It is round 9 teamsheet time, and we are all hoping desperately for some valid downgrade options. There are 27 changes to Fri/Sat teams, and 5 confirmed outs so far for Sunday squads.
With only Fraser McInnes and Seb Tape with negative break evens, there simply isn’t a lot of downgrades on offer. Luckily the Fantasy gods seem to have rewarded us with quite a few. A mature age rookie ruck debuting for the Suns might be just what we were looking for. A couple of popular defenders out for Hawks, but one big name back in. Big names out for Blues. And interesting twist with a big Dogs ruck.
Fantasy Relevant Omissions :
Judd, Murphy, Gibbs are all out.
Newton out for Dees. If you haven’t already sold, now you need to.
Ryder – Omitted
Leslie rookie didn’t make the cut for Gold Coast.
Birchall, Suckling, Langford all out for the big scoring expected game against suns.
Goodes, Cordy, Talia, Jong out, but is Cordy really out?
Yeo – taking his 1 week punishment.
Fantasy Relevant Inclusions :
Graham – Just above rookie priced.
Clurey – Def rookie option
Hodge – Back in to bolster our defences. He should run amok this week.
Minson – but is he in? will depend on his appeal
McBean – Back in to cover Vickery
Geary, Lonie, Riewoldt
Colledge Barrass, Kolodjashnij, Luxford- extended bench rookies
Majak Daw, named on extended bench.
New Rookies
Keegan Brooksby
GC Ruck ($120k AF, 102.9k RDT)
With so few ruck rookies playing, and such a lack of downgrade targets, Brooksby will be a popular trade in this week. Worst case scenario he sits in r4 position. Best case, he gets a few games and even provides cover over byes.
Tom Clurey
PORT (Def. $120k, 22 be AF. $158k RDT)
Jackson Trengove injury has given Clurey a chance. KPP so dont expect big scores.
Daniel Robinson
SYD (Mid. $120k AF, $124.6k RDT)
Screams sub to me, but one to keep an eye on.
Nick Graham
CARL (Fwd. $266k, 70 be AF. $296.3k RDT)
Judd Murphy Gibbs out gives this “expensive rookie” a chance. With so few downgrade options he is worth a mention.
Daniel Howe
HAWKS (Def. $205k AF, $117.9k RDT)
A hawks def rookie from left field.
Joel Hamling
WB (Def. $120k AF$124.6k RDT)
A defender on the radar preseason finally gets a shot.
Liam McBean RICH Fwd. ($120k AF $124.6k RDT) is also an inclusion, but would like only be as long as Griffiths or Vickery are out.
New Rookies listed for Sunday games are Michael Luxford, Jake Kolodjashnij, Brant Colledge, Tom Barrass, Jonathon Marsh.
Of those I like JK the best, PORT Def. ($120k AF 124.6k RDT). See if these players make the final cut before considering.
Some Rookies that kept their spots Karl Amon, Connor Menadue, Corey Ellis, Bailey Dale, Jack Fitzpatrick, and Fraser McInnes.
Sunday Games: Jackson Nelson, Blake Acres, Eli Templeton, Liam Dawson, Trent Dumont. Check tomorrow afternoon to see if they make the final cut.
For more information on any of these rookies refer to Jeppa’s Juniors.
Other Thoughts
The Fantasy Gods actually graced us with a few new rookie choices this week, and there is a lot of good defence rookie options for once.
As already noted Minson is named but that will depend on his appeal result.
Hodge back against Goldcoast should be one to grab if you want a quick score. The interesting game to watch for me DT wise is Calrton vs Sydney. Can the young rookies of Carlton rise to get decent scores? Both Hawks and Sydney could have massive scores this week.
Out of Amon, Dumont and Acres sub conundrum, I still think Amon is best chance to break into team, others are sunday listed. Swallow back in is bad news for Dumont.
Of the def rookies, there is a lot of talk about Jake Kolodjashnij, if he is named he might be worth a shot. Hamling is another who we were surprised he hasnt been named yet. Clurey is more of a KPP, and will hold his spot only as long as Trengrove is out.
NOTE: Minson successfully appealed and will be playing, meaning Cordy is out.
Will Minson’s appeal has been upheld by the VFL tribunal. He’s free to play this weekend, but has received a reprimand and $7500 fine.
