. Aarts ?

Pick 2.
