My Top Five Rookies (<$200k) of the week:
1) B Staker (Def /Fwd $128k) aka glass-jaw, aka rolly-eyes. Ok, maybe harsh, but all in good fun as in reality Staker is the best rookie going around at the moment by quite some distance. Let me make it simple, if you haven’t got him, GET HIM! He’s a Def/Fwd, so I’m sure you can find a spot to slot him in and make some easy cash. Staker is recovering from two knee recos and had 12 disposals, 6 marks kicking a goal scoring 73 points first up, and then improved this week have 17 disposals, 6 marks, kicking a goal and scoring 98 points.
End rookie review, get Staker! ….. unless you already have him, or need two rooks.
2) M Hutchings (Mid $109k) A former StKilda rookie who was nabbed at pick 60 in the draft. He spent last season playing midfield in the WAFL and is a ready-made backup for the weagles midfield. He played in round 7, had 15 touches, took 4 marks and layed 7 tackles scoring 55 points. Then had a break and came back this week, started with the green vest but came on in the first qtr and had 22 touches, 8 marks and 4 tackles giving him 86 points.
3) S Colquhoun (Mid/Def $109k) Taken at pick number 3 in the pre-season draft, and was also in Big Sexy’s pre-season team and has finally made his way into the PA side. He also played his first back in round 7 and had 17 disposals, 2 marks and a tackle scoring 50 points. This week he had 15 disposals, and 5 marks scoring 34 points. His Mid/Def capability does make him more attractive with the bye rounds upon us.
4) N Hrovat (Mid $114k) Hrovat was taken at pick 21 in the draft and you would think likely to get opportunity in a hapless dogs outfit. He has only played the one game but impressed with 19 disposals, 4 marks, 1 goal and 4 tackles bringing home 84 points. Hold fire if you can, but keep him on the Radar.
5) S Grimley (Ruck $115k) A project player who was drafted in 2009, and now 22yo, 199cm and 97kgs. I think he’s a prime candidate to get a regular run and the Hawks ruck stocks are not the greatest with the likes of Hale and Roughy running around. Grimely has only played the one but had 14 disposals, 7 marks and a goal resulting in 82 points. He also took the red vest at 3 Qtr time. Hold fire till next week.

Hmmmm, thinking I might get Staker
Trying squeeze staker and Gibbs into my side and fall short by 5k. Fair to say I’m not happy lol
Thanks BS.
Staker replaces Neede & Watson replaces Dwyer and now no more trades for a few weeks…… I hope
Here’s hoping Bucks will stop making B.Kennedy the sub so he can crack the 250k mark by rnd.13!!
Anyone else looking at their Ruck rookies and thinking yuck
I have Daw and Gawn stinking it up on the pine. R11 will be ugly as I’ll have Maric and Leun out…………
Wanted more from Gorringe last week
Just saw this in the Sun
Matthew Leuenberger (finger) 4-6 weeks
Need some help guys?
T/U = M.Kruezer
T/D = Z.Clarke
McEvoy averaging 106 this year so far
Could be $500k next week.
I’m thinking of doing a double downgrade this week. One is obviously Staker (for Neade but could be for Terlich depending on injury news).
My other trade would be Daw. If he plays this week and scores 40-50 points this week he is due to drop by $35k. Could bring in Grimley one week early.
That would give me $430k in the war chest for a double upgrade next week.
Anyone else considering the double downgrade this week to avoid Daw’s price crash?
Leunbergers time to go now but need some cash, so:
Mayes > Staker
Leunberger > Nic Nat
Just cannot get a break with my Team.
Luey what he hell, my side seems to be in permanent damage control.
1. Pav
2. Rioli
3. Daisy
4. Waters
5. Shaw
7. Buddy’s poor start
8. Now Luey.
Thank god I picked Ablett at the start or I would be sitting with Zero Wins.
I might as well picked up Higgins, Kerr, Tambling and Tippet and be done with it.
Does anyone think Sinclair (WCE) will get another game with both Cox and Nic Nat playing?
If not, Sinclair – Staker a sure thing.
Does Jed Lamb get a special mention in the rookie review? First lad i have ever seen go down from his 115k starting price!
definitely want hrovat but with the rd 11 bye there is no point getting him yet as he doesnt increase until after the break.
I like wanking
