Welcome To : HIRE A DREAM TEAM DETECTIVE - Player Research By Request Ongoing.
LINK TO LEAVE YOUR FEEDBACK ON THIS THREAD AND IDEAS FOR IMPROVEMENTS FOR THE RESEARCH THREAD IN 2013 WHERE I WILL BE JOINED BY NOZ IN BOTH THIS RESEARCH THREAD AND WEEKLY ROOKS WRITE UP
LINK: http://www.fanfooty.com.au/forum/index.php/topic,65412.0.html
Request on this thread players you want researched, PAGE INDEX ON PLAYERS AT BOTTOM OF THIS POST
*NOTE* You can go straight to the page you want by clicking on the dots ... between the page numbers - it will show all page numbers after you click the dots and you can click the number you want and go straight there.
OK I'm going to be doing a fair bit of research into new players as well as into players we all know as part of my DT pre-season, and to benefit others and myself I thought I would run a thread on requests for player research, saves you the trouble and makes me research players that maybe I would not have otherwise.
So please post any players you wish to know more about and (in as little a time as possible) I will do some in depth research and post it up for you.
I aim this thread at research and try to only supply information and facts and articles that may help you form an opinion one way or the other often based on the requesters question.
I do try to give a brief player rating at the bottom just to summarize and give a rating, but I really encourage people with the knowlege or inside info to call me out on those ratings if they are off the mark, not to undermine me just to make sure I'm not giving readers a false rating on a player. I think I get it right most of the time, but PLEASE feel free to correct me if I am wrong.
I Look forward to researching more players Premium, MidPriced and Rookie all.
The below link outlines some of the players and involves discussion on the players, check it out to see discussion on the player

These guys have done a lot of work profiling many players and this is a link to the thread index.

Summer superstar
Billie Smedts, who was Geelong's first pick in the 2010 NAB AFL Draft, has been a standout on the track so far. Smedts didn't play at all last season after needing surgery to fix a hip problem. But the 19-year-old defender from North Warrnambool has now set his sights on making his AFL debut early next season. "I feel like I'm starting my career with Geelong now," he said. "The first thing is just to get through the pre-season and get my body in the best shape I can, so that when the NAB Cup comes around I can hopefully put my hand up and get a few games."
In summary, Billie Smedts is tearing it up during pre-season and is a stand out at the club, in DT terms he is DPP FWD/DEF, not much benefit in that unless you have someone like tomlinson in the alternate line to use with him. Having missed all last season he is obviously still a basic rooks price and given the likelihood of getting games he is a lock for one of your fwd or def rook positions.
FULL NAB CUP GAME:
Player Name K H D M HO T FF FA SG G B DT
6 Billie Smedts 10 4 14 4 0 2 1 1 0 0 1 57
DT Rookie Rating (FWD/DEF) 8/10 - high rating due to three major reasons, the kid has skills, he is flying in pre-season, he is almost guaranteed game time and early, watch in nab cup and prepare to climb on board. A little older than most rooks.

Best rookies Def, For.
This is a very hard question to answer at this point of Pre-Season, we need to see how the rookies go in NAB cup and we need to learn a lot more from thier respective clubs about what role they will play, when they will debut and what thier thoughts on them are before we list them in our teams or decide which is best. But I will list below a bunch I think will be standouts given the chance, and I will research and profile these for you if they are not alreasy requested by others like Billie Smedts has been.
M.Buntine - GWS - 161700 - obviously a top draft pick so expensive for a rook, but if he plays he should play very very well.
M.Clarke - COL - 141500 - not a rookie at all but rookie priced again if he lines up rnd 1 he will be a DT cash cow for sure.
S.Docherty - BRIS - 130200 - DPP mid, this guy just had surgery but is expected to be good to go rnd 1, will be a jet.
B.Ellis - RIC - 116700 - another high pick this guy has big wraps on him.
L.Brown -ADE - 98700 - big wraps on this guy also, probably a choice for your mid bench as he id DEF MID DPP
S.Morris - RIC - 104200 - another tiger set to be a gun
L.Spurr - FRE - 107000 - question id will he get a game early but will be good
T.Mohr - GWS - 115800 - superstar get on him
There are a ton of maybe GWS players in the DEF line as there are in all others but the stand outs to me are these 3, after Buntine.
A.Tomlinson - GWS - 143700 DPP FWD DEF
S.Frost - GWS 121800
T.Mohr - GWS - 115800
There are many I left out by neccessity but as I said I will profile most of these in detail over the coming days anyway. hope this helps for a start anyway.
wow, I was considering making a thread like this, but couldn't be bothered.
Am kind of glad now- seems like a lot of work :P

