2019 Rookies

I might go Petrucelle over Parker tbh

Having Parker as a slow burn downgrade/correction option a few rounds in might be handy

Not even a contest between the 2 imo. Ya just know the Ferrari is gonna hit the scoreboard this weekend. 3+ goals coming up. Watch.

Someone will have to when JJK and Darling get shut down

This man knows

That’s hilarious

I think SL and GL are referring to when JJK and Darling have sat down after they have 10 goals between them ... probably half way through the 3 term

Such a typical bias WCE supporter response, honestly.

If your mob get within 10 goals then you should be very very proud of your team.

I think that West Coast will get up but I'd take a bet that Brisbane will be within 10 goals any day of the week. That's just blind arrogance.

Bewley and Schultz in the frame:

Is Bewley a must have if he gets named? I had written him off due to low minutes in the JLT thinking he wasn't in the frame but if he gets named that changes everything as he was the mid rookie I was most keen on all pre season

My concern would be quite a few rookies have already been confirmed for rd1, whilst Bewley is only "in the frame". Even if named, JS can't be great...

This

[RaisyDaisy]

We need to make some calls on which rookies we field, and which ones we bench

DEF: Collins, Scrimshaw, Clarke, Duursma, Burgess, Hore
MID: Walsh, Butters, Hately, Constable, Scott, Bewley, Hind, Atkins, Gibbons
FED: Setters, Drew, Balta, Parker, Petrucelle

Assuming they all get named, who do we field, who do we bench and who do we pass on?

Pass: Scrimshaw, Bewley, Parker, Gibbons, one of Hind/Atkins
Bench: Burgess, Hore, Hind/Atkins, Scott, Constable, Fettucine, Duursma/Balta

Field the rest (or at least i am)

Freo playing the last game on Sunday though so they probably aren't having their main training session till today. Plus it's Ross Lyon so he's never gonna be clear on it lol

DEF: Collins playing lock down with Thompson injured worries me at the price in terms of scoring.
Scrimshaw JS is a real concern with Clarko
Burgess scoring will be poor at best
That leaves Duursma, Hore and Clark as locks for me, and I'll have pick one of the others.

MID: Walsh and Butters on field for me haven't decided the 3rd. Gibbons is a tempting price, but a small fwd role at Carlton isn't great for scoring, and there's plenty of other options, so I'll pass and see how he goes, downgrade rookie correction trade if needed.
Bewley could be great given he's mature age, but do we trust Ross and his TOG?
Constable and Scott are in for me, and one of Hately/Hind/Atkins.

FWD: Setterfield and Parker the only ones I'm confident on.
Drew has Wines coming back. Petrucelle has Cripps. I'm taking the punt on Balta and one of Drew/Petrucelle probably Drew.

[tommy10]

I’m thinking to field:
D: Clark, not sure on Scrimshaw over Duursma for this week. Think the ball will be down back quite a bit for Hawks so he may get the pill a lot, but the crows fwds will pressure him. Thinking Duursma this round
M: Walsh, Constable
F: Drew and Setterfield, thinking Balta as well but will need to bench Drew, and not sure I want to bench him...

Yeah I'm having trouble deciding on Balta or Drew on field, at the moment I'm leaning towards Drew.

In mids I've decided to do something different and have Scott on field over Constable.

[smashbox]

I’m very nervous about Balta JS. Lynch probably only needs 1-2 games before he can pinch hit in the ruck. Then Balta will be the first to go.

I see Petrucelli as having better JS as he takes Le Cras spot

I think JJK might be doing a lot of sitting during the game! Gonna struggle to register a stat though.
