2019 Rookies

[StuL]

anyone else dirty they hold bailey scott for jackson hately next week, overlooking jack ross? ross has a huge game for the tigers, then teams get named and scott and hately both omitted? RIP

Yep, but held Clark instead (via Duursma). Now tossing up whether to go early on Hayes so I have defensive bench cover with Burgess there as well

In the same boat having not gone with Ross. I wanted to not sell rookies early this year but may need to cull a couple before they reach peak cash. You also need to pick up ones coming in somehow so a few cows have to get slaughtered early I suppose.

Yeah, usually every year i go early culling rookies and it always seems to pan out. this year i've held unntil optimal pricing and things have gone bad

Hately out has botched my plans a bit but hopefully back next next week. The beauty about picking Ross was the fact he could potentially hold down M8 for a few weeks. Not sure what I'll do next week, need another rookie to put their hand up.

If this is true. I hope hately has 35 touches and goes pf his head so he plays next  week

Yep like the rest of you who passed on Ross I also did because I wanted another week of Atkins/Scott making cash, then was grabbing Hatley/Hayes next week, but the Hately and Scott omissions (And Ross score) has really stuffed it up

Good to see Hately might in fact get named if Davis is a late out, but really it's not that great - clearly JS will be an issue and he will be straight back out once Davis returns

Ross JS on the other hand getting stronger and stronger - might be the first costly mistake for the year

Well all is not lost, if Hately gets a game on Saturday & does well then he may just buy himself a couple of weeks. That M8 spot is critical so here's hoping.

As for being costly, if you really want to rationalise it, Lockhart makes 40k, Atkins makes 30k, Ross goes up 70k, you can still bring in Ross this week & it hasn't affected your earnings. Given Hately is on the expensive side the differential isn't massive.

As for Lockhart, I brought him in for other reasons, he either makes 150k or he can be used as a floating donut, The benefits won't really been seen for a few weeks yet. Then there's his ability to move into the midfield & cull someone like Gibbons. Zero regrets about making that trade. As long as you have a few cows mooing on the bench I wouldn't be in panic mode.

[RaisyDaisy]

Certainly not panic stages at all - just would have preferred to grab Ross now, but that's hindsight

I grabbed Lockhart for the same reasons - really don't care about his scoring as he replaced Burgess who was just as bad, but his DPP will be very handy, and like you mentioned I have planned to get him to M11 soon enough which will allow me to turn Gibbons into a DEF prem

I passed on all the Tigers (Ross, Stack, Baker) but all the cows I have are going along nicely, so all in all I'm in a pretty good spot

Still plan to double down next week - just hope we have some good looking options - Corbett is one I will consider going early on if push comes to shove, but either way I want to punt Atkins/Scott next week ideally

I was keeping Butters because I thought once he gets that 23 out of his rolling average he will start making coin again..........nekminnit on 10 at 1/2 time ::)

24 point quarter. Might still get to 60

Traded Rozee this week seems his BE was 74, and then he hits it at 3qt... >:(

If he would stop giving away free kicks it would help. That’s what killed him the week he got 23 as well >:(
