Are the rookies drying up? Doesn’t seem as many coming through as previous years…

Round 4 was just a quiet week for rookies. There could easily be a bunch of debutants that get named this week though - wait and see I guess.

Cincotta could be a big chance with Docherty now out for 4 - 6 weeks. Bargain basement price of $102,400 too

My concern over Cincotta is that if he's a direct swap and Doch only misses 4 weeks then we're only getting 2x price cycles of cash generation. We really need Doch confirmed to be out 5 to 6. Like you say, Cincotta's starting price is a boon though.

Fergus Greene vs Lachie Cowan vs Alwyn Davey

If you HAD to get rid of one this week, who would it be?

Davey

Davey

Thanks - I am thinking the same.

Cowan doesn't seem capable of more that 51 for the last 3 weeks, it'd be nice if there was a breakout score in there somewhere.

Chandler if owned

Chandler BE -4 gonna make another 30k this week, Melbourne has a great draw coming up?
Should get to 300k over next few weeks you would think...
And a better on field scoring option as far as fwd rookies go of that lot.

He's super consistent I'll give him that, at least we know what to expect.
Maybe the breakout is coming.... tonight

He might get a few more of Docherty's minutes. He seems to have a good football head on him.

Anything above 70 is a win, come on COWan!

I don't own him.

Just a selection of the more popular Rookies to guide your assessment of when is the right time to trade.

Some notes to take into account when viewing the table/chart...

• 'Peak Price' is the price that players will track towards if they continue at their current average (excluding injury affected score, for example, Jones' 5 in the first round).
• 'Green' means still cash to be made
• 'Blue' means no rush to trade out
• 'Orange' means okay to trade out
• 'Red' means consider trading out

 

[NT.Thunder]

I’m a little worried about my rookie selections, especially still holding Chandler and Constable. Constable I think scores okay with opportunity but not sure he comes back anytime soon with Powell playing well. Chandler sideways to JVR maybe but another burnt trade but feel I need the cash gen, just worried about JVR’s JS. Maybe I’ll look at Wagner or anyone else coming in.

 

[frosty1]

I can't come to terms with bringing in Van Rooyen or Samason Have decided there's only one trade in me this week, and that's Goater out for someone for cash gen. Ideally Toby McLean would make a reappearance I think.

You also need to consider upcoming opposition. Ben King (as a red) plays Freo, where Larkey (4 goals), Darling (3), Allen (3) and Tex (3) have feasted on Freo. If I had Ben king (which thankfully I don't) I'd be holding this week.
