Discussion SC 2021: Rookie Discussion
- Thread starter Brettthejett
- Start date
He had a couple of early clangers when the game was on the line and could never recover combined with Sydney being too dominant for there to be enough supply, same story as round 1 really only round 1 he was great in Q1 and then got some attention from Brisbane.
Going to be a bit of a rollercoaster with him because Dawson and Lloyd are both also strong rebounding options but the team still looks for him and he is still taking a few kick-ins.
If you can loop him this week you may as well with the first game but otherwise I think his ceiling is better than just about any other rookie so he should start.
Played as the space holding wing so his map looks spot on. He was really good in the role as well.

Thanks for the info, really helpful.
Two options really with him for this week: I can loop him in the mids or I can run him F6, possibly without a loop (pending Bergman being in the 22/23 grr I hate subs).
Will probably go for F6 and loop Scott instead - feels a safer bet than forward bench with an E only to find that Bergman and Rowe are both playing.

Despite his dropped mark running back to an open goal I don't think he was that bad, definitely not as bad as his score reflects.
First half had terrible delivery, the mids kept kicking it over his head trying to have a shot at goal.
When he had the chance thought he competed well and took some good contested marks.
I would think Brockman is more likely to lose his place before Kosi (not similar players) but he had some costly fumbles.

Tigers unleashing at least two debutants
https://www.foxsports.com.au/afl/af...s/news-story/8e11793f91b85e8b9eba4f4bedc705a7
RICHMOND has confirmed defender Rhyan Mansell and midfielder Will Martyn will make their AFL debuts on Friday night against Port Adelaide.
Mansell has come from the clouds to make his debut, with the 20-year-old the last addition to Richmond’s list (during the Supplementary Selection Period), coming via the SANFL.
A Woodville West Torrens premiership player, Mansell had been training with the club since January 7 before he was eventually signed on.
Martyn captained Brisbane’s academy side in 2019 and has been pushing for a senior berth for some time, having been taken with Pick 44 in the 2019 draft.
With premiership players Dion Prestia (hamstring) and Kamdyn McIntosh (concussion) both forced outs, Richmond coach Damien Hardwick flagged to reporters on Wednesday there’d be at least one debutant for the preliminary final rematch.
Martyn, along with Riley Collier-Dawkins, have been on the Tigers’ list since being drafted in 2018 and 2019 respectively but haven’t cracked the senior side amid tough internal competition for spots.
Both midfielders had excellent pre-seasons. Collier-Dawkins was a shining light in a Richmond intra-club clash before copping a headknock, while Martyn impressed in a scratch match against Melbourne at Casey Fields.

“We’ve got some personnel that will miss games, but it’s a great opportunity for some players to grow into some roles – and that’s really exciting for us,” Hardwick said.
“It certainly reinvigorates the coaching group and I’ve got no doubt it’ll reinvigorate our playing group as well to give some young guys some opportunities.
“There’s a couple of guys (in the mix), we’re working through that at the moment. There’ll be at least one debutant, possibly two, which will be exciting for our fans to see.”
Hardwick added if veteran defender Bachar Houli emerged from Wednesday’s training session unscathed, he’d face Port Adelaide in what would be his first game of 2021 after a summer plagued by the calf injury he sustained in last year’s Grand Final.
