Jake Neade

[elephants]

True, was just thinking is it better going a rookie with more scoring potential over one with possibly more JS but inferior scoring...

[Tyes]

Depends on your structure and how quick you want to make cash I guess.

[elephants]

Smeh, I'll likely have him if he's playin'.

Looking more and more like an option after the weekend!

Someone said it before, but a nice smokie for the Rising Star, will get noticed.

Wouldn't worry about his size. His got flair, great work rate, and a good football brain to go with it . Will be a walk in to play round 1, think only a injury will keep him out.

[Mr.Craig]

His size is a non-issue. He isn't likely to find himself in wrestling matches. Plus his speed, slipperiness and low centre of gravity allows him to break tackles (I'd imagine he'd get a few over the shoulder frees too).

With Gray and Hitchcock sidelined he's a good chance of filling a forward spot. Vests and scoring could be an issue though.

Yep that would be me

If he plays 22 games i do see him being a sneaky chance for the Rising Star his paying at $81 and they could drop down fast if he explodes in the first couple of games.

Let me take you back to 2008 where Rioli finished runner up to Rhys Palmer
Rioli played 13 games and kicked 12 goals with an average of 14.5 disposals i do see Neade doing something similar but playing more games but maybe slightly less disposals.

[Mr.Craig]

Neade averaged 12.4 disposals in the TAC last year and I'd expect he'd be slightly below that output.

Just for reference, Ahmed Saad averaged 9.8 disposals (3 vests) and kicked 28 goals for 53.5 DT per game last year. I feel like Neade will score in a similar range. So, it depends on what you want out of him - if you are expecting a money spinner who is capable of high scores then look elsewhere but if you just want someone who will hopefully play a chunk of games early and be worst-case-scenario coverage then he seems like one of the more promising options in that price range.

Easy fixtures early help rookie selections. I've just gone Macaffer -> Neade and used the money to bring Wines into my midfield. Makes it 6 Port players :D

Your side just went backwards making that move.

Spot on Mr.Craig.

[Windigo]

I don't see him as a high scoring option, but I'll take any FWD rookies that are playing round one.  :P
