[Lost In The Sky]

Anyone know anything about Graham from the Suns - $200k def?

39 & 71 in the Pre-season games at 85.2% Game Time

He's a Gold Coast Academy Product, 19yo 195cm 94kgs. Debuted in the Q-Clash last year, played last 3 games of the year.

A Scouting report from last year...

Caleb Graham – Key Position Utility

After picking up interstaters, Gold Coast looked to its own backyard for its final selection. The Suns picked up switchman, Caleb Graham as a long-term prospect for the club. He has settled into defence, but has also shown an ability to play forward, and with Queensland his native state, provides some security in that department. The Suns have looked to grab talls in this draft, and they have done just that, with Graham a work in progress, but one that will likely bare fruit in a few years.

Yeh that;s the issue considering he played predominately as a forward last season although I am pretty sure Stanley was still in that side. I think Fort will do most of the ruckwork, he's a better ruckman than forward. The issue I have is what happens when Jenkins gets into their side. If it doesn't work out i'll just trade down to a rookie, a lot of trades to play around with this year.

I don't think Jenkins would be a main ruckmen. He probably needs Hawk or Rat to miss.

Who do you all have for your defense rookies on the bench??? **** I need to trade out Tobe Watson and Will Gould

Brander and Starc and the latter is a 50/50 still. Could be worth investing in an extra def mid pricer or even premo on that line and running with a rookie heavy forward line. sigh

Zac Guthrie scored 80 odd in the last M2 game, $180k something from memory.

No Jenkins wont be but would it push Ratagolea to that position?

 

[Goodie's Guns]

If Starcevich misses tomorrow there's every chance I look at going 5 premium/keeper DEFs.

 

[Kidult]

Hately will be hating it didn't get much of a chance in 2019 and gets a 1st year kid named in front of him.

Currently Starcevich and Williams. Hoping like crazy that both make the final cut.

 

[Herbie66]

Our only options are...

J.Noble - COL - $215,400 - DEF
B.Zerk-Thatcher - ESS - $189,000 - DEF
C.Graham - GCS - $207,800 - DEF
F.McAsey - ADE - $184,800 - DEF
B.Starcevich - BRL - $147,700 - DEF/MID*
J.Brander - WCE - $133,000 - FWD/DEF
B.Williams - WCE - $123,900 - DEF/RUC*

Very very slim pickings.

Thought THERE was a post saying Guthrie was named.

I've just pushed it to 4. Currently got Noble, BZT, Brander and Williams/Starcevic but that could change.

 

[BigRuss]

Do we roll the dice with Pickett on field? Think we just have to trust him at this point.

 

[Lost In The Sky]

Yeah mate, Just added him too the list. Cheers

keeps getting left out of the equation for some reason

59 & 84 for Guthrie in the pre-season comp with 81.6% TOG

one extreme to the other

not confident in all of Roberton , Noble & BZT then.

I built my team with McAsey & Brander on the bench so no problem THERE.

Noble at D5 & BZT at D6 , no Roberton

 

[Drew]

Here we go ? This is the real apocalypse!

 

[BomberArmy]

At this rate, looks like my team will be full of shock and (hopefully) awe...

 

[Kidult]

Our only options are...

J.Noble - COL - $215,400 - DEF
Z.Guthrie - GEE - $190,100 - DEF
B.Zerk-Thatcher - ESS - $189,000 - DEF

Very very slim pickings.

Madgen is another but he just a tad pricey at 235k

 

[Rumbler]

17k short of affording Starcevich. Screw it, I'm just going to leave Will Gould on my bench and hope he plays in the coming weeks.

 

[ScoringFreely]

Lol how surreal is this. Goddamn bat soup.

No fans ?

Brander and B.Williams ATM for me with Naismith at R3. Bit of a unique structure but with McInerney getting named, I had the cash to go McAsey to Naismith.
