Having been hit by winter bug and home on my death-bed, a very brief rook-review… but better than nothing.
If you saw any of the rookies in action on the weekend, please feel free to share you insight in the comments.
My Top Five Rookie’s (<$200k) of the week:
1) J Howe (Fwd 175k) The Howe ship has started to sail, this week was another 21 disposals 12 marks, and kicked 2.1. He smashed out 107 points this week.
2) I Smith (Mid/Fwd 179k) I’ve learnt my lesson about pumping up Hawk rookies, as Clarko is going to send them back to the magoo’s quickly. Anyway, Smith finally got his third run after I broke one of my main rules and traded him in after one game. Smith didn’t disappoint in his return match, getting 21 touches, taking 9 marks, kicking 2 goals and lying 1 tackle. He also smashed out 107 points.
3) D Nicholson (Mid/Def 148k) A rookie listed player clearly having his best game getting 21 touches, taking 6 marks, kicking 1 goal and laying 4 tackles. He also scored 93 SC points.
4) L Dahlhaus (Fwd 99k) The long haired rookie listed Dahlhaus played a ripper for a skinny little guy. I’m not sure about his ability to back it up with a build like that. He racked up 18 touches, took 2 marks, kicked 1.1 and layed 4 tackles and scored a very respectable 69 points.
5) J Lisle (Def 110k) Lisle was a emergency for about ten weeks before finally getting a run and has now played two solid games. This week getting 15 touches and taking 6 marks, and scoring 58 points.

With roughy out and the kids in savage,bruest,smith & pops doing there part im hopeful clarko may stick with them for at least another a few games, ladson down helps smiths case aswell. He looked good I thought.
I had a good look at Dahlhaus on Friday. Geez I thought his attack on the footy was fantastic. He was very composed when given several hospital handpasses. He is certainly someone who will give 110% and that’s all you want from your rookies.
I Smith came off the bench and did me proud this week. Considering my next opponent is yourself, I will say no more.
Get well soon, BS.
what about a certain C. Pedersen…..smashing game…..he is missing from your list
Cam Pederson is over 200k mate.. His bubble has exploded!
Quick Callinan update: 2nd best (1 goal) in 2nd game back
Off the topic a bit but Adelaide’s Scott Stevens has announced his retirement this morning and will retire at the end of the season. He continues to suffer from post-concussion syndrome.
Off topic just checked Freo website and 211 is listed as a test
Smith isn’t 103k now
come on big toe!!!
good work BS ,get well and heaps of bed rest cobber . Gaff is still under $200 k .
is adcock plaing
Need help with these two rookies supplied by big sexy in his review.
I am downgrading Heppell this week as his price will drop further with a high break even.
D.Nicholson – thumbs up
J.Lisle – thunbs down
I am concerned over both job security, but need to choose!
yes I was wondering to- has Nicholson got a good job security?
And I was thinking of getting rid of Milburn coz he isnt doing great now and I dont reckon he will have a great end to the season?
so im thinking a downgrade to Strauss or Nicholson?
What about Bruest? I would have thought he deserved a mention by now..
