1
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:10,320
Speaker 1: The backbones any good Super Coach team are the rookies.

2
00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:12,680
Speaker 1: And we're almost there. It's almost time for the first

3
00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:16,320
Speaker 1: Super Coach lockout and that means you must finalize those

4
00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:19,400
Speaker 1: cheapy selections. We've talked about a lot of names over

5
00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:22,520
Speaker 1: the preseason. It's time to narrow it down. It's time

6
00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:25,440
Speaker 1: to make the big calls. This is the Phantom speaking

7
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:27,360
Speaker 1: and of course to make those big calls. I am

8
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:31,760
Speaker 1: joined by Geelong Advertiser Award winning journal This bloke's had

9
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:33,680
Speaker 1: a huge year, but he's still found time for the

10
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:34,479
Speaker 1: Rookie Bible.

11
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:35,640
Speaker 2: Dan Batton welcome.

12
00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:39,959
Speaker 3: Well, you know, flowing up to Sydney for Nada War,

13
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 3: but this is the real priority here doing this remotely

14
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:48,640
Speaker 3: with you, Fansom, No, it's it's almost here the Super

15
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:49,320
Speaker 3: Coach season.

16
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 4: There's plenty of rookies to discuss.

17
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 1: There is, and we've done a Rookie Bible previously. Earlier

18
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:56,360
Speaker 1: in the preseason we looked through a lot of names.

19
00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:59,440
Speaker 1: We were pretty boying about the crop this year, but

20
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 1: things have changed a little bit. The midfield where the

21
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 1: rookie's gone. Defense looks like it's strong forward line. Who

22
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 1: do we pick? So plenty of decisions to make and

23
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 1: if you are just joining us, we are going to

24
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 1: quickly run through the must have, the players that you

25
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 1: need to pick, the chieps that you need to stack

26
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:16,520
Speaker 1: in your side, and those to consider that ahead of

27
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 1: the first team sheets for twenty twenty six.

28
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,039
Speaker 2: Let's get straight into it. Dan defense.

29
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 1: Now, we've been happy with the defender crop the whole preseason.

30
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 1: That hasn't changed. Opening rounds here, we've got some scores,

31
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:32,480
Speaker 1: which makes some guys even more of we must have

32
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 1: sections than they were maybe previously must haves in defense?

33
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:37,680
Speaker 2: Where are we start?

34
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:40,959
Speaker 4: We're going to fly it through here.

35
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:44,279
Speaker 3: So on my field at the moment is Sam Grill,

36
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 3: Jays Wrong and Lucky Jakes. We've got to look at

37
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:51,520
Speaker 3: Jayce wrong and Lucky Jake's over opening round so wrong

38
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 3: with seventy seven and Jakes's eighty four both with you

39
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 3: around the fifteen to twenty disposal mark and used it

40
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 3: really well, So big ticks there. Jake looks like he

41
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 3: has a better job security than we thought at the start.

42
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 3: Others to consider in the strongly consider category, you've got

43
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:11,640
Speaker 3: Josh Gidkiss.

44
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 4: He was a rookie for US a couple of years ago.

45
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:17,080
Speaker 3: Obviously, had all those injury issues, but one hundred and

46
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 3: thirty nine k he's intercepting. I think he could, at

47
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 3: his best potentially be a Zach Reid type from last year,

48
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:27,920
Speaker 3: but obviously there is a little bit of concern there

49
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 3: and he'll probably be He's do in a little bit.

50
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 3: Michael Selwood, we saw we've got to look at him

51
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 3: for the Bulldogs. Mature age average one hundred and twenty

52
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 3: in the Waffle and eighty in the VFL as well,

53
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:39,800
Speaker 3: popped a seventy.

54
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:40,840
Speaker 4: He was started a bit.

55
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 3: Slow, but I think he looks a pretty good pick.

56
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 3: He's done media as well today an interview, so that's

57
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 3: always a good sign that clubs are backing him in.

58
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 3: In terms of job security, I still have Josh Lindsay

59
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 3: on my bench. He's won a bit of a wait

60
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 3: and see, but he looked really good during the practice

61
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:01,119
Speaker 3: games and Jacob Farrow his names as well. I think

62
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 3: I'll be picking him maybe the midfield.

63
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 1: But he was to be said, yeah, he was one

64
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:08,519
Speaker 1: that we talked about big time on the last show.

