2019 planning

[samFFC]

Rocky was one of the best clearence players in the league before we got him. We didnt get him to be a forward he was just injured last year.

So are you saying to lock him in?

 

[Iceman!]

Watts in the 90's also... I'm waiting to see Rocky in r1 vs Demons before commiting at this stage.

I am reading as much in to this game as i would an NBA All star game, no defence played today and it's hard to take too much from it.

 

[Rendaw]

Scott, Drew & Duursma locked in field rookie positions.

 

[Shadow89]

Oh Rocky...once a pig, always a pig. Getting those +6's in the backline in the last minute. Just beautiful to watch

 

[TheRednWhite]

ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTYYYY

 

[Rendaw]

He is priced at 83 and scored 184 points. 100 points underpriced is better cash generation than any rookie.

 

[Corby_4]

184 and only 1 tackle.
Wow ...

 

[atlas1]

24 tackles in total for North. Lol

 

[Shadow89]

143 - 84 marks, there's your game right there. Rocky won't get 17 marks every week, but he's still clearly got the ceiling

Ken will be out on his ear if he doesn't change things up this year though won't he? Agree there's a bit of risk there but Port have to have someone play midfield without Wines/Winguard and Rocky has shown he really doesn't have the ability to play the forward role he had a bunch of the time last year.

He's very stubborn though. I'm probably the opposite of bias, I'm very critical of my own side and how we operate so I'd take my thoughts with a grain of salt! Hard to ignore the highest JLT score this year (maybe ever? 184 is massive)

Think, if he'd had 5 tackles (as opposed to one), which is nothing for him. He would have gone 200

 

[VSTone]

184 ffs

 

[Rendaw]

Port played what they thought would be their round 1 side. I think Rocky has done enough to lock himself into his position.

So realistically in a normal game he would be expected to get half the marks, and probably 5-10 less possessions with the increased tackling pressure. But should get an extra tackle or two.
So loses 50 points from the above, but gets back 5-10. So ceiling more likely 140ish but that's still huge!

Yeah I'd say he would have gone 125-140 today in a normal game, the way he was playing. Means that he's at a minimum, 40 points underpriced. Hinkley's tendency to shuffle around is frustrating though, and I am slightly worried about him using Rocky to tag Oliver or Bray in Round 1

 

[happy_eagle]

Rocky still had 60 from 60% last week (1ppm). My M1-M4 is far from settled right now and Rocky is a chance.
Think I will need to free up coin to go Grundy/Gawn in the ruck though. Preuss injured himself today, and Kreuzer isn't named for JLT2

 

[TheRednWhite]

Rocky M4. Ceiling too big to ignore and he won't go under 90 with the role he had today.

 

[Beau_Waters for PM]

Scott, Dew & Duursma locked in field rookie positions.

Came out of retirement and onto the rookie list!

Rookie list or Cookie list ?

 

[PAFC27]

Anybody at the traders Adelaide show at the Alma tonight?

 

[TheRednWhite]

Gawn is really stepping it up today. Going to be annoying scrambling for the cash to get him at R2 when we know that Preuss is definitely not named for round 1. Wish I could've got another look at Goldy to see if he is the real deal and can average 100. Kreuz is also such an unknown at this stage.

 

[PAFC27]

Tom Rockliff sent Roy a message after the game.

""

That might be enough to pick him. Love the initiative from the Rockpig

 

[JADED]

Rookie list or Cookie list ?

Hilarious. cookie-list. Love it.

 

[samFFC]

Current midfield:
Brayshaw
Neale
Taranto
Rockliff
Brouch
Miles
Cousins
Walsh

Could be madness!

Goldy finished strong last year didn’t he? Reckon he can match Gawn or at least get within 5 for the start of the season. If you use that extra 130k to gain 10+ points somewhere else, it’s already a win. Also, don’t think I can go in with the two 800k rucks. Only way is down for both of them, only see them matching last year at best.
