Strategy 2023: Rookies Discussion

[dlanod]

Do you know the poster @dlanod and is he reliable or BF reliable?You need to control your board

He's a regular but he doesn't generally drop inside info so I'd take it with a grain of salt or two.

Is everyone prepared for a scenario where both McKenna and Wilmot don't get selected - I'm not!

I have had that scenario in the back of my mind since the start of preseason. Which is why I only ever included McKenna in the backline. As the most expensive you can drop down or push up to someone like Goater. Which is also why I held cash back. Still as mentioned we get to see the other rookie options and have Friday to consider the different scenarios.

From a Lachie Schultz Q+A:

Sam Sturt has had a massive pre-season and he’s brought a completely different mindset to his role. We’re seeing how well he’s played so far and he’s only scratching the surface at the moment, so he’s set to have a massive year.

From a Lachie Schultz Q+A:

Very interesting, thanks for sharing mate - do you think he can keep his spot when Walters is fit?

I was assuming he'd be out (he wasn't in my Freo best 22 or SC) but if it's clicked for Sturt he's ahead of a few on talent. I think there's a spot with Walter returning but it's tight.

Yessss Cowan & Hollands confirmed to debut

One sub the other subbed. Yes a bit negative but could very much happen.

 

[Blue Bloods]

I remember Dean Terlich from Demons was a star rookie back in 2013. I’m fairly sure the winner from that year (John Bruyn, Dimmawits) had him for majority of the season. Missed 1st game and then took his opportunity from 2nd game onwards. It’s a marathon, not a sprint.

Could put Palmer in the same category

For the ones who do play round 2-3 there are many more who don’t play at all or come in after their bubble and are perfect downgrade targets.

Only really works if they can be used as your only donut early

 

[Feerits Elf]

So I assume Cowan will be sitting on a few benches with the (E) on him on Thursday

Edit: and if he does a McIntosh or Lower and tons up how are we gonna get it without dismantling structure?

Chesser? Cincotta? Gilbee?

Can't see Cowan being subbed
But it could happen.

Sheezel debut confirmed :-

Agree and should be able to tell as well. If Marchbank, Plowman or Kemp sub good chance but an injury or any other probably not.

Im just trying to leave them out of my team but know I will start one because of other rookies not named

His chances of retaining a permanent spot would depend on the numbers he can pull while walters spot is open of course

I've not seen much of Samson Ryan but he's listed as a 96kg, 206cm 22yo. That's massive.

Is he a more of a 'drop it on his head', lumbering, CCJ type or a more mobile Luke Jackson type? Capable of kicking a bag?

Trying to work out if Ryan/Sav/Madden and Jackson would get me two decent scores each week from three of them and a lot of DPP flexibility.

 

[toxic]

Is Mackenzie to expensive to be sitting on the bench? Is it worth downgrading him to a chesser freeing up 60k?

Currently my M9
Phillips at M10

Cash making is king

He's a decent mover,not sure he's the aerobic Jackson model but he's no CCJ.
Has done his time rucking in VFL & can clunk it. Wouldn't expect 4 or 5 goals though.
Tiges say Soldo is out so it's either Ryan or Miller pinch hitting in Rd 1.

I’d assume you’re running Hopper Callaghan Ashcroft M6-8? DeGoey M5?

Sounds like North need two of him. Think I'll give it a two week period and correct if he seems like a must have.

 

[Blue Bloods]

Hollands and Cowan just offered 2 year extension so we must rate them.
