2019 Rookies

[Rusty00]

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

Same here. Even if Balta is back, I think I'm pulling the trigger on this move.

[ubeaut]

LDU, Rozee, Walsh, Scrimshaw, Miers, Collins, Atkins, Wilkie, Petrucelle, Sparrow, Gibbons, Schultz, McKay

I am reluctant to use the term "must-have", but does anyone think any of the above rookies are crucial selections for cash generation?

LDU, Walsh, Atkins and possibly Scrimshaw are the pick of that bunch imo. Depends on who you are trading for them?
I've got Wagner and trying to work out if it's worth spending 75k to get LDU in...

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

Would you trade Petruccelle, Burgess or Hore to get in Parker though......?

Also have the issue of Mills and Greene

[Mongoose528]

What are everyone's thoughts on Rozee? Is Greene -> Rozee worth the trade?

Alternatively, other rookie forwards I don't have are Miers, Petrucelle and Schultz.

I'm thinking it's worth it and I'm liking the idea of having Moore, Rozee, Burgess going forward. A lot of flexibility created there.

The flexibility is only short term though because you'll be upgrading those rookies soon enough

Rozee is a firm pass for me. Had a great outing vs a lowly ranked side last week and I'd expect plenty of scores similar to Round 1 moving forward - at his price that's a very slow burn

Spend the 8k more and get LDU

LDU isn't eligible as a forward or a defender though...

Edit: Also, if Rozee only scores 67 like he did in the first two weeks, he'll have made $100k in three weeks. That's hardly bad.

LOL, I know LDU isn't a forward/def - that's not the point

Regardless of position, you're spending 189k a player who probably averages 60ish when for 8k more you can get another player who will average much more

As for the 100k over 3 weeks, that's not worth 2 trades (1 trade bring Rozee in, 1 trade moving him out)

Whispers around that Jack Ross will make his debut for Richmond this weekend after 2 30+ disposal games in the VFL.
$117k mid but it's a frustrating time to for debuts as the there won't be any fattened cows ready

Maybe in 2 weeks time if Ross keeps in the team.

[JonnyJJJJ]

Would you say Scrimshaw is close to a must have? (Considering I have Hore and Balta stinking it up)

I wouldn't no. Interrupted PS and lack of conditioning means I see him being rested soon enough.
Played well for sure, looked very composed v Dogs.

Balta looking like getting a gig this weekend?

From a Richmond member point of view (they send us lots of fun email updates), I haven't heard anything about Balta all week. Usually there's something when a young player is about to get a game - could be as simple as they used all their material prior to his debut in Round 1. This week's feature was on Jack Ross. There's every chance Garthwaite is fit enough to come in for Grimes, Caddy for Riewoldt. Assuming that Ross is getting a debut (we'll drop Castagna imo), that means one of Ellis or Markov has to be dropped and we have to go tall like Round 1. It's possible but I'm far less certain than I was a few days ago...

[jfitty]

Any interest in Jay Lockhart?

Assuming he keeps his spot this week and next, his DPP would be super handy to link with Duursma.

If Hore doesn't get named, which it's looking like he won't, I'm a little tempted..
