2019 Rookies

Yeah, but do you really want to have to field him and his 50 points? It depends who you're trading out, but I'd almost rather hold the other trade than grab Corbett

It’s upgrade season. You don’t want to be a premo behind the pack.

You also don't want to risk fielding a crappy rookie and losing points either. If he is sitting at forward 8 go for it, but if you need him at F6/F7 it has to be a hard pass

Some new rookies before the bye rounds would help the cause, but there's SFA atm.

Yeah the bunch this week aren't exactly superstars but you look ahead and there's tumbleweed rolling in the desert.

[Jimmykidd]

yeah i wouldn't be too worried about poor rookie scores. gotta get that cash for upgrades. more important.

I actually don’t think his scoring will be to bad, think he will make $150k which is what you want from a rookie. Should average 55-60 with hopefully a large score in there.

With Brayden Ham looking like a dud I'm back to the drawing board for next week, possibly go Hately if he gets a recall.

If Stocker gets named on the bubble he will do for M10/M11. Gibbons > Stocker for me at this very early stage I reckon.

Does he hold his spot when Simmo and Newman are back?  Wouldn't be betting on it.

Good point. Didn't even think of that. Someone has to go & he would be right in the firing line. Hmmm.

Stocker looks like a fish out of water, sorry Blues supporters but not a fan (and wasn't impressed by that trade that SOS engineered). For me it has to be Hately, risky in the extreme but a couple of price rises & he's done his job.

I didn't see the game but I did see his SC score. It was only one game though. Have seen Hately. Looks a composed jet but with Whit to still come back in? I suppose if named you have to take him.

Lol so you write-off an 18 year old off after his 1st game. Nice one bud

Kade Simpson didn’t touch the ball in his first 3 AFL games. Since then he’s always been on my ‘never again’ list. This year it’s finally starting to pay off... ;D

As someone who spends a lot of time watching the juniors I was pretty shocked to see Carlton offloading what is almost certain to be a top 4 pick. Stocker won a Morrish medal but had zero exposure to state football, his form in TAC finals was also pedestrian. Hugely risky & we're only a third of the way into the season. If the ladder remains roughly the same then it will be very hard to justify.
