Think he's well aware and taking the mick.

5 expensive rooks named for Blues vs Saints that most won't jump aboard, but anyway - Coffield Clark Marshall Dow O'brien.

EDIT; I missed Pickett named aswell.

Pickett is $256k and was pretty rubbish last year.
Garlett is named on field, so that’s a good sign. God I hope he plays well .

my bad.

haha, I meant Garlett, hope he don't score like Pickett did. Don't want another one.

paddy Dow > Will Brodie

I think so, got the feeling he'll be the pick of all rookies.

Makes sense that he and LDU should be the best scoring rookies given their midfield opportunities at respective clubs. LDU did not impress tho, could have had an off day interesting to see how he goes next game.

Got to cut these kids a little slack - it's the first time they've ever played against AFL players

Agreed but knowing your selection history I’m guessing you not going near LDU?

RD prefers the UDLs iirc

Yeah I don't like starting the expensive rookies simply because history suggests they don't make as much money as the cheaper rookies, and if they do it takes longer

Mills was the only expensive rookie I've ever started (Cockatoo at 170k next best) and I was forced to start him simply because that year there was flower all cheap rookies that lined up Round 1

LDU didn't look that bad? I was actually pretty impressed with him and am far from ruling him out

He'll be good for the run. 2nd most CP for North just had wayward DE, clean that up a bit and lay more than 1 tackle and that'll go up.

What are peoples thoughts in these two guys? Brodie should get games, could Dow be a kind of McGrath type year?

Poor disposal and 1 Tackle is what worries me with LDU.

Rookies are known to be inconsistent, if he isn't tackling he isn't getting the banker points. He has an off game disposal wise, number or accuracy and he will be scoring 40-50.

If he was getting 4-5 tackles, there is 20 points banked. A poor game would then be 65-75 rather than 40-50

It was blowing a gale in that game so that could explain the DE a little. I'm sure he will tackle more in the real stuff.
Will have to keep a close eye in the 2nd game

Which rookie mid do you see will get the most game time and points? Personally I'm a fan of Dow and Brodie as they are the most likely to play and look like they will score big, especially brodie
