A chance
He averaged 75s when he was fit so is a decent option if gets named
Unsure on js as priority would surely go with the young blokes

[gloryboy]

New options from tonight
Wigg mid
Otten def
Hampton def lock
Butler fwd

[Woppa15]

Can anyone offer up anything on Zac Guthrie down at the cattery. Been very little talk on this bloke. I didn't get to see it but supposedly had a ripper game last week from all accounts, where did he play? TOG?Do Geelong have any room on the list for rookie upgrades?

Cheers!

91 from 68TOG was impressive. 24 touches too from such short game time although 20 handballs

Not much talk about him because the consensus is he won't get games this year

Another defender tho

[Mongoose528]

Are there any other pure mid rookies apart from SPP that look like they are going to start R1?

Wigg looked good last night. not sure if will get a game round 1 but if he keeps up his form he will make it tough for selectors to leave him out

[BomberSam]

Updated list?

DEF
Should (Likely): McGrath, Keeffe, Hampton, Stewart, EVW, Newman
Could (50/50): Scharenberg, Hibberd

MID
Should: SPP
Could: Wigg

RUC
Should:-
Could: Cameron

FWD
Should: McCluggage, Knight, Turner, Bowes, Black, Miles, Durdin, Eddy,
Could: Pickett, Butler

Feel free to add whoever I am missing.

[RaisyDaisy]

Joel Smith from Melbourne is a maybe in DEF, but needs to be elevated

Freeman and Bolton are maybe's, and even though he didn't play yesterday I think Ryan from Freo is still a maybe

JKH as a forward option too. Not sure about Miles and Durdin though

[eaglesman]

That list is very hopeful

[RaisyDaisy]

That list is very hopeful

So we should just say no rookies will play?

Of course it's hopeful, but they're clearly the most likely in terms of being possible

[shaker]

I think everyone is just getting impatient waiting for R1 teams to be announced so they can finish there teams I know I am  ;D

Should we add otten to the could list? it seems some people are worried about whether hes best 22 or not but i think if we do see him in the team round 1 he'll be hard to remove, has a lot of talent

[Money Shot]

I had him in my team after a strong performance a few days ago but he (Otten) is no where near as good as Talia which means he would must likely have to fight with Hartigan for a spot and considering he played all but one game last year (I think) I see it hard for him to break into the side.

Brown, Hartigan, Lever
Laird, Talia, Smith

Looks like a pretty solid backline.

Kelly/Seedsman are possibly fighting for a bench spot and Otten is probably first in line if Lever, Hartigan and Tahlia get injured.

I may be wrong but That's how I see things from the outside.
