First week of SC finals, and interest in rookies is starting to drop so I’m keeping it brief.
My Top Five Rookie’s (<$200k) of the week:
1) A Browne (Def $113k) Browne played 2 last year, and has now played 2 this year and had 17 disposals in each game. He had a 50 first up and has now pumped out a 79. His job security is questionable with the Bombers form, so wait for the Thursday teams before finalizing your decision.
2) S Wrigley (Def $94k) He not only has a great chewing gum, he now has two games under his belt with 8 disposals in each, and hasn’t exactly set the world on fire with scores of 39 and 52.
3) J Johannisen (Mid $113k) A quick midfielder who just had a massive boost to his potential job security with Lil’ Libba getting out on the juice and even worse, got caught. So Johannisen’s first up run with 17 disposals and a score of 72 is looking pretty good coming into SC finals.
4) A Riley (Mid 132k) Riley played 5 games last season, but has only just played his first of 2012 smashing out 17 disposals kicking a goal and laying 4 tackles resulting in 69 big ones.
5) M Talia (Def $106k) Very average first up run with 7 disposals and a goal, but the brother of Daniel for plays for the Crows dished out a modest 23 in his first up run, but he’s a cheap option.
Keep your eye out for Couch on Thursday night.

Tough call, I would recommend saving your trades. However, if you really want to upgrade, I’d suggest you need to look at who you will bring in and who will give you more upside as an upgrade.
