Title: Back Rookies
Post by: ubeaut on March 12, 2014, 06:15:57 PM
So who is there? Who has the best JS? Scoring potential?

Clurey - May get named but due to injuries

KK - Been injured

Cameron - looks likely for r1 haven't seen him in many teams?

Fuller - Was popular early  - apparently B.Murphy is ahead of schedule in recovery

Langdon - looks likely but a lot of fringe Pies about (Fasolo,Dwyer,Thomas etc.)

Langford - looks likely but lots of outs at Hawks how long will he keep his spot?

McDonald - people even going cold on him but seems like he is still the best option ATM

Cutler - KPP? Won't score that well is he fighting Goose Maguire for a spot?

Georgiou - Looks great but has he been upgraded? Will he keep his spot when others return?

Haha I didn't mean pick him but I hope he gets the spot over Brodie for XV reasons :P

But yeah if he plays Hendo's role, 100% worth a look. He was good in the NAB too.

Got me thinking SLIGHTLY haha

At this stage I think Langdon, Clurey, Langford and Georgiou are the best bets for 12k and below

Cant see Cutler getting games, but Clay Cameron from GCS a chance to play games so keep an eye out on him

Depends on how secure those 4 rookies spots are. If 1 or 2 plays a couple of games then see-ya later what then? There's no one to downgrade to cos u probably have all the available rookies already?

Conversely if Webster goes down or is an epic fail then u can downgrade to a rookie u may have missed.

Why is there all of a sudden so much love for Webster?

Is everyone getting carried away because of his NAB scores? Against the Doggies and GWS?

I'm not saying his a bad pick, I'm just wondering why all of a sudden his such a good pick?

I'm thinking of now running Suckling and McDonald at D4/5 because I reckon there will be 3 rookies quite easily who play early games

Langford, Langdon, Clurey and Georgiou/Cameron are all high chances to get games IMO. 4 of them plus McDonald, just need at least 2 of them to play each week.

Mate a lot of us would like to do that. I still think there is too much uncertainty with back rookies. Like I said earlier what if say Georgiou and Clurey play a few games then nothing for ages? It's happened before. Then u've got McDonald at D5 who has never played AFL and could get vested or even rested/rotated
That's part of the appeal of Webster with extra JS. Plus I only found out how cheap he was just recently!

I know Hinkley mentioned Clurey to some extent but would he get games in front of Trengove, Carlile, Jonas and Hombsch. And if so how many. Has Georgio been upgraded yet and does he play when Garland comes back in. Just playing devils advocate as i would also like to pick them  but their JS is shaky imo.

Title: Re: Back Rookies
Post by: RaisyDaisy on March 12, 2014, 11:12:54 PM
Yeah fair points boys. Getting named rd1 is one thing, but stringing games together is another

Maybe Suckers, Webster, McDonald at F4-6 with two rookies on the bench is the safest and most sensible option

Post by: Doggoneit on March 13, 2014, 12:32:25 AM
IMO

Webster is not a bad option - I downgraded to him last year - I watched his 2nd game , scored around 85 I think, but showed he has a bit of "class" - didn't turn out to be the best downgrade but I still rate him.

I also think Suckling could struggle to get back to his best - most players coming back from knees take a little while.

So if you need the cash and have Suckling at D5 or D6,  I think Suckling to Webster is a good downgrade for what I think will be similar points output and better cash generation

Is anyone else getting overwhelmed by all the rookies that are looking like play round 1  :o

Mcdonald, Martin, Langford, Langdon, Cameron, Clurey and Georgiou all look like lining up for round 1! Not saying many have JS but picking 3-4 of these guys could prove difficult!

