2019 Rookies

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

mmm   irony......  love it.     "be thee not quick to judge lest you be judged"

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.

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.

Hately will make a quick 140k, that's the appeal, even 1 pay rise puts him in tradeable territory. Probably needs another injury but you never know.

As for Stocker, would need to improve out of sight, didn't see anything that screamed A grade talent but I suppose he gets another opportunity to show his wares.

Drews b/e was 58 and he scored 59 so i think he has made as much as he can. But with all the injuries to port mids he could have a blinder and get the ball rolling again

Wanna trade all of Moore, Walsh, Drew, Duursma and Parker this week, so will be forced to lose cash on some of them. There's also no rookies worth getting in :(

Parker and Walsh are the two I'm moving on.
Parker's 25 will stop cash generation in it's tracks so he's cooked.
Walsh will drop in value marginally this week and at 440k+ his coin allows significant quality to come in.

Moore, Drew and Duursma can wait. They are all decent enough to field, shouldn't lose too much value, if any and have other things going for them such as DPP or mid time.

Who would you move on next out of that lot after Walsh mate?

I have $411,900 in the kitty and am going to go Walsh > Fyfe with my first trade and either Duursma > Hurn, Moore > Dunkley\T.Kelly or Drew > Dunkley\T.Kelly.

Walsh to Fyfe and Duursma to Hurn for sure

Moore's DPP is super handy being able to trade def to fwd and vice versa, and Drew should do enough while Wines is still out

[Bully]

So back to the topic of downgrades, it's basically Ham, Stocker & maybe Hately (although I'm not holding my breath). Really hope we get to see Bewley or McHenry next week, that could be my saving grace.

Duursma to Hurn is an impressive upgrade in the form hes in. I do that too.

Bewley is who I'd like to see. None of Ham, Stocker or Hately (yeah right) appeal.

Rotham.... :P

Not considering Corbett anymore?

Yea the rookie stocks are looking very bare, could get ugly soon if those two don't show up.
Stocker is not worth it at all, shown nothing performance-wise, nothing scoring-wise, and will be out the moment Simmo/Newman are back.
Hately needs a medium-term injury to Kelly/Conigs/Taranto to play. The fact that he's not playing even with Whitfield still out is a big worry.
And all I know about Ham is that Basil made a terrible joke involving "taking the bacon" when he had a set shot.

Point is, none of them are valid options imo, and even though I stocked up with 700k, I'm still gonna need 1 downgrade in the next 3 weeks.

The problem is most of us already have a few dodgy rookies and its just too much risk have a bench full of spuds leading into the byes

For me its Balta, Scott and Young, don't want to add that list this early in the season

Still a possibility but means I have to field him for a week, will assess when the week is done.

Might be time to get creative on the trade front, still have Whitfield to work with so might be able to swing something.

[RaisyDaisy]

And this is why the double downgrade was the play this week imo

I'm not touching any of the current bubble boys - will upgrade this week then just have to wait for more rookies to pop up
