2019 Rookies

Anyone know much about Sydney Stack? Thinking of possibly getting him, however I haven't seen him play yet

He's very good for a 2nd game 19 year old, however with Cotchin and Riewoldt coming back from injury in the next month, as well as the need to bring Garthwaite in for Balta because Balta will get towelled up playing as a key defender vs Sydney, his spot in the team is vulnerable.

Okay thanks m8, not sure if I should get him or not. I could get hore back in aswell. I was thinking of trading butters

I'm still stuck on the Hore vs. Stack conundrum...

If I get Hore, I can still get Ross next week without having to trade Scott. I honestly might decide based on how well Scott scores. If he scores well, I'll get Hore so I can keep Scott for more price rises. If he flops, I'll be trading him to Ross next week so I'll just get Stack this week.

Part of my Hore vs. Stack problem... If I get Hore, I have bench cover for the forwards in Burgess vs. a donut for any late outs. It also means I'm not forced to trade out Scott next week if I want to get Ross as I can trade out a forward rookie instead. Then there's also the fact that Hore has his 86 in his rolling average for two weeks whereas Stack has his 108 for only one price rise. And finally, if I get Stack, I still have no DPP flexibility in mids so I rely solely on mid rookies coming through instead of rookies from anywhere...

But then I want Stack because he's basement priced and scored a bloody 108 his first match!

I'm getting hore now for butters. Allows me to play duursma in the midfield to cover constable and I'll go a defensive rookie to Ross next week and swap duursma back in the midfield

Felxibility is key. It's why I am likely trading Butters instead. Means I can play Rozee forward and hopefully avoid Balta.

If Charlie is "rested" on Monday - does he come straight back in?

[oh_lol]

Damn, no FWD rookies to bring it...Noah on field :'(

Has done nothing wrong this year. Surprised he is being rested this week but cats like him and he'll be back quickly.

Gee Scott really not getting into it again :(

I'm dumb and that's not how my team would look at all. The only difference Stack vs. Hore gives me is I either have to field Hore/Clark and move Duursma to mid bench, or I field Duursma (if I get Stack). So it's a matter of Duursma on the mid bench giving some small flexibility or not. I'll surely be going Scott to Ross next week after another poor Scott performance so it doesn't affect next week either... And Stack's cheaper which might be enough of a difference maker.

Where has it said that Constable is getting rested?

Cats and Hawks teams don't get finalised till Saturday afternoon.

It was all but confirmed in a press conference today by Chris Scott. Said something about him being rested either last week or this week and that his performances have been really good to date.

He's a young player we need to get through the season so that was a priority for us, even over and above players coming back into the team.

It was either going to be last week or this week, and it's not a reflection of his performance because he's been going really well.

Thing is you could always move Duursma back next week for Clark who is probably going to get a rest that week anyway. I will probably do something similar next week by trading Rozee, moving Setters forward again and bringing in Ross. It will depend how Parker plays and if Rozee has topped out now

Petruccelle you magnificent SOB!!

100 points, will go up 36k and have a be of -6

Will have to find someone else to trade out next week :)

[tkringle]

Glad I kept Setters now. Allows me to swing him forward to get Petruccelle’s ton as well as covering Constable with a DPP such as T Kelly

He will score 19 next week, so make sure you don't field him  :P