65
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 1: But Brad Scott come out last night he says there

66
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,240
Speaker 1: will be one dead bid time. He's not going to

67
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:15,520
Speaker 1: just play the kids for the sake of it. Is

68
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 1: he playing funny Buggers a few days out? We have

69
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 1: to wait and see, But Barrows fits into that category. Yeah,

70
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:23,959
Speaker 1: in the if he is named, he's one that does

71
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 1: move up in the pecking order. But I've got those

72
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 1: names on my field too, Grill Throng, Jakes and then

73
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 1: he's talking to Michael Seal. But those guys have got

74
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 1: those scores in their three round price cycle. We know

75
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 1: we want scores on field, but we just want to

76
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 1: make money with these guys. And we've got the guaranteed

77
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 1: score of good ones for rookies in the system already,

78
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 1: so that what makes those guys you know, almost must

79
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 1: have given you know, there's so much uncertainty Josh Lindsay.

80
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 1: We know he's a good player, good kick, but hasn't

81
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 1: played yet. Don't know what he's going to do in

82
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 1: his first game. We know what Lockie Jakes and Joyce

83
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 1: wrong are going to score in their first game because

84
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 1: of opening rounds, So anyone we need to ignore. Now

85
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 1: we're getting a bit hopeful with Carlton, so their fans

86
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 1: been let down again. Harry Dean Wade Dirks in the

87
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 1: ninety nine K rookie SSP signing. Are we going to

88
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 1: see him? He's going to come in.

89
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:18,679
Speaker 4: I wouldn't rule it out for sure.

90
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 3: I think if he's there, I'd be very tempted to

91
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 3: pick him on the bench over a give kiss. Great

92
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 3: numbers in the VFOL last year, huge intercept numbers and

93
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:32,239
Speaker 3: we love that in Super Coach, and he scored really

94
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 3: well in that practice in that community was game just

95
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:38,599
Speaker 3: after being SSP. So he's a watch Harry Dean. I

96
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 3: think we're just the other options available. I think last

97
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,360
Speaker 3: year when we were struggling for defenders and in previous years,

98
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:46,040
Speaker 3: we might pick him. But there's just so many options

99
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:48,160
Speaker 3: around in defense that he could probably afford to just

100
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 3: watch him and maybe jump on him in a couple

101
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:53,279
Speaker 3: of weeks. Bill Parker is another one who looks to

102
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 3: have decent job security, but I don't think the scoring

103
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 3: is there for him. For the Collingwood defender, the former

104
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 3: Hobart Hurricanes. So yeah, I think it's probably that group

105
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:05,480
Speaker 3: of defenders that we listed before.

106
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 4: But I did watch on Dirks and for teams later

107
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 4: in the week.

108
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:12,039
Speaker 1: Yep, So those three must have Sam Gurril, Jaycerong Lockie

109
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 1: Jake's in defense start there and a lot of people

110
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 1: are picking Harry Dean. I do like him as well.

111
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:19,839
Speaker 1: It might be a bit more of a slow burn.

112
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 1: If you're going to back yourself in you want to

113
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:24,039
Speaker 1: back the talent, do so. But the three must have

114
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:27,279
Speaker 1: at the top there. Let's move on to the midfield now,

115
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:30,719
Speaker 1: usually in Super Coach most years it's the midfield where

116
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 1: the biggest cash cows come from. The rock solid on

117
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 1: field options. Where have they gone down?

118
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 2: We're not.

119
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 1: We were happy again over summer, but they're falling away.

120
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 1: Jaggers Smith from the Blues is the must have rookie

121
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 1: in any position for tweeny twenty six.

122
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:47,719
Speaker 2: You don't have him.

123
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 1: Stop watching this video, go put him on field now

124
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:52,599
Speaker 1: because you have to have him. But there's not a

125
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 1: lot of other must have rookies in terms of starting

126
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:59,120
Speaker 1: positions in twenty sweets. Give them what we saw in

127
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:01,599
Speaker 1: opening around, given what we've seen potentially on the track

128
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:05,680
Speaker 1: and in the Amy series. Tom Blamaire's another SSB selection

129
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:09,239
Speaker 1: playing at the Kangaroo scored very well in the Amy

130
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 1: series ninety nine k He's on my bench again. If

131
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 1: he is name, which we hoping he is, He's one

132
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 1: that you can lock on to your bench. Given nine

133
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 1: nine K, we doesn't have to do as much as

134
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:24,600
Speaker 1: a one nineteen K, and then one fifty plus K

135
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 1: is going to make one hundred and fifty K, which

136
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:30,480
Speaker 1: is the minimum we want from our rookies in super coach,

137
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:32,039
Speaker 1: he's going to make that a lot quicker than others

138
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:34,120
Speaker 1: if he's out there for the opening month or so.

