Forward Rookies 130 - 220k

[dmac07]

With so many expensive rookie types in the forwards but not many clear standouts who do people think are the best picks? Pick 1 to 3 options depending on who you are planning on starting. McCluggage, Knight are both under injury clouds but I dont know the extent of their injuries.

Obviously the standouts are Tarando and WHE in terms of their scoring ability and JS. McCarthy JS is also good but too expensive to have him in addition of Taranto and WHE and is kpp so scoring wouldn't be too up and down.  So the next best imo are Turner, Bowes and Florent. Heard on SEN that Florent will most likely play.

WHE, Taranto and probably Turner are the only 3 I'd consider from that list

The rest either have shaky JS or will be poor scorers or a combination of both

Taranto's JS has to be somewhat shaky too

Ive locked in WHE and have Simpkin at this point, just not sold on Turner having much scoring power but obviously lots have him going by this poll

I'm now leaning towards Bowes and Florent (maybe Turner) over WHE and Taranto.

JS is obviously an issue for basically all of these guys, but that extra 80k or so at the start is really handy to get some good premiums in.

200k rookies in the past tend to take a little longer to make cash, so leaning towards the cheaper guys.

I am glad mcCarthy is under the radar i think he will averaged at least late 70s and have some weeks we he kicks bags

[crowls]

Simkin if he starts, otherwise whoever else under 160k gets a start not starting whe or taranto.  will wait for ben long instead

Takes 6 goals for him to crack 80!

I hope he does as we really need someone kicking bags all the time at Freo :P but not sure he will average enough.

Would inflate to about 95 if it was 22 players and normal game time i would think , but he does need to kick goals

[dmac07]

So what i can take from this is everyone is starting Taranto? Do people think his JS is that good to start him at 200k? Im tempted but probably needs to play 7-8 rounds to hit a good price as an expensive rookie.

Confirmed starter for round one means that it's he's spot to lose.

Lids/Congilio/Whitfield all out until at least round 5 gives him time to hopefully cement his spot.
