Position 2017 Rookies

[Huttabito]

Spending a little on premos and mid pricers in the lowest scoring line?

Lowest scoring line? Thats been flipped this year. 11 of the listed defenders averaged 95+ last year compared to the forwards were only 4 went 95+. I have absolutely no issue spending bigger this year. Had Docherty, Shaw, Laird and Howe at D1-4. I rate the rookies on other lines better.

I will make the call come team announcements though and assess based on which rookies are named if I will pick one more up.

I really really wanna piss Marchbank off my side.
Currently have Hampton, Otten, Stewart, Hibberd as my other backline rookies.

Is there anyone else for Marchbank you guys think?

Joel smith
Zuthrie

 

[Goody1971]

WOOHOO!!!

 

[Souup]

Id suggest those who have Otten have a plan b for when he's not selected

 

[stevebbb]

ez
Otten -> Smith or Zuthrie

Smith just became available.

I'd suggest those who make comments like this ^ can get out of my life.

 

[Spacedog]

Are j smith and zuthrie placeholders for other guys coming back or will they stay in the side as long as they are half decent??

 

[Mex13]

Does anyone have SPS ? What is his JS and scoring potential like?

 

[TheOz]

Id suggest those who have Otten have a plan b for when he's not selected

You seem to be quite confident that he won't be.

 

[Souup]

I can't believe people have their hope in Guthrie. Have you seen the size of him?

 

[Souup]

You seem to be quite confident that he won't be.

In my viewing of the Adelaide board not many on there think he'll be in round 1, and if he is he'll be back out within a couple of weeks.

 

[nameless]

Does anyone have SPS ? What is his JS and scoring potential like?

Probably good, and probably good.

 

[toxic]

Given the crows have spent 4 years persisting with Otten and his injuries, as they see him as best 22..or they certainly did..what makes you think his jlt selection and form wont get him a rd1 spot?

 

[rocker_oz33]

Otten might hopfully keep Cheney out of the team and get a good run at it....hope hoope.

 

[stevebbb]

so now we have choices to make!!

3 def spots to fill: Otten, Stewart, Zuthrie, Smith and Hibberd

3 mid bench spots to fill: Mountford, Florent, Barrett, Parfitt, Pickett and Miles


Good news is I can lock Pickett in on my mid bench and worry about the others tomorrow once Sunday teams are finalised!

Hes in the team to make mackie look huge.

 

[stevebbb]

I can't believe people have their hope in Guthrie. Have you seen the size of him?

yes I have, he looks like a 12 year old school girl
but still, green dots are nice

I think he'll make the extended team tonight but miss the final team for Sunday and be emergency
Stewart a red hot crack though

 

[Jimmy#17]

Id suggest those who have Otten have a plan b for when he's not selected

Around 12% of a plan.

 

[Double the Fist]

Disagree, reckon all of Hampton, Otten, Stewart, Hibberd, Smith, Guthrie will get up.

I have Hampton, Otts, ditched Stewy for Hibbered.
Joel Smith needs to be elevated no?

Edit, Smith elevated like a boss

 

[Mullarkey]

Confirmed

I'd be selecting all of those defenders with Guthrie probably the iffy one considering he looks like he's 12.
Florent is probably too much of a spend to be on the bench.

 

[ctrooper]

I'm going to ask an annoying question because I've left my team until the last second this year (work and being a mum - so inconvenient!!) - who is SPS
