Rookie discussions and when to cash

[Mat0369]

Suckling could play on the wing. They are missing Bob and Johanissen from their 22. I'd say he is fighting for a spot with Adcock but he seems to be playing Sucklings role swinging between HF and HB

People freaking out about no back downgrades...Collins from Freo looks very likely to line up this week and would say his JS is better than Williams...although it is Lyon.  ::)

Yep Williams is certainly not a defender rookie must-have with Collins coming through as well.

I think people who can't afford Hopper are trying to convince themselves that Williams is a great pick. I reckon Jong's suspension saved Williams from omission this week and I expect him to lose his spot once Jong returns.

I reckon instead of hopper jump on mathieson early. Then Collins next week. surely someone else will pop up in the next 2 weeks.

Could be a goer, although Brissie have had horrible luck with injuries, you'd hope it doesn't happen in this instance if you were to jump on early!  ::)

What concerns me about the beast is his attack on the ball.  Couple of times he was holding his jaw after hits and he is returning from a fractured jaw so will be watching and this is putting me off this week.

[RaisyDaisy]

Would just be holding his jaw just to make sure it's ok

Only natural for him to worry about it

Yeah, I broke my nose for the first time last year playing footy, never needed surgery or anything, but I still give it a little twist at least once a week.  ;)

[Capper]

I keep changing my damn mind on Hopper and Williams

Williams JS was and is the concern, but now that Bev has come out and said he was impressed with him vs GWS and will be playing this week even with Boyd, Suckling and Adams returning I'm thinking this guy might be a must with the lack of upcoming downgrade targets

As for Hopper, he would be very handy to have over the byes

Cant settle on a decision just yet, but now thinking double downgrade to grab both is the right play this week

you are not alone. I have $420k cash and want to do a double down grade this weekend as well with DBJ and Menadue to Williams and Hopper.

Have you seen his "attack on the ball" though  :P

I think Adcock is more likely to get dropped. Hasn't looked th goods and age has got the better of him. LB is all about youth and speed!

skipping hopper and getting rhys next week and that freo def week after

People want to bring a rookie defender in after one game? A rookie defender coached by ROSS LYON? :o

Collins could be dropped after 2 weeks and Pav sent to full back with Lachie Neale at centre half back for all we know #whyyoualwayslyon

They said they will get Collins in 2 weeks time - so when he is on the bubble

Williams this week, Matho next week and Collins the week after sounds good to me
