Discussion 2022: Rookie Discussion

[Shannon]

JS is there for Gibcus but really struggle to see how he will score enough to justify his price.

From memory he wasn’t even a prolific scorer in juniors. Much rather leave Hinge as a floating donut if not named.

Josh Gibcus $171,300

2021 SC Ave: 83 (NAB League)

Did he play at all in the preseason games?

No, I don't think so

Stone & Lloyd getting injured v Collingwood might of created an opportunity for him.

What happened to Wehr?

Gibcus is an easy pass for me. KPD rookie at a high price.

Jordan Butts made a solid $160k last year. Averaged 65 up until Rnd 9

Fischer McAsey made a solid $21,500 in 2020 (if you sold him in RD6 before he started losing money). He averaged 37.

Fahey looked good last year but it would be surprising if he jumped straight to afl. I would have thought angwin would be more chance of a debut?

He did play forward a few games which wouldn't of helped..

He was also 3 years older and 10kgs heavier.

This is the aspect that Ive said all pre season, but dont waste your breath lol.

$171k for a bloke who will average what, 55? It's not great.

Looking at floating donut options (WC, Ess, Haw and GC being the best teams for the opening 9 rounds) I was all set to go with Uwland (M/D). However, now that Gibcus has been named, I may take him at D7 and roll with Essendon's P. Voss (D/F) as the floater with SDK (assuming he is also named) in the opposite part of the ground. Allows me to get a look at both Gibcus' and Durdin's scores for round 1. This could end in tears

I think theres a genuine chance he averages 40 to be honest, people have massive expectations of a lightly framed key defender in his first season of senior footy.

Look at McAsey and DGB's scoring playing as first year low production key defenders, that's alot more relevant than what Butts did last year for mine.

Always a big advocate for the floating donut. Going to try to (purposely) avoid it this year.


In before Macrae 150, Gibcus 85

McAsey started as a forward though didn't he?

Started in defence and got moved forward, I started him that year and it was pain personified, just got stuck with a dud rookie.

 

[AngryAnt]

Started in defence and got moved forward, then just got dropped altogether, I started him that year and it was pain personified, just got stuck with a dud rookie.

He would have been higher priced as well, was pick 6 from memory?
Also Gibcus is a Victorian junior, they didn't play much last season, Daicos trained with the Pies I think at least for him.

He was 184k, the highest he got all season was 212k lmao, I still have nightmares from that one.

I think that the thing holding back Gibcus ATS is that he doesn't get a lot of intercept marks, he's got a huge leap and nullified JackR in all of the intraclub games with his closing speed and ability to spoil, he'll pick up a few +6's but until he starts sticking those contested marks he'll be a low scorer with good JS and really only a bench option.
