The Playing Rookies Thread

[Nige]

The worst thing about the measly 2 players in the defenders column of the Herald Sun's opinion of the best 22 is that Hugh Goddard is actually very unlikely to play round 1.

and Nathan Brown will barely make 50k

Yeah, I really don't think he's worth picking.

Agree

anybody will be a better option but if there are no other options what you going to do then?

Still not pick him.

::)

As Rico just pointed out, there are other ways. You could always find a way to make a Waters or Whitecross type your D6, especially given the abundance of cheaper options on other lines.

Like every other year the structure we go with is dependant on how many rookies are available in each line

Kinda makes the whole RMT section and us putting all that time in a waste, but we do it anyway because we love it  ;D

Waters for d6

Best 22 for Adelaide has otten at full back and obviously he won't play

Who will take his spot?
Thinking lever is a chance of grasping a gig in the back line given some preseason talk ... Hope so!!!!

folks whitex has no job security even if named round 1 ... Can see him being rotated plenty

Will be adjusting my team for waters at d6 and welcome van berlo in for crouch

I've had Waters at D5 for a while, willing to make D6 a cheap mid-pricer if need be too. Teams with Waters at D4 just have no chance though.

FB is Hartigan's to lose at the moment.

Totally agree ... Would be great for all if he loses it though :)

I'm hoping Zak Jones will get a permanent gig.  He's about the only cheapo I can see for D6.  By the sounds of it very well liked by both  fans and club.

Yep, same here. Currently my D6 in hope this happens.

What were the options In defence this time last year? I remember there being almost none until the nab challenge came around and guys like Langford popped up. It will sort itself out

Feel like I had Langdon Langford McDonald and Kolodjashnij locked in early and they stayed in my side ... There definitely is not 4 options this season
Please give us something NAB Cup

Ok placeholders early whilst fiddling with my team I wouldn't of started bock obviously which proves he placeholders point ... maybe nt locked but in my side, I started both KK mcdonald Langdon and Langford I assure you ... Langdon actually started in the middle for me though but was still defensive cover ... I remember KK missed round 1 and I decided to start him similar to the way I did with Terlich the year before ... I clearly wouldn't of started bock last year is enough reason to prove my point ...

But you have way too much time on your hands to actually go and look for that