Listed this year at $338300, this guy is not cheap, he is however rated highly as a rebounding defender, an excellent DT position, of all the DEF you pick you want this sort of player. I think he is a little untested for the amount of money and is up against some stiff competition in the DEF from other mid priced defenders.
Mid Priced Player Rating (DEF) 7/10. a lot of unknowns, not exactly cheap, but very capable on what he has shown last season. Watch pre season and nab if fit and healthy and in the crows best 22, he lifted by 10 points last season even after missing the end of the season, and this is his breakout year being yr 3 (possibly) if he wasn't 338K i would suggest getting on but that price makes him a toss of the coin...

Sam Butler even at his relative mature age is capable of big numbers he is a proven DT performer (score per game), he can rack up the numbers. However looking at the below stats he cannot play a full season so is WAY too risky a pick at full premium price.
Year Games Average
2005 13 50.1
2006 10 81.7
2008 5 61.0
2009 16 60.1
2010 5 73.4
2011 10 84.4
Premium Player Rating:(DEF) 5/10 Butler has steadily improved year after year, he improved last season after being injured again. BUT, for DT purposes he is a MUST NOT. looking at the games per season above he just cannot be trusted.

Ok, I could keep adding links to write ups on this bloke all night, the bottom line is he is very very good, he is ready to go at AFL level, If the saints play him early he is a dead set must have.
Rookie Player Rating: 7.5/10 gun in the making, afl body, lot of hype likely to play early games like him a lot and with a full AFL preseason under his belt and a successful nab cup he should find a spot in you rookie FWD line.

Thanks Cicjose, you guys have done tons of these write ups, I don't want to link to them like some pirate but if you see any come up please feel free to add the links, I will try to check before I do a player to see if you have already reviewed. Hard part is finding the links when they get old and drop off the first page I guess.

Love the way he came on last year put some good games together, I don't class him in the elite GUN midfield options but for an elite forward he is well worth a look. As I said after the collision early last season, and following sub par games he came on very well and will improve this season no question, however I feel for a bit more there are better options for the midfield, for the forward line he may well be worth a shot.

According to the season wrap last year he has his nose in front as the next big thing at the Cattery. It's a meteoric DT rise for this guy he is not really cheapt at $330K approx, but for my money he will be a FWD keeper by the end of the year. Shone in the GF and hasn't presented any reasons why he won't be in the best 22 this season. Not predicting a break out year but a very good one all the same think one more year until he is big time.
Mid Priced Rating: 8/10 (unproven for the money, but shows great talent has JS and will improve) He can pull a Fyfe and breakout in his second year or he can slip back under the 2nd year rule to be "worth his starting price and average around 80". I am backing a minimum of 90 average for him and backing him in as a fwd keeper. he competes with the likes of brown and dangerfield at his price for your midpriced forward, but he is the frontrunner for me as he is for the cats "next big thing".

OK so this being his real 3rd year it could also be his break out year, he has averaged averagely in his past 3 years and last year obviously injury interupted. Looking closely at his pre-season he is the obvious standout, what is said about him is great and it is likely he will see the ball a bit as a NM defender.
I wouldnt have looked at him at all, but at the tantilizing price of $270Kish he is tempting indeed, if you were looking at a mid priced defender such as waters lake grimes then this guy needs to ne looked at too, young ultra fit and skilled.
Mid Priced Player Rating: 8.5/10 (DEF) ( a high rating for 3 reasons, very cheap $, standout in preseason, 3rd year player ready to step up).

Statistically and potentially this guy has what it takes to succeed in DT, I personnaly would not be jumping on this year but waiting until next year. Too much uncertaintly, he has just moved to a new club under a swap deal and has only played 14 games of AFL footy, albeit he played them well racking up the stats. Not Ultra cheap at $290K approx.
Mid Priced Player Rating: 7/10 (has what it takes on paper but too much uncertainty at the new club in just his 2nd year of AFL footy, would watch through NAB cup if he lights it up then he is priced right to make you $100K or more or less likely lift to keeper status.)

