2019 Rookies

[Fid]

These guys might have half a chance of playing round 1 ? I don't know how they fit into best 22 though?

Robert Young - Stk

Taken with pick No. 67 in the 2018 NAB AFL Draft, Young is a speed machine who is renowned for his defensive pressure and goal-sense. The 23-year-old was part of North Adelaide’s premiership side in 2018 and impressed with Port Adelaide before joining the Roosters.

Shane McAdam - Adel

Initially selected by Carlton as a mature-aged pre-draft access pick, Shane McAdam was quickly traded to the Crows in 2018. A medium-sized forward, McAdam equaled Nic Naitanui’s running vertical jump record at the 2015 Draft Combine but was overlooked. He booted 31 goals in 17 games for Sturt in a superb 2017 SANFL season, catching the attention of Adelaide’s recruiting team

Young has played 62 games in the SANFL and has kicked 60 goals with an average of 10 disposals and 62 Champion Data points a match

Pretty sure McAdam is no chance at the moment. Can't remember what and where I read something about him, but I remember it being pretty firm that he is next to no chance of playing Round 1

Can't see both Parker and Young starting either - so just have Parker as the place holder currently

Rozee and Rankine cost too much, Petrucelle a decent chance but you wouldn't want him on field at all and Cavarra/Setters are not locks at all

I'll go with Setters F5, Parker F6 and Cavarra/Petrucelle on the bench for now. Not great, but surely 4 rookies get up

And you're spot on DEZ, it is a waste of time as we need to wait on rookies, but we're all SC junkies so it's a fun waste of time ;)

[RaisyDaisy]

Actually, I forgot about Dylan Moore - I just replaced Corbett with him

I heard he was doing well this summer, and just read that he is doing very well in the match vs Carlton right now too

Sam Walsh also looking very good according to observers at the match

McAdam is next to no chance to start for Adelaide, but McHenry is quite possible.

Julian de Stoop -
Big wraps on James Cousins internally @HawthornFC and was very impressive against @CarltonFC this afternoon

Shame he's 220k

Yep, sounding like Cousins and Worp will spend a lot of time in the mid

Another name I keep hearing out of Hawthorn as well is Harry Jones - several times I've heard good things, and as a 123k DEF he could be a saviour

Cousins is a jet. Jones is ok.

Jones spent a lot of time starting in the Centre bounces in the scratch game yesterday. Could be a defensive placeholder for now.

Blakely will play Round 1, already slotted 2 goals today after an early injury scare. 160k but probably wont score much. Better than no rookie

Buddy touch and go for round 1 and Menzel a few weeks behind him. Blakely premo fwd 2019

Yeah fair enough, just grasping at anything here lol, was hoping to start a couple of rooks in my forward line. AFL Fantasy and DT though not Supercoach.

Horse was asked about him recently and sung his praises but also said

"We're still mindful that he's only young and he'll still take time to build up physically so we consider that to be a priority for him. We believe he'll play some senior footy this year, not sure how much, but we're also aware that he needs to build up physically to withstand the rigours of AFL play"

Willem Drew apparently was very impressive in the Port/Adelaide U23 scratchie. Could be a RD1 chance with Wines out
