The Playing Rookies Thread 2017 Edition

Berry is only 147k. JS looks decent, any Brissie supporters want to shed some light?

Averaged 25 for the first three rounds and managed to lose money at $139.8k

Surely that's enough to stay away? With all the big guns going AWOL this weekend, someone had to do something and looks like Berry picked up some of the slack. Not sure he can keep 60s up.

Berry was given the task of running with Brad Ebert on Saturday and restricted him to less than his average. Fagan seems to give youngsters a specific task to increase their learning by playing on better players.  Ben Keays was given the job of running with Polec.

Not sure on Berrys JS though as he might be rested due to being first year player. Expect hime to keep the position this week due to his efforts in following coachs instruction last week.

Is anyone else really concerned by the lack of potential Defensive rookies to downgrade to?

Otten, Hampton, Marchbank all pretty much peaking and there's no playing rookies to downgrade to other than McNiece and Melican this week and with Parsons and Black also on the bubble and Nank out there's some issues there.

Easy fix. Upgrade them!

EVW this week as well. Downgrading Hampton to him and upgrading Marchbank. Can keep Otten for quite a bit longer, think he played better than his score suggests.

Well... if I fast track my mid upgrades I may end up with Pickett, Parsons and Eddy with F6 duties.  LOL... okay time to think about that. ;D

Heck, maybe Parsons is good enough.

Essendon champion Scott Lucas says the Bombers could look to include David Myers in the team for this weekend’s clash against Fremantle.

Myers has spent the last two weeks in the VFL and after collecting 35 disposals on his return last week; he picked up 27 possessions and laid nine tackles against Werribee on Saturday.

Lucas said Myers’ extra strength around ball could be important against key Fremantle onballers Nat Fyfe and David Mundy - who were both kept to less than 20 possessions against West Coast on Saturday.

“You look at [David] Mundy and [Nat] Fyfe … they were really well shut down by the Eagles midfield … look to see perhaps David Myers who has been in good form in the VFL, a big bodied midfielder, he might come in to add some midfield depth there,” Lucas said.

Ambrose and Mitch Brown out for weeks even though they play different roles i like his JS more

SPP to Myers looking good.

[Mongoose528]

SPP to Myers looking good.

I might hold SPP actually. He has a 97 in his rolling average, and he is available during all 3 byes.

Hampton -> Myers next week for me

As the big 100 will be out of his rolling average by then

[shaker]

SPP to Myers looking good.

SPP to Myers looks risky seeing he has not played yet and his history
