Strategy 2023: Rookies Discussion

[Santoz]

Patrick Voss doing some nice things for the Dons here. Maybe not a starter, but a downgrade option in time.

Turn it upside down

Or pivot it 180 degrees ....

I was thinking flipping it around its vertical centre line, like his name.

If it eight itself on the horizontal it would be nothing, null, an o.

I thought Josh Bruce played well in the intraclub, although playing in the B side defence. What are his chances of securing a spot in round 1?

Some feedback was he didn't play that well, so maybe a risk if split views.

Sounds like him and Rachelle are forming a 1-2 tag team, hopefully that spells good things for the future.

Per the stats here: https://supercoachscores.com/threads/2023-preseason-games.5053/page-26#post-957795

McVee (62 DT) and Chandler (56 DT plus 2 score assists) were decent (not taking into tackles)

Van Rooyan scored 9DT lol

Has anyone see a list of SuperCoach scoring averages for last years draftees? Ie what they scored in under 18s, reserves seniors NAB cup etc?
I’m in a keeper league so want to make sure I’m looking at more than just AFL fantasy averages and draft position.

Some are posted within the HS articles that Shannon has posted in our HS thread. Apart from that, they are harder to get a hold of these days compared to when we had the prospectus.

Actually, they may be on the HS Rookie Hub that I saw advertised last week, but unsure if that includes any more than what’s in the articles posted.

Thanks mate, I had seen some scores for the more prominent rookie picks for this year and was sure I hadn’t seen the same for those we might not see play seniors this year. Didn’t realise Tsatas and Philippou were that high!

Jye Menzie

Not much point in HS giving us his sub-affected AFL games. I'd be interested in his VFL SC numbers - he had a few 90+ Fantasy scores in the VFL near the end of the season. He may be a better rookie option than people think.

With 3 weeks to go I wanted to ask which rookies are people feeling confident will be named fro round 1? This is who I have in my side atm -

Ginbey - OG
McKenna (rookie priced) - OG
Wilmot - OG
Chesser - B
Constable - B
Ashcroft - OG
Phillips - B
Hollands - B
E Hewett - B
Sheezel - OG
Phillipou - B
F Greene - B

I'm feeling confident that most of these players are a chance to play round 1 (hoping so with fingers crossed).

I also think the following are a chance - McAndrew, Ratugolea, O Baker, B King, Humphreys, Goater, Combden, Menzie & Cincotta (I liked MacKenzie from Hawks but unsure atm?)

I have a few higher priced rookies as I think they are more likely to play round 1 over the $124k or less mid/forward rookies players

Thoughts?

Mackenzie should be right to play tomorrow, doubt he plays Rd 1 if he misses that match too (shouldn't if it was just a corkie).

Apparently playing and given Hawks last week, you would think round 1 likely.

Why are people so confident in McKenna?

Taking 2 years off and just waltzing straight into the backline of a top 4 team is a big task - it's not like he was exactly a star of the comp to begin with.

Why would he bother moving back to Australia from Ireland and signing a one year deal just to play in the VFL?
