Back Rookies

[hawkers65]

I've just locked in Mcdonald, Martin, Langford and Clurey for D5-8 and Langdon as M10.

How are u so sure Martin will even get named? He doesn't seem to be rated on Adelaide boards?

I'd love to this but u would have to play Clurey on field this week just in case Martin isnt named wouldnt u?

Nah, just chuck the E on Clurey...

[enzedder]

Just another thought about Langdon as M10 DPP.
Mids....GAJ/ Pendles/ Beams ...R8 bye
DPP Langdon>Mitchell or McVeigh...no mid doughnut
What other R8 defenders do you have? Just McD for me...no def doughnut.

All of this is crystal ball stuff of course...Langdon may be dropped quicker than a hot potato but it could work out okay.

Done the same except Laidler over Clurey. As much as I wanted to go 123k or less on my bench having Martin or Laidler there makes me more Confident. Cause not confident on many back rookies even if they get named.

Help me out here guys

Cameron, Clurey and Langdon have all been named. Next week Langford and Georgiou are who I have my eye on, as well as needing a cheap M10, which at this stage Crouch seems to be the only likely option

I am fielding a rookie at D6, so I am thinking that because the 3 have already been named, I put Clurey and Cameron as my def bench, and pick Langdon as my M10. Crouch is likely to play rd1, but I really cant see him staying in long once senior Crows start returning, and Langdons DPP allows me to swing him around during the byes if I still have him by then

I then put Langford on the ground in D6 this week, and if both he and Georgiou get named, I pick one and miss out on the other. I would love to have Georgiou over Cameron as D8, but if he and Langford don't both get named next week, it will force me to make a change elsewhere to get enough cash and bring Webster in

What do you guys think? Or do I bench Clurey and Langdon in defence, pass on Cameron, put Crouch as M10 and then still decide on Langford or Georgiou next week.

If Langdon isn't the sub field him. Have Langford at D7 and Clurey/Cameron at D8.

[ubeaut]

Not sure. I am still nowhere near convinced on either Cameron OR especially Clureys JS. Carlisle would take his spot surely?
Cameron has Thompson,Tape maybe KK comes in..

Wouldn't worry about Tape

Thompson hasn't played a game all preseason so he would have to be a while away

Cameron's JS is better than Clurey's I reckon. When is Carlisle due back? I reckon he would replace Hombsch and Clurey might be able to stay in as long as plays well

[RaisyDaisy]

I'm going with Langdon at M10, so not going to field him over any of the mid rookies

Nah I meant field him at D6. There are enough decent mid rooks

[RaisyDaisy]

Langford at D6. Cameron and Clurey 7/8

[Ricochet]

Who are your mid rooks?

Langdon in the mids seems like a waste

[RaisyDaisy]

5 premo's, Michie, Polec, Ellis and Dunstan at M9

Passing on Tyson, as the money is used elsewhere. I really cant see anyone else other than Langdon or Crouch being options for me at M10, and I reckon Langdon has better JS

Langford/Georgiou as D6 next week, and locking Cameron and Clurey as D7/8 as they have been named. I can get rid of one of them and move Langdon to replace them, but then that means I have to go with Crouch at M10, no other options, and I don't want to have to rely on Crouch being named next week

During the rd8 bye I could also swing Langdon with McVeigh, play McVeigh on midfield, and move Langdon to def bench that week. Not a deciding factor, but handy bonus

[Ricochet]

what are you using the extra money from not having Tyson on? He is definitely worth the extra coin. You're paying for his JS and Saints have a nice opening draw

[RaisyDaisy]

Ive moved Langdon to D7 and Crouch will be my M10

I am going weak in the rucks, and weak down back, so I am going strong in the mids and forwards

[SydneyRox]

i have had another look, still not confident on back rooks.

Now have Suckling @5, Webster @6 and Macd 7, Hoping geogiou 8 (though I may go Langdon)

It has hurt my fwd line, but I think there are a few undervalued fwds that I can risk on.
