Polkinghorne is a pretty average plodder to be honest.

Connor Blakely named for Freo, 30 touches in the WAFL last week.

If you guys HAD to bring a rookie in this week, who would you go for? Petracca? Tucker?

Leaning towards Tucker,
But Tim O'brien is on the bubble for hawthorn, could make some money till roughy comes back???

Not too interested in O'Brien, don't quite think his scoring ability is there.

Was thinking Petracca initially, but with the next few weeks in mind it might make more sense to go Tucker this week, get another look at Smith to trade him in next week, then Petracca the following one. Using the other trade each week for an upgrade.

Fair call, looks like he'll have to kick a bag to make any sort of impact.
My only thing with Tucker is with Ross still as coach, who knows what he'll do. He doesnt have a history of playing rookies consistently??
I am definetly leaning on the side of leaving Petracca up my sleeve for a few weeks to downgrade someone like Mills and upgrade to a couple of premiums

This is a big worry.. But Ross did say in an interview before the Carlton game that Darcy hadn't played a game for a few weeks, but still got picked for them. They must rate him quite a bit, especially now that the season's shot

and there is a defensive opening with Johnson out for 10 weeks! i think ill take a chance on him, worse case he can just warm the pine for me, sets me up for another downgrade and upgrade next week

[BoredSaint]

Yeah with Tom Lee not being named, have to bite the bullet and go with Tucker a week early.

Lets me maybe get Peter Wright next week and then upgrade someone else

Then Petracca in the week after and potentially another upgrade (cash permitting)

[lucky]

My plan was to trade in tom lee however he has been omitted, is it worthwhile to get in DBJ at 200K(if he goes up anoter 100 or 150K, the trade will be worth it) or wait another week for tucker?
