Which rookies would you comfortably have on field at D6 and F6 ?
(personally don't think you can have more than 1 rookie on these lines, particularly with the quality midfield rookies we seem to have)

Currently have Sinn at D6 and Hollands at F6 and currently wondering whether I really to spend up for Sinn, and whether or not I really need to spend up from Hollands.

Pedlar in forward line. I almost think if Hollands plays we are better off going 2 in the forwards and none in the backs. Do we really feel confident Sinn will play each week early and not cop a vest?

Is Pedlar on track for R1?
I had him it at F6 a while ago, but read he was coming back from injury and nobody on the crows board had him in their best 22s

I took him out too thinking he was injured then saw he was in match sim smashing into some tackles so sounds good to go

Oh please .....don't ever believe any views on the ADEL board ....they don't even get any training reports (well a couple lately) on the board .....they're more your pub supporters who sit at home and comment on media articles

The ADEL board won't acknowledge Pedlar as a serious player, till he's played

Pedlar is in full training, after a shoulder op post season ......news from last week was he was tackling & in the thick of it
Because he's had so many injuries arising from his final junior year ....he has to build his fitness base, so I doubt it'll be R1 .....but the kid is a serious player ! ....I have him as better than Schoenberg

He can sit at F6 for the time being then.

D6 is still an unknown to me. Currently have Sinn, but really no idea
1. If he's likely for R1 (ongoing job security would have to be pretty shaky for a side like Port)
2. If he's likely to score well (if he's only going to be pumping 50s, might as well try someone cheaper at D6 if the job security is there)

I have Charlie Parker, Comben, and De Koning as FWD Rookies .....currently using Hollands as the utility, which also allows me to interchange Hollands / Comben as the utility

Dean & Skinner as DEF Rookies ....maybe Boyd
 
Currently dead quiet on Hollands, was in the reserves side in most recent match sims. Hopefully can get something for the thread but i may be looking at someone else at F6... just in case
from all reports he'll be starting in the twos which is a shame
 
Gee that makes it real tough.

High chance of some of the KPP such as Dean, Skinner, TDk, Will Kelly, etc starting as D6 or F6.
 
McDonagh not likely for R1 anymore ?
Currently have Hamling in at D7. Expect him to be mid 50's which would be acceptable, particularly down back.
Never was

Our back 7 is set he needs injuries to it to be any cha ce and even then we may use a mid to replace an injured defender
 
Just on the basis of most likely rookies for round 1 and what I’ve gleaned from the many brilliant training reports from Big Footy posters, my team underwent a fair bit of change last night.

No one that wasn’t already on my short list came in but it’s the structure that was different.

As many of you would know there is plenty of Fantasy talk on social media and now excellent podcasts as well and plenty of well performed coaches give their thoughts on all things and many have talked about structure.

The consensus seems to be that you want a certain amount of keepers and the experts also seem fairly rigid about the breakdown of keepers per line. The midfield being the heaviest as you would expect. The popular figure in there would be, five.

I (a person who has never finished top 100) has said on here and amongst friends that the structure should depend on where you place your rookies. Do that first. You can’t afford to miss the best cash cows, and every year they are there; you need to sort the good job security cows from the one week wonders such as Toby Bedford.

Who? you ask. Exactly.

I say, put your best rookies in place in order to maximise their potential and then fill in the rest of the spots.

Well this year that idea is starting to look interesting for me. Yes, it’s very early to determine which rookies will start and be reliable, but at this stage plenty of them appear to be straight Mid.

My structure at the moment, as far as (assumed, predicted, fingers crossed) keepers go is

3, 3, 1, 5.

And, actually, I could go further on the forwards as I still don’t have Taranto or Dusty or Heeney and there are others. They could all be top 6 – 8 forwards. So it’s a guess as to which are keepers but I’m happy with mine.

While it looks a bit thin having only three premium mids; if that’s what the rookie roll out leaves you, I am comfortable with that. If it stays as it looks to me, I can see many teams leaving out gun rookie mids to even out their lines, in the process missing an JHF or an Erasmus or a Goater or a Ward because of a perception of too many in the mids. Not to mention that they are top priced as well.

We will see in six weeks or so but I hope it stays as it is because there appears to be enough rookies for us already, but will coaches be adventurous enough have them dominate one line. As I said, I have seven in the mids currently, but while they may seem bonkers to some, I really don’t see how the percentage of one line matters; it’s the percentage of your overall thirty players that is important, in my opinion.
 
Good numbers, but we all thought Connor Downie was a lock for Hawthorns round 1 side last year, only for him to disappear.
Nah he was always on the fringe to make it, and did not have anywhere near the same impact in pre season that Maccas has had.

I’m saying that he still isn’t a lock for round 1, but is definitely in contention. Also think Sam is more likely to go young than Clarko did last year.
 
After yesterday mentioning There was no content on Elijah Hollands.

He happens to re-sign today and had a nice little 3 minute interview, saying he playing midfield and bit of wing and some time down. Back.

Still building his foundations so prob won’t be round 1
