He is a terrific shot at goal ;D

Only one game lads, and only had 50% game time. I'm not holding my breath, but not writing him off either

Probably not a huge thing, but Lowden has an Achilles injury and wont be available for rd1 at least, so that can only help Reilly's chances I guess

Unfortunately not picked for NAB 3

With Jenkins in the side why do the Crows need to pick another ruck to give Sauce a chop out?

Wishful thinking I would have thought.

I've seen this suggested twice. The answer is: because Jenkins isn't doing much chopping. Guys. 2.8 hitouts a game in 2014. 2.8. 13 of his 55 hitouts for the YEAR were in one game - when Jacobs was subbed out early injured!

Jenkins is a forward.

Unlikely to play, but is the most likely of all rookies to play.

As an Adelaide fan id rate him a 5-10% chance.

We aren't saying Jenkins isn't a forward, O'brien won't play unless Jenkins or Sauce is injured. Otherwise he will need to replace Jenkins in the best 22, which i can't see happening.

One week to go... And still pondering over my R3...if a rookie is named it becomes an easy choice, if not you either save coin and go with 2 set and forgets or get a fwd dpp such as this fella with TBC... But what if you don't want TBC?... is it worth getn a ruck dpp for an extra 9-15k to give an option later if TBC is killing it.
Atm I've got a 102k R3 with about 15k to play with...

Am also struggling with my rucks but have decided to go with Nic Nat and Luey and Belchambers (suspension pending) as cover. Just can't see many if any rookies standing up to be safe enough cover throughout the year.

Cant see Reilly getting any games

Collingwood play a lot of early games so I wont pick Cox. I'll prob just put McLaren at R3 unless a cheap option comes out of nowhere

Ricochet · March 27, 2015, 10:05:38 AM

I'd be looking at the GWS boys Downie or Phillips
