The Rookies Thread 2020

[IntegralX]

Those starting with:

Prem + Prem + Docherty + Roberton + 2 Rookies

How are you feeling about the Rookie options down back?

I'm concerned.

I know we need to see both rounds of Marsh, but...

If you work to the principle that Rookies determine structure, not Premiums... I'm seeing an argument for:

Prem + Prem + Prem + Docherty + Roberton + Rookie

If someone can tell me four Rookies you're comfortable with (two onfield, two bench), I'd love to know them. I'm pretty sure we'll agree on three by Round 1, but four's a hope and a prayer.

Currently with Ash, Brander (Greaves, Gould) at D5-D8. Starcevich, Williamson and best name in the comp BJ Williams also on the list.

I actually feel pretty good about it too.

1 of Young/McAsey/BZT at D5

Starcevich, Gould and 1 of Brander/Williams

I’m picking young even though he is considered unlikely for round 1 - GUN ... I’ll bench him for early rounds.

So will start Williams and Gould on field.

I have extra cash allocated for mid rookies at present but if someone shows up I’m hoping to grab mcasey as well - he will play.

Williams been changed to a defender ruck in positioning as well.

My new rock 2 is bailey Williams !!!! I’m in love

When did they add ruck status to him I wonder. I swear he was defender only originally.

Well I'll be. Didn't realise they could make additional position changes haha.

I didn't see Brander at all. Like I mean I have no idea what he looks like because he either got 0 of the pill or he was pulled when I started watching. 11 touches from 72% TOG isn't great but he has another game to make a spot his.

They did it with Blicavs a few years back

[frenzy]

A couple of options for R3, Beejay and Xerri, one gets a gig, they're in. Nice

What’s the go with S. Hill at the moment? At that price would think there were more takers.

Injured?

I just assumed he was a no brainer so not worth discussing.

In 56% of teams that's fairly high.

Anyone had a good look at Tom Sparrow (Melb)?

7 kicks, 10 handballs, 7 tackles and 1 goal (77 points) from 60% game time

Very much on the radar if he gets a game.  Been getting some time around the ball. Might take Young’s place in my team via Hill

[eaglesman]

Sparrow looked real decent. Straight in if he gets a gig

[Mat0369]

I've seen enough of Gould already. That one contest alone probably gets him a gig round 1. Lock and load.

Caldwell looking good as well
