Another great week for rookie scores for the most part. Just 5 weeks left of the season and with limited trades new rookie options aren’t a priority.
There aren’t many great options this week so the best bet is to target the cheapest options that look to have decent job security. Kaleb Smith should hold his spot now and also Carroll, or if you have cover then a basement priced player with DPP is perfect.

Moyle has really shown that he can hold his own at AFL level with another great game. 16 touches, 7 contested, 4 marks, 7 clearances and 36 hitouts. Sweet won the ruck battle even before Nank was subbed out. He had 9 touches, 5 tackles, 4 clearances and 43 hitouts. Kreuger was subbed out very early on after a head knock which has him missing next week. 4 touches and 3 marks in just 22 minutes. Smith made his debut and was subbed out with 4 touches, 2 marks, 3 tackles and 3 hitouts from 9 contests.