Rhyce Shaw (SYD) DEF $325800
#2 Sydney Swans
Age: 30yr 2mth Games: 163 Born: October 16, 1981
Height: 182cm Weight: 80kg Position: Defender
Last Drafted: Round 2, Pick #18 1999 National Draft
Last Drafted By: Collingwood Magpies
(http://www1.pictures.zimbio.com/gi/AFL+1st+Elimination+Final+Swans+v+Blues+CCPgeK5bGigl.jpg)
Shaw, son of former Collingwood captain Ray was drafted to Collingwood in the 1999 AFL Draft under the father-son rule at pick no.18. He made his debut late in 2000 because of a broken collarbone, he was impressive with 16 kicks, but his form disappeared and was dropped weeks later. Shaw had suffered from chronic fatigue syndrome as a junior and carried it into his AFL career. His skills were ordinary, but his pace was an asset as a wingman. In 2001 and 2002 he only managed 1 senior game, but managed to be retained on the list. In 2003 Rhyce had experienced an improved season, and played 19 games. He wore Bob Rose's number 22 with pride, his heart on his sleeve, and when Rose's death in mid-2003 came about Shaw was a very emotional man, sporting his guernsey with initials B.R above the number. Shaw however had a nightmare finish to the season in the Grand Final against the Brisbane Lions. In one of the more infamous highlights of any Grand Final he slipped and fell over at a crucial moment in the game, only to have an opposing player gain possession of the ball and kick a goal.
In 2004 he played 16 games, but could not manage to play consistent footy, and he averaged under 10 touches per game. His slight late season form kept him at the club once again, but pondered thoughts of why into fans heads. 2005 however was a turning point for Shaw as he provided better skills on show and performed consistently. In the first 6 games he was averaging over 23 touches a game, including a career best 32 on The ANZAC Day clash against Essendon, before being stretchered off the field concussed. Mid-season he would rupture his ACL and require a knee reconstruction, missing the rest of the season. He bought up a long awaited 50th game in Round 11.
He returned mid-2006 and played 9 games, playing a similar brand of football of his improved 2005 season. He averaged just under 20 touches, and spent time in the VFL to gain back his best football touch. Shaw's 2007 season started off with a bang, with All-Australian form in the opening six rounds, before coaches applied more attention to Rhyce, and brother Heath. He averaged 23 disposals a game and more than 8 marks in that period. A hamstring injury, where he would be a late withdrawal for the Queen's Birthday match against Melbourne saw him miss five games and six weeks on the sidelines. He would return through the before breaking back into the side for four of the last five home and away games, with form not up to standard. He would be emergency for the finals on two occasions.
Rhyce played a successful role that established him the backline or winger due to his pace in the 2008 season. He averaged 22 possessions a game in the first half of the season but slumped to a calf injury which prevented him from lining up in the team in the following weeks. He was named emergencies in most of the matches at the end of the home and away season. At the conclusion of the 2008 AFL season Rhyce requested to move up north due to his part earlier in 2008, where he was involved with brother Heath and teammate Alan Didak in a drink driving offence. Rhyce Shaw was traded to the Sydney Swans with pick 61 from Collingwood which Collingwood received pick 46 in the AFL Draft. The trade was made official on the 10 October 2008.
His move to the Swans revitalised his career, with his run off the half back line proving extremely potent. His contribution and value to the team was acknowledged by Shaw being officially named as part of the Swans leadership team.
In 2009, Shaw played the best football of his career as a running half back/back pocket player in the Swans' defence. He capped off a wonderful year by finishing 2nd in the Bob Skilton Medal to Ryan O'Keefe.
In 2010, Shaw began to stagnate somewhat experiencing a deterioration in his disposal efficiency playing off half back. His form seemed to be stunted by the return of Tadhg Kennelly to the Swans' half back line and Nick Malceski returning to the best 22 after a few years in the wilderness. In the 2nd half of the year, however, a move to the forward line seemed to reinvigorate Shaw. He kicked 2 late goals against North Melbourne to seal a win for the side and then kicked 3 goals the next week against Carlton in a very polished performance. Shaw was later moved into the middle to tag the opposition's best players and did so to good effect. He played on and limited the influence of players such as Mark Murphy, Dan Giansiracusa and Stephen Hill.
Shaw enjoyed perhaps the best season of his career in 2011, culminating in him finishing equal 2nd in the Skilton Medal with Josh Kennedy (behind Adam Goodes). He combined tight defensive and tagging with strong rebound and run throughout the year to become one of the most consistent and well performed Swans for the season. He was also awarded the Best Clubman Award for 2011.

