Rookie discussions and when to cash

Trengove debuting this week works out nicely for a Smith/Hopper/Davis downgrade in 2-3 weeks time

Not ideal timing, round 14 is a massive struggle for me already - Melb have the bye that round also.

Would love him to debut a week later, Smith to Trengove for round 13 would have been nice...

He's a lock downgrade for me. Should average around 70-80 at least. If he comes in and scores well I'll consider a Libba >> Trengrove swap

Yeah lock for me round 13 when Smith has the bye. Only thing is that his round 14 bye means that Ill just have 18 players unless I do some more shuffling around

Would be an idea to wait for teams to be announced.  It has been confirmed that Jarrad Jansen will make his debut for Lions so who he replaces will be interesting.

Hmmm, is it safe to say that Mathieson has strong JS or?

Maybe Keays may get a rest but who knows. Mattho has had only the 2 games. It may be a cease of rotating the three for the rest of the year given all 3 are playing first full season.

[Raiden]

Ok cool, if his named tonight then his in my team.

[BoredSaint]

oh man.. the Trengove vs Jansen debate will be interesting.. Rd 14 vs Rd 15 Bye but questionable JS for Jansen.. OH WELL HAVE TO WAIT AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS ::)

Edited to fix

It's time for Brown to go. Still have Adams in the team too so can get in either rookie fwd or def. Any thoughts out there on best options for rookies? Looking at Lee, Williams Tucker. Or is it worth waiting a week with Brown's BE not being huge and getting in Collins? I don't know much about him and am worried if i wait that will have missed the boat on the other 3. Any other suggestions out there?

Cheers

[BoredSaint]

I doubt Tom Lee will play on Sunday. Hugh Goddard named at CHB and Richo is pretty keen on blooding the youngsters. Go for Tucker for better JS IMO

Like many others I would like to get a defender downgrade this week.
I pulled the trigger early on Collins last week so he is not an option.
With the poor expected JS of Williams/Tucker/Lee is anyone else considering Oscar McDonald?
He is $183,900 and has the best JS of the lot. (Scored a 68 last week as well)
I know he is 60K more but is that a fair price to pay when my biggest need from him is purely Bye Cover?
Anyone else think it may be the right call to pay a little more for hopefully some security?

Grabbed him last week at 155k as i thought he had the best JS of the lot. Was pretty happy with his 68 as well. Not sure i would grab him at 184k though.
