Rookie discussions and when to cash

[RaisyDaisy]

Anyone know if Polkinghorne is a chance for rnd1?

Already been ruled out by Woosha

Herald Sun saying Oscar McDonald a good chance to line up round 1. 155k KPD but has the bloodlines of a good SC scorer, might be able to get a few intercept possessions at AFL level

Needs injuries to line up early, will start in the VFL imo

+1, and won't score well

What do you think his JS is like though?

Feel like one bad game could see him back in the maggoo's

I'm not picking him personally, but that's just because my structure doesn't allow it

JS obviously isn't great, but I think Roos will persist with him assuming his body can handle it (don't have the luxury of easing in with the vest as Brayshaw did last year). They know he is a first year and is going to be inconsistent, so it will probably take more than one bad game to see him out of the side. He can handle the senior bodies and the speed of AFL so he is ready to play, and playing in the seniors will quicken his development. If you look to last year, early on Brayshaw had back-to-back quiet, tough games against Sydney and the Hawks, and several quiet games at the end of the season, but he kept getting named, so you can probably use that to gauge how Oliver will go.

Surprised that we all have Gresham on the bench? He is a decent scorer i thought with 47 in a half the other day. Just wondering why not one team has him on field

Because I can't think of 3 midfield rookies cheaper than him that will line up round 1 :P

very good point haha

[RaisyDaisy]

Haha exactly

I had him at M8 for months, but once Mathieson and everyone else vanished I had to upgrade which moved Gresh to the bench

cause with my current mid setup he can't start on field

fyfe,danger,pendles,ablett,rocky,libba,crouch,mills

but will loophole him with mills. will use my floating donut

Your floating donut will be useless for the first 2 weeks given Melbourne play early & St Kilda play late. If there aren't any injuries, omissions, suspensions by then I will be very surprised.

i also have a donut at r3. petracca will start on field with me and will be my floating donut for menadue vs mills.

have a collingwood ruck as r3 so will use him as Vc loophole as will probably go ablett as VC.

but may even change petracca out for gresham. but i like the floating donut idea. but may backfire as others have mentioned

Are there any midfielders under 150k that are likely to play round 1 outside of Sam Kerridge, Jade Gresham & Ryan Davis?
