Midfield Rookies

[SydneyRox]

How many midfield rookies will you be running with round 1? What do you think the best strategy is? Is 6 or 7 rookies in your midfield too many?

I am tossing up between 5 and 6, depending on rookies/prems in other possies

[Boomz]

4-5 but it depends on MPP & pre-season.

Exact same for me. Trying different combos to see what I can pull out.

[Cicjose]

it is plausible to have an all rookie midfield but that would not help you to you starting scores

[Justin Bieber]

Could be another rookie midfield idea this season. Have the talent just like last season. But would have to choose the rookies spot on.

Although, if you choose the right rookies and pack on the premiums elsewhere, shouldn't lose too much ground on everybody else.

[Cicjose]

you would have to have no margin for error in choosing your captain tho

[jimmytigs]

Tempted to go 6 but that would mean cutting 1 of goddard,ablett,swan,judd or ablett,swan,judd,boyd depending on whether i play the mpp game.5 though is most likely for me,though in 1 of my experimental teams i will be having 9 & loading up on 5 premium backs & forwards & sandy & cox.

Imagine goddard in backline  or sandi or hodge or chappy even as captain  & having swallow,gysberts,gaff,atley,heppell,smith,krakouer,wallis.

Still manage to play r/f & c/b mpp & im tipping almost all 24 of my trades would be requirted in the midfield only,5 viable rucks & solid all over the backs & forwards im going to have fun with this EXPERIMENTAL team.

[Cicjose]

Tippett is too expensive for bench and i would choose T Mcdonald instead of Bailey

[Cruiseon]

4 rookies in the midfield is heaps.
