The Playing Rookies Thread 2017 Edition

[Ringo]

and from Rocket Eade

Rocket says that Bowes and Ainsworth will push for Rnd 1 selection. Brodie mid-year, and Scheer and Scrimshaw at the back end.

So we can scrap Will Brodie.

It would be super awesome if some of the comments could be consolidated into the original post.

Or the list of rookies organized into
-R1 likely starters
-later in season
-probably not this season
for each line

Are we going to have enough DEF rookies to go 3 premos and 5 rookies?

I'd be very surprised is Bowes and Ainsworth were not locked into the Suns Round 1 side. Both are extremely talented and ready to go. The more experience at the top level the better for both of them.

Similar questions get asked every year and rookies always pop up.

But we won't know for sure until round 1

I can put something in the OP, but speculation continually changes and the OP would quickly be outdated again

This thread will probably have 1000 replies by seasons end so just need to keep up to date with reading it :)

Lists like you've asked about will get posted by myself and others throughout this thread as the days go on, so just keep abreast of this thread :)

Fair enough :)
I guess views are always subjective too!
Here's my 5 DEF rookies for R1 action
McGrath
Griffen Logue
L Keeffe
T Stewart (GEE)
Mitch Hibberd

Will he get a game round 1 though after missing that much training in the lead up?

He probably wouldn't have played anyway tbh

Yeah I dunno what Ringo thinks, but unless he lit up the pre-season games and others didn't/got injured, I'd probably have him just outside of our emergencies.

[RaisyDaisy]

A lot of the media types had Berry starting round 1

Would have to be super impressive to start now after this set back

Round 6-7 debut would be beautiful, nice downgrade target

Anyone think Jake Kelly is worth the extra 30k over Keefe, Scharenberg and Hampton?

no, unlikely to break into the team without an injury and then will score similar at best.
