Name 1 rookie in each postion that is a LOCK for u...

I'd rather pick a floating donut at D8 rather than N.Brown   :o

Mid, Def and Fwd locks same as Rico and RD

I don't get why you pick a floating donut at D8 over at least a brown ... Sure he will score meh but surely some cash generation is better than nothing ? Interested to see why u choose this path? Only reason is(and I don't agree with it) is to save initial 44k ?
Brown willMake more than 44k

I was taking the piss to a point but I won't pick Brown, he is a spud and won't make any cash. He has no use whatsoever if he averages 40-50. Would rather take a speculative pick on a rookie like Shaun Edwards than a proven potato.

40-50 is better than a donut, especially through byes

This has been my point about Brown for a while, he will make a small amount of cash but hardly enough to justify a trade. Most will effectively be stuck with him all season.

As a case in point, based on an average of 50 he will be 237k by round 10, a profit of roughly 90k, and that assumes he will play every match. There is even a chance he'll earn less than that given he hasn't even scraped in a 50 average for 3 years.

Those who are still intent of playing him at D6 need a reminder of his scoring in 2013 where he started with scores of 36, 38, 57, 46, 58, 56 & 30. Coming back from injury I certainly can't see him suddenly setting the world alight.

I just said Brown for now because the lack of options, but like AK said if there are enough rookies that pop up in defence I'd rather take a shot of them then Brown, and I will

I'd only start him if I thought he could make enough cash to get rid of him before the byes, which history suggests he won't. Will be a similar rookie pick like Rohan from last year.

Why do you have to upgrade/downgrade him? There are no other rookies back there so you can't expect all of them to make cash. Brown is the best D8 available imo, and he can stay there all year if he has to just to chip in when needed

As I said earlier it is a new idea and if he plays all year and you only need an occasional score from him as D8 then it has some merit...one position that you won't need to burn trades on...the flipside is there will be limited cash generation to improve your side through that D8 spot...if no other cheapies become available I may end up doing this too....not my preference but atm the rookie I've got as D8 is a hopeful pick at best.

Can't lock anyone until round 1 teams are named but Goddard, Lambert and Hogan are the 3 from their positions that haven't left my team from the start

[Footyrulz]

D: Saad - Most likely to play, bargain basement price, should score well.
M: Lambert - It looks like there will be several forward rookies, so I'll get one in the mids. Lambert looks like he'll be the Sammy Dwyer or Lewy Taylor of this year.
R: R/F
F: Hogan - Won't average more than 60, but very good JS.

Ditto...

I am also thinking of replacing Clark with Saad

[jfitty]

Very wishful thinking here, but there's a chance that Brown could have a very slightly different role from a few years ago which might slightly improve his scoring potential.

With the emergence if Jack Frost, there's every chance he will stand the oppositions best forward instead of Brown. Then with Keeffe down there as well, perhaps Brown will play as the 2nd or 3rd tall, and get a few extra touches?

In the NAB Challenge game against Hawthorn he had 12 touches (91% efficiency) for 62 SC, I'd take those sort of numbers any day. Roughead didn't play, but Frost took Gunston and Brown had the resting ruckman.

Again, very wishful thinking here. But perhaps 10-12 touches and a few marks at a decent efficiency isn't out of the question. Particularity at D8 with his job security in mind.

N Brown
Vandeberg/Freeman
R/F
Hogan

Clark and Ahmed Saad are not rookies

Pls explain how Clark and Ahmed saad are not rookies but Nathan brown is?

[redfield]

Hogan and Freeman are about the only two I'd consider locks but even then, I'm concerned that Freeman could be a perma-sub.
