    With the Marsh Series kicking off on Thursday, here’s our opportunity to discuss this years Rookie options and your report on them.

    Here are a few talking points to consider in your assessments:

    - Price
    - Position
    - % Team Selection (SC)
    - Role Being Played
    - Stats (SC)
    - Minutes Played
    - Job Security
    - POD (Yeah/Nah)
    - Over Rated (Why?)

    And Rate your top 5 Rookies on each line -

      To add to that I’m about to board a cruise (sat) for 7 days and might be facing my own 14 day lock out if things go to shit

      P&O waited until we were all on board then cancelled the Cruise. Can’t even change my plans to watch a game - not allowed in.

      To be fair you're better off not being quarantined on a cruise ship. Sucks though.

      Yeah.. best outcome I suppose. They offered 100% refund or 200% credit.

      Ooft, take the credit and claim any other costs off your travel insurance.

      Remind me how it works for setting your initial team - do we have to be final before the Blues and Tigers start? Or can we continue to wait to see what rookies are named Friday?

      Only the Carlton and Richmond players will be locked in tonight, can keep changing the rest. I'm planning on having my Carlton, Richmond, Collingwood and Bulldogs players locked in by the game tonight and basically pick the rest of the team Saturday morning

      But I do think you need to fill all positions before tonight’s game. Just don’t use placeholders from Rich or Car!

      AFL website has turned into straightfire trash. Is there a website that has all the team announcements including emergencies?

      Not that I've found yet.

      However the SC website lists the emergencies (not sure if I can see that because of SC Gold or if everyone can see it).

      There are hardly any cheap DEF or MID players who have been selected to play. By my count, there are only two defenders under 150k that are playing in R1 and four (possibly 5 depending on Sunday games) midfielders under 150k. Plenty of cheap forwards at least.

      Yeah everyone has free trial so that's my workaround atm.

      Yeah mids and def rookies are scarce af. Trying to work out now if I can fit Noble in my backline.

      Cavarra or Davis worth it? Both small forward types, leaning towards the VFL product but both's JS seems crap.

      Green tick = playing
      Green circle = emergency/sunday bench

      Currently going with this:

      Roberton, Noble, BZT (Starch, Brander)
      Bonar, Rowell, Green (Pickett, Robertson, Budarick)
      Xerri
      Taylor, Cavarra (Bedford, King)

      Xerri could be Cameron or Williams tbh. Dunno who to pick let alone start of the cheap forwards tbh

      I was going to post the vomit emoji but tbh I don't like picking Bonar as well (he's just that mid "type" that should score)
