123k CUNNINGHAM will start Rd 1

[AaronKirk]

So with only a couple of days till season starts are people Getting on this kid as a m10? Great preseason and great end to last year plus is almost certain to line up round 1. I'm on him!

Like any of the rookies priced up to $123k if you were confident about JS you would pick them. I see Cunningham with shaky JS. IMO better to spend a tad more and have Ellis and Dunstan as bench rookies.

Can we expect Harry Cunningham and Brandon Jack to play a valuable role this year?
AFL ‏@AFL  46m
.@MarkBruty both are young players with excellent speed. Harry can play forward, but is also playing mid. Hopefully Brandon will be similar.

This is the question that was asked to Longmire last week in Ask The Coach. Not sure if im just over analysing this but that last bit that I've bolded gets me thinking that Cunningham may be ahead of BJ at the moment according to Longmire? They are similar player types probably competing for the same spot in the side but his kind of hinting that Cunningham is currently more versatile and therefore probably more suitable with the new interchange cap. I really like the look of Cunningham and have been watching him closely as his finals appearances last year got me thinking that even with injuries at the time they must have rated him pretty highly. To me he looks like he has done enough to get some early games, possible sub risk though. Really hoping he gets a free run at it though and strings a few games together early.

So if Cunningham in named, do we lock him in at m10 or hope that Crouch is named next week? Don't like eithers JS, should we have money spare to bring in an Aishy? (hinders my squad massively)
Damn these split rounds  ::)

Personally I will be waiting to see if Crouch is named for Adelaide. If Cunningham performs well in his first 2 games I'll get him on the bubble

how do you know Horse loves him? He played 5 games last year including 2 finals games. If he had performed like he did against Carlton he would have been looking for another club this year.

VEry oputside chance that Towers or Cunners plays and even then they will probably get the vest and only play a 1/4 and end up not making any money.

There are still players to come back for the Swans as well so they wont be in the team for long

If he gets named and isn't the sub on saturday he will be my M10, if he doesn't get named or is sub I will wait for Crouch etc

[HotTiges]

in and out of the side, could be a slow burner SC wise.. kid's a gun though

[Marstar]

Cunningham has the R10 bye, so would the 'potential' extra 2 games over Crouch balance out the potential money made and would a guaranteed named player sway people to lock him in (and pray :P) ?
