2019 Rookies

[RaisyDaisy]

Scrimshaw, Clark, Duursma (Wilkie, Burgess)
Walsh, Constable (Scott, Atkins, Gibbons)
Setterfield, Drew (Parker, Petrucelle)

Feel like I nailed the rookies

Libba at M6, so pass on LDU/Butters

Have the exact same rookies after two trades.

M Crouch at M6 ;)

[PowerBug]

Collins, Duursma (Clark, Hore)
Walsh, Constable (Butters, Scott, Atkins)
Setterfield, Drew (Burgess, Petruccelle)

I'd like to get Parker but unless Hore isn't named again I don't know if I will.

[Ringo]

From the HS must have rookies

MUST-HAVE ROOKIES

DEF
Jordan Clark BE: -51
Xavier Duursma BE: -69
Jack Scrimshaw BE: -48

MID
Zak Butters BE: -63
Charlie Constable BE: -97


FWD
Matt Parker BE: -108
Willem Drew BE: -121
Will Setterfield BE: -35

Only missing Scrimshaw
Def: Clark, Dursma, Wilkie (Collins, Burgess)
Mid: Walsh, Constable, Scott (Butters, Aitkens, Gibbons)
Fwds: Settlerfield, Drew, (Parker, Petrucelle) Moore as well.

So a lot of us have the similar rookies so the trick will be when tocull.

Would hardly call Clark, Scrimshaw, Setterfield and Butters must haves.

[RaisyDaisy]

Would hardly call Clark, Scrimshaw, Setterfield and Butters must haves.

Other than Butters, the other 3 are close to must haves

If you didn't have Clark/Scrim, your backline of Collins/Duursma/Wilkie/Burgess/Hore etc isn't exactly going to be generating a heap of cash

Same goes for Setters up front - only Drew and Parker will make more for now

[MontyJnr]

Walsh and LDU have good JS, but are not crucial to making money. They'll make money, but you need to invest more upfront obviously

Scrimshaw and Atkins represent good value for money imo

Rozee is too expensive for me and not required

Sparrow, Schultz, McKay I wouldn't touch

Most sides need 1 of Miers/Petrucelle as F8, and Wilkie should be alright too. None of them are musts, but there decent bench options

Thanks for the response, I tend to agree with you on all that.

Grain of salt I know, but SC Gold predicts Butters will go up 244K in price this season while Gibbons will only increase by 131K. Considering Butters is also a solid on-field backup option, could you argue he is genuinely worth the 55K upgrade from Gibbons?

[jvalles69]

Should I use my 2 trades then to turn Burgess/Hore/Gibbons into Duursma and Scrimshaw?

[tkringle]

Scrimshaw is really the only one I’ve missed. If Hore is not named will be getting him in

Certainly prior to Round 1, with hindsight, but now that it would cost an actual trade on top of the 55k? I'll keep that trade and be happy with the 130k Gibbons profits

[MontyJnr]

The ultimate combination at this stage (all rookies on field averaging 70+) appears to be:

Rozee, Duursma (Scrimshaw, Clark)
LDU, Constable, Walsh (Butters, Scott, Atkins)
Drew, Parker (Miers, Setterfield)

Port & Geelong are heavily represented after some good wins, so interesting to see whether they can keep it up!

[YoungGun]

Using trades to get in LDU in then out for a starting price of 200k seems frought with danger. 1 bad score and the likes of ahern jacobs back could halt the train.

Could name a heap of others that should get the chop before LDU.

[Keeper27]

I've got most rookies right. Only 1 I'm missing i really want is Parker.
Is he a must??

With a BE below -100, I'd say so.
