NAB Cup Player Watch and Rookie Watch: Discussion Thread

[FactHunt]

210k is an awkward price for a forward rookie

And a KPP type... looks handy though

[H1bb3i2d]

Yeah, I'm never 100% sold on these last quarter sub scores. Having such fresh legs when everyone else would be fatiguing, I'd be pretty concerned if an average player didn't score better than normal.

Cameron McCarthy...

started as sub first game and scored 47 SC in 1 Quarter (LAST QUARTER)..

Tonight killing it so far...anyone starting him ??

And tonight he's playing against a second tier side. I still only count 7 best 22 players there, and his opponent in Freezer certainly isn't one of them.

[Colty]

Anyone like this kid? He has plenty of flair and seems to be able to find the footy, $210k is an awkward price but watching him tonight I reckon hes def on my radar. I was really annoyed Swans didnt pick him in the draft but GWS look to have pounced on a ripper.

Lost confidence in S.Edwards tonight...swapped for Saad at this point

Edwards isn't really best 22 anyway.

Dalgleish anyone? $145,100 defender

Dalgleish anyone? $145,100 defender

The ball will be in the Dons def for most of the game but the ball will be sailing over his more than likely

I find this funny. So many people bouncing from player to player based off every single game

Only for a maximum of 2 weeks, if the leaks from the AFL to journalists are correct. 2 games we would have lost anyways.

He looked lively early but I stopped paying attention quickly. Defensive rookies are likely to come down to who is actually named round 1. Someone like Edwards could be a massive tease if the Dons are actually sanctioned. He could play 2 games, be average and then get dropped before he makes any cash if two week suspensions are legit

Mummy with 99 SC points for a half of football not bad,  Opposition though not much.  Would be a lock without injury worries. Has not played a full season at all in his career, Maybe worth a risk though if you can get cover.  With Phillips or Downie as the back ups they could occupy R3 depending who is named.

Throw in Rory Lobb, and who actually is his backup? :/

[RaisyDaisy]

Mummy has said that this has been his best pre-season. Hasn't missed a beat and will clearly monster out scores

I think he is worth starting for sure. Just comes down to $ for me
