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?
Jack Henderson
Nathan O’Driscoll
Xavier Lindsay
Mitch Knevitt
Elijah Hewett
Sam Davidson

Consider:
Levi Ashcroft
Murphy Reid
Daniel Curtin
Connor O’Sullivan
Lucas Camporeale
Tyrell Dewar

WIP list.

Is it really worth collecting all the rookies this week?

Bice available next week plus Clay Hall and Ted Clohesy potentially even bigger must haves on the horizon

Gotta take the rookies when they come. No guarantee CHall and TClohesy will be there next week and beyond. Rookie lotto...

Clohesy had an 80 point 2nd half.
Hall scored almost 40 SC points more than his AF.
Anomolies?

Tommy is a good kid and deserves his opportunity at AFL level. Life has not been easy for him. Have watched him grow up over the years and chatted to him a few times at the club.

Hopefully he is interviewed after a win on Thursday night and says "F**k Hinkley"

 

[Maybe Tomorrow]

Imagine going into the season with Prior, Paton, ZReid and Trainor...

And by round 4, 3/4 will likely be gone...

Disaster...

Yeah that would be awful, what dumb arse would do that?

Pfft, what losers. Not me...



O'connell instead of Paton

Trainor is gone this week. No way an intercepting rookie from Richmond scores well this year.

Negative breakeven, good JS. He's an easy hold IMO, would trade Prior (if dropped) and Paton before him. If you don’t have either, congrats – do what you like.

O'Connell looks safe. Doing all that's been asked of him as a rookie defender.

Hall had 14 contested, the equal most on the ground for either side. The lock of locks.

Yep, one will go, depending on selections this week. 4 D rookies is a bad structure I need to fix. No Paton, luckily.

O'Connell looks safe. Doing all that's been asked of him as a rookie defender.

Must be magic once he gets the ball. 42 from 4 touches 20 disposals = 210 game for him

 

[stevebbb]

Yeah that would be awful, what dumb arse would do that?

Me too

I'm going to have used 6 trades by the end of round 4 and most would be on defenders

 

[SC fish]

So you're saying there's a Prior opportunity

wasnt much alternatives to be fair

 

[stevebbb]

wasnt much alternatives to be fair

Yeah. Just wish I only took 3 def rooks.

There's some lucky bugger out there that took COS, ZReid, and then one of the spuds that they can correct to Bice next week.

I've had to bring in SDK at D5. Trade out Paton. Trade out Prior or Trainor tonight. Trade out the other next week for Bice. Brutal.

could be worse and have short at D5 like me

 

[stevebbb]

That's a bad thing? I'd kill for Short at D5. I already regret trading in SDK. Short will be fine, just forget about him until his bye then flip him.

Wouldn’t read about it… checks SC app… wait, hang on a minute

If it makes you feel any better, the current leader has Reid, Leake and Trainor. But yes D5 rookie is a structural mistake. I'm fixing that this week one way or another. Even if I have to miss a Henderson or Lindsay type. There's not such thing as a must have rookie and no need to get them all.

D5 imagine having him at d4 with 2 spud rookies at d5 and d6 lol

My D5 is now Freijah and am very happy it is so. Lots of cheap spud traps in defence this year.

No I was being sarcastic (altho short is my D5)

If it makes you feel any better the current ahem bigfooty group leader ahem has Reid, Leake, Trainor and Paton.

 

[McRobie]

Surely Woewoeful and Sharp go before him

Im just not sure of their role, is it like for like?
