2019 Rookies

[Goosey]

Ross this week, Hately next. Still don't have much cash in the bank, rooks still fattening and haven't had to make any trades that put cash in the bank.

Ross v Baker  :-\

Tempting to grab both if named

[RaisyDaisy]

I'm now thinking about passing on Ross

Reason being, Atkins and Gibbons have cash to make and Scott hasn't made enough to trade yet

Also, Clark and Burgess are the two rookies I actually want to get rid of because the latter in particular is horrible and both have increasing BE's now

I can actually squeeze in Clark to Lockhart and Burgess to Kelly/Billings/Daniel and I think that's actually the best play for me

I'll have both Hately and Hayes available next week and could dump Atkins and Scott for both of them if need be, and even if Lockhart doesn't get games it's not like who he will be replacing in Burgess is going to be  a big difference, but with the short break and their poor form there's every chance Lockhart will get games soon enough

Basically, it's Scott to Ross and hold Burgess or Burgess to Lockhart and pass on Ross (Can only get 1 of Hately or Hayes next week too)

Reckon I'll pass on Ross. He looks good, but with the likes of Hately Hayes etc coming through he's not a must for me and dumping spud Burgess is the better play I think, plus I squeeze another weeks cash gen out of Atkins and Scott then trade them next week

[Mat0369]

Yup. Hately makes Ross meh. I feel more comfortable starting Hately on field (which I'll have to do) than Ross so I'd rather wait a week and then make that move

What about Young if he's named again? Only 18k more

[RaisyDaisy]

Yeah Young is also another option but I need the extra 18k to get Kelly ;)

Young and Caleb is back up - and we'll know tomorrow if Lockhart gets named

I expect them to both be poor scoring options, but alright for D8 at this stage. Can't be worse than Burgess lol

I need to get a mid rookie this week, is Hately worth getting early over Ross? If I get Ross, I'd have to skip Hately.

Get Hately

Depends who gets named, cash in the bank versus speculative cash, trades are valuable and we must make cash from them.

Get Hately

I'm really scratching my head here, Hately is 30k more expensive, he's not even on the bubble & he has Caldwell ready to take his place the moment he slips up. I'm not against the guy because I'll probably pick him but Ross has looked super comfortable & is averaging 21 possessions. From my perspective you take the guy who's ready to earn money & then reassess next week.

+1

Hayes might be better than both.

[Goosey]

Hayes might be better than both.

Might be, we need another week to see, meantime Ross makes cash.

[jfitty]

Can we also have a minute to worship Sam Walsh? 3 tonnes in a row, now up to $410k. Only downside is that 2/3rds of the comp selected him so it all counts for flower all

Amen! <200k trade to Neale in a few weeks looks delicious :-*

He said if he gets Ross then he cannot get Hately, meaning he can only get 1 and from those 2 I would easily take Hately

In terms of mids from last years draft I'd only have Hately behind Walsh and possibly Smith (SC wise). Big bodied mid with SANFL experience, and with Ward out I expect him to get a good crack at it now.
