BS Rookie Review Round 9

Written by Big Sexy on May 24 2011

My Top Five Rookie’s (<$200k) of the week:
1) T Lynch (Fwd 138k) This is the first time I’ve given top billing to someone who didn’t play. Well that is what the bye does for you. Lynchy played his two games leading into the GC bye. He’s 199cm and 91kg’s, fairly mobile for a big man. He did way better than expected in his first game scoring a massive 95 SC points and backed it up again with another 82 SC Points. Lynch had 19 disposals, took 10 marks (amazing… and 9 marks in his first game) and kicked 2 goals… so fairly impressed.
2) B Jacobs (Mid/Def 113k) Jacobs was Ports first choice in last years draft and I believe would have been set to play round 1, if it wasn’t for a bout of glandular fever. Jacobs starred for Vic Metro last year averaging 29 possies a game. Anyway, Jacobs is back now and had a quiet first up run getting 14 touches and 38 SC points, and this week Jacobs went to another level with 22 disposals took 5 marks, kicked 1.1 and layed 3 tackles and finished up with 75 SC points. Oh, and Jacobs has great Job Security with Port having nothing but the future to focus on.
3) M Hibberd (Mid/Def 154k) Hibberds third run on the rookie review, but still great value at 154k. I’m still a little concerned he hasn’t had more opportunity since two permanent spots opened for the Bombers with Dempsey and Winderlich’s ACL’s. However, Hocking being suspended for 3 weeks will help, so hopefully wont be forced out when Hurley returns. This was the best of his three games racked up a lazy 75 points.
4) P Puopolo (Def 154k) Puopolo’s job security got a big boost when Gillham went down for the season, as I was quite concerned about his job security…. And with opportunity, comes confidence. Puopolo is still great value at 154k, but this is your last real chance to pick him up. He racked up with 71 SC Points this week and picked up 14 disposals, 1 mark and 5 tackles.
5) M Evans (Mid 91k) or L Delaney (Def 103k) These two boys are both actual “Rookie listed” and have both played a single game and both bargain basement prices. They picked up 74 and 76 SC points respectively. Evans had 27 disposals, 9 marks and 6 tackles, yet efficiency must have been low for that score, whilst Delaney had 9 disposals, 2 marks and 3 tackles. If your considering either of these two, do yourself a favor and wait till next week.

Here is the rookie data for you to analyse in your spare time, and form your own opinions:

  1. jacobs looks very handy. Great effort to come in after Glandular Fever and have an immediate impact. Port have some good small players but if they don’t find 3-4 key position players soon they could be fighting GWS for the spoon for 3 years

  2. Another fine read, well done Big Sexy! Young Ben Jacobs at the Power was the only shining light I saw last Saturday at AAMI, pick him up this week if you do not already have him. I think his job security is pretty good and imo will play the rest of the season barring injury. For those of you interested in Mzungu, was quiet on the day, but given 1st up from a spell will be better for the run and will be letting him have another run this week before recruiting him into my side. Stating the obvious with Fyfe and Nick Lower but fair dinkum neither of them had an opponent and was surprised that Fyfe’s score wasn’t bigger than Lower’s. Fyfe was playing the loose man across half back and did as he pleased. Oh well on to round 10 – all the best supercoachers.

  3. Thanks BS! Great Analysis.
    After cashing in on two cash cows last week (for Hibberd and Puopolo, I need to decide if I:
    a) go again for Lynch, Jacobs or both
    b) upgrade to GAJ, Montagna or both
    c) some combo of a & b
    d) save the trades
    got $500k in the bank and 16 trades up my sleeve.
    Tough decisions, but not a bad posi to be in.

    I do have Tappy and Higgins so i’m leaning towards at least one trade this week, if not two. And with one of my biggest league matches this round, at least one upgrade.
    From there barring LTIs I reckon the team is stable enough for a couple of weeks.
    Man I love supercoach!

  4. Tapscott – Lynch is a lock

    Not sure whether to downgrade to Jacobs or upgrade Hodge/Montagna/GAJ

    Toy/Stanley/Swallow for Jacobs thumbs up
    Swallow for Hodge/Montagna/GAJ

  5. Just alerting those that are interested:

    Cam Pederson:
    Def – $109,700
    Rnd 1: 114 (close loss to WC in WC playing as lone ruck)
    Rnd 7: 61 (thrashed by Gee in Gee playing as defender)
    Kicked 8 for Werribee vs Northern Bullants on the weekend and likely to be considered for senior selection. Massive BE at -100 with a predicted rise of ~$70K.

    Not going near him myself due to JS issues but, just alerting people to the facts. If i was Brad Scott i’d be playing him ahead of Scotty McMahon and to a lesser extent Daniel Pratt and Lachie Hansen.

  6. Oh and ‘Car Keys’ Delaney looks a real find. Played on Jono Brown for much of the night and although Brown kicked four two of these were from 50m penalties, neither of which were Delaney’s fault.

    JS may be an issue with Grima set to return soon and Tarrant and Pederson on the sidelines. Too many good talls at North, plenty of inside ball winners, not enough outside runners. Sack Scott and install Roo Bloke as coach!!

  7. Last 2 weeks Issac Smith was the most loved rookie, this week he doesn’t even get a mention!

  9. Buckley from Collingwood or Stanley from Gold Coast. Just after people’s thoughts on who to trade out first. Both their prices are still rising, but I need to trade one out this week for Jacobs.

  10. Two downgrades again this week – want to sure up the second wave of quality rookies before I start upgrading

    Most likely trades:

    Batchelor -> Jacobs
    Tappy -> Lynch (tossing up between Lynch and I Smith like most – feel that Lynch has better JS than Smith and no byes – although the rotation policy could get him at some point)

    Mzungu in next week for Swallow will have me down to 14 trades with about $900K in the bank, and the commencement of upgrade season will be upon us!

  11. What does everyone think about bringing in Ablett?
    I’m starting to get worried about his consistency. Will he be in the top 6 mids by end of season? Also are there better options because some others don’t have question marks like Garry.

    Thumbs up- Bring him in
    Thumbs down- Better options

    Help would be great.

    And one thing, Thanks everyone for helping me with my team this year this has really helped me, Mott’s, Duck and BS thanks heaps. Keep it up!

    cheers

  12. Fellas, I am picking up Pendles and Jacobs, need help who to trade for (already got Lynch and Smith).

    BACKS: Deledio, Shaw, Fisher, Heppell, Gibbs, Broughton, Lower, Stanley, Batchelor, Hibberd

    MIDS: Swan, Selwood, Boyd, Goddard, Goodes, Libba, Swallow, Harris, Prestia

    I am thinking Jacobs should come in for a MID, to give me more D/M flexibility. Probably Prestia and also Libba, as he’s inconsistent wheras Swallow and Harris rack up their 80-90 most games.

    Good idea?
