Redden/Giles vs midfield rookies

[jamesalex]

how do Redden and Giles compare to rookie mids? im tossing up between a rookie ruck structure and a 3 rookie mid one.
the top rookie mids for me are:
Shiel
Magner
Mcdonald

for me the next best are one of the dpp forward rookies (eg Smith/Kennedy/Pffeifer) and Ledger.

will Redden or Giles score better than them? if so, surely the rookie ruck structure is thr way to go?

Not too sure about Redden, Giles will be the 2012 Zac Smith, Shiel is a gun, and I only see him and Coniglio atm averaging higher then Giles, but I wouldn't be suprised if Giles tops the GWS averages.

What happens when Brogan, Lobbe and Renouf return? Even if these guys stay in the team, their scores will suffer.

Brogan is at GWS.

The problem with the rookie ruck structure is that it means you have to have Stephenson in your team.  To be honest I dont really like his chances of playing too much.  Therefore your wasting a position in your team for a player who will only play few games.  This means yours missing out on a money making oppurtunity, because a mid rookie is almost certain to make cash quickly

Brogan is at GWS.

Pretty sure Giles is at GWS too. When Brogan comes back in it will effect Giles' scores.

Very interesting thoughts here. I reckon Stephenson should make enough cash though, at least until Dawson Simpson or Nathan Vardy are back. Simpson scheduled out until rd 7, is that good enough?

quite true,, but normally R4 is/has always been abit of a dead spot(in regards to cash cowing)
also u dont have to take stephenson, im sure there are others umm  longer/ jenkins/rowe  (dont know whether they'll get much game time)  but just has an example
