Discussion 2022: Rookie Discussion
- Thread starter Shannon
- Start date
It's not just anyone for me - it desperately needs to be a defender rookie from the Round 14 bye.
It's incredibly frustrating Charlie Dean & Will Kelly got injured

True that.
Although I guess it is what you are playing for whether its overall , league fun , league $$$ etc etc that can also dictate our Bye thinking too much
See so many people trade in/out player X , Y , Z just because of the Byes and not really consider if it is a long term benefit to their team or not (still 9 rounds to go after the Byes to make up points)
I am at the stage now where I will hopefully just trade in the players I want for the rest of the season , regardless of their Byes.
Just waiting for the next lot of DPP'S because 50% of my current onfield forward line may need to be changed , then could be carrying way too much cash on the bench , lot of thinking might have to change for the second half of the season.
Certainly have seen people rapidly rise up the rankings though with a very well thought out bye planning/structure
Maybe one poor Bye Round can be covered by 2 very good Bye Rounds

VFL player review Round 6:-
Luke Cleary
27 disposals, four marks, six rebound 50s
Luke is continuing to progress well – he was probably one of our better defenders. He also ended up playing a quarter on the wing to explore that possibility as well. He’s had a great few weeks as a defender now, and is making really good decisions. He reads the play and pressure on the ball well, and reads the flight nice and early too. He’s always first to move compared to his opponent, which is a great asset.
Round 5:-
Luke Cleary
19 disposals, five marks, two tackles
Luke played down back and had his best game since arriving at the Club. His contest game was very strong, and he was able to halve all of his 1v1s while helping out his fellow defenders when he could. His ability to gain possession and find teammates in traffic is a real strength of his game. Every week his game is building and becoming more and more balanced.
Round 4:-
Luke Cleary
18 disposals, six marks, four rebound 50s
Luke was pretty solid behind the ball again this week. His ability to win the ball at contest and find his teammates on the outside is a feature of his game. We are looking for a bit more physicality from him as a defender, so we can own more advantage in the contests he finds himself in, but we are happy with how he is going.
Sounds quite promising, good numbers & even played a 1/4 on the wing.
