[King_Steele]

Young Sid Draper still with last years back issues being managed
tog could be a problem if these carry over into the year.

Hmmm might have to go Smilie over him if that’s the case. Back injuries can be dangerous

Would anyone who has been keeping up with training reports/news mind making a list of rookies that are looking a chance for round 1? Cheers

Why isn’t Smilie in more teams?

 

[Maybe Tomorrow]

Why isn’t Smilie in more teams?

Personally I've got Smith and Draper, just to stop me spending the money. Sounds like Draper isn't a goer so will swap at some point.

Will be when Draper eased in

Draper out, Tsatas in.

Draper out, Tsatas in.

$191k mid only, hmmm maybe. Would need to see a good performance in R0 to pick him. There will be better, cheaper mid rookies imo.

Something has to change, his kicking makes Timmy smirk.

 

[Tredrea_Wanganeen_Gray]

Todd Marshall potentially out for the season. With Dixon retiring I can see Port playing Lord, Georgiades and Lukosius but I think Whitlock will definitely get a look in at some stage. Ken has played young keys in the past for multiple weeks. One to watch.

Training reports are very encouraging. Definitely a strong watch.

 

[FAILTOSUCCEED]

A lot of WB supporters have Davidson in R1. A VFL young gun, may play HF or even wing at times they think.

$113k FWD rookie watch.

 

[Makeshift Park]

Dees fans, I realise its ridiculously early, but any sense of whether Lindsay, Langford and/or Spargo are thereabouts in your round 1 team?

 

[BuckleysBrigade]

Rookie JS (amongst other things) killed me last year.

Anyone picking a team based on having all the expensive rooks safe in the knowledge that it’s easier to trade down rather than up (assuming some low price rookflesh turns up)? Thinking all of Lalor, FOS, Smillie, Ashcroft the Younger, Moves Like Jagga and Travaglia are lockable. V tempted to take this route in 2025.

I suppose the counter argument is that rooks might be less important to nail this year with a billion bye rounds (B18) and the flex player?

Interested in how people are playing it.

Agree, the expensive guys often have better JS. Also 2nd/3rd year players that haven't played yet often last longer.

Cash gen is even more important this year as we need to get an extra premo. My plan (lol) is no stupid sideways moves in the first few weeks, only (probably stupid) rookie corrections.

FYI Ashcroft Jr had surgery and isn't in full training yet, not sure he's a lock.

I think it's a fair path to take, makes sense, but paying so much on the bench is really hurtful to the team. You basically end up with a premo less. I reckon I'll stick with mostly cheapies on the bench. Happy to take 1 or 2 expensive players on the bench if they're required, but no more.
