Yeah, I can't see Brockman getting dropped.
Brockman kicked 2 goals in a winning side and is a rookie.
I mean from a SuperCoach point of view with 22 points (ouch for me starting him on ground) he looks bad but from an AFL point of view, he kicked 2 goal in a winning side. Would be shocked if Brockman was dropped.

He might have kicked two goals, but he was pretty ordinary around the ground and made a number of glaring mistakes. It also looked like he's not that great at applying pressure (ie. going too hard and giving away frees or not applying any pressure at all) but it might have just been a solid dose of debutant nerves so we'll see how that is viewed at selection.
Given that the Swans and Hawks games are too far apart this weekend the above is probably the main reason why I'm going to sit on bringing Gulden in until next week. Hoping we'll get some clear indication of whether he is in or out of the starting 22 before that, but it's not likely at this stage.
Also considering holding him as a looping candidate even if he is dropped, as the Hawks play their next 5 games on Sunday which would be useful (but I'd need to find another way to Gulden then).

Have no loops at the moment (Excluding Danger)
Am running
Highmore (Kosi and Sharp(E))
Dow and Gulden (Berry, Powell(E), Scott)
Flynn and Meek (Hunter)
Campbell and Rowe (Warner and Brockman)
Feel free to start any from my bench as they will likely go large. Considering Dow(E) and Cripps(VC), and if both succeed, will keep Danger and C him

Nah I wouldn’t be doing that at this stage I don’t think. Be happy with having all your rookies playing, back yourself to select a correct C this week and the right on field rookie. Unless say Grundy tonight as an example went 200 and you wanted to lock that in as VC, then maybe I’d consider. But otherwise, I don’t think it’s worth the trade for maybe a 20 point game on a rookie loop, removing a 40 score for a 60 say.
See where your side at is after another week and how the rookies fall coming into Round 3 as a few experienced players start to come back from injuries picked up in the preseason.
