Rookie Stocktake
This season we have very little info to use with regards to which rookies are most likely to play round 1. We obviously have just one game for each team during the AAMI Community Series.
I believe the rookie priced players priced $207,300 and below that have the greatest chance of playing round 1 are the players who played at least 50% TOG in their Community Series match. So here is a list below which shows their position, price and their SC score in brackets.
Made some notes where I saw it necessary.
DEF
J Koschitzke $123,900 (130)
J Butts $176,800 (70)
T Highmore* $117,300 (47) Replaced the injured Frawley and is a chance for round 1
N Jetta $186,300 (43)
N Murray $102,400 (39)
DEF/MID
H Sharp* $117,300 (52) 45% TOG but replaced the injured Rayner and is a chance for round 1
L Young $202,000 (50)
DEF/FWD
N Cox $175,800 (32)
K Briggs* $123,900 (81) May miss round 1 if Flynn is fit
MID
E Gulden $117,300 (77)
T Bruhn $157,800 (62)
T Powell $153,300 (57)
T Downie $117,300 (40)
J Jordon $123,900 (37)
L Bramble $102,400 (29)
MID/FWD
B Campbell $189,300 (85)
T Brockman $117,300 (80)
A Scott $102,400 (79)
P Dow $202,400 (54)
J Bowey* $117,300 (31) Replaced the injured Lockhart and although he had more than 50% TOG, he's unlikely for round 1

I'm thinking about picking Bruhn if he's named in round one instead of Campbell to free up some cash. I'm not entirely convinced Campbell is worth paying 189k for and I've been burned in the past when picking expensive mids who don't get midfield time. He scored 85 in SC versus 57 in DT despite playing a relatively DT friendly game, which strikes me as somewhat unsustainable. 4 goals from Bruhn is also unsustainable (completely, in fact) , but I am attracted to his cheaper price and liked what I saw and he could win more disposals in an other game.
That extra bit of money combined with downgrading Macrae to Bont allows me to turn Taranto into Dusty at M6, which just makes my whole side safer.

Who has the better JS?
Leon Cameron the last couple of years has dropped rookies despite them playing decently, I couldn't trust him myself.
Then you read comments like this on Campbell :-
“We like what Braeden can deliver off half-back and through the midfield, just because of his kicking,” John Longmire said recently. Co-captain Josh Kennedy was just as excited about the draftee, saying on Melbourne radio that Campbell will “have a pretty immediate impact either in the midfield or half-forward/half-back”.
Along with reading training reports stating that in game simulations the swans players were trying to give the ball to Campbell at every opportunity/ he was playing almost a quarterback type role .... I know which rookie I prefer
