The Rookies Thread 2020

[Mat0369]

I was thinking of keeping Williams down back for the lone reason ofthe loophole for BZT and McAsey. I ended up fielding both with Brander and Starcevich on the bench. What a mistake that's turned out to be

[Ringo]

F'ing McAsey

Thankfully I put him on the bench, but geez the rookie situation is looking bleak

The saving grace is that most of us are in the same position so we're all copping it

Hopefully Starcevich goes better as I played him on the field with MCAsey and Brander on bench.  Copped BZT as well.

Yeah, luckily I decided to start Williams and use him to loop D6 each week. Now I just need Brander to go well otherwise it's all for nothing haha

Still copped BZT and all of these other trash scores going around

Where's the delete team button?

So rookies are not performing so what action do we take,  Do we persevere for another week and hopefully get a ptice rise or start correctional trades now.

The big ones requiring attention for those that are relying on them on ground are BZT and Green.  Others are worries as well but they may be hidden on bench,  Hopefully we can see better performances today maybe.

I'm not too worried about BZT. I watched the game, and he looked alright - the ball just wasn't near him often. For the first 3 qtrs the ball was barely down his way

McAsey was horrible, but there's no other rookie options to trade him to, so just need to hope he improves and leave him on the bench

I've started Dev Rob because I decided looping M8 would be more important, and I'm thankful I've done that because Pickett moves to M7 and now I can use Dev to loop Green/Starc/McInerney at M8, and even if Green gets dropped I can still loop the other two

As for the fwd rookies, I always wanted George but after I finalised my side I couldn't afford him which is frustrating, but again not a big deal yet. George and Sturt are the only 2 rookies I don't have that might be worth getting, so Cavarra and Davis/Green to those 2 is something I will look at, but I think I will look at doing rookie corrections as we enter Round 3 - give them another week to really see who looks like being the musts and must nots

Luckily had Sturt as emergency, so able to switch Rankine for Georgiades, getting a nice 100 pointer on ground instead of bench. Did the same with Naismith - has him as emergency as cash cow and switched Gawn for Xerri, giving me another 100+ points. Only mistake was then to get Danger instead of Whitfield, but only cost 20 odd points and Danger will go alright now he has got rid of the major tag for the season

That’s the killer though - price rise after week 2. I’ve got Cavarra and Davis as well, and no Sturt or George. If I get at least Sturt before the price rise, I’ll bet my bottom dollar he scores a 30, and Cavarra tons up...

I think I've found a way around this

I have DPP options thankfully

Tom Green will be a gun, but I'm not sure he will hang around. ZWil to return, and Hately waiting to get in

Green to Sturt and McAsey to Noble seem like 2 solid trades to do this week. Besides George, I'll have all the right rookies, whilst getting rid of the 2 that seem like expensive liabilities

wanna make sure xerri dont play today, Majak in doubt and Xerri emerg. I would be changing to Comben.

T.Murphy ($152k Defender) replacing Daw

[Mat0369]

And he will be straight back out when Daw plays next game

Taylor continuing the rookie mess

Taylor continuing the rookie mess

It's funny the only one that was generally thought of as being the worst pick of the lot has got the biggest score out of them all so far. Typical. Can he back it up with something decent is the question I guess

Robertson in replacing Birchall

Robertson in replacing Birchall

Now how many people will get caught out with him as C?

Ive had to drop to my backup being Trent Rivers to allow DPP loophole from Mid to Def.
