2019 Rookies

[Bully]

Which DEF rookie is best to go early on, Hinge or Garner?

And who looks like being the best scorer out of the 2?  :-\

Didn't see Hinge so can't comment but I thought Garner looked really composed. Not sure about JS but he surely doesn't get dropped on that performance.

I wonder whose spot Garner is taking and who his competition is?

Seems to be playing a Riley Bonner type role although his defensive side seems a little more evolved. Probably need to get some feedback from the Port guys.

He is holding Burton's spot and he is out injured with a hammy

That doesn't sound good.

Will probably only last 2-3 weeks then before he's out...

Just finished watching the game on Kayo replay after working at the game.

Thought Garner was pretty well beaten by Sexton in the first half, Sexton was smart enough to utilise the inexperience to his advantage on a fair few occasions and caught Garner a few steps behind/napping. Did some really nice things though including a few intercepts & zoning off to spoil a few contests. Looked very good when sighted in the second half after switching opponents. Did fumble a few pickups, but nothing costly.

What I will say is that he has fantastic vision and composure with ball in hand. Is going at 91% by foot in the SANFL and was very good today by foot in the wet. Also tried his heart out & ran all day to impact defensive contests. Expect him to improve the fumbles in the dry. If he can learn quickly about being defensively accountable on intelligent AFL-quality small/medium forwards, he's a potential 200 gamer waiting to happen.

Mat's correct about him keeping Burton's seat warm at the moment. Although I wouldn't be all doom & gloom. If he can continue to play like this and show a bit, he suddenly makes DBJ a very nervous man, given he basically is a cleaner version while giving a similar amount of defensive grunt. Broadbent isn't an assured spot either. I would certainly give him another week before picking him up, but if he produces a similar performance next week, you'd certainly have to consider him.

Hinge as good if not better than Garner on the weekend.  I've also read that he is capable of drifting forward when need be which could help his job prospects.

As silly as it sounds... I'd be considering which guy fits your bye better seeing as you won't be trading them through it.

Looked very good against the Pies. Quick and agile and very composed.

have to downgrade this week to upgrade to heeney.   young seems to be best option available, unless geelong guarantee fort a run of games.

[Bones Bombers]

Baker to Young does look pretty good. Hate going early but may have 2 other downgrades available next week with guys like Hinge, Atley and Garner etc.

Allows me to go Scrimshaw to Lloyd and hold ZWill. With 51k left over.

[RaisyDaisy]

Young and Hinge are the two I am looking at

Think I'll pass on Fort - I imagine he will eventually be back out, has a crap bye, and moving forward I want two playing fwd rookies on the bench - sick of having just 1 and Bines

Garner/Atley from Port dunno, probably need to see another week from them

Oskar Baker seems a no

Anyone else coming up?

Who did Hinge come into the side for?
