Strategy 2023: Rookies Discussion

Yep, I'm as nervous as a long tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs starting those 2 you mentioned.
Bail out options for me are pretty limited though, McKenna could go to Goater and Constable > Chesser, who might not be named either, but I would think that he'll get a run of games sooner rather than later and could be a handy FD in the meantime.

I think Goater is likely to be the out (providing he is scoring okay) for one spot as long as you have the cash. Part two of the low end play is that it is easier to drop down from a Jones or Crozier type to Goater types if required, than finding money to go up. If you are going with quite few low end players or high end rookies then you can probably keep a modest amount of cash in hand. If you are going with the cheaper picks (eg in Def Cincotta and Cowan) I suspect you need a lot more cash for possible upward corrections. I do not like having anything less than 20k in cash at the start and prefer more if practical. Once upon a time I aimed for 100k but extra trades means that is probably too much now.
Think this was the link to the story but the Doedee part has been removed. maybe they went early with the story or got it wrong ha ha

I've got $130k left over in my current team, and whilst I could have less (if Cowan plays over Cincotta and/or a playing $124k ruck shows), I'm really not sure whether it's worth spending. Granted, if the money is sitting there it's doing nothing, but on the flipside it's ready for a boost to early upgrade season without having to be 'unlocked' with a trade.

That was me. Harsh it was, but I meant in reference to how lean and fast he was at the Bombers. Even one of the commentators said it, but they put it in a nice way, saying the Brisbane top made him look bigger...if that's a real thing, then Tipppa should never go to Brisbane.
I don't agree with the opposition excuse. Geelong were in 2nd gear and got smashed. That has to be equivalent to an average side in the real season. I do think Mckenna will get better over time, being out of the game for a few years. I also think he will score ok, but I don't see how he fits into the Brisbane side that's loaded with half backs. I'll probably pick him if named, but I can easily see him being dropped after a couple games based on what I've seen.
