Discussion Rookie Discussion

So given that these predicted teams have now scared everyone, to prepare for the worst case scenarios, does anyone have a view on:
Townsend v ZGL v Schultz?
Can't really split these guys. Bonar would've been better. Potentially just taking a Davis/Sturt type on bench instead is better than paying up.

I think the Marsh cup averages will be a good indicator for Davis, Sturt and King's scoring levels. Probably your 40-50 avg rookies that peak at 220k. King has shown some potential for a spike game so I prefer him to Davis/Sturt.
Taylor showed a good ceiling, but realistically I think probably 55-60. Rankine is hyped so purely based on that I think at least 60.
Serong is really role and TOG dependent. Could see him averaging 65 easily if he gets an inside mid role, but if stuck forward could be closer to a 50 avg. Maybe Serong is the one I try get in the hope that he does string a few together and plays inside mid.
Jackson is the big unknown for me. They're saying things like playing him in the midfield as a midfielder not ruck. Wondering whether to take him if named R1 as it'd be a good indicator of JS and recognition of his potential.

Is he a real chance to play you think @Ben's Beasts
Can our twitter guru @Professor @Connoisseur tweet out a petition to SC to change Jackson to a R/F as I wouldn't mind a 'cheapish' DDP forward...
Is this for F5 with C Taylor at F6? Out of those I would go with ZGL, but personally I'd rather go a Davis type and hope Rankine is good for 60 a game on field at F6. Davis appears to have solid job security, which is rare this year at that low rookie price. Alternatively, maybe Brander or Budarick if named, but feel we may need them in defence and midfield.
Forward seems to have anumber of reasonable options at the cheap end of the scale. I wonder if we'll have to make sacrifices in our "premium" or "breakouts" here to get the stronger rookies.
One option is of course (I think @Herbie66 looked at this) to start one of likes of smith/steven/brayshaw in midfield and swing them forward in due course.

Waiting on price drops for many of the fully priced premiums, such as Gawn, Macrae, Lloyd and Whitfield; and choosing to start the lower end premiums such as Oliver, Houston and Steven may be even more important this year to fit in all these high priced rookies.
I know it sounds obvious but taking Macrae and Whitfield down to Oliver and Houston has allowed me to maintain 14 premiums, while having the high priced rookies that appear to have strong job security