Who would have thought that 2 months ago i'd say that!
Title: Re: Back Rookies
Post by: felsty on March 13, 2014, 03:55:53 PM
Easy to get sucked in. I only have room for two and some blokes won't get games. Cameron and Langford look the best for JS I would say but I don't mind downgrading Webster on the verge of Round 3 if someone else pops his head up
Title: Re: Back Rookies
Post by: shaker on March 13, 2014, 04:02:35 PM
Clurey and Lanford seem better value than Webster plus the saints have lots of injuries and suspensions to key players which could affect there players scoring , can always jump on board round 3 if he is flying

Don't like Cameron's JS at all really, he plays because Thompson and Tape are out injured, Thompson a good chance to play round 2, don't think Tape is too far away either
Title: Re: Back Rookies
Post by: felsty on March 13, 2014, 04:21:55 PM
I would have thought it would be more of a rearrange of the talls once Thompson is back. I agree with Tape though. Cameron is playing that 3rd tall who is flexible enough to play small type role isn't he?
Title: Re: Back Rookies
Post by: RaisyDaisy on March 13, 2014, 05:44:26 PM
I'll go with Cameron on the bench

Clurey is not in Ports best 22 IMO - at least Cameron has a chance to cement a spot if he plays well

Georgiou and Langford the other two I hope to get

Just another thought about Langdon as M10 DPP.
Mids....GAJ/ Pendles/ Beams ...R8 bye
DPP Langdon>Mitchell or McVeigh...no mid doughnut
What other R8 defenders do you have? Just McD for me...no def doughnut.

All of this is crystal ball stuff of course...Langdon may be dropped quicker than a hot potato but it could work out okay.

Done the same except Laidler over Clurey. As much as I wanted to go 123k or less on my bench having Martin or Laidler there makes me more Confident. Cause not confident on many back rookies even if they get named.
Title: Re: Back Rookies
Post by: RaisyDaisy on March 13, 2014, 11:24:28 PM
Help me out here guys

Cameron, Clurey and Langdon have all been named. Next week Langford and Georgiou are who I have my eye on, as well as needing a cheap M10, which at this stage Crouch seems to be the only likely option

I am fielding a rookie at D6, so I am thinking that because the 3 have already been named, I put Clurey and Cameron as my def bench, and pick Langdon as my M10. Crouch is likely to play rd1, but I really cant see him staying in long once senior Crows start returning, and Langdons DPP allows me to swing him around during the byes if I still have him by then

I then put Langford on the ground in D6 this week, and if both he and Georgiou get named, I pick one and miss out on the other. I would love to have Georgiou over Cameron as D8, but if he and Langford don't both get named next week, it will force me to make a change elsewhere to get enough cash and bring Webster in

What do you guys think? Or do I bench Clurey and Langdon in defence, pass on Cameron, put Crouch as M10 and then still decide on Langford or Georgiou next week.
Title: Re: Back Rookies

Wouldn't worry about Tape

Thompson hasn't played a game all preseason so he would have to be a while away

Cameron's JS is better than Clurey's I reckon. When is Carlisle due back? I reckon he would replace Hombsch and Clurey might be able to stay in as long as plays well

Title: Re: Back Rookies
Post by: RaisyDaisy on March 14, 2014, 12:25:59 AM
5 premo's, Michie, Polec, Ellis and Dunstan at M9

Passing on Tyson, as the money is used elsewhere. I really cant see anyone else other than Langdon or Crouch being options for me at M10, and I reckon Langdon has better JS

Langford/Georgiou as D6 next week, and locking Cameron and Clurey as D7/8 as they have been named. I can get rid of one of them and move Langdon to replace them, but then that means I have to go with Crouch at M10, no other options, and I don't want to have to rely on Crouch being named next week

During the rd8 bye I could also swing Langdon with McVeigh, play McVeigh on midfield, and move Langdon to def bench that week. Not a deciding factor, but handy bonus
Title: Re: Back Rookies
Post by: Ricochet on March 14, 2014, 01:07:47 AM
what are you using the extra money from not having Tyson on? He is definitely worth the extra coin. You're paying for his JS and Saints have a nice opening draw
Title: Re: Back Rookies
Post by: RaisyDaisy on March 14, 2014, 01:10:51 AM

i have had another look, still not confident on back rooks.

It has hurt my fwd line, but I think there are a few undervalued fwds that I can risk on.

Biggest question for me, do I keep Langford and Georgiou in my side this week, and just hope they get named next week? Think they are better options than Clurey and Cameron, or do I pick one of ClureyCameton in case one of those guys arent named?

Playing Langdon and McDonald as my other defense rookies.

Biggest question for me, do I keep Langford and Georgiou in my side this week, and just hope they get named next week? Think they are better options than Clurey and Cameron, or do I pick one of ClureyCameton in case one of those guys arent named?

