2018 rookies

[Bully]

Another to keep an eye for defensive rookies today.

One positional change for today's #JLTSeries match against the Swans: Payne into the starting side and Christensen to the interchange. Good reports on Payne but probably a trade down option as difficult to see him in starting side with Hodge to come.

Good start Ringo, things looking up in defence.

It's now the forwards that are looking particularly thin  :-\

Poholke is the last remaining hope.

Prepare to be disappointed

You don't think he'll get a gig?

Not at this stage, too many in front of him, if any Crows cheapies were to get a gig, it would be Murphy, played well in the intra club earlier today from all reports too.

EDIT: And Doedee too, of course

Fritsch and the Eagle rookies are all we might have

Really hope Ahern, Dawson etc get a run in JLT 2 although it's likely unlikely

Maybe Keefe as a forward. Need Garlett to get up too

You're likely unlikely

I’ve only just found out Dawson has been niggled all pre season, they haven’t said much as a club but doesn’t look great

[RaisyDaisy]

Ryley Stoddart seemed to have done quite well by all reports yesterday

Another 117k def, giving more confidence that we may be able to go light down back from D4-8 hopefully

I love the panic. Enough rookies will pop up on every line. I'm not worried yet.

I don't think anyone is actually panicking

Yeah there will be enough, but we want quality, not quantity, and that's the concern

It sure reads like panic.

First people were crying foul because of the lack of defenders and going light in the forwards, and now everyone has backflipped and is fearing the worst for forward options.

Just saw a tweet

Bailey Banfield a standout for @freodockers in the first quarter #secretderby

[Levi434]

Miers looking like a sneaky fwd option. Take him over Fritsch.

[SilverLion]

Lock in Kelly for Rd. 1.

[Levi434]

If Kelly wasn't at M8 for your team before today you were dreamin!
