Rookies 2016

[ksghendo]

Milera seems to be flavour of the month at the moment.
C Cameron is definitely in the best 22. It would be interesting to see if Milera holds his spot.
Menadue seems to be in front of C Ellis.
Will be watching both with keen interest.

 

[smirski]

Anyone got a list of rookies ranked highest to lowest of potential avg and js?

@Rupert and @camloch

Is it a coincidence that the ranks of SuperCoach fans seem full of St Kilda and Melbourne and Richmond supporters? (Not to mention Fitzroy fans). Need something to perk our interest through the decades long dry spells. There seem to be precious few Hawthorn supporters round here.

If you are looking for Hawkthorn supporters head over to FF, its full of them.

Has Charlie been hurt over the PS?

Has Charlie been hurt over the PS?

He had a knee injury. The club is taking precautions and just nursering him hack. Should be right for rnd 1.

 

[alrighty then]

Mills vs. Parish is becoming interesting. As a Bombers man i'd love to go with Parish but not being able to see him again in the NAB is annoying. Mills is playing very very well today

& Sam Kerridge has just played himself into everyones team.

Haha not to worry, I think he was already in all serious teams

 

[jibba]

Mills v Parish, there's no competition. Parish missing nab with a hamstring concern, Mills played all 3 and looked great in all of them. Should be locked in all serious sides.

 

[Hondo]

Yes it seems Mills is a lock the question then becomes do you need both him and Parish?

I see Davis $102k has started well tonight.

Parish won't do anything that a 123k rookie can't do for you imo.

I think his JS might be better

I'm a Hawks fan. I'm big on SC - bored waiting to someone to be good enough to compete with us

I think we have fans of all clubs on the SCC forums.
It's one of the good things about the community. As the supporters usually know their own players better than the other supporters their input regarding their own club is valuable.

I like SC because I get to know (almost) all the players instead of just the Sainters.

Agree with that. I think Parish won't get as many games as some might think. Many reasons for that:
- No sub so they need to be relied on to play 4 strong quarters
- Reduced rotations so they need to be out there for longer
- If the Bombers are getting flogged each week he might get better experience in a competitive VFL team
- They won't want to burn-out their prized draft pick in his first year
- Even if he does play every week, the above points probably mean his scoring might not be too flash if he's hiding in a pocket at the end of every quarter.

He'll get games for sure, but not enough with enough scoring to make him worthwhile at that price in my mind.

A lot of the points above apply to many of the 18yo/19yo rookies in their first-year. Mills is probably the exception as he's already been playing NEAFL. Weitering looks too good for VFL and won't need to do as many kms as the midfielders. Both will probably still get rests or VFL-time to manage their minutes though.

Disappointing that Gore didn't get much of a run tonight. He may be named rd 1 but doesn't fill me with a lot of confidence.

Typical response from a Hawks supporter.

Anyone picking Sicily as a fwd option now that it looks like he will take Roughies spot??

$222k is too much for me

Hewett might find a spot in the Swans team R1, JS is a worry though
