What sort of player is De Goey? Any chance he could fill Seedsmans role while he's injured and then possibly hold onto the spot?

He'll get games in our midfield anyway

Yep. He can play as a medium forward as well.

I was hoping he'd be listed as a Mid/Def but I think he's only listed as a Mid. :(

Isaac Heeney has been named an will play in Sydney's intra-club today. He has recovered well from knee tendinitis.

Bernie Vince has suffered a setback in his recovery from a hamstring inj. Could open the door for Ben Newton. #SuperCoach #AFLFantasy

Hope he kills it. Good luck to the young fella

Bernie :'( Hope it isn't that bad but Newton playing would be great.

From Leppas presser this morning,

JL: Great to see @HarrisAndrews41 get a start. Tall defenders take a while to find their feet but he's impressed. A chance to play this year

Michael Whiting ‏@AFL_mikewhiting 9m
Justin Leppitsch spoke glowingly of young tall Harris Andrews this morning. Said he's a chance for Rd.1. Can't wait to see him play 2moro.

Leppa this morning saying Harris Andrews is a chance for round 1 as well.  So with dearth of rookie defenders keep an eye on and very nice priced at $117k

[Gigantor]

Sounds like a Clurey/Gergiou/Clay Cameron trap to me

[plumdog millionaire]

Any rookie DEF option is a good one at this point

[honza]

200cm rookie

nnnneeeeeext

[RaisyDaisy]

Yeah sounds like he would just end up rotting away at D8 ala Georgiou

Tuok looking likely for round 1

Huge fan of him, tough team to crack into though.

Likewise am a fan of Touk but I have the same reservations as Holz.

The fact that Rocket gave the suns players a Rocket after their match simulation last week however seems like there are spots available.

Via Rocket's Q&A on AFL Facebook page:

"Miller and Gorringe are in line to play round one. Their training has been very good, and this will depend on their form during the NAB Challenge."

Probably doesn't mean too much but at least he's getting a quality look in

[RaisyDaisy]

Good to hear

Meow got me onto Touk a few months ago and he would be a welcome addition to all of our teams at such a cheap price

Rocket went on to say that he reckons Gorringe can play all positions and is developing him as a utility
