Position 2025 Rookies

[Jiska]

Rightio. As MT said, this week is all about rookies. Forget premos, pay extra next week. Cash gen is absolute key.

What are our must have rookies on the bubble this week?
Connor O’Sullivan
Jack Henderson
Murphy Reid
Nathan O’Driscoll
Xavier Lindsay
Mitch Knevitt
Elijah Hewett
Sam Davidson

Consider:
Levi Ashcroft
Daniel Curtin
Lucas Camporeale
Tyrell Dewar

WIP list.

Anyone interested in ned long? Maybe too many mid heavy corrections for most to consider him but the role looks solid.

Pendles will go from sub to starting 22. De Goey is in. Too risky at $200k and with a bye coming up.

Wouldn't be surprised if he's the sub

 

[stevebbb]

Bice named on the field. Very tempting.

Want to bring in a rookie early and he could be it

I'd be very cautious going early. You get 1 game, then a bye, then a heap of players are coming back from injury. If he was making cash this week there'd be a stronger case, but the fact you gotta wait until end of rd4 to see a cash rise makes him super risky.

I dunno what to do with Lashcroft. I reckon it's now or never. We'll have a few cheaper and lower BE options next week, so we'll probably lean that way. Grab him now for the Eagles match and likely bank a 70-90 score.

But I really worry about his place in the side. Cameron and Lohmann are auto inclusions. Bailey, Berry and Raynor are locks. Who does that leave in the forward half? Fletcher and Ah Chee. Both very important to their forward link-up and structure. Zero CBAs last week for Lashcroft, so he's not getting into that stacked midfield. Does he overtake any of the players I mentioned above? An early sub game will destroy his cash gen.

Lashcroft non-owners: thoughts?

I was always iffy.

Owners got some real KOTD action when Cameron was a late out and then they lost two players in game.

Nobody wants to mention he was on 33 at 3QT before a 50 point last quarter with the game completely on the line.

Can't take that away from him and he's a complete jet, but he may be one I'm happy to miss honestly.

He’s no Will Day, therefore

Umming and ahhing pity he is somewhat expensive and no DPP

Remember, Lashcroft could get FWD status too

Shout out to Camporeale who didn't score that well due to being subbed out, but looked like he did enough to earn a few more games

If he keeps playing he'll score at least 50-60 every week with the odd spike game of 80 or so. Should make 150k-200k.

I wouldn’t be moving heaven and earth to get him in just because they are playing WC this week. If you started with him, good luck.
I’ll be looking at cheaper rookie corrections following week. No trades this round for me.

 

[Cactus_]

Levi Ashcroft or Lalor if I can only fit one of them in?

Wait a week for mine. Yes you miss the WC game, but he has Richmond in Rd4 as a potential spike score.

Voss is making errors with the sub (among many things). Lord last week was going beautifully. Campo was doing fine last night.

Still better than 10 of my rookies from last week

 

[jdwood]

How much of a must own do people think Knevitt is? I took FOS/Tsatas/NOD over him. I need some change to go Garcia -> Smith hence why thinking about pulling the trigger even though I'd prefer to wait a week.

X Lindsay the other option.

Unfortunately Voss makes a lot of rookie errors

you never know with Chris Scott and the ToG is a concern but if I had to take a punt on one I’d go with Knevitt.
his performance seems more repeatable than Lindsay who had very high DE and 5 free kicks.

Gonna have a big block of games in the first half of the season, so plenty of cash on offer. Bruhn and Guthrie are the major competitors for his mid spot and they aren't coming back anytime soon. He could make way for Clark/Mannagh I guess, and they will probably want to get some games into Clohesy this year, but reckon there are others that go before him (e.g. O'Connor/Mullin).

IMO the only thing stopping him from making $200k+ by the byes is if he gets made sub, but if he keeps playing like this he won't be. That's the main reason he's so cheap - perennial sub candidate the past couple of years, but I reckon this will be his breakout season.

Good points ....Knevitt though had 11 tackles ....so it makes the Knevitt v Lindsay very much a coin toss, or fixture based decision

he won’t get 11 every game but tackle intensity is easier to maintain than a high DE or free kick count.

Think Lord was a mistake Rd 1, I feel like Campo last night may have been managing him a bit he's quite slight and young

You're probably right about Campo. I'd just prefer they rest him in two months after I've traded him out of my team.

Knevitt averaged a tick over 4 tackles a game at VFL level last year (16 games). Had 3 games where he had 9+ tackles, so this one was not entirely out of the box. Averaged ~90 Fantasy last year in the VFL (not sure where you get VFL SC scores). Kicked 11 goals as a mid as well, so can score too. In the AFL he tonned up against the Dogs a couple of years ago too, so has some spike scores in him.

I never really had him in calculations until now. Honestly I might grab Lindsay over him. Or Knevitt I guess.