139
00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 1: Apart from that where we going down on my bench

140
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 1: at the moment, I do have Jack Carroll from the

141
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 1: Saints scored in the fifties. We had a lot of

142
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:46,360
Speaker 1: the ball, that half back roll that we saw over

143
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 1: the preseason. We heard the Saints talk about did come

144
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 1: to fruition against the Suns. So against the Pies on

145
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 1: Sunday night. He's on my bench the moment one nineteen K.

146
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:58,920
Speaker 1: He's been there before. He's more read to go than

147
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:01,039
Speaker 1: some of the draft 's thought. But he's on my

148
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:05,280
Speaker 1: bench without confidence is probably the wrong word. If the

149
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:08,120
Speaker 1: wait and see what happens a team selection. Jack Watkins

150
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 1: another ninety nine K option at the power now. I

151
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 1: was hoping for Will Brody. I'm surprised it's taken Dan

152
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 1: this long to actually mention him. He's not on this

153
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:19,880
Speaker 1: list because we've been told, we keep hearing that maybe

154
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 1: it is Jack Watkins who did play in the Amy

155
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 1: Series game that is ahead of Will Brody and will

156
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 1: replace Olly Wynes in that midfield at least the first

157
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 1: couple of rounds. So a nine to nine K midfielder

158
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 1: mature age at rookie draft from a couple of years ago,

159
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 1: was a North VFL captain before that.

160
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:36,760
Speaker 2: That's what we love him. That is super coach goals.

161
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:38,240
Speaker 1: Oh we're picking him on the bench if he is

162
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 1: named Chase Jones as well, one hundred and nineteen K.

163
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 2: He's been there for years.

164
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 1: Might not set the super coach scoring a light, but

165
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 1: he's probably going to be there on a wing for

166
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:50,520
Speaker 1: the Crows at the moment of the midfield bench. That's

167
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 1: what we want Dan anyone else. Willem Deurzmer the Chief,

168
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 1: if you haven't listened to the Lair, which I know

169
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:58,559
Speaker 1: you're a long time listener of the Lair, the Chief

170
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:02,080
Speaker 1: is trying to push across William Dursmy. You know William

171
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 1: Dursm more than anyone. I think number one pick in

172
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 1: Super Coach though, is he worth paying for given the shortage.

173
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:15,680
Speaker 3: Usually I'm big on picking the early selections in super Coach,

174
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 3: sort of back him in regardless of their price. But

175
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 3: I just think Dursmo is probably going to start more

176
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 3: as an outside player. Sorry DOSSI, if you're listening here, Yeah,

177
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 3: I'm not sure I'm going to be going to be

178
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 3: picking him. He hasn't really entered my team at all,

179
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:33,440
Speaker 3: to be honest. He could certainly prove us wrong that

180
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:35,720
Speaker 3: he has the talent and he might be thrown into

181
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:38,720
Speaker 3: some more inside midfield roles, but and I will certainly

182
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 3: be watching if he's off off half back, but all

183
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:43,200
Speaker 3: from what we've seen at the moment, he's been on

184
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:45,960
Speaker 3: the wings, so we can probably overlook him. Another higher

185
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:49,800
Speaker 3: priced guy, just to discuss as well, his defense and midfield.

186
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:52,560
Speaker 3: Zeke Yowlands looked really good in his day Booth but

187
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 3: butchered a little bit by foot, but you could see

188
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:56,920
Speaker 3: the talent there.

189
00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:59,640
Speaker 4: He's sort of selling candy to a bunch of players.

190
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:04,360
Speaker 3: He's only thirty eight percent of players of teams a

191
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:07,679
Speaker 3: time of recording, and I don't had him in my sidety.

