Opinion 2022: Rookie Roulette

[Athomas]

Hinge v Gibus v Skinner
Almost annoyed I lost my loop in Skinner (SDK plays too early so is a loop in my forward line)

I'm leaning the unknown with Skinner

 

[Snowman]

Hinge Vs Gibcus (for onfield D6 spot.)

McGovern Vs McCartin for the E.

Hinge and McGovern

Is the suggestion that Skinner is playing Aliir’s role? If so, that sounds decent to me.

Not sure if Milera out has an impact for Hinge, but Sholl could be an o***et.

 

[Zimmer]

My choices this week:

M: D. Stephens v Ward v MacDonald v Rachelle
F: Brodie v Xerri v Hayes v Rachelle

Think I'll go with Rachelle in the mids and bench Ward... or potentially loop Rachelle or Stephens in the mids.

(The name Rachelle reminds me of the loner chick in high school who liked Metallica before they sold out - walked around in a Master of Puppets, T-Shirt.)

I can't be the only one pondering this, Ward vs D. Stephens?

I am. I think I'll loop Stephens and bench Ward if he goes ok.

I think thus is me too, see how Stephens goes with Owens and play Ward if needs be.

After McGoverns fail last night I will be running all of Rachelle, Bridie, Xerri and Coniglio up FWD, lol

2 starters from Hinge Gibcus Sinn

 

[kadog]

It's so hard... I've got to start 2 from Hinge, Gibcus, Skinner myself.

I'm going Hinge as one, only because it gives me some flexibility to play all 3 if Whitfield/Short were out. If I benched Hinge over the others, it's a certain 0 (or trade boost etc)

Only logic I could land on. Would still have to make a decision on Gibcus vs Skinner (or Sinn in your case) tomorrow.

EDIT: Realised Port play Saturday as well. So I would pick Hinge and Sinn, so that you have some flexibility with Gibcus on Sunday if needed.

Cheers. If Whitfield were to be a late out I’m in trouble (donut) because I’m playing DeKoning as my vc loop.

Could use Owen in the mids (vc loop) but it’d be tied exclusively to DStephens tonight. Was using that play for the best of DStephens/Ward.

 

[Feerits Elf]

If Whitfield were to be a late out I’m in trouble.

Why would Whitfield particularly be a late out?

Or do you just mean in the context of GWS playing on the Sunday afternoon?

Yep I realised my post only made sense if you had SDK as a loop on field, which I do (and you do too!)

For those without SDK as a loop, they could decide on the best 2 out of 3 to play without worrying about any Sunday late outs, as they would just have the player as emergency.

In the event of a Whitfield out, we could switch the Hayes R3 emergency to Gibcus for cover (both emergency defenders would count)?

Yes both would count.

However don't know if you realise this. Richmond actually plays against GWS, so instead you could just swap Whitfield and Gibcus in case Whitfield is a late out. So you aren't actually screwed at all.

So I would just keep the E on Sinn. And use your other E on another line as normal.

There was some rumors floating around that he had some type of injury. Think he’ll be fine but I don’t want to get caught with my pants down in the event it happens and have a donut because I’m looping SDK.

Geez I’m a blind kent! So obvious but didn’t see it because I’m overthinking it. Thanks.

 

[Under The Dome]

Not exactly rookies but Xerri vs Brodie for F6?

Unsure atm on teams but have until Sunday to decide.

Xerri ruck share and plays Nicnat with potentially a decent midfield (If none are the covid outs)
Brodie up against the Saints in the last game and a low TOG player.

Xerri for all the reasons you stated and Brodie officially only on I/C

 

[BigRuss]

Hinge V McCartin close this week. Anyone feel strongly one way or another and care to weigh in?

 

[Rumbler]

Take Stephens' 95ish or field Ward?

 

[Shannon]

Take Stephens every day of the week …
