2019 Rookies

[Bones Bombers]

Looking at picking between Joyce and Wilkie for Collins, wether its this week or next.
Checked their JLT stats and Joyce looks to be pretty much  the same as he was Rd 1 while Wilkie hardly got on the field. Would be interesting to know why Wilkie was played so little in JLT.
Watching the first quarter of yeterdays game it looks like Joyce is playing on the taller forward and Wilkie the smaller guy. Am I right there?
Does this move Joyce out when Brown returns?

The general consensus is Joyce will be replaced by Brown. Wilkie would have been pushed out by Roberton but seems as though he will have a chance to cement his spot.

Thanks MS. Cant say I know much about these guys.

No trades should happen this week in my opinion. Wait a week and see how everyone goes. If Collins and Balta both score 80+ this week and Wilkie and Parker go <50 you’ve just wasted 2 trades.

And don’t trade premiums, esepecially after 1 round!

So I shouldn't do Libba to Rocky/Sheed???

A rookie for your watch list who should get a game in the next week or so. Curtis Taylor MID/FWD $117k

Probably not... but how tempting is it??

Just imagining if I'd started Rocky and Sheed instead of Crouch and Libba makes me so sad :(

Anyone watch the Hawks vs Crows?  I decided to start Cousins as one of my on field rookies, but didn't seem to do that well even though he had a fair bit of the ball.  Was it due to poor DE, or should I look at using a corrective trade on him?  Will definitely wait another week, but just wanted some idea on how he actually went.

Disposal wasn't great. Sting had gone out of it when he started using it better so he didn't get as many points for some of his better play. Probably worth holding

Libba was actually one of the better players on the ground and would have scored more if he cleaned his disposal up. Giving him another week and if he scores under 90 he turns into Sheed or Rocky (if they ton up again)

This. People need to research on why scores were crap. Libba played well just his efficiency was poo

DE was down, but you have to remember in close games like that points really become valuable, and when a player doesn't get too much of the ball not only do they not score, but their score generally goes backwards a little as the 3300 needs to be spread and the guys getting the ball in close games have inflated points which need to come from those who aren't getting it

I watched the last qtr and Libba only had a few cheap handballs etc

Same thing happened with Moore on Fri night - both Libba and Moore were on track for 95-100 games at 3/4 time but didn't do much in the last so barely scored

He also got stuck on the bench and couldn't get back on for a fair bit in the last. He'll be fine

First game of the real stuff as well for quite a while. He’ll be better for the run

Could mean Balta gets another run

Haha could be seen as proving his point. And after the Eagles losing to Brisbane too.
(Obviously the Bombers are still pretty rubbish but I saw that coming)

Cheers mate, guess I get another chance to see what he can do.

Any Melbourne fans have any opinion on if Hore will hold his spot? Surely Melbourne are a chance to drop multiple blokes
