The Playing Rookies Thread 2017 Edition

Yup, everyone will be batting 7 deep in the midfield.  Jaeger and Swallow probably come into a few more teams.

That's what I've just done.. Doesn't look too bad actually. Might be able to get away with having Swallow and O'Meara in the team for a while

[eaglesman]

Swallow M7 for me, non playing rook M11 (really handy forward dpp or cousins from Hawks)

Obviously still rolling with witts r3?

[RaisyDaisy]

I've had Swallow at M7 all aliong and now this forces many more to do the same  >:(

I'm sure at least 3 rookies will pop up come round round one to fill out our mid bench, with SPP on field

[jfitty]

With Swallow at M7, who do you lads have at M6?

I have been playing around since the Meyers injury news broke and atm have Fyfe at M6, O'Meara at M7 and Swallow at M8.

One to consider with M/F DPP as well

[RaisyDaisy]

Yep, have had Fyfe at 6 and Swallow at 7 for a long time

Long time = probably not thaaaat long. Since I decided to pass on Beams and Murphy

[Mat0369]

I've had Danger, Pendles, Hanners, Sloane, Fyfe, Murphy, Swallow and Myers for the last few weeks with Bowes on the bench.

[frenzy]

five rookies to start on field round 1 isn't too much to ask, is it??     ::)

Yeah, had Swallow m8 for a while now myself, but looks like this will be closer to the norm now rather than the exception

[Money Shot]

Swallow at M7, Powell-Pepper and 3 DPP rookies on the bench hahaha

NAh. Rolling with a pretty strong forward line.

[_wato]

Pretty risky team all over but. Hodge and HH and Jobe at M6 as well as Sandi lol

Means I can have Roughy F4 tho

[Ringo]

Power mid-forward Matt White is a week by week proposition with a calf injury @AFL

Yet another to go down.

With the pool of mid rookies decreasing is any one looking at Dom Sheed for only $267k.  Admittedly a few of Eagles Stars did not play but he looked impressive.  Probably one to keep an eye on. Swallow and Sheed would not be the worst M7 & M8.
