Nathan Gordon

Anyone know what his JS is like? I saw the game and he played well, if he can keep his spot will allow me to:

- Trade Caddy to Gordon
- Upgrade Georgiou to Jaensch

Otherwise, any other <117k rookies likely to get a debut soon?

[BigMac_93]

His JS is a bit shaky. I think he will be a good vest candidate if he keeps his spot, which will affect his scores. Knights and Deledio are still to come back into our team.

[Bully]

Job security would be tenuous, I prefer him to Lloyd but I'm not sure the selectors feel the same way. One slip up and he might find himself playing in the reserves.

[sid3bysid3]

Played well on the weekend. Came on at QT, showed dash, missed an easy goal and still scored 71 in a losing side

[Toga]

Think he played really well on Saturday, really liked the look of him.

I'm hoping he will get a full game this weekend against Collingwood after his effort, but we'll find out if he's sub or not before the initial lockout anyways so could work nicely if you were to bring him in this week. Disappointing he doesn't have forward status like he should! :(

[sid3bysid3]

Ripping point Toga - if he's named and not sub great sign for his JS and gives a chance to go hell for leather. Could be a nice unique as not too many people are bringing in rookies by rd 5 unless injuries or simply they will never make money (few of those trolls on my fwd bench).

[Jroo]

I thought he played well when he came on. Lids and a few other to come back in, so he could be forced out.
He's a great runner, so he may be used as the sub, which is a concern.

[AaronKirk]

I thought he played extremely well in comparison with a few of his mates in the Richmond midfield who were smashed. Think his JS is shaky though and looks a good green vest candidate.

[Toga]

Well I think he performed better than Foley has as the sub at any rate.

Lids is set to come back in but King looks like he needs a couple of weeks off and Titch hasn't been his usual self so small forward spots are definitely there and are definitely up for grabs for him, and he deserves another opportunity after Saturday's effort.

[Capper]

Nipper is a little ripper of a player and i was sorry to see him go when the Swans had to delist him.

I dont think he has the JS though at the moment with Lids to come back in. Does he stay ahead of Foley though?

[Bully]

He should hold his place, King was very ordinary so maybe he'll be on the chopping block. One thing in Gordon's favour is his apprenticeship at the Swans, this is gold plated grooming. He's also a terrific endurance athlete, probably in the top half dozen at the club. He's on my watchlist for now but will reassess next week. For those who don't have Crouch it will be an interesting conundrum.

[RaisyDaisy]

Will be hard to hold a spot when Lids and co return

If he was a fwd option I would be looking at him, but probably not as a mid only option as guys like Crouch, Buckley and Kelly are probably ahead of him for a spot

Well Foley was dropped for him this week, so yes he's ahead.

interesting, though Foley would get some game time this year

[sid3bysid3]

Yeah i don't have a lot of cash - i can move caddy into mids and trade him for gordon (102k) which allows me to upgrade georgiou to jaensch.

I can't see Georgiou pushing his value more than 100k which Gordon could do if he gets another 3-4 games and can get Jaensch in who is hopefully a keeper. He'll also push his value further than Caddy while giving me increased scoring each week.
