Rookie discussions and when to cash

[Raiden]

Lee = Spud! (Yes, i traded him in)
Jansen = Risky, not worth it.
Trengrove = Let's wait & see
Beast Mode = Surely will be back now?
Austin = Looked good actually in his 2nd game
Phillips = Wait & see
Stewart = Look's "OK" but JS is shaky with Hodge due to return soon.

Trengrove is the only one really on my radar atm, beast mode if named again.

How much is Conca?

ooooo (retracts question)  :o

Not a rookie.....but Trent McKenzie at ~200K around the byes for cheap and potentially decent back coverage?

Could be a handy option for D7 considering most of us won't have the luxury of having a really solid option there due to all the carnage of this year

Being stuck with Brand and Lee on the bench, Brand to McKenzie for 50k or so looks quite tempting

Good pick up there! Scored okay in round 1 but just hasn't gotten it going, few injuries along the way.

Might take a look at him after their bye

Def like the idea of Brand to McKenzie for 40k or so

Gilbert, Mackie and even Harry Taylor at the 300k mark might be decent D7 options too

So far liking the look of Tom Phillips
9 disposal,5 tackles,6 CP's at 1/2 time on 44

It would be nice if Smith can at least reach his BE.

Decided I'm grabbing him regardless

Will sit him at M11 for the rest of the year, which will allow me to swing my F8 (Currently Petracca who I will upgrade to Dahl later) into the mids when needed

Phillips coming in after his bye. 

Hoping Stewart gets named for his 3rd game in a tougher match vs North.  If so, I'll take him at basement price and hope that he gets named regardless of performance in R14 against the Suns.

Reckon I might actually pass on Jansen now and just grab Stewart instead to save the extra 20k. Both have the same bye, and after the byes pass I won't need to field them moving forward anyway so makes sense to save the 20k

Have decided that my current mid bench is all going out (Hopper, Davis and Dunkley) and I'll replace it with Trengove, Stewart and Phillips

Trengove at M9, but Phillips' DPP means I can always swing in a prem forward for mid cover too. Sinclair at F7/R3 and Petracca (currently F8) will turn into Dahl eventually meaning Hall becomes F8 who can swing on field and into mids via Phillips

Quite happy with that plan :)

Risky picking a player who has known attitude/commitment issues, but worth a look.

How about Rose in the forward line?  Scores of 63 and 73.  Injuries and soreness mounting at the Swans.
