pr
As the only, and literally only ruck rookie available, looks like we are stuck with Braydon Preus (Ruck $150,000) who will give support for Goldi at North. He scored a respectable 69 during JLT, where he was the solo ruck. He also scored 76 in the same game as Goldi, which could give us some hope, but then followed up with a 35 which honestly is where Id expect a rookie back up ruck to lie. But its not like we have much of a choice.

Another export defender like Marchbank who looks to have a good role at their new club, Curtly Hampton (Def $204,000) had a very strong JLT series with 60, 89, 80 and is a popular choice. He has made the sunday extended bench selections peeps so no more concern (he was always going to be picked).

stew
With a few missing from Cats backline, it seems Tom Stewart (Def $172,000) has slotted straight in. With scores of 57, 93, 50 over the JLT, I can’t see any reason not to pick him up.

6:30 pm Thursday 22/03/2017

Special update.
Rookie upgrade deadline has occurred at 2pm today. The big one everyone has been looking for is Jake Barrett (Mid $150,000 ) so you can feel pretty safe leaving him in your mids for now, but do check team sheets to confirm.
Another to keep on your radar is Joel Smith (Def $150,000) for the dees. He scored 59 and 43 for his 2 JLT games.

6:20 pm Wednesday 22/03/2017

And the teams are named! As alluded to Sam Petrevski-Seton (Mid $240,000) is officially named for the Blues. Another popular rookie priced option Caleb Marchbank (Def $205,000) as to is Billie Smedts (Mid/Fwd $259,000) whose price is awkward but is an option. We also see cheap and popular rookie choice Jarrod Pickett(Mid/Fwd $150,000) named, who impressed over the JLT series, as did Dan Butler (Fwd $150,000) for the Tiges. A really nice selection of rookie options for our first match. Added advantage of being absolutely certain they will play, with access to late changes tomorrow night.
Toby Nankervis (Ruck/Fwd $365,000) removing all doubts named as sole ruck, and new New recruit Josh Caddy (Fwd/Mid $517,000) named in the guts for the Tiges as we were expecting.
Mainstay premium options are Dustin Martin (Mid $646,000), Sam Docherty (Def $609,000), Kade Simpson (Def $611,000) which all could be a decent enough VC loophole option if that takes your fancy. A few other worth considering as PODs are players such as Matthew Kreuzer (Ruck $431,000), Patrick Cripps (Mid $601,000), Marc Murphy (Mid $482,000), Trent Cotchin (Mid $585,000), Bachar Houli (Def $563,000), Brandon Ellis (Mid $540,000) among others.

6:00 pm Wednesday 22/03/2017

Teamsheets are back for 2017 from ~6:15pm tonight. Welcome back everyone! And we start with our perennial opening match of Blues vs Tigers. This is a partial lockout game in AFL Fantasy, and you will lose all chance to pick Blues or Tigers players for your starting squad Thursday 7:20pm EST, so make sure you have the players you want. You will only have a small opening to see which players are selected for the rest of the round from 6:15pm tomorrow before the first game starts, so make sure you check the weekends teamsheets!
Partial lockout means we do technically have a captain loophole opportunity, and I would still use the opportunity to choose a tiger or blues player as my VC. You do have to choose a non playing player to use the loophole which I don’t like as a strategy. But then again if your loophole VC somehow scores 150+ I would consider choosing say a R4 who isn’t playing, which many of us might be doing anyway due to lack of ruck rookie stocks. Dunno what a Captain loophole is? Refer to CALVINS CAPTAINS.
Already talk that pricey rookie Sam Petrevski-Seton (Mid $240,000) may debut for the blues. Some info about him here. Jason Castagna (Def $293,000) has been raised from the rookie list for Tiges, but even if named would be too pricey for most to choose.
Another handy little note, the remaining AFL teams have until Thursday 2pm to upgrade rookies, which may give us an indication of which rookies might get a game, and giving us a bit more time to play around with teams.

Lastly I have made a bit of a Fantasy league for fun. Feel free to join Invitation Code: U3JJ2RPA. First in best dressed.

butler
Why should you choose Dan Butler (Fwd $150,000)? Well apart from obvious, cheap, named round 1, went ok over JLT series scoring 74, 53, 33, just look at this play . That’s a 15 fantasy point play!

pick
Liam Pickett (Fwd/Mid $150,000) showed enough with his JLT games scoring 27, 26 with low %TOG and following up with an impressive 73. But its his DPP status of fwd/mid and price that makes me most likely to pick him, especially since mid rookies are looking slim pickings or should I say slim “Picketts” this year.

WHE
Will Hoskin-Elliott (Fwd $230,000) previously from GWS, and looking like he is good to go at his new club at the pies, Fantasy scores of 70, 45 and 68 over the JLT, you can see why WHE is a popular pick. He does come with a hefty pricetag for a potential cashcow so you will want him to perform.

eddy
Got a bit of a mancrush on this mature age rookie, Brett Eddy (Fwd $150,000) who is the SANFL goalkicking machine. Saw his first two JLT games where he scored quite low, but couldnt kick straight to save his life. I thought to myself, I reckon this guy could beast and snuck him in my forward bench and hoped no one else was looking. And then in his third JLT game he kicked 5. As a key forward his scores will depend on him kicking goals, so more ideal as a cashcow on the pine. But he has a powerful forward presence and could be the major Goal kicker for port this year.

js
Joel Smith (Def $150,000) could be a sneaky little defender rookie option only being upgraded this week to line up for the dees. He comes in with Colin Garland having a season ending knee injury, so his Job security seems pretty good. Being a key position defender would likely keep his scoring down. With scores of 43 and 59 from the JLT he could have the portential to be a slow burn rookie option.

With JLT scores of 86, 46, 63, and a cheap price tag Jake Barrett (Mid $150,000) who is only just elevated from the rookie list this week is a popular choice in the mids. Indeed due to the lack of cheap mid options hes almost the only choice. Jump on him!

jom
Jaeger O’Meara (Mid $364,000) looked great before he was befelled by injury at the suns. He looked great over the JLT series with his new team at the hawks, scoring 76, 98, and 47 with limited TOG. They got him to play in the guts. I cant see much wrong with choosing this gun mid pricer. Unless you consider him a chance to break down again.