Ok so one of his best years last year but still only managed a mid 60's DT average, this guy is average in DT terms priced ok at low $300K but I cannot see him becoming a keeper due to his average DT scoring. Averaged 16 disposals and 2.6 tackles per game so gets his opportunities but doesn't see mto convert these to DT points.
Mid Priced Player Rating 6/10 (DEF) (based largely on previous years inability to score highly in DT, possitives are he is a proven performer on the grouns and a reliable option, just not a stand out one for DT)

25 disps (14 kicks 11 hballs), 3 marks and 23 hitouts in Rd 11 33-pt win over Essendon at the MCG (3 Jun 2011)
18 disps (11 kicks 7 hballs), 6 marks and 36 hitouts in Rd 9 20-pt loss to St Kilda at Etihad Stadium (21 May 2011)

21 disps (14 kicks 7 hballs), 6 marks and 10 hitouts in Rd 3 11-pt win over Brisbane at the MCG (10 Apr 2011)
This performance in 2011 leading to an 80+ point DT average as a ruck after missing most of 2010, expect a better 2012 if only slightly due to Jamar being fit.

Premium PLayer Rating (RUCK) - 7.5/10 ( meddle of the road score for a chancey pick. The guy has improved out of sight and would be a potential 8.5-9/10 even a likely candidate for break out 95+ average ruckman, the things holding my rating back are it's his 2nd year coming up after the year off and its usually the third these guys reallly improve (often later for rucks but he is mainly a fwd/2nd ruck, which is the other issue, the hitouts and disposals will take a hit with a fit 20+ game Jamar in the side)

Not much need to write much here, at $323000 for a mid priced forward Nicoski is far from the best option. Last season was a write off for him but he has only ever been an average DT'er before that anyway, yes he is structurally an important an integral part of the strong Eagles side but he is not a DT'er methinks. In fact I think the best thing about nicoski is his girlfriend
Mid Priced Player Rating (FWD) 6/10 - great JS even after an injury interrupted 2011, had talent and abilities, but DOES NOT score above average in DT and likely WILL NOT. Still this said he can play and has spark, did well later in the 2011 season and if he can find another gear could become relevant in DT.

Premium Player Rating 8/10 - Good solid year last year as a defender if he can lift his average by 5 points or more he may be a keeper in your DEF, he is listed as fitter than ever in the lions preseason write up and that lift seems likely, he is however premium priced so is in the miz with most of the best defenders. A unique pick potentially a very good one.

Conca rules
By Tony Greenberg 7:09 AM Sun 01 Jan, 2012
Reece Conca completed an impressive debut season for the Tigers in 2011.
The following article was featured in the 2011 Fighting Tiger Yearbook.
Richmond coach Damien Hardwick’s quest to build fervent belief within the Club’s playing group is starting to bear fruit, as the young Tigers progress to the next phase in their exciting football journey.
One of those Tiger cubs - Reece Conca - exemplifies the growing belief among the players at Punt Road.
The Tigers’ No. 1 pick in the 2010 AFL National Draft (No. 6 overall) had a somewhat rocky start to his league career.
After a solid 15-disposal debut performance in the Round 1 loss to Carlton, Conca was handed the tough assignment of curbing the experienced, dangerous St Kilda goal-sneak, Stephen Milne, in the Round 2 clash at the MCG.
Conca tried hard, but the wily, slippery Milne got hold of him, kicking 4.7 in the drawn encounter.
A player of lesser character might have dropped their bundle a bit after that, however, Conca, with the strong backing of his coach, dug deep and proceeded to bounce back in style.
Two weeks after his Milne “maulingâ€, Conca had 23 touches against reigning premier Collingwood. That was the start of six successive weeks where he gathered 20 possessions or more in a match, culminating in him receiving a Rising Star nomination following Richmond’s big Round 9 “Dreamtime at the ‘G†victory over Essendon, in front of more than 80,000 fans.
Conca finished that night with the impressive statistics of 14 kicks, nine handballs, eight marks, and was one of the Tigers’ best as they won a thrilling contest by 16 points.
“Obviously, getting a bag kicked on me by ‘Milney’ was devastating,†he said.
“But ‘Dimma’ was great; he’s really good one-on-one, it’s one of his real strengths as a coach.
“I was put into a midfield a bit more after that, where I was a bit more comfortable, and I started to find more of the ball and have more of an impact on games.â€
Conca went on to play 17 of Richmond’s first 18 games of the season, before a leg injury sidelined him for the final four home-and-away rounds.
He showed impressive composure and maturity for someone as young and inexperienced, playing at the game’s highest level, and capped off his debut season by winning the Bill Cosgrove-Harry Jenkins award for being the Tigers’ best first year player.
Not surprisingly, the teenager from WAFL club Perth, thoroughly enjoyed his first year at Tigerland . . .
“It has been really good. It’s a young, exciting group and I feel like I’ve fitted in quite well,†he said.
“There are a lot of players in their first three years at the Club, which makes it a bit easier to get along with the guys.
“It certainly helps to play good footy when you’re with a bunch of guys you get along with . . .

