Rookie discussions and when to cash

[Bully]

Won't be the biggest scorer though I wouldn't have thought, if he was 50k cheaper he'd be a lock.

Exactly why I am not even considering him

I think he has the potential to score very well, in one match at SANFL level he racked up 25 touches and kicked 5 goals. He can also play on a wing which will boost his scoring potential, I wouldn't be surprised to see him averaging 70.

Hate this point of the year where you've had a taste of some of the kids but not enough to make calls on them and you want to put all the ones that performed into you're side but then realize there's no point and you want the others to hurry up and play but you also want to know if they will play round 1 and ffs just name the round 1 teams already!  :-[

True Quinny think I have added some 10 players to my watch list after the weekend and not all rookies have played yet.  And some of those performing nicely on rookie lists to further complicate things.

Not the best first half for Hopper's career LOL

"Hopper in the negatives in both #SuperCoach and #AFLFantasy at half time."

Surely Hopper won't always tag? I don't think that's what he would have been drafted for.

no chance. They do it to help kids learn

Also note that Hopper had only 55% time on ground and his 3 F/a early did not help. So when analysing not as bad as it seems.

Yep. They do it to teach them where the best mids run to to find the pill, how they position themselves in contests to win inside ball, how fast and how far they spread etc etc, would've taught him a whole lot last night following Bont around

Iv been crossing rookies off of my list instead  ;) starting with the 2 Doggies backs in Adams & Collins, one can't kick and the other did alright 1 vs 1 but still a raw KPD who wouldn't have scored that well anyway and Eagles fans think M.Brown will struggle to get games over Schoefield & Mckenzie when fit.

which one is collins as according to the stats he had 90% DE and 72SC off just 10 touches.

haha obviously not the guy going at 90%
So Collins would be the guy who played well on Patton but still looks a little raw and is behind  Roberts & Hamling
Adams won't get a game judging from the Club Intra & nab1 if he can't hit a target by foot.
I wouldn't expect such a high DE% from Collins either if by some chance he does get named R1
Maybe ask meow what he thinks of these 2 blokes chances R1 he seems to be a keen Dogs man.

They all call Collins 'Dad' down at the kennel because he has a much older head for a 18 year old lol

how did you draw the conclusion off a 72SC game that the guy cant score?

I brought Collins into my team off that game (granted i didnt watch it)


The best one-on-one defender in last year’s under 18s championships, Collins didn’t lose a single individual contest and was rated by Champion Data as ‘elite’ for intercept marks and spoils.

Although the club lacked key position defenders last season, it fought valiantly to qualify for finals.

At 194cm and 100kg, Collins was a ready-made option.
