NAB CUP PLAYER WATCH AND ROOKIE WATCH: DISCUSSION THREAD

[Ricochet]

So yeh, I'm taking out GAJ... No idea who for though

Yeah gotta take him out, don't really want to spend the $$$ but have to go Rocky now!

Already have Rocky and Barlow. Thinking maybe Beams

Barlow not exactly 100% himself. :-\

Yeh all reports were only minor though. Hopefully he plays in NAB3 otherwise I might look elsewhere

no love for Sheppard? at 166 off 167%

[SydneyRox]

pretty sure he was playing mids and they have a couple to come back in?

[LF]

Nah he was playing off the backline which is where he will play during the season

[SydneyRox]

thanks LF.... that does make him a more attractive option. He is just so awkward @ $359

Too awkward and hasn't done anything in the past to give me confidence as I'm a West Coast supporter.  Hope he proves me wrong for our clubs sake though! :(

Matt Suckling anyone? Might be finally back in business!

Edit: There's also some rookie options down back starting to pop up, anyone thinking 4/0/2 now?

[Mr.Craig]

Suckling too risky for mine.

Which rookies are you thinking of because I still feel uneasy about 4/1/1 let alone 4/0/2. :-\

Really? I think he's a safe 80-85 which is looking hard to come by down back

Goodes and Smedts, no locks my any means but just two options I've got, thats leaves a
4/0/2, 5/1/2, 0/2/0, 4/0/2 structure

[Mr.Craig]

Goodes needs to be elevated and Smedts isn't even named for the game tomorrow so there's still some hurdles to jump for those two.

As for Suckling, maybe he'll give you the 88.7 he averaged in the first 10 rounds last year or maybe he'll give you the 68.3 he averaged from that point on. I guess it's just a small thing but he also has a terrible recent record against Geelong too with scores of 71, 54, 60 and 18.

I wouldn't rule him out as an upgrade but I'm not sure I'd be happy starting him.

[Money]

Smedts not being named tomorrow has me scratching my head but surely Goodes will be upgraded

Yeah that second half was terrible, even if he could meet in the middle of that and go 80 would be half decent! Thats fair enough, just having a look around for potential D4's