Mid Priced Player Ranking 9/10 DEF (strong rating here due to a few reasons 1- super high draft pick 2- showed great potential in a string of games in 2011 from about 4-12, finished the season poorly which affected his average heavily lowering his price significantly making him a very attractive and almost guaranteed cash cow of a mid pricer if he lifts again this season)
Hardest thing with Conca will be getting him into your Defence as a keeper with that round 13 bye, for me he is looking a lot more like a high scoring cash cow than a keeper and if he does that well then i'll worry about it come round 13 but he is close to breaking inot my side a few shocking DT scores last season underrated him and underpriced him, 2nd year rule stands but this guy may step halfway to where we need him to be and if he gets to 70+ there is a 100-150K profit anyway
Fantastic work Colli. Think ill have Conca in my backline. 80+ isn't out of reach!!

Might seem a bit weird, but Nathan Grima. Injury season last year, but killing pre season and is a good scorer when fit.
What's his role this year? Listed at 192cm so is it likely a shut down role?

It's kind of hard to say exactly what tole he will play, however he is a key position defender who has traditionally been uses to shut down opposition gun forwards. He does however accumulate possessions and run out of defence well, uses the ball well and could be a great DT defender ala goddard delidio. He is not the key position player in DT tems you would never consider like Chris Tarrant. great but never going to score over40 DT points.
Grima being as fit as he is wouls be a good pick at his price in defence thats my thoughts. Below his review from the Kanga's and his stats are PRETTY GOOD given the shocking year he had with no pre-season, surgery, vfl time, and a month out with a broken finger.
Nathan Grima
Games: 12
Goals: 0
kangaroos.com.au says:
Going into hospital for back surgery at the beginning of the year didn’t bode well for Grima and understandably, the 26-year old struggled to perform to the high level he set for himself in 2010.
Playing his first game in round two against Collingwood, Grima was solid in defence and showed no signs he’d had no pre-season.
With confidence in his body growing, Grima had another setback after breaking his finger. He spent a month out and returned in round 13 to play Essendon, but three matches later, was sent to the VFL to find some form.
It was a five week hiatus before he again returned to the senior side in round 22 against Fremantle. Despite his turbulent season, he still managed just under 16 possessions per game.
By the numbers
Disposals: 188 (average 15.7)
Kicks: 111 (average 9.3)
Handballs: 77 (average 6.4)

Through all the hype about Caddy and stuff, it seems we got another young recruit through one of our zone selections. Didn't even hear anything about this until just now, when it was mentioned on the GC website that we picked him up.
Jackson Allen.
Quote:
Another Queenslander has joined an AFL list, with Gold Coast signing talented midfielder Jackson Allen today.
Allen was a shining light in this year's state under-18 team and cut his teeth at the senior level with Morningside in the NEAFL competition.
He trained with Gold Coast in the 2011 pre-season and was used as a top-up player in the reserves before the GC SUNS signed him as a Queensland zone selection.
The 18-year-old said putting pen to paper was a dream come true.
"To be going to the GC SUNS, I'm just rapt about it and can't wait to get down there and stuck into it," Allen said.
One person highly impressed by Allen is AFL national talent manager Kevin Sheehan. After seeing Allen star for the Queensland under-18s against the Northern Territory earlier this year, Sheehan described his kicking as elite and already AFL standard.
Allen's penetrating right boot is a hallmark of his game, and the humble teenager said it was a skill he worked hard on.
"It's [kicking] probably been my number one aspect growing up, something that I really pride myself on, my disposal and efficiency with the football by hand and foot," he said.
Allen is originally from South Australia - where his father Craig played for North Gambier in Mt Gambier - before the family moved to Brisbane when he was in primary school.
He played five seasons at Kenmore before joining neighbouring Western Magpies to play senior football, and then made the cross-town switch to the Panthers.
But it hasn't been all plain sailing, after a dose of osteitis pubis all-but destroyed Allen's 2010.
"Moving across to Morningside this year was probably the most difficult year I've had," he said.
"It was my first full year coming back from an injury. Also juggling between the state program and Morningside football was hard, but the club was really good."
Allen will relocate 70km to live at the Gold Coast, and said although it would be difficult moving from his tight-knit family, said he had a good dress rehearsal when living on the Coast during last pre-season.
Not only has Allen forged his way on to the Suns' list, he has also gone about helping other youngsters realise their playing dreams.
After deferring his university course for 12 months, Allen helped AFLQ's Brisbane West region deliver its successful Auskick program to schools and attend junior competitions to umpire.
This Kid looks the good I must say, great kick of the sherrin already.

