Jesse Lonergan, The Forgotten MID Rookie?

[hardnut]

I've had him ever since seeing an interview with him on DT talk got me sniffing around, he hilariously admits to getting ~900pts in his first DT round after doing research (impossible?).

Will play in 2013 just a case of whether he gets the nod rnd1, if he doesn't it's no probs I'll get him later.

I've found I've picked quite a few premium rookie options this year with Wines, Lonergan, Goodes (+ Pittard, Staker, O'halpin) I don't have as many base pricers as I would most years. In my opinion 50-60k is no big deal under the new trading regime as it can easily be made up.

Just squeezed Lonergan into my side then. I don't like paying 120k+ for rookies, but you've made a convincing argument.

Was that directed at me?  ???

Thanks to FisherSaints, here are Lonergan's Tassie stats for last year...

Kicks - Ave. 7.2
Handballs - Ave: 6.6
Tackles - Ave: 4.2 
Goals - 1 (in 5 matches)
Free For - 6
Frees Against - 8

Lonergan smashing it in pre-season. Has dropped 10 skin folds all ready.

Start putting him in, he will have a very good chance I'd suspect.  8)

I'm locking him in

Not for me. I see Crouch, Jeager, Viney and Mitchell slightly ahead of him but will watch his nab cup of course ;)

Which Mitchell, ele? Kane is a rookie and Tom is likely to see the vest when he does actually get a gig. Crouch could also be a good vest candidate as he will be trying to break into a top 4 midfield.

If Kane is elevated, get on. Gun plain and simple.

I agree but that ain't happening until Port get an LTI or are allowed to elevate a rookie later in the season. For now he is only an upgrade target.

 Jesse on the primary list so I'd find the extra $$$  (Like 10 K?) for him until Kane gets elevated.

You mean downgrade target? :P

I'll keep Kane for now. I like him. Rookies can be decided in the nab ;)

Have GAJ and O'Mera from GC in MID, tempted but not sure I want 3 Suns in the Mids.

Round 13 bye definitely persuades me though

Round 13 bye definitely persuades me though

especially with Swan, Pendles and Murphy sharing the bye. Need to wait on Dreamteam rules on the bye rounds, supercoach allow 18 best scores from any position, not sure if dreamteam have committed the same, we assumed same rules before then dreamteam incresead the trades and didn't adopt the rolling lockout.
