The Playing Rookies Thread

[no eye deer]

Spewing! I hoped Salem would be back. I've got him and Clark sitting on the pine. Looks like Lids is coming in this week.

I just cant see myself picking him this year

Even if he does get a game, I cant see him lasting long

Agreed.

Their injury list revolves around KPP's. I cannot see Steele getting a good run at it.

[kilbluff1985]

yeah the injuries yesterday were mainly KPP players

Thoughts on trading out Glenn to Corey Ellis?

Only costs me 45k, and Ellis would give me 18 players this week avoiding a donut (I would only do this if Ellis avoids the vest on Friday night)

I went early with Glenn, and he has just been sitting there doing nothing, and there is no guarantee he will return and hold his spot

Thoughts?

Lambert would be a better option if he gets the nod. Was aiming for a post bye return

Yeah but no way will he come straight in. Will have to play VFL until he finds some form or a spot opens up for him.

Is there an article on Salem doing his other hammy?

Cant find any proof

Tip for all wanting injury news: I use Google News (filtered by week) and Twitter.

I know GWS bat deep. But they are now well and truly in finals contention so just maybe they will want to start to rotate/rest their younger players soon. Steele and Lambert are the ones I'm hoping to play soon.

Steele another 27 possies and 10 tackles on the week end.

Worth it for the 50 odd points you'll probably get?
I'd probably cop the zero and move on.

Nailing the right captain choice will likely make up that gap for you.
