Position 2022 Fantasy Rookies

[RowellAnderson12]

Is Geelong the only club who isn't going to debut someone who hasn't played a game of AFL yet if so

Was really hoping for 1 or 2 debuts from us

Suns won’t debut anyone

 

[RowellAnderson12]

Next minute Cooper is a late in

God I hope not I could easily use Jack Hayes or Sam Hayes…. Just don’t have the patience to wait 24 more hours

Where do we rate Durdin and Baldwin?

I'll probably only take. Ideally I'd rather take neither!

Who has the better job security?

I was thinking of going with Baldwin just so I didnt lock a bench rook tonight... but with all the rookie chaos I may wish in hindsight I just locked away a $190ker that was available.

Durdin better long term JS. Baldwin locked for 5 games while Harry Jones is out.

Baldwin looks likely to score more even as a tall. Had elite junior numbers while Durdin's were very average.

 

[Neale4brownlow]

Durdin has taken Eddie Betts role and looks locked in. I'd say he has very strong JS. Lots of positive news about him out of the players at the club.

Excellent. I couldn't pick either out of a line-up so I'll run with Durdin! haha.

Thank you Chris Scott I have a loophole !!!! 29 green dots thank you

loophole? don't you have Touk?

 

[JDWCE]

Any Port lads have insight into Hayes? I'm torn whether starting him is the best option or starting someone like J Hayes over him so that we can flip Dixon when it all inevitably falls apart....

 

[Neale4brownlow]

In all this chaos I've only just noticed my rookies on ground has dropped to 4.....

Mid Price madness has taken over my squad.

 

[RowellAnderson12]

loophole? don't you have Touk?

Yes I do but Trac 142 is hard to beat

 

[tigs2010]

Yes I do but Trac 142 is hard to beat

Miller will do it with his eyes shut

 

[Corby_4]

Miller will do it with his eyes shut

DON'T YOU JINX HIM DAMMIT!

 

[TedDougChris]

DON'T YOU JINX HIM DAMMIT!

Immediately trades out Touk...

You should be fine now he is out of my side....

 

[JDWCE]

Yes I do but Trac 142 is hard to beat

Miller will be on that at half time. You seen our midfield right now?

I predict this will be me Sunday afternoon

But then when I remember that I have Touk who just went 500 as captain I'll be like

 

[Neale4brownlow]

Yes I do but Trac 142 is hard to beat

Miller: "Hold my beer".

 

[danster168]

He's only value if he's going up in price.

Fisher McAsey for example was a bad pick in 2020, despite the fact he was playing early on.
View attachment 1346308

True. if he gets 16 and 19's then yeah he's a failed pick but he's value because there's no rookie defenders you can hang your hat on. So if you don't get him you'll probably have to do about 5 extra trades throughout the year to avoid donuts and probably end up copping an extra donut or 2 throughout the year. so that's where his value lies.

 

[danster168]

Is it?

I've got no qualms picking McCartin. Paying +$80k for a guy who's named and will play games seems a good deal?

Picking a no-name $190ker who'll be dropped like a hot potatoe seems counter productive.

But D8 almost always becomes that graveyard spot each year now.

D8..you mean D6. You're doing something wrong if you've got McCartin at D^.

Looks like he got 2/3 right said SicDawg, McEvoy and Breust

 

[Coasters7]

Is it crazy to even think about starting 4 midfield rookies? .. coz i may have4 mid rookies starting in my team atm

Don’t mind the 4/4. Providing its 4 absolute nailed on pigs. No messing around in the middle so speculative picks like Rowell at M5 (who I’ve currently got) might need to be shown the door. Pick a rookie and grab another Hewett type. 1. There’s a lower ceiling for success in other positions and 2. Someone like Hewett should be better value as he should get a guaranteed increase on role alone while Rowell has to up the production with not a lot of change in role.

Issue is.. (like always) who’s the 4th rookie we can trust

This is my 4 rookie mid strat... might not be able to trust that 4th rookie, but i got backup... plus if Matt crouch is broken... at least i'll also have cover, and can potentially still do crouch -> rowelll if it looks bad round 1

They've used up their get out of jail for free card.

They've used up their get out of jail for free card.

Can i have one of those cards please

 

[Neale4brownlow]

D8..you mean D6. You're doing something wrong if you've got McCartin at D^.

McCartin D7 at the minute. and DK D8.
I don't like it but I don't see an alternative atm...

Teams may hopefully help.

Currently D5 Milera, D6 $300-$380k, (McCartin / DK bench).

If a decent cheap bench player emerges it'll be McCarton D6 and Mrouch upgrades back to Neale (how I had it originally).

 

[kozi]

Miller will do it with his eyes shut

Touk (c) lining up against the West Perth 3rd's
