Position 2024 Rookies

Modelling themselves on the dogs. Macrae, Dunkley, Bont, Libba, Smith, plus several other capable midfielders, and they sign Treloar.

Treloar was a gift and Dunks was looking to move on.

Collingwood fans hype him up because the potential is as clear as day to see. It was infuriating when hacks like Cal Brown were getting games ahead of him, or if he did play, he was shifted to a forward pocket. The one difference this year is he was never getting this level of wraps that he's received in pre-season training. Repeatedly considered one of the best in every intra club, out of contract at years end, with an aging midfield, it makes perfect sense for him to finally start getting some games. Unfortunately, he is a sub risk and although I can see him scoring well, he's the type of player that'll be in and out of the side throughout the season. Round 5 2021 he got 12 disposals in the fourth quarter playing as a midfielder. I know its kind of funny referring to a game from three years ago but he's had very little chance to prove himself since. His VFL form was incredible last season and im very confident the club dont want to lose him, so i think he'll get a decent chance this year.

He can only play midfield and it’s been a pretty hard midfield to crack into the past couple of years. But it’s ageing now and it sounds like they told Adams they are going to give young blokes a go over him; I’d be very surprised if Macrae isn’t given a consistent run of games to prove whether he has what it takes.

He needs to crack the team this year or he’ll be on the move. Very talented.

Why this young Bulldog DM'd one of the AFL's toughest mids

Already turning heads at Whitten Oval for his inquisitiveness and work ethic, Ryley Sanders is ready to take the AFL by storm in his debut season

Made a Grand Final that season. And he was great in it. Nearly a master-stroke.

Problem with Macrae is he's a massive sub risk. Collingwood's midfield is pretty deep; it only takes one game where he's sub and scores 12 to ruin his cash gen. I don't see a world where he gets a month or more of four quarter footy.

Surely they sub off some of the older blokes to rest them rather than a young whipper snapper (unless he's having a mare)?

It has to be one of Riley Hardeman (biomedical science with forensics major), Bailey Scott (civil engineering and architecture), or Tom Powell (commerce, specialising in auditing).

Maybe Bailey designs the elaborate trap, Riley covers up the crime scene afterwards, and Powell makes sure it all gets paid for via blind trusts established on the Cook Islands with Panamanian bank accounts.

Not TT that’s for sure

hefty price if he's playing forward.

but we get to view in R0

With Hunter out round 1 I’d imagine he plays wing. What happens when Hunter is back is the real question

 

[buttox]

I see a lot are picking the number 1 pick in here
My knock on him is he falls over so he doesn't have to chase, masking his lack of tank.
I will not be starting him, got to trust my gut on this one.

 

[Maybe Tomorrow]

Don't get SC points for chasing. Save your energy I say Harley, let the spuds do the running

 

[Blackhawk42]

Won't start him, but some nice Wiz footage in these match sim highlights. Looks a beauty.

Match footage starts around 10 minute mark.

Horse can be a kent with rookies too. Roberts is cheap enough to correct too if he starts well and looks safe in the team.

Roberts has sub written all over him considering he can play inside mid, wing, half forward and now half back

 

[adammania9]

Tempering expectations on the kid which is wise. He’ll play round 1 up until he’s maxed his price, no doubt about it

 

[toxic]

Simpson will be gone by rd4 - not his call after that

 

[FAILTOSUCCEED]

They’ve been playing him off HB I think. If he has a good few practice games he’s in, reckon he can be a good scorer. He’s taken his fitness to a new level it sounds like. But yes definitely a risk, as are lots of rookies.

What's the 411 on Hunter ...re Windsor SC king

But mainly because Horse is a campaigner.
