What structure is everyone looking at in terms of keepers out of interest? Keepers not to include the likes of Bruhn/Setters/Hopper/Ziebell/Fyfe etc - $450k and up. I'm not seeing much from the defender rookies and can see some pain down back with limited bail out options being available if some are dropped/injured. Might be being a little cautious but what's people gut feel a couple of days out?
I keep flip-flopping between (D/M/R/F)
3/3/2/4 and 2/4/2/4
I'm actually the polar opposite, very happy with the defensive rookies at this point and like the group a lot. At this point only Ashcroft, Mackenzie and maybe McLean are better than the Jones, Cole, Ginbey, McKenna, Constable et al group.
Current mix is 0/5(Green)2/4.
If the rookies don't surface will go with Stewart most likely (Doch plays too early I expect).
The question is whether there will be the 2 or so extras to justify taking all the above-mentioned as on-field picks, realistically need to have 1 or 2 DEF rookies outside the starting side, so right now looking at basically 4 of Wilmot, Chesser, Fahey, Cowan, Goater, Crozier, Stocker, Michalaney, Weddle, McVee, Bergman, Young and Cincotta making the cut and looking good, some of these look much better than others.
Forward rookies I'm genuinely struggling to find a starter. Mids have about 4 and then sweet nothings.
It's funny, it's actually a really strong rookie group but the starter options look very thin on the ground at all positions but I think DEF looks deepest in that regard.
