Reserves Rookie Review – Round 7

Written by Alza on May 3 2023

This week saw a few rookies returning or playing their first games of the year in their respective reserves league.  There are still a lot of players putting together strong seasons which should see some more rookies getting their chance in the big time and hopefully into our sides.

  1. Thanks for the rap Alza- some promising performers- especially strong are the GC reserves!!!
    Not much on bubble next week- getting to the stage where might have to take punt on players even after just one game. Not much cash gen.
    Desperately need players such as Worner, Fahey or Blakey to be named soon!

    1. Thanks MickDundee.

      Yeah the rookies are drying up a bit but I’m still hopeful we will see a few decent ones come through like Fahey, Worner and Clark from Geelong plus Weddle and with Chesser returning in a couple weeks. We can bring him in again as a downgrade option as his price will be low still even after 1 game back.

      The Suns players are playing well and all scoring well too but are finding it hard to come into the AFL side. I never really thought Atkins would get a game or many so we’ll see what they do as you would think Constable being a fair bit younger would be picked over him as both are playing well.
