2019 Rookies

[quinny88]

Also Saints just picked up Johnathon Marsh ex Pies guy.

Very interesting. Carlisle down and Roberton 50/50, would be rookie priced!!!

Would be hard to say no to a 100k guy at D8. It may mean I go with 5 rookies in defence if he's named round 1

Might help with sorting out structures etc

Lol as a Pies supporter I can say right now Moore will take majority of kick ins.

Plus this is what has me excited about Moore regardless of kick outs.

Averaged 18 touches over the 2 JLT’s, had 7 intercepts marks and led the Pies for rebound 50’s with 13.

Why is Moore the better option for kick-outs?

Because Howe is a fantastic aerialist and great field kick, he’d be better utilised as the next option to chop open zones. Crisp is better used as a link up player if we go the short to utilise his speed and awareness and Dunn is old as heck, I’d rather him be standing the oppositions best forward in case of a counter attack.

Don’t even get me started on Maynard’s kicking and langdon better used elsewhere.

Have to agree with Wato..... Dunn is the biggest threat but I think they are going to want to give Moore a chance like they did in JLT. It's really Moore's role to lose.

There's really not much risk with Moore at his price

If he turns into a bad pick he's an easy downgrade to a missed rookie, or even a Ridley/Robbo/Hanley type if they look to be killing it

His DPP with Burgess giving you cover on both lines and potential upside due to role is quite attractive when the risk is low like it is.

If he was 300k different story maybe, but 240k is not a big gamble all things considered.

Kind of agree but it's finding 40k to upgrade Collins which is the problem. If Robbo is out he's the logical choice.

There's enough options down back imo. The forward line is a mess, so I've had Moore at F4 behind Greene for a little while now, and Burgess down back on bench. Moore at F4 kind of relieves me of fwd worries too for now. I'd rather 3 def rookies on field then 3 fwd rookies on field so it seems to be working well for me atm

Don't think you need to stress about one line or another, you can switch that up if the need arises.

I dropped Mundy for Moore (now my F4 behind Heeney) and turned Collins into Clark, which gave me enough cash to turn Hind into Dusty and the team looks so much better (plus get to use DPP between Moore and the slow burner emergency Burgess).

With news about Robbo I'm also bringing in the Moore/Burgess double act. The extra funds can get Dusty up to Fyfe.

ZClarke could be a fair chance for early games now with Daniher out for 6 weeks as well

That would surely just firm McKernan's spot as a forward and pinch hitter though, right? I don't think Clarke's a capable forward...?

Yeah I'd think so

Daniher was out last year and that didn't help Luey at all so I doubt it helps Clarke

+1 really helps Mckernan and being a Bombers fan I hope they continue last year’s 2nd half form into this season.

Are people still picking Hately in addition to Walsh/Cousins/Butters as the expensive mid rookies? Tonned up in JLT1 but didn’t fare that well in JLT2.
