I have too many blanks, waiting for playing Rookie confirmation for Rd1.

I have too many blanks, waiting for playing Rookie confirmation for Rd1.

Think we'd all like to do this ideally but have to commit to a fair bit of our structure on Wednesday night before we know most of the teams. Fingers crossed the media departments have our backs with some early videos of cheap SC players phoning their parents.

Actually, idea for club pr people. Have the starting rookies phone up keen SC players to tell them they're debuting. Reckon we could give a bigger cry of delight than any mere parent.

Thing is we now know even this isn't foolproof because they can still be the sub! I'm still pretty down on Hawthorn for doing that.

Imagine the Bevo love if we get Jones , McComb & Parker debutant announcements

 

[baz_machine]

Devon is done - any bombers future does not include lunchmeat
Guelfi is at best a sub
Cox has unique potential for a team no idea if Truck rates him

Martin can play - just needs a chance imho

The biggest concern IMO would be he plays 2-3 games, then they use him as the sub.

I don't disagree with any of your player assessments but coaches sometimes pick older players because reasons *cough* Mackay *cough*

Devon I do hope is phased out but he does add some creativity to the forward line which without tippa, is lacking.

I feel like a kid waiting for Santa a couple days out. I can not wait for 6.10pm Wednesday! No daylight saving in Queensland we get the game earlier 😎

Any chance you can post the 1/4 and 1/2 time scores so we can consider them before our lockout.

I would be horrified as this means that there's a good chance that Bevo is going to start Parker and McComb on-ball and play Macrae as a key forward with Dunkley as the sub.

What are these “playing rookies” you speak of?

 

[Woodsey]

Out of curiosity

Total bench value

Where is everyone at?

I'm at roughly 1.1mil

1.28 mill with Pruess on the bench. With the lack of scoring fwd rookies as mentioned above, I can see myself swinging English Fwd and playing Pruess on ground - just not in Rd 1!

 

[AngryAnt]

Are people going to not select Hinge even if he's named?

 

[Athomas]

Are people going to not select Hinge even if he's named?

Good question.

That's my plan but when it comes down to it, if he's named and we don't get some others (Sinn/Martin etc) then might have to.

If first defender rookie is D6, I think McCartin/Gibcus/DeKoning is fine.

I've got a rookie at D5 so might have to pick Hinge if we don't get any surprises like Sinn.

Loops might play a part for me (Macrae VC / Gibcus EMG)

 

[Woodsey]

Interested to hear what everyone’s plans are if Hinge isn’t named (currently my D5). Is it to swap with a named playing rookie (Kemp/Sinn) or to go upwards.
If upwards how far? Rioli at 330? Chapman at 275? Bowey at 265?

 

[scarfaceclaw]

I just put Hinge back into my side at d7 with mccartin at da. It really depends on who is named. Dont know my r3 or m10/11 yet.

Seems like we’ll get at least one Eagles rookie

Patiently waiting for the media to tell us which Rookies will be playing round 1. I have fine tuned my Players List.

I already locked in the main players that I want and temporarily filled in the team. Which Rookies are playing will influence my structure.

Which WCE Rookies Debutants?

MID (WCE) HOUGH, Brady $117,300
F/M (WCE) NAISH, Patrick $189,600
F/R (WCE) DIXON, Hugh $102,400
DEF (WCE) PETREVSKI-SETON, Sam $344,200

FWD (WCE) RIOLI, Willie $225,300
F/R (WCE) WILLIAMS, Bailey $218,600

F/R (WCE) DIXON, Hugh $102,400
F/R (WCE) WILLIAMS, Bailey $218,600

Is Patrick Naish worth a look? Experienced body and will likely play through the midfield I'm assuming?

Williams & Rioli obviously have played before so he's not talking about them.

If I had to guess I'd say Dixon, Naish & Petrevski-Seton are the Eagles debuts this week. With Hough a chance to fill in for Witherden for the week.

I think we're being a bit optimistic with these Eagles rookies. Dixon will surely be the first out when Darling is back.
