On the flip side if one of these multi position players gets injured then you could pick up a rookie from either position. Dan you might have a point there about Didak - If we pick him up hes going to be a keeper - I if he plays in the midfield he's going to be just as good as anyone else in his price range - and is going to add a degree of flexability to your team as well.

Only Trengove. It's a bit fanciful looking for rookies to be keepers. If there's a freak that comes along and can pull it off, then that's awesome, but otherwise they're either going to make you some money by the time you sell, or be cover by the end of the year. I don't think it would be robbing my centres to get a player who can average 100+ even if he is eligible in another position. To use your example dlow, what's to say Didak won't outscore whatever other premium I would've got in his place? I'm still trying to get my head around the best tactic to use with this new rule, but at this stage I won't hesitate to name a F/C or B/C in my midfield.

Happy to pick up any rookie that is going to play the first 6 games with an average over 50 Really how many rookie keepers are there anyway in all positions.

If warnock doesn't come on as second ruck, I'll move Tippett across...

I definitely would've had him on my bench from the start if he was named Round 1, because I was a big fan. But even then I wouldn't have been planning on him being a keeper. That sort of thing is just a massive bonus. Dlow, consider playing around with this multi position rule to cover for those sort of guys. I'm playing around with structures that gives me a bit of slack to have injury prone players if I have a matching pair in another position.

Might risk one rookie in the forward line. Because the value rookies are in the midfield I'm 90% sure that I'll be only starting 2 rookie centres only this year. Trangrove and Martin PS what do guys think about Higgins - I really don't want this guy to be in my side. He is a real injury risk and I'm not convinced that his upside is enough to cover for his injury risk. Hes looking like a Chapman tpe of player. Another in the same boat would be Rioli, Ellis. Whats Sivlia's injury history been like? I'm going to try and weed some of these players out of my side so I possibly can save a trade or 2 during the season, especially at the start of the season when I don't have any cash to upgrade to a premium. No sideways trades hopefully. Not going to risk starting any rookies in the backline – Got Hunt and Kennelly with the view that Kennelly could become a keeper.

If it wasn't for his ankle(?) injuries at the start of the season he would have been very close to a full year player rookie keeper. How do you think Davies for Carlton will go this year? Strong bodied, 94k first year defender? Perhaps not too enough opportunity? Broughton is the closest to a starting rookie keeper as i can remember (in the backs).
