Rookie discussions and when to cash

[frenzy]

So Beveridge was on the radio just now and they asked about Adams he wouldn't confirm his debut but did say he is a good chance to play this week.

Plays Sunday too, may make the 25, but still get cut. Not ideal.

[jfitty]

Jed Lamb named too.. Just ditched Milera for him.

Knee jerk time!

[meow meow]

Corey Ellis will be fine, he'll be played as much as possible this year.

but what do u see him averaging seems like 60 is his peek to date

Given a proper run at it, I could honestly see him averaging around 70-75ish. Might be a tad generous, but I've done a complete 180 on the kid and really rate him now.

60 at best.

[supercoachhelp]

Not sure who to start on feild
currently have mills, oliver in mid and kennedy, kerridge in fwd. I have menadue at f7 but should i start him in mids/fwds or keep bench?

Haha, Jed's a terrible scorer, lol!

I predict teams are about to go "full panic retard mode", haha!

I hope so but the reality is he hasn't been overly consistent over the past month, in fact he's been very outside which doesn't bode well for SC. Personally prefer Bennedy, Cocky & Milera in the same price range.

Is Menadue a must have with all the lack of mid rookie options.
We're gonna have to lock him in before knowing if Gresham, Keays etc. are named in the final 22.

Is it better to just lock in Menadue than run the risk with a Gresham who's no certainty to be named?

Lock in Menadue, whether that be forward or in the mids. Bottom line is we have nothing like him down at Punt Rd, I'm pretty certain the club will play him as much as possible.

Best scenario is put Menadue on the forward bench and put the E on him, if he tears it up then use a loophole player eg. Cocky or R3 swingman.

With Broad out I'm wondering do I risk it and hope Adams gets named, or do I find some cash and lock in Weits? Had Weits in from day 1 but dropped him for Dea, however I now have 4 bombers in D (Dea, Brown, Hartley, McTip) and no certainty all will get named... I reckon best thing is to get Weits who is playing, otherwise if a couple of bombers and Adams don't get named I'm already flowered!

Well you will know if the others are named before tomorrow's game starts so no need to panick just yet

[Gigantor]

If things get desperate is anyone considering Polkinghorne at M11?

Should have rock solid JS, reports said he should be training this week.

Yes Essendons early draw isn't very loophole friendly but I'm talking about desperation here!

For the record the only other cheap mid rookies who, imo, have given any indication of playing are:

Petracca: Poor loophole draw, 6 weeks is a long time

Mathieson: Could be 6 weeks on the sidelines + 2 in the NEAFL

True for the bombers but Adams is Sunday so won't be confirmed until it's too late...

One from left field = Anthony Morabito (Hamstring) 1 week

Morabito is on the rookie list  :(

[auscoyote]

Morabito is on the rookie list  :(

shower :(, I failed to remember that :-[

Thought he might of been part of the new Ross's plans. Having him off HB and swinging A.Pearce fwd if/when Tabs doesn't improve.

[RaisyDaisy]

I have seriously got no idea what to do now

Where the hell do I field Menadue? Can't decide if M9, F6 or F7

F7 with the E makes most sense, but I want McCarthy and Tippa on fwd bench

Doing my head in

[kilbluff1985]

Menadue vs Carlton should be on field IMO
