2019 Rookies

Whats shai boltons JS like? 75 points on the weekend priced at 145K. Could be a handy fwd downgrade

Looked really good on the weekend but fear he could be another Parker like player. Have a good weekend and then a lot of subpar rookie scores.

Think most of the forward rookies will be inconsistent, ok if they are benched though.

You make a fair point there.

I’m trying to upgrade this line as much as possible.

Richmond's optimal lineup for the next 2 months (no Short/Rance) will be:
B: Broad, Astbury, Grimes
HB: Vlastuin, ____, Edwards
C: McIntosh, Lambert, Ellis
HF: Rioli, Caddy, Higgins
F: Riewoldt, Lynch, ____
Foll: Nankervis, Martin, Cotchin
Bench: Prestia, Houli, ___, ___
Players in discussion: Butler, Castagna, Bolton, Baker, Graham, Garthwaite, Balta, Stack, Ross

- With Ellis playing wing rather than half back, it doesn't allow Higgins/Rioli to rotate through the midfield as much, which only allows 2 of the 4 other small forwards to be picked. Personally, I think Bolton deserves an extended period of opportunity in the team as what Butler and Castagna got in 2017 because he is a much better player than both of them. Not sure who I prefer out of the other 3 though, but that's irrelevant.
- Grimes isn't big enough to play on the 2nd tall most weeks, he plays on guys like Gray/Betts/De Goey, so Richmond will need to play either Garthwaite or Balta as a 2nd key defender to help Astbury.
- Ross, Graham and Prestia are all very similar players, and I don't think we can afford to have all 3 in the team when Cotchin/Martin return. Can't see Prestia getting dropped, however Graham has been terrible lately, his turnovers directly resulted in 2 goals vs Giants and didn't see him vs Port. So Ross potentially replaces Graham when Cotchin returns in 2 weeks.
- Stack won't keep his spot for long with Houli returning. This week Menadue and Castagna (hopefully) will be dropped for Houli and Martin, but unless Hardwick puts his faith in Balta to play a lockdown role on Sam Reid (with Astbury on Buddy), Garthwaite is going to be brought in for someone. Stack is probably the unlucky one.

Edit: Just realised that perhaps if Garthwaite is brought in, Balta could be the one to go, which saves Stack. Anyway we'll see come Thursday night.

Hoping Rotham gets named but if not then I'll have to make plans for Clark. Might have to hold on Boak this week & grab Lloyd next week. Not the worst scenario, the sooner I nail down Lloyd the better.

O'Connor to go is my pick

[oh_lol]

Not keen on Rotham, afraid he'll be dropped and won't come in again until someone gets injured again. Was a late in for Jetta.
Stack also afraid he'll make way for someone til they get injured again. Might make way for Houli.
O'Brien in the rucks looks good too, but afraid he'll make way for Jacobs shortly.

No idea :o