192
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:09,960
Speaker 3: I only's goort the thirty seven points and as you

193
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:12,560
Speaker 3: guys discussed on the lair, earlier in the week. You know,

194
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:16,160
Speaker 3: it's that that score. It's hard to overcome that thirty seven.

195
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 3: It's in the first score of his rolling average, which

196
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:22,599
Speaker 3: isn't the worst point to have it, but and he

197
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 3: could easily come out and score eighties over the next

198
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 3: two But you know, with that early buy as well

199
00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:31,560
Speaker 3: and cheaper options in defense, there's probably better options there.

200
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:35,200
Speaker 3: But yeah, the lack of midfield options, in lack of

201
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 3: rookie midfield options just means that you might have to

202
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 3: go a Sam Gurrill potentially in the midfield, maybe chuck

203
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:45,840
Speaker 3: a Michael Selwood into the frame in defense. So that's

204
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:47,480
Speaker 3: definitely worth monitoring as well.

205
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:50,319
Speaker 1: I've only got Jago Smith on my latest team and

206
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 1: I'm pretty happy with it. Jaggers Smith at Tanner Bruin

207
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 1: at M seven. No other rookies on the field. Quickly

208
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 1: before we move on to the rest of the crop.

209
00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:01,280
Speaker 1: How many midfield is the rookie bracket you have on

210
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 1: field so far?

211
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:06,080
Speaker 3: I have two at the moment, but not with heaps

212
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:09,320
Speaker 3: of confidence. Nice and sharp and Jago Smith there. But

213
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:13,880
Speaker 3: I think that you know, Bob Myers, if he does play,

214
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:14,679
Speaker 3: We're not sure.

215
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 4: If it were mere it's one of the two.

216
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:19,719
Speaker 3: But yeah, if he does play, I gave him a

217
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 3: huge pump up with my team reveals, saying that there

218
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:24,200
Speaker 3: were shades of Tom McCarthy about him. The average one

219
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:26,440
Speaker 3: hundred and twenty in the back half of the VFL

220
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:28,600
Speaker 3: season last year. Surprise, he wasn't picked up at all

221
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 3: in the In the rookie draft, he was followed a

222
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:34,839
Speaker 3: long line of players you know to won the follow

223
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 3: Girl Round Ritual medal, you know, the like of Luke

224
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 3: Ryan and plenty of other super coach rookies. So I

225
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 3: think if he's in you could filled him with confidence

226
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:42,760
Speaker 3: as well.

227
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:45,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, Van Dyson Sharpe you mentioned there, he's the first

228
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:47,959
Speaker 1: on my bench. Pushed him to the bench. We're hoping

229
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:50,600
Speaker 1: Chris so Brad Scott does pick him to make his

230
00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:52,320
Speaker 1: debut for the Bombers this weekend.

231
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 2: We know we're going to get with him.

232
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:56,840
Speaker 1: He's still probably now fitting in not the must have territory,

233
00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 1: which we probably thought he was at one point, but

234
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 1: probably I've the strongly consider category probably fits in between there.

235
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:06,720
Speaker 1: So a definite if he's named, a definite for your bench,

236
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 1: even at that price at one forty nine K.

237
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 4: And just before we move on from the midfielders.

238
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:14,240
Speaker 3: I think in the last Rookie Bible video I had

239
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 3: said Will Brody will not be in our top fifteen rookies.

240
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:19,720
Speaker 3: I think he may put him in the top ten.

241
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:22,839
Speaker 3: I will just running out of time time, so I'd

242
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 3: just like, I just like an admission of fault from

243
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:26,840
Speaker 3: you fantoms before we move on.

244
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:29,840
Speaker 1: Well, I'm not going to admit for until I see

245
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:32,240
Speaker 1: that team sheet on Thursday night, because Will Brody could

246
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 1: still be in there. Could Josh Carr pull a surprise

247
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:38,199
Speaker 1: and pick his boy Will Brody? Then and then only

248
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:42,720
Speaker 1: will I admit defeat in the Will Brody cruise an apology?

249
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 2: But surely all right, did we come your way? We

250
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 2: better move on? No more Will Brody talk. Let's quickly

251
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 2: go through the rucks.

