The Playing Rookies Thread 2017 Edition

[HappyDEZ]

Who to field from these rookies.
Got 2 spots, with 3 players in mind.
Play Otten and Berry,
Otten and Barrett
Or
Berry and Barrett.
Who do you all think?

Play Otten and Barrett

^yep

[GoLions]

Anyone think Pickett is a chance of coming back any time soon?

Has not even been mentioned in the last 2 weeks in the magoo's in the best players so I would say not

I'm keeping him anyway :P

Not worth trading for like a 50k gain atm for me. Carrying Eddy as well, however I do believe he'll play more games and get over 200k. With everyone else either playing this week or just missing with injury/illness (e.g. Balic), not too fussed about Pickett.

[plumdog millionaire]

Since round 6, Berry has attended the second most centre bounces behind Rocky.

Taking the punt on Mutimer, pros outway the cons in this one.

Say he gets 60 odd should go up 50k or so which is more than Eddy and Pickett have done in 7 rounds.

JS couldn't possibly be as bad as theirs, especially given he had a minor injury early in the week causing him not to train Monday but nevertheless get himself up for tonight's game.

Nice bye too, will be playing in the two weeks that not many other rookies will be.

Can loophole him this week due to Friday night game.

Can still bring in Myers next week if he seems worth it.

Only possible cons are that he spuds up and doesn't make much $$$, or that he gets dropped soon which both IMO are as likely with him as they are with almost all rookies this year.

Just my 2c.

It's a reasonable gamble, only needs to play up to round 12 to be a good investment. The danger is he gets dropped over the bye period, in which case you run the risk of donuts.

Starting on the field which is a good sign. WCE are winning games should hold his spot for a little while longer

DPP plus a new deal means they obviously rate him. In

Have ended up going with Mutimer over Berry purely due to byes. My round 11 is too full as it is

McInnes is looking good. Round 12 and he has FWD/DEF DPP

Just what everybody needs, hence why he'll probably play next week then get dropped for eternity :/

He's a puurrrfect replacement for Pickett. If named next week he's in.

[Mat0369]

Probably a better replacement for Newman personally. He can swing forward during the byes which makes him really valuable if backs up.

Possibly, will assess things next week.

Was thinking Marchbank miself.  He looked excellent tonight.

[sammy123]

he helped in the ruck so some HOTA would boost his score nicely
