2019 Rookies

[Fid]

I had Hore at D6, ahead of Wilkie and Burgess

[SilverLion]

Might be bringing Hore back in lol.

Well played. D8 for me

[ubeaut]

I traded Hore out after Round 1 and I'm completely fine with - was the right decision imo

If anything, it's worked out well because I now have a downgrade option next week, where as those that held him don't

Obviously I'm using a trade, but that's standard and required when downgrading and I brought in Wilkie for Hore so that got me another rookie who is making cash

Who to dump next week for Hore and Stack will be the tough decision, because I really don't want trade guys that haven't made much as it's a waste to only net 60k or so when downgrading - need to be getting more than that

Might look at someone like Drew or Setters if they have another stinker

Yeah would like at least $100,000.00 from the downgrade so Setterfield (if spuds it up) to Stack might be the best bet.

If you are stuck with a potato like Balta though then you'd probably trade him out for one of Stack or Hore as well.

Balta only needs one big game, can't see any reason to trade rookies who are playing.

Only needs 1 big game, but how is that happening? Richmond are severely depleted  and he can't get near the ball at the best of times. Plus he is straight out when Jack is back. Wish I never picked the spud.

I've made 4 trades in the first 2 weeks but still kept Hore :P I was going to trade him this week but the late in saved him.

He looked good but there's no doubt that his JS is still shaky, he could be pushed out any week due to matchups.

What rookies are on the bubble next week?

Hore
Lockart
Stack
Clarke

Anybody else worth considering?

I am strongly considering Zac Clarke - he's a spud, but it means moving Bines to F8 and I think being able to use him to loop the trash fwd rookies each week would be a big bonus and worth it

I figure he is gone once Sauce returns

At least McKernan is out for 6-7 weeks so might give Clarke a chance to make some $, then trade him back out later and move Bines back to R3

Don't go there, all the talk from the Crows is that Sauce is an important player and they can't wait to have him back in the team, he'll probably come straight back in next week despite the fact he's cooked.

Clarke is an interesting one but could be a very clever way of offloading one of the under perfprming forwards. Like this suggestion but he'll need to show a fair bit on the weekend.

Is there a chance Hore just gets dropped again next week when Jetta comes back in? He played well and the team won which always helps but just wondering what his chances are of actually stringing some games together

Zero chance, played a top game.

I'm still likely to pass on him

I'd expect him to be in and out, and take too long to make cash

Jetta, May, Lewis all returning soon enough - KK too

+1 - which is not helpful to me having gone Hore => Wilkie

Up to you but I saw a player who could easily cement his position, particularly given Melbourne leaked goals in the first three rounds.