Playing Langdon and McDonald as my other defense rookies.

In the same position as you. Have Langford at D6 and Langdon at D7. I would love to put Georgiou at D8 now but if both Georgiou and Langford don't play next week, I think were flowered, because Laidler, Cameron and Clurey wont be available to pick, so for that reason I have put Clurey at M10

Have kept Langford m6 and Georgiou m10... lets see if I can keep my balls and risk it.. as I think it will pay off it works. Worst case, downgrade caddy and get in webater

Hmmm, so you reckon we take the risk and go with Langford D6, Langdon D7 and Georgiou D8, and if one of them doesn't get named we downgrade Caddy to say Higgins, and then upgrade Langford to Webster

What happens if both Langford and Georgiou both don't get named?

Head.. brick wall... hit repeatedly


I can just see both those guys pushing 70s averages whilst clurey/cameron I see more as 50s averages, thats 20 a week if your fieldijg one.. plus 100-150k in extra cash, which is why im so tempted to risk it.

Very tempted to risk it too

Would have to be extremely stiff for both not to get named. Even if one doesn't get named then so be it, loophole donut is worst case scenario

I reckon I will risk it too, because I agree, don't see Clurey and Cameron being worthy options

Same position :P

I'm going to take advantage of the rolling lockout to see if these guys actually play the positions they are named in first. Plenty of teams put out a list and then you find people who were named on field actually turn up with a green vest on...
Georgiou is the only on who is covering an LTI so even though I see Langford as having the best scoring potential I reckon his JS is just as shaky as the others. Cameron doesn't tempt me, Langdon's bye doesn't help me, Clurey is the only of those three I would consider replacing Langford with. But I think Langford will be soooo much better if he can keep a spot... Big "if" though. If Clurey starts the game then I'll have a decision to make. Until then, fortune favours the bold.

I think I am going to drop Langford and Georgiou and bring in Langdon and Clurey for D7/D8, not willing to risk it waiting for next week.

I think you need to pick up Langdon or Clurey this week if you have both Langford and Georgiou. Too much risk to hope 2 rookies get spots... what do you do if not?

I'm taking Langdon, and keeping Georgiou. I don't like Clureys scoring potention. At this stage I'm crossing my fingers at least one gets called up next week or I'm flowered though.

Ive already got Langdon, McDonald locked in too. Its whether I pick up clurey now who has low scoring potential so I only need oneeofLangford and Georgiou to be named.

I just can't risk any rookie on field besides McDonald.

Cameron - JS? Scoring?
Clurey - JS? (Carlisle) Scoring?
Langdon - JS? Seedsman,Thomas
Langford - JS? Stratton,Lake,Sewell,Rioli, etc all would come back who misses out?
Georgiou - JS? Hasn't even been upgraded

Can anyone convince me on JS for ANY of these guys?

Reckon Langdon and Langford are pretty safe mate

Shaw, Seedsman, Williams, Thomas coming out of the backline for the Pies and only Toovey (off the top of my head) to come back in.

Guerra, Savage, Buddy, Sewell, Stratton, Lake, Rioli all out of Hawks best 22. Langford will be fine.

Cheers mate. But Lake Rioli Sewell and Stratton have to come back,no? Only Guerra Buddy savage are gone. Who misses out when they return?

Only need about 5 or so games to make a bit of money.

Ideally you don't need them on field which I think is the key.

Hmm.
Traded Daisy to Langdon in the mids and bench him > Put Ellis on the field.
Then upgraded Webstar to Enright. Georgio,Clurey bench.
DEF looks real strong now but don't know if i want to field 4 rookies in the engine room, looks real weak.

Agree

McDonald is locked at D6 for me now, with Langford and Langdon on bench. Next week if both Langford and Georgiou are named I will just take one of them and miss the other

I am off him. Poor JS, unless he comes out tomorrow and tears it up. With the Swans players to come back in, he will be one of the first to go.

Behind what? people with 5 mids are weaker elsewhere and the points are made up

Either way, lets be serious - the chances of actually winning overall are going to be something like 1 in 300+k

I am happy to finish with a good overall ranking and win my leagues
