Yeah im trying to decide between dickson and hall too

 

[Happy Daze]

So, one rookie spot left in the forward line, with Kerridge, Hall and Cameron already in there.

Pfeiffer the best choice?

Kerridge an emergency - thinking of switching Smedts into the forward line and getting another backline rookie in his current place.

 

[vanders]

Got two rookie spots to fill, one defender and one forward.

I currently have Ellis & Boumann in def and Hall Dickson & Smedts in the fwd.

Suggestions?

 

[fairdinkum]

Alright I've decided.

Bugg, Ellis, Smedts
McDonald, Smith, Magner
Longer, Jiles, Redden
Kennedy, Pfeiffer, Weedon, Hall, Dickson

Couldn't split the final five forward rookies and decided that Hall and Dickson were both better than the next best options in defense/midfield.

Convince me otherwise, bigfooty. Convince me otherwise.

Dickson over Panos. Mature age, mature body, goal kicker. Good fit for us.

What's Boumanns job security like? Trying to pick between him and Morris.

 

[hodgydog]

pfeiffer worth picking? Was named on extended bench

 

[SHAKESPEARE]

What's Boumanns job security like? Trying to pick between him and Morris.

will probably play a month if he's solid. Then he might pinch Gilham's spot. I prefer him to Gilham tbh

pfeiffer worth picking? Was named on extended bench

wait till tomorrow then see. He will play though eventually

Pfeiffer and Weedon are named as emergencies. The others are starting on the field, fairly convincing.

Named on extended bench. HS formatting has them as emergencies but they are not yet until final teams announced tomorrow night.

 

[DrummoSolo]

Anyone got anything on Tynan?

Duly noted

 

[LiverpoolRed]

Does anyone know when Zorko is expected to be fit by?

 

[Ed_Gein]

completely underwhelming year for rookie priced players imo.

Anyone got anything on Tynan?

good question. he hasn't figured at all in their pre-season games....

 

[Norfolk & Clew]

What is Jackson Paine like? Is he going to be in the team for long?

 

[oneredfrog]

Aaron Hall (GC) or Tory Dickson (WB)??

 

[G-Mo77]

Aaron Hall (GC) or Tory Dickson (WB)??

I've got them both. Don't know a lot about Hall to be honest he was just recommended to me. As for Dickson he won't be a big scorer, well at least I don't think he'll be but I think his position in the team is pretty secure.

Tynan has played all the NAB games for Melb. Didn't score big but impressed with his intensity, exactly what Neeld is looking for hence his spot in the side. Still wouldn't take him over some of the other rookies though.

 

[Baggers]

Does anyone know when Zorko is expected to be fit by?

This. Thought I had read he would be right for round 2, but just checking the afl website, says To Be Confirmed. Not encouraging.
Any of our BL friends have further info to this?
Cheers.

Not much more can really be said. I'm keeping him in the back of my mind as a downgrade option, but everyone'll know when he comes back - he'll be going through the reserves for sure after this long off in his first preseason.

Racking my brain here, I thought Couch was going to play so it's thrown my side out a bit.

I have 116.2k to spend my M6 and I already have Ledger, Magner.

I was thinking of taking Zorko and if needed playing Fyfe, Martin, Chappy, ect. in mid, but his comeback could be up to month or two away.

From what I can see, it looks like Seedsman is my only option? Not really keen on that...

I wish Smedts was a Def/Mid FFS!

If you were considering Zorko would you consider Neale? Looks to be on a shorter comeback from injury. Not an ideal situation though.

What about Clay Smith??

 

[toxic]

okay rookie drama like everyone else, clay smith vs wingard vs ledger vs neale (who i really rate)
then cripps versus hall versus jackson paine

can afford about 280K between 1 mid and 1 fwd,, need someone to choose for me plz
