Discussion 2022: Rookie Discussion

[Borris]

I’m not putting to much attention which rookies I pick, just making sure I have a good spread of rookies prices. So I can switch if I need to. Almost impossible to pick which cheap rookies score the most and JS has so many variables.

This.

I just switched Dixon > Martin and Soligo > Owen based on... basically nothing but the direction the wind is blowing.

Leaving it like that and will no doubt need to correct some of them ahead of Rd3

Just about how I do it as well

If Hough was playing tonight would we be getting him in?
It’s the only thing factoring in me going owens, if the games were swapped I’d probably want Hough lol

Still torn

It’s a bit like Martin vs Dixon for f8

@LITS thoughts? Every suggestion has been Jack Darling out for 4 weeks, however, if Oscar Allen back in next 1-2 weeks, does Dixon likely go out. Would Waterman be preferred as 3rd tall. Value of Dixon does remain a DPP swap with Hayes.

Who is a fwd rookie who is NOT named but expected to play games early?

 

[Athomas]

Who is a fwd rookie who is NOT named but expected to play games early?

Skinner is DEF/FWD and EMG for Port. Would have to hope he's not sub.

That being said, not sure he will be getting games early... but he's EMG so at least potentially close.

On standby for Finlayson , they flew 5 emergencies as well

Elijah Holland at GC is the pick of them for mine by a decent margin, elite prospect.

 

[Spiny Norman]

Better JS Soligo or Mead?

DGB is interesting with no Hartigan. Could be a 3rd tall, Weitering type SC year.

 

[Gruffles]

Soligo I would think.

I have Hayes R3. Is it worth getting Dixon in as an F8 so I can use Hayes as a F6/7 option in future weeks?

Goldy on Xerri as reported by @THCLT yesterday

Definitely considering it too, given it won't cost a trade.

I like my remaining forward rookies though (Rachele, Martin) so I'm tossing up MacDonald or Hough out for Dixon to set it up. Probably MacDonald given the dodgier JS?

 

[Blaze]

I did exactly this today

I think hayes as a potential F6 is worth the pick of Dixon over Martin.

....but i picked Owens so what do I know LOL

 

[jaca]

I have Brodie, Xerri and Rachele f5-7, so would probably go Hough to Dixon via Rachele. If Hough lights it up, I’ll need someone to replace Owens anyhow…

Looks too good to languish on the ruck bench I think. That F8 rookie spot is traditionally pretty low value so I think grabbing Dixon is more than viable in this case.

[Jedmonds10]

I know Horne Stephens Rachelle and Ward have good js

but with Rowell potential sp around which combo is best?

Rowell Ward/Rachelle/Stephens with Hough and Baldwin

Horne Ward Rachelle xerri

Rachelle Horne Ward Stephens 64k left over

 

[Zimmer]

Hinge, McCartin (Gibcus, SDK)
JHF, Daicos, Ward, (D.Stephens, MacDonald, NO'D)
Dixon
Brodie, Xerri, Rachelle, (Martin, Hayes)


So opinions on my rookie set up guys. Have I got the "Must Haves", have I got any "Probably nots", is NO'D a viable FD who will play at some point, or should I use his spot with someone I've overlooked.

Still dithering between Martin and Baldwin.

Thanks.
