Who to field thread

[tommy10]

Obviously dependant on teams

Out of the rookies playing that we know, who are you fielding Round 1?

Def: ZBT/Ash, Brander/Williams possibly - assuming they all are selected and playing
Mids: Rowell, Pickett, Green - is anyone putting Pickett as emg to see how he goes. If 70+ and then select someone like Hibberd/Sharp/Mahony/Budarick on field as a non-playing rookie?
Fwds: Georgiades, Brander, Taylor/Sturt//Davis/Bedford - thinking Georgiades and Taylor assuming the latter plays.

Im waiting for teams before making any final decisions.

Considering Pickett on bench as E, but will depend on who else is available and If there will be a donut or not.

Well Pickett has given those that have him with the E the age old question as to whether to purposely pick a donut this week to get his score :-X

Probably an opportunity to still pick Steven as a mid and have Budarick on the fwd bench

If it was me id consider Serong. He was close to being picked by hadn't trained enough.
Other options would be Starcevich or Robertson if either aren't selected for Brisbane

Not many good mid rookies to start so I don't see a huge issue with picking a donut there.

Yep, if Dev Robbo doesn't get named I'll still start him at M11. If not, Starcevich/Mahony

We basically have 2 trades every round this year, so won't ever need M11. Yeah it delays cash gen a little, but points gained via looping will be worth more

EDIT: Starting Steven an option too, as Gavdroid suggested. Might consider that

Either way, I'm banking Pickett and won't be fussed if it means I go down the path of a M11 donut to start with

[Samsturmfels]

thoughts on starting Budarick in the fwd line? (fielding taylor aswell (if named)

[jfitty]

Who were you fellas planning to start over Pickett?

[Rusty00]

Rowell and Green

[LordSneeze]

Who were you fellas planning to start over Pickett?

Was hoping Robertson.
Was looking like a good choice when Pickett was on 18 at half time.

Was going to loophole Pickett but ended up starting him. Would have started Budarick if I had Pickett on my bench.

[RaisyDaisy]

I'm picking Dev Rob either way

If he isn't named, I use him to loop Pickett's score

If he is named, I dump a fwd rookie, move Budarick to fwd and start Mahony/cheap DPP donut at M11

I prefer going with a donut at M11 so I can loop M8 every week, as opposed to picking Tyler Brown who will likely get dropped sooner rather than later. Even if he does string together a few games makes 100k or so, I'll take the hit as I think I should be able to gain more points by looping M8 each week

Mahony for me. Favorable bye, can loophole him with Budarick. Mahony on ground to get Pickett’s 94 can swing him forward if M11 is needed.

What bye ? I thought all byes were gone bye bye!

[jfitty]

How are we ranking the forward rookies lads, in terms of who to field? Depending on who you're picking:

Taylor
Cavarra
King
Sturt
Georgiades
Davis

Assuming most have Budarick in mids and Brander in defence.
