2019 Rookies

[Ringo]

From a Brisbane perspective based on intra club I would say only Ely Smith from the new draftees would be chance,

From others that are rookie priced due to not yet playing Connor McFadyen, Jack Payne, Sam Skinner, Connor Ballandeen may be chances as well. 

Zac Bailey was another standout but at $275k may be a little expensive but has the F/M DPP. Think based on the Intraclub he would be in front of Lincoln McCarthy.  In the last intraclub he was also used across HB,

Had Smith plonked at M7-M9 all season. Kid looks like a jet.

I've been pretty dire about the def rookies, and have constantly said that we'd need to go deeper down back

I stand by that, in terms of cheaper rookies because I still think Burgess and Hore are the only two with a chance to play R1

But, it is starting to look like we should have enough of the pricier ones

Rozee, Collins, Logue, Quaynor and possibly Duursma are all looking good, and Darcy Moore (240k) is also a real option

I think we can safely place 3 of these pricier guys at D4-6 now, and Duursma/Burgess/Hore for the bench

I think McLennan from GC is a good chance as well. Kid can play.

I heard good things about Tobe Watson early as well but haven’t heard much since which isn’t usually the best.

McLennan and Watson next to no chance of playing round 1 at this stage.

For some reason McLennan is getting hyped because GC traded up to get him in the draft and really wanted him

That's what is giving people false hope. Just because they wanted him doesn't mean he just plays Round 1

I have literally not heard a single thing about him come out of GC all summer, so I completely agree with you Ben

Collins and Burgess are the only two Suns that are a chance

Agree McLennan next to no chance of playing.

Not even a mention in this article on Suns defence so quite a few ahead of him. Also interestingly Collins not mentioned either,

The coach stopped short of declaring Hore, an intercepting defender recruited from Collingwood's VFL side as a mature-age player, and Sparrow, a powerful 18-year-old midfielder, as chances for an early season debut, but revealed both were in calculations to see some pre-season action.

"Marty's a little more mature and he's had to find his way after missing out on the draft three times. He's had a really good summer and he's really emerging in our group and understanding the way we play," Goodwin said.

"Tom Sparrow similarly. He's come in, he's done the work and he's embraced what we do, and he's getting a great understanding of what is required.

"We certainly won't be putting pressure on our new players or our draftees to come in and play. They'll play when they're ready."

How many are going with Walsh? Pretty expensive, what would he need to average to get similar price rises to a decent low priced rookie?

You pick someone like Walsh for the js and consistent slow burn not massive cash generation

"CARLTON SIGNINGS

New Carlton recruits Michael Gibbons and Matthew Cottrell have now been added to Supercoach at $102,400. Gibbons is a MID only and Cottrell has DPP status as a MID/FWD.

Do these players make it into your starting team?"

I mean they're both 102k, so if they play round 1 they'll be in everyone's team ::)

;D don't shoot the messenger
Just passing on what i saw LOL

Haha yeah was aimed at the person you quoted ;)

Lol eff off mate, just because they’re cheap doesn’t mean you’re forced to select them. If they have poor JS then it doesn’t matter the cost, they won’t be worth it. Lachie Murphy 102k last year rings a bell, certainly better options about than him.

And just to be to clear, this is aimed at SilverLion, not the person you quoted ;)

Walsh looks like he will certainly be a really good player, but at his price you'd need regular 80+ scores to get that cash gen moving. A few sub 70 scores and it's disastrous, so for that reason I'm not starting him, especially because I'm confident I'll have enough cheap mid rookies to select

I think the McKay twin at North will get games this season, as he's touted as Thompsons replacement who should retire this year. So they'll need to get games into him. And now Tarrant has done a shoulder, I would put the house on it McKay will play Rnd 1.          Ben McKay $123k DEF keep an eye on him in JLT.

certainly one to keep an eye on.

EVW i think comes in for Daw and Tarrant is supposed to be back for round 1.

Durdin will be back healthy at some point too and put pressure on Mckay if he gets a spot and doesnt peform.

Forgot to mention Thompson's out suspension first two rounds, McKay is a monty.

Can happen to the best of them.  ;)

Just curious, do you have an insider at the VFL?