252
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:50,840
Speaker 1: Another definite Now I call it a no brainer selection

253
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:53,040
Speaker 1: of super coach in twenty twenty six and I will

254
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:56,440
Speaker 1: stand by that. Lockee McAndrew R two DAN one hundred

255
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:58,719
Speaker 1: and nineteen K he's ahead of Rob He's going to

256
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 1: play against the Pies on the week. Can he should

257
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:03,760
Speaker 1: get a good crack? Could he be the biggest cashcout

258
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:04,200
Speaker 1: of the year?

259
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:08,440
Speaker 3: He definitely, could you look at Ironically, rob when he

260
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:10,920
Speaker 3: started his career he was one hundred and thirty six

261
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:14,960
Speaker 3: k R three and leak McAndrew could have a similar

262
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:20,120
Speaker 3: sort of impact. But the thing is with Mick Andrew, like,

263
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:23,080
Speaker 3: I'm a little bit nervous about picking him at R

264
00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:26,280
Speaker 3: two personally. Obviously we saw what happened with Matt Flinn

265
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 3: earlier last year, and I don't want to be using

266
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:35,040
Speaker 3: three or four five trays on my rucks this year.

267
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 3: So I've got him at flex at the moment, just

268
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:40,920
Speaker 3: in case he gets smashed by Dusky Cameron in English

269
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:42,839
Speaker 3: in the first couple of rounds. But yeah, you've got

270
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:45,760
Speaker 3: to have your bondfield in some whether it's R two

271
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 3: or flex.

272
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:47,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, super Coach is looking for a bit of a

273
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 1: fallback option, some security there, but there's probably not much.

274
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:53,360
Speaker 1: We saw Liam Reid one hundred and nineteen k ruck

275
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:56,000
Speaker 1: forward from the Blues, the former Docker scored thirty one

276
00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 1: in opening around. Can we trust him at R three

277
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:03,640
Speaker 1: D and anyone else that can help us out in

278
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:07,200
Speaker 1: that rock bench spot because we need someone.

279
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:08,840
Speaker 2: If you go and lock him a candi ad R two.

280
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 3: Look, I wouldn't be surprised if the Blues dropped ready

281
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:16,320
Speaker 3: up against nan Curvis this week. They could probably just

282
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:20,800
Speaker 3: go Mark Pittnet toe to toe with Nanate on Thursday night,

283
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 3: but remains to be seen some other options potentially. I

284
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 3: like Palum Coleman Jones if he does play as a

285
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:29,040
Speaker 3: backup to Tristan Cherry.

286
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 4: He's so cheap.

287
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:33,200
Speaker 3: Obviously he's had the injury issues over the past few years.

288
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:37,280
Speaker 3: Zank Sakisselski's really sort of come from nowhere eighty three

289
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:40,960
Speaker 3: in the preseason. I interviewed him back the draft Combine

290
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:43,320
Speaker 3: a few years ago. He sort of bolted up the

291
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:46,960
Speaker 3: ranks with his leap, and he showed that against him English,

292
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:50,120
Speaker 3: who's gave up twelve centimes to him and was leaping

293
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:54,040
Speaker 3: all over him. Only forty pime on ground though, But

294
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:58,640
Speaker 3: does he's naturally defender. Does the Harris Andrews suspension does

295
00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:01,120
Speaker 3: that open up a spot for him to defense potentially

296
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:03,400
Speaker 3: as well the remains of his Steen, although it is

297
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:05,160
Speaker 3: a bit of a risk with Sam Draper a couple

298
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:08,120
Speaker 3: of weeks away. Mitch Edwards another one to potentially consider

299
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:08,640
Speaker 3: from the Cats.

300
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:10,120
Speaker 4: He was an emergency for opening round.

301
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:12,079
Speaker 3: But yeah, I think probably the Cats are going to

302
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:14,880
Speaker 3: stick with Mike Blitzavs or even re standing he's on

303
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:15,400
Speaker 3: the way back.

304
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:18,360
Speaker 1: It's looking a bit slim there. Lockie mccandrew the absolute

305
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:20,280
Speaker 1: must have in the ruck. After that, we're not sure.

306
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:23,160
Speaker 1: Keep an eye on team selection, but there are there

307
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:25,960
Speaker 1: is sorry a bit more certainty in the Ford line

308
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:28,800
Speaker 1: with the rookies and a lot of super coach teams

309
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:31,320
Speaker 1: are looking pretty similar at the moment. Is because of

310
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:33,920
Speaker 1: what the rookies are on offer and it's dictating structures

311
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:37,440
Speaker 1: in the Ford line. Give us you must have Dan

312
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:39,520
Speaker 1: I reckon, They'll be the same as mine in the

313
00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:40,320
Speaker 1: Ford line.

