Got 4 right now (Lloyd, Laird, Daniels and Mills), would simply ditch Dunkley up forward and go with 5 rookies there. Ziebell, Daniher and Impey are such strong JS/Scoring potential rookies that I'm just not worried about finding 4 traditional rookies to go with them in what is a strong looking crop.

To be fair, my current setup is starting Flynn over Grundy but that would require one of Meek/Treacy being there at R3 I think or McEvoy convincing me he's worth picking as a defender.

I get how that structure would work up forward, but not sure how it would work in the midfield, I think you're leaving yourself vulnerable to an absence of cash generation if you're expecting all of these rookies to play well when we have a very big lack of data on them. I would not be counting on ones like Brockman, Perkins, Jordon, Berry and McNeil.

I'm more of the you take the best rookies and pick premiums around them type and you need at least two in the backs for the bench and I'm struggling to see them and I don't think they're likely to be good or good value if we get them.

I've got no issues with the forward or mid rookies right now. I've got a solid 8 that I think are all genuine on-field level rookies, admittedly most aren't cheap and at it's most aggressive I'd only need 8 of them, maybe 9 if I went for Grundy over a midfielder. I think Rowe and Gulden are both looking very strong bench options as well.

Not worried at all about cash generation to be honest except for from the defenders, I might even be forced into taking a donut at D8 :LOL:

When did Waterman last play for West Coast?

Any chance he won't be 102k?

Desperately need him to be 102k

Paul Hunter the new Saint was on the list at the Crows for a few years, never played, and is $102K.
I'll eat a hat if he wasn't listed at $102K.

I almost hope he is priced slightly higher now just to see this hat eating. I'm sure you will follow through. ;)

(Fairly sure you won't need to worry - he should be $102K).

0-1 premo fwd is the go this year. All the defender rookies failed last week, except ling and cox showed some signs. Bar drastic change within the next 2 weeks it’s looking rough. We need the forwards to make money, there’s about 5 in the 260-180 range who have strong-moderate Js and then we should get rowe and h.jones. Mid rookies still up in the air. Once Macrae, berry and Powell get a go I suspect they’ll stay in.
