2018 rookies

[kilbluff1985]

i'm just saying 37 disposals in the vfl isnt a good reason to expect phillips to do ok

[fanTCfool]

So what do you suggest we go off to determine whether a rookie will do well if not performance in the reserves?

Their first 2 AFL games? :P

That's all we really need to be looking at

I certainly wouldn't be penciling any rookie in for a future downgrade

Too late for me, as I didn’t have a pencil handy so used a permanent texter. No erasing that out!

[YoungGun]

maybe just an essendon fan wanting an essendon boy but surely Mutch JS has to be better than Ronke give we are shower and won't make finals, play the kids.

It wasn’t the only reason I gave for thinking he will do ok now was it..

One would think so, but there’s a certain Bombers rookie who looked good, only to get dropped after three games, currently sitting on my bench earning absolutely nothing! >:(

[MontyJnr]

Ronke or Mutch? Can't decide!

With other rookies popping up I might give both a miss and go with Spargo only this week. Allows me to get Crouch in

What other rookies coming up?

Ainsworth won't hold his spot
Ballard didn't look good
Eagles possibly for D8

I reckon this weeks group will be the best we'll have for some time

Ronke over Mutch for me, but I might grab both

Yeah I have decided I don't have the patience for a double downgrade. I need more premiums on field.

On the bubble Round 9: Scheer, Crossley, Keeffe, Eagles, Ballard
On the bubble Round 10: Phillips, Cumming, McCartin, Ainsworth, Ahern (maybe)

I'm happy to take a punt that at least 2 of those guys will prove themselves to be worthy pickups over the next 2 weeks. Options always tend to pop-up, despite how grim things seem now.

Things basically turned to **** even when we thought we had a sure thing in Guelfi & Mirra, so I won't be dropping everything for Mutch/Ronke. Who can say for certain that Ronke won't be dropped for Hannebery or Buddy in the coming weeks anyway?

As a Bombers fan I have no faith in the coaches decision making at all. Bagul ey,Tippa and Daniher should all be dropped and Guelfi,Clarke and Ridley should be given a go. Mutch looks good but so did Guelfi and look how that turned out.

That’s what I’m afraid of, but Mutch suits my structure/plans more than Ronke. I can’t afford to have any non playing rookies though. Like a lot on here this year, whatever decision I make will probably be the wrong one! ???

Mirra not even an emergency >:(

[GoLions]

Mirra not even an emergency >:(

Yeah he wasn't great in the VFL last week. Was good, but not a game that would demand selection. 21 touches iirc, not a huge impact on the game.

[sammy123]

Mirra not even an emergency >:(

Think its going to take an injury for him to get in

[Samsturmfels]

I cant decide who to get in, would prefer to get in a def or mid because if i get ronke ill will be forced to play him (already have spargo), however im really uncertain on applebys js (with langdon and maynard to come back) and dont know much about Mutch. Thoughts?

Or a Sicily suspension :-X