314
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:41,880
Speaker 2: What do we got?

315
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:44,640
Speaker 3: Well, you mentioned no brainer with Lockie mccandrew. You've got

316
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:47,560
Speaker 3: four no brainers right here in the forward line in Matayas.

317
00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:51,600
Speaker 3: Philippo dev Robertson, Leo Lombard and Todd Marshall.

318
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 2: Welcome in Matayas.

319
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 3: Philippo needs no introduction. Really going to be playing midfield

320
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 3: so cheap one hundred and sixty k. Dev Robertson scored

321
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:02,360
Speaker 3: a ninety in the preseason games and looks to have

322
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:06,920
Speaker 3: a midfield role there at the Eagles. Lea Lombard really

323
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:11,200
Speaker 3: impressive on THURSDA of Friday, night rather for the sixty

324
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:13,520
Speaker 3: nine we've already got that score Banks and then and

325
00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:17,960
Speaker 3: obviously Todd Marshall as an intercepting defender in terms of

326
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 3: the guys should strongly consider after that, Fantom that that

327
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:23,880
Speaker 3: pretty much rounds out my rookies in the forward line.

328
00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:25,520
Speaker 4: Who else would you be looking at?

329
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:27,479
Speaker 2: It's interesting, Finn McCrae.

330
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:29,720
Speaker 1: I mean, we speak about the bloke every year for

331
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 1: the last decade.

332
00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:31,920
Speaker 2: Who hasn't been in the league that long.

333
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 1: But you know it feels like that, given how what

334
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:37,480
Speaker 1: he scored, like when he got the opportunity, Colinwood couldn't

335
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:39,520
Speaker 1: do it went to the Eagles. I think we wrote

336
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:41,480
Speaker 1: in the Rookie Bible she can get in for at

337
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:44,760
Speaker 1: cod sports dot com to dow. If he's playing and

338
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:47,040
Speaker 1: he's playing a role, then you pick him. We're still

339
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:49,720
Speaker 1: not sure if that he will play or will have

340
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:53,440
Speaker 1: a role limits a game time in the AM series.

341
00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:56,240
Speaker 1: So again, could he be a bench spot option if

342
00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:56,880
Speaker 1: he does play.

343
00:15:57,360 --> 00:15:59,120
Speaker 2: Maybe Malcolm Rose.

344
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:02,920
Speaker 3: Is in the midfield too for him into the midfield

345
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:04,280
Speaker 3: bench if he is playing.

346
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:07,240
Speaker 1: Another one who is in the Rookie Bible but not

347
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:09,480
Speaker 1: high on super coach raidiers in less than ten percent

348
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:11,640
Speaker 1: of teams at the time of recording. The former son

349
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:14,760
Speaker 1: Malcolm Roses sixty eight super Coach points in his Sydney

350
00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:18,240
Speaker 1: Swan's debut on Thursday night. That is sixty eight points

351
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 1: locked in to his three round price cycle. Some of

352
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:25,800
Speaker 1: those options we have in the bracket we mentioned Fim McCrae,

353
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:28,400
Speaker 1: Tobin Murray from the Dockers, is he going to get

354
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:30,680
Speaker 1: a go down? There's he going to debut on the weekend,

355
00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:32,960
Speaker 1: Lockie Dobs and the small forward from North as well.

356
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:34,680
Speaker 2: We're not sure what these guys are going to score.

357
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:36,960
Speaker 1: We know what Malcolm Roses is going to score, so

358
00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:40,200
Speaker 1: he's won to consider there. But it's hard to go

359
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:43,280
Speaker 1: past those top four. I've got those four two on

360
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:47,040
Speaker 1: the field too, on the bench and that looks the

361
00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:51,880
Speaker 1: ideal set up in the forward line. Ardie Jones, Dan

362
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:54,640
Speaker 1: who we did touch on and we have touched on

363
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:57,720
Speaker 1: over the preseason, can cast against the lines on the weekend.

364
00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:01,680
Speaker 1: Cross him off the list. Scott had another Draft Boult

365
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:06,320
Speaker 1: special that's up your rally from the Giants. Can we

366
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:08,600
Speaker 1: consider him?

