2018 Rookies

Now that J Garlett has been named would it be worth having him on the bench compared to D Fogarty to use the extra $36k elsewhere ?

I'd like to hear peoples' thoughts on Garlett too. I haven't looked into him much.

Tom Cole confirmed as unavailable for Round 1. Still select him on the bench for Rd 1 with the expectation he will return Rd 2?

No for me. Too much money on the bench. Lachlan Murphy sounds like he's very close to playing so I've gone with him but will opt for another rookie like Mihochek if he's named.

Is it just me, or after all the talk of the back rookies are we actually left with very few to choose from??

Doedee, Finlayson, Naughton, Murray and Murphy might be all we have to choose from. They're all good options, although Murphy seems to have pretty sketchy JS. But the talk of rookies from D3 looks dead and buried. In fact, I find myself reassessing my structure and potentially only going in with 4 defensive rookies (unfortunately after I've already passed on Simmo and Garlett....).

Yep! Goodbye Cole, Coffison and OShea. Hope the guys left keep playing

MOC is an option D/M named on extended bench for Cats.

Thoughts on L Murphy's job security? I'm weighing up between him and Keeffe.

 

[Tangentleman]

Not sure if many others were planning on picking him, but I see Will Brodie ended up as an emergency. Thought he looked the goods for a definite start but I guess not.
I am thinking of swapping to LDU. Anyone else got better suggestions? Already have Brayshaw, Banfield, Barry, Holman, Kelly

JS for Barry ?

GEELONG will unveil at least three debutants against Melbourne on Sunday.

Mature-age draftee Tim Kelly, first-year midfielder Lachlan Fogarty and 19-year-old Esava Ratugolea will be blooded at the MCG.

Coach Chris Scott stopped short of confirming the final bench spot between Jordan Cunico, Mark O'Connor, Zach Guthrie, Jordan Murdoch and a potential fourth debutant Charlie Constable.

Mark O'connor looks tempting anyone watched him through the JLT? 2nd year player and player a midfield role in the JLT.

 

[Dash]

1. I have 3 mid rookies on field. Bradshaw, Banfield, Clarke (Barry, Holman, Kelly)
Not sure about Clarke for LDU or O,Connor. Thoughts for that m8?
2. I have Olango and Dusty VC. Is it worth Getting English as he's playing? Trying to get Cash is better or doesn't matter.

Late withdrawal.
