Discussion Rookie Discussion

[Ricky Bobby]

Made that change this morning.

About 600 short of a 3/5/2/4 structure (counting Smith as a keeper) with a 4 150k+ rookies and the rest of the 'probable' rookies. Had to put Hibberd in the mids as a donut to play.

Feels like a 4 prem mid line might be required

“Required” might be a bit strong, but “possible” might come into play, especially if someone like Serong becomes a viable pick.

Definitely not recording all stats from the Marsh's games as I can no longer devote the time to it. However, I intend to keep stats of Rookie players so will post a summary up at the end of each week.

That’s awesome - thanks (Rookies are the most important ones anyway) ??

Put Serong in last night and his price is the one that forced the consideration of compromise.

How much mid time will he get ahead of Fyfe , Mundy , Walters , Blakely , Brayshaw , Cerra etc etc though , might be stuck forward

+1.

Stephens seems the safer bet for mid minutes

 

[TopBillings]

Thoughts on Bonar?

Rather him up fwd then King/Rankine due to mid minutes

Interesting Horse didn't stipulate AFL or NEAFL mid minutes for Stephens.

Going to be fun trying to find the 3rd one to go with Rowell & Pickett

That’s it. Is it worth it?

Probably not. I’ll back in Georgiades

Not necessary. Go with Hannebery at M6.

I actually have Houston at M7 now & Pickett M8

3rd AND 4th one for me with my current team. Only 4 premium mids, but the rest of my team is potentially strong enough to make it up.

I'll probably go back to 5 premium mids, but need to see more pre-season matches to see where the decent rookies are.

No use locking in anything in concrete now until the Round 1 teams are announced , just make sure the Carlton & Richmond players are right to go before the whole system blows up like normal

 

[Herbie66]

This is promising signs for those looking to R3 as another cash cow position.

Imagine the fun we could have if Jackson pumps out something big today ?

Jackson , Sweet , Xerri

all about GnR's so that must work ?

I think my 4 premium mid team ended up with Devon Smith at M5

Laird , Sicily , Houston , Docherty
Bont , Cripps , Danger , Oliver
Grundy , Gawn
Whitfield , D Martin , Heeney , Lynch

from memory

Anderson seems to be the forgotten one , be funny if he out scores Rowell

EDIT

Doubt that fits under the Salary cap as I always use higher priced rookies to construct teams.

This. Got him splitting Rowell & Pickett at present.

Makes sense to use him , easier to go down than up when the teams come out.

We just need Dew to come out and say Anderson , Budarick , Flanders , McLennan , Rankine , Rowell & Sharp are all going to debut Round 1 and play 22 games and half our rookies are found.

Haha the funny thing is all of them will play 10+ games surely?

The Burgess’s of the world can’t be getting games anymore
