Are there defensive rookies that even look like playing?
Goddard doesn't look that good (looking at stats) and really who else is there?

Shaun Edwards for Essendon maybe.

Adam Saad has played well for the Suns too in their 2 games, still needs to be elevated however.

Otherwise I see a lot of coaches starting Nathan Brown!

I hope they do, means they will need to make up 30 points a game elsewhere.

Really hoping Goddard would start as well but not looking good!

If it gets this bad I'm sacrificing my M5 to put Brown on the bench where he belongs

Not a real scorer type is he?

Durdin is def/ruck.  A playing bench ruck would be great - even if for 40 points or so a week - something is better than nothing.

Adam Saad is looking like the best defender that you could actually field at D6, but he needs to be elevated  :'(

No chance I field Brown. I'll pick him to sit at D8 if there isn't enough rookies

Don't the Suns have a couple of spots open for rookie upgrades?

I think they've got two spots from memory.

Greg Broughton will definitely be elevated and then one of Andrew Raines/Josh Glenn/Adam Saad will get the other I'd say. Based on his pre-season and form, Adam Saad must be the front-runner.

He's my D8 atm.

Doubt Broughts will get elevated. Has been told he has one more year left and hes done

Also doubt Raines will be elevated as he was drafted to add starch to their NEAFL team which finished on the bottom of the ladder.
