Benjy’s Rookie Radar โ€“ AFLW Round 4

Benjy looks back at how the rookies did in Round 4 of the AFLW

24 disposals. 14 tackles. Two marks. And a goal.

But more importantly, a whopping 134 points for ๐Ÿ Abbey Dowrick!

The new leader of the Charlie Rowbottom Medal blitzed the second highest score of the season – imagine if you put her on the bench like a certain writer did…

Rookies of the round

The votes for the Charlie Rowbottom Medal for best rookie of the season go to:

5. ๐Ÿ Abbey Dowrick (MID) 134

4. ๐Ÿ Hannah Ewings (FWD) 98

3. ๐Ÿฆ‰ Jasmine Fleming (MID) 81

3. ๐Ÿฆข Montana Ham (MID) 81

3. โš“๏ธ Megan Kauffman (FWD) 81

Leaderboard: ๐Ÿ Dowrick (10), ๐Ÿ Ewings (9), ๐Ÿฏ Sheerin (8), ๐Ÿฆข Eastman (5), ๐Ÿ McGrath (4), ๐Ÿฆ‰ Smith (4), ๐Ÿฆข Ham (4).

Cash is queen

The biggest price rises by rookies this round were:

๐Ÿ Abbey Dowrick (MID) $17,100

๐Ÿ Hannah Ewings (FWD) $13,200

โœˆ๏ธ Stephanie Wales (RUCK) $11,600

๐Ÿ”ต Keeley Skepper (MID) $11,300

โš“๏ธ Megan Kauffman (FWD) $10,500

Trade targets

๐Ÿฆข Montana Ham | MID, $65,600, 30%

It’s strange to put Ham as a trade target considering she was a hyped pick 1 and owned by a majority of coaches in Round 1.

But she returned from her knee injury with a bang, pumping out an 81 with 83% CBAs to back up her 67 on debut.

It’s a lot to pay for a rookie but Ham’s price is set to rocket if she can keep this up.

๐Ÿถย Keely Coyne | MID, $34,400, 3%

Coyne scored 57 in her debut and is a handy downgrade target for one of your three trades this round.

She racked up an impressive six tackles and had a strong 3:1 kick:handball ratio.

Side note

๐Ÿ Abbey Dowrick’s 134 was so massive that half of her score (67) would’ve polled votes in the first three rounds!

And spare a thought for ๐ŸŸ  Jodie Hicks, whose 75 missed out on votes this week but would’ve polled four votes in Round 1 and 2, and five votes in Round 3.
