2018 rookies

Any Geelong supporters got thoughts on O'Connor's JS? Could he take over Mackie's role?

Do we like Billy Gowers at all? Thinking of taking a punt on him over the Eagles lads...

I've got him over Venables.

Choosing between Murphy and O'Connor for D8, can anyone refresh my mind where each of them were actually playing in JLT games?
Was Murphy forward pocket and O'Connor half back running through the midfield?
Think I would take the half back if that is the case.

Think it comes down to job security & Murphy would appear to have first dibs on Charlie Cameron's position.

Happy to wait on Fogarty until Danger returns. If he does kill it and holds his spot, i'll just use a rookie correctional trade

Didn't he come in late when Tom Lynch didn't come up for the game?
Other than Danger who is going to push out O'Connor in a hurry? Especially if he plays half back.

Not really a like for like switch, there maybe times when Adelaide goes tall but I think Murphy stays if the situation demands a pressure forward. As for O'Conner, reckon he was a late call-up when Danger was ruled out, the elevation seemed to coincide with Scott's announcement.

OK. Cheers for the thoughts. Still undecided haha.
Murphy is playing my Bombers though and will probably bloody kick 5.

Will decide between Ryan and Gowers for F8 tomorrow. Reading what I am about Lachie Fogarty, wish Garlett wasn't locked so early at M10 so I could debate Fogarty at "F8" via Garlett too.

Footy time!

Read good things about Murphy's forward pressure (which Adelaide need with all their talls). Think he'll get a good run. Sitting at D8 for me.

Same here, hopefully he gets a few games and makes a sizeable amount of cash.

Feel ya! Was tossing up Garlett at F5 but threw him at M10 to open the DPP.

Yep, I'll give the little fella a run.
He played both JLT games. Only played 60% TOG for his scores so with more TOG could maybe score a few more points. Won't always kick 3 goals but hopefully do the little things to bump his score up. Only laid 3 tackles in the two games so hopefully improves in that area.

Main concern is the players to come in. Walker, Gibson and Lynch should all be back next week IIRC.

Gibson won't walk straight back in. hamstrings are rarely one weekers anyway.

Walker will come in for Fog, and if Murphy plays well, someone else will go out for Lynch if he's ready as we don't really have anyone in the team currently who can play the same role.
