NAB Cup Player Watch and Rookie Watch: Discussion Thread

[meow meow]

Doesn't Goodes still need to be promoted off the rookie list?

You should probably know that Libba has done his ACL and is out forever!

Do you think, if promoted, he is a lock to play round one?

I was skeptical but I have changed my mind. He looks more likely than not to be be in, and if/when he gets upgraded it will be confirmed that he's a starter. We won't upgrade him just for the hell of it.

You have to wonder, they delisted him last year, but then picked him up again. At his age, surely they wouldn't do that just to have him play in the VFL? Perhaps McCartney wasn't a big fan and Beveridge is?

If lambert lines up in rd1

Gotta be sub i reckon

F6 is looming as a major problem, think I may pick Gray instead of a mid and rely on the likes of Vandenberg, Ellis-Yolmen & Boekhorst to fill M5-M8. At least with Gray you know he'll be a top 6 forward.

Watched the replay of the Adel and Port game today and rethinking leaving Gray out.   Likely to avg 110+ continue on from last year. 

Didnt think much of van berlo and if he is used as tagger again then not willing to commit to him.

Very Disappointed in Swan.    Will also have another think about wether to start him or not.   If i was a betting man I would say bontempelli will outscore Swan this year

Ben Reid played in the VFL on the weekend and he'll play in the backline and kill any scoring potential that N. Brown may have mistakenly stumbled upon in meaningless matches.

That's possible, but then Reid will just get injured again shortly after returning anyway, probably while running through the cheer squads banner  :P

Watch a Collingwood replay, he runs around it!

Reid is going to have to go forward as the Woods fwd line looks like very ordinary without him.

Anyone else thinking about bringing in Hertier in their side?.. Averaging a ridiculous 120 over the nab games. Anyone know whether he will keep playing that same position(s) that he has been playing in the past 3 games?

He has trained in that position all summer and has dominated in it for all 3 NAB games - he's in my squad, I just can't leave him out

HL was already in my side and now all you other buggers going to jump on my POD.

I have just made the change - Swan to Bont. I'm not sure how long until I'll swap back but I like the cut of young Bonts jib

wow thats ballsy man. Think I could only go 3 even if another does pop up. Saad may only get games while Jaeger and GAJ are out, which will only be to rd2-3

Saad depends more on Lemmens then Gaz/O'Meara, he is playing the small defender role that Lemmens played all last season. Miller is going to rely on either of those guys being out. I would rather use the cash elsewhere considering the defenders generally produce the least amount of points

Yeh sorry I meant Miller. Still far too risky starting rookies at D5 imo

Whats the extent of crouch's injury. Couldn't find anything about it
