2021 Rookies

[Mat0369]

Flynn had a sore hamstring which is why he didn't play today. Briggs has had a really good game so I don't know how he doesn't get the spot round 1.

Gulden has also looked good with the ball in his hand. He looks like he doesn't need a ton of touches to impact a game

Chad Warner $144k fwd anyone

[Mat0369]

Yeah saw him as well. I've been tinkering with my rookies all day and he was able to find a lot of the ball. I moved him onto my forward bench for Treacy

[jfitty]

Chad Warner $144k fwd anyone

Really like what I saw from him today - he's in for now

[IntegralX]

Mid and fwd rookies are turning up in droves. Def rookies however...I think we're down to 3 cheapies? An exxy rookie type (Clark/Young/Cox) at D5 is shaping up to be a must.

[Mat0369]

[shaker]

Someone told me that team announcements will be the same as last year and only put up 24 hours before games don't know if that is true? if that is true we will only see Sunday teams 1 hour before the 2 Saturday night games and that makes it more difficult with picking rookies in the early games where we used to at least know if rookies had made the squad for Sunday games on Fridays ?
Can anyone confirm that this is the case?

[RaisyDaisy]

Yes shaker, 24 hours before, same as last year  >:(

Damn this could be a tricky start to the season.

[Bully]

A bird in the hand is the way to go, if named & playing early then lock in.

Even if on bench and use loophole.

I just realised how much of a mess this is going to be unless teams announce rookies heading into Round 1.

Giants, Saints, North, Port, Eagles and Suns all playing on Sunday.

So Briggs, Bruhn, Flynn, Highmore, Powell, Bergman and Jones all guys that we would be looking at in some capacity

[whynot102]

Anthony Scott any chance Rd1

[bkimm32]

Do we think Dow is a lock? I just removed him from my team for a base priced rookie as I needed the extra cash to upgrade elsewhere. I just don’t see it with him personally. I think he could still be in and out of that Carlton side
