Discussion SC 2021: Rookie Discussion

Downie is looking a bit unlikely, so having McNeil on the mid bench is a nice out.
But I just have so many memories of getting stuck with Dogs rookies that do basically nothing - either scoring so low as to be ineffective or getting dropped after 2-3 games (Ben Cavarra, Will Hayes, Ryan Gardner, Bailey Dale anybody?).
Might even stick with Downie as a DTP if I don't take one in defence

ROOKIE midfielder James Jordon will make his AFL debut against Fremantle on Saturday at the MCG.
The 22-year-old was told of the news following Melbourne’s training session at Casey Fields on Wednesday.
“It’s obviously very exciting. I am just over the moon that I will be able to go out there this weekend with a great group of boys and hopefully get the win,” Jordon told Melbourne Media.

It's a very decent chance. He's a good un.
Lachie McNeil is basically Tanner Bruhn with a 60k discount.
Added bonus of being a slightly mature ager with senior footy behind him who played last year.
Will play as a small forward as he has all preseason, will score accordingly. Genuine pocket role though did have a few stints higher up the ground once it was over against Melbourne but think he's going to be a real slow burn.
I don't see a lot of pressure for spots but it's a very tough role and the most fringe position so could fall out very quickly. Weightman, Cavara, Bedendo and Hannan all strike me as potential competition who didn't or barely played in preseason. Treloar is going to push someone out as well, have to assume it's West if McNeil hung on.
Lachlan McNeil.
I know nothing about this guy, what role does he play and do you have any idea who is his competition is or if anyone is due back soon who is likely to push him out?
I need to go fishing asap for info on this guy and you're my first pit stop lol!