367
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:12,040
Speaker 3: Look probably not. I mean I'd probably be going Douveston

368
00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:15,120
Speaker 3: over him. The Giants to have a couple of players

369
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:17,840
Speaker 3: to come back. Another one who's reasonably popular as well,

370
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:20,800
Speaker 3: the Troll Pickett chose some great signs in his first

371
00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:24,120
Speaker 3: mini series game, but I tread good caution a bit

372
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:24,560
Speaker 3: with him.

373
00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:26,399
Speaker 4: He's a bit higher priced one hundred and fifty K.

374
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:29,600
Speaker 3: And yeah, you know we saw in the community series

375
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:32,840
Speaker 3: he didn't quite replicate what he did in the practice

376
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:35,639
Speaker 3: games so in the previous practice games, so even though

377
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:37,439
Speaker 3: he's got plenty of talent, would be great to watch,

378
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:38,840
Speaker 3: not sure about him.

379
00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:41,080
Speaker 4: You have the Spike scores, but probably not the consistency.

380
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:43,639
Speaker 2: Yep. A couple of that. That's probably the four line covered.

381
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:47,119
Speaker 1: A couple general names that we need to mention before

382
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:49,760
Speaker 1: we sign off players that we probably need to get

383
00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:52,080
Speaker 1: out of your team. If you are just picking back

384
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:54,160
Speaker 1: up and looking at super Coach again after a little

385
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:57,240
Speaker 1: bit of a break. Now the footy is back. Sid Draper,

386
00:17:57,440 --> 00:17:59,399
Speaker 1: we have been wishing him. We want him to be

387
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:01,199
Speaker 1: there the mid four one hundred and twenty six K

388
00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:05,200
Speaker 1: from the Crows un very very unlikely. I'd be shocked

389
00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:07,080
Speaker 1: if if he is going to be there on s

390
00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:10,439
Speaker 1: today night, very delayed preseason played some minutes in the

391
00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 1: Sandful when the Amy Series is on. That is a

392
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:15,360
Speaker 1: good sign of him potentially being there at some point.

393
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:17,719
Speaker 1: Maybe a downgreat option, but get him out of your

394
00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:20,920
Speaker 1: side to start with. Pat Rechko as well, another one

395
00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:25,440
Speaker 1: of Dan's boys, crossed over from the Cats to the Tigers.

396
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:26,280
Speaker 2: We were big on him.

397
00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:27,600
Speaker 1: We thought he was going to lock down a wing

398
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:32,359
Speaker 1: spot at Richmond and on field spot potentially in our

399
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:33,160
Speaker 1: super coach teams.

400
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:34,840
Speaker 2: But Dan, have we ruled him out?

401
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:35,440
Speaker 4: Look?

402
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:38,840
Speaker 3: Probably I may pumped his ties up a little too much.

403
00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:41,720
Speaker 3: Obviously a fairy tale trade there when he thought he

404
00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:44,479
Speaker 3: was delicted at the last minute of the trade period.

405
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:47,040
Speaker 3: But yeah, I'd keep an eye out for him still

406
00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:49,760
Speaker 3: as a potential winger. It can definitely win a lot

407
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:51,600
Speaker 3: of the footy, but doesn't look like he's there at

408
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:55,920
Speaker 3: this stage. Another couple another one of his teammates, Josh Smiley,

409
00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:59,480
Speaker 3: is in plenty of team still, but yeah, definitely ruling

410
00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:01,960
Speaker 3: him out six or ten weeks. You just can't seem

411
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:05,120
Speaker 3: to get his body right. And then Harry Schomberg, he'd

412
00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:08,320
Speaker 3: been a sneaky little pick for my bench over the preseason,

413
00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 3: but God's suspension in the Community Series and didn't look

414
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:14,639
Speaker 3: great in that game either, So yeah, he's suspended for

415
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:17,040
Speaker 3: round one, so really out of your plans as well.

416
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:20,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, and when Dan Batton talks you listen because the

417
00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:23,600
Speaker 1: man is probably taking percentage of pat Rezko's match payment,

418
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:26,800
Speaker 1: So if he's saying patri Rezko is not playing, then

419
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:29,119
Speaker 1: he won't be there on Thursday night. But of course

420
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:32,119
Speaker 1: team sheets it's big Thursday night, the first full round
