Yep alot of us have very high hopes for him. His tapwork is great just need to work on a all round game a little as he comes from a soccer background and get bigger/stronger, but he isnt even 21 yet. Wouldnt be suprised if he got a game or 2 this year just to give him some afl exposure.

Sooooo... when's Mutch getting a game cause he's still loitering on last years bench the lazy campaigner?
Hey man, the Horks board suggests that Cousins isn't best 22 yet. What are your thoughts on that?

I'm a distant supporter unfortunately. They would know better than I do.
Mutch ado about nothing, I thought I wiped him from my memory... After Relton and Pickett he was one of the worst rookies ever.

I know there's a lot of variables to take into account (such as team structure), but what's the max number of expensive rookies we should start?
Got my eyes on Collins, Clark, Cousins, Walsh, Butters, Rankine, Setterfield. Don't really wanna start them all

What's your definition of expensive? I currently have 3 over $150k, being Collins, Walsh and Archie Smith. Setterfield and Clark just below that level.I know there's a lot of variables to take into account (such as team structure), but what's the max number of expensive rookies we should start?

He doesn't have amazing JS. You know Clarko doesn't hold back sending someone back to the 2s. Cousins will probably get first crack at Mitchell's mid spot, but like all hawk rookies, they'll get the arse after a few games if they aren't doing what Clarko wants.

Likely to play as a small pressure forward .....not looking good for McAdam R1

Really good thanks for that
struggling to balance the side Forward line only has Danger and Devon in the team
Last year I only went premiums and kids but this year it seems some mid price players are the way to go
Not sure but he's a bit of a pea-heart. Got injured by a strong breeze at Freo with his dicky knee post music festival injury

Mmmm ....then Clarkes not going to be a reliable R3 .....and at his $140K+ price
I should preface that by adding he strung nearly a full season for Subi at lower intensity/impact WAFLMmmm ....then Clarkes not going to be a reliable R3 .....and at his $140K+ price
South Adelaide's Hayden McLean and former Magpie Sam McLarty will fly to Sydney to try and get a SSP spot at the Swans.

IMO if either of them gets picked they will be depth players as they woud be replacing Jack Maibaum (ACL), however should Grundy or Melican get injured, which given recent history is a live option, then watch this space.

Bad news for Balta enthusiasts (everyone), Lynch looking more and more likely to play round 1 and Caddy on “a similar timeframe”

The positive is that if Lynch and Balta are named together we can be confident that Balta has good JS. He'll need another good JLT game though

True, I think he will be playing round 1, and the more of our full strength team is available the better his JS looks
Yeah, rucking is one of the few ways to **** a pcl

It'll also come down to whether we are willing to put Lynch in the ruck. If we hear anything about not using Lynch in the ruck then Balta is a lock until Grigg is back in round 5 or so

Some Tigers-affiliated SC blokes thinking similarly, by the looks.

Just catching up on Tiges v Dees, Balta Metropolis-like. Monolithic second quarter, see why people were getting excited.