Draftee watch
Queensland zone selections Jackson Allen and Alex Sexton, along with 17-year-old Western Australian Jaeger O'Meara, have been with the club most of its pre-season and flew to Arizona with the main group. The Suns' sole national draft acquisition, Henry Schade, joined in later. The quartet has participated in most of - but not the entire duration of - the main skills sessions, but Gold Coast is more intent on improving their conditioning and football education over the next 12 months.
Rookie Player ranking - (MID) - reckon the kid will be a great player if the dreaded OP stays away from him, not sure how much game time he will se this year, hard to rate not knowing that but on a player alone 7/10. Watch nab cup and listen out for his likel role in the team and liklihood of playing at all this season.
Sorry the suns dont have a profile up on him or the other 2012 recruits yet.... slack imo.

Jonathan Giles is a big ruckman who is known for taking strong marks. Jonathan spent four years on Port Adelaide’s senior list from 2006 until 2009 but missed selection in all four years.
In 2010, Jonathan’s switch from Central District to Sturt Football Club payed off with the big man being named in the ruck in the Adelaide Advertiser’s SANFL Team of the Year for 2010.
Giles was delisted by the Power after being picked up at pick #70 in 2005.

Thats all I can find on this guy for you, hower he will be on the ground round 1 of the afl and will share rucking duties with brogan in 2012. Not a yound recruit by any means i think he will have a solid season and if developed properly may elevate to AFL level and become a good ruck.
Rook PLayer Rating (RUCK) 6/10 yet to prove himslef at afl level, not a smith by any means more like an old fassioned ruck in the making, think he will take a few years to develop and may never be premium but he is ready to go which is why GWS have him and he will be a good cash cow in 2012 - i would not start him on the ground or I think you will lose at least 20 maybe as much as 40 points to the premium rucks.

Wells says: "He was one player that we came in with a plan to select with that pick. The thinking is that we've got three very good young ruckman and we thought we needed another ruckmen to complement them. We could've drafted another young one and watched him develop, but we think Orren has earned his chance as a mature player. It was a big decision, considering he's 29, but he's healthy, hasn't had any major injuries, and has played a lot of VFL games against other listed AFL players. Orren knows that we wouldn't have drafted him if Brad Ottens was still playing, but we thought that we needed an experienced ruckman to come in and complement what our young players will be able to deliver next year."
29-year old ruckman Orren Stephenson says it is a surprise to have been picked by Geelong with their last selection in the 2011 national draft.
"Last year was pretty quiet and I thought oh well my times been, I've done everything I can, I'm enjoying my footy at North Ballarat and we'll just press on from there,'' Stephenson said.
"I had a conversation with Geelong last week, but obviously no guarantees. It was a massive surprise, kinda left field a bit.''
Draftee watch
Much of the focus has been on mature-age recruit Orren Stephenson. The 29-year-old ruckman from Ballarat, whose oldest child starts secondary school next year, had to quit his job at Telstra in order to begin training with the Cats. Since doing that he's been impressing his new teammates with his fitness and skill.

Ok so LOCK, For me he is a lock barring any mishaps, he is ready to play yeasterday and seems to me a lot more driven and rated than Giles but thats just my take on the pair.
Rookie Player Rating (RUK) 7/10 will be a good cash cow as he will play games lots of them and I think he will also score well given the time in the middle needed to do so. If I was to pick a rookie ruckman to start this would be the one. But then Giles may go nuts and prove me wrong and there are a couple of other promising rookie ruckmen out there that will likely get a run this season, which is good because we need to downgrade these guys (giles/stephenson) to someone that can hopefully provide cover if heavon forbid we need it.
Great write up, yeah i agree Stephenson is a 100% Lock for the bench at this point in time, along with either Giles or Sam Rowe.
Cheers Wobbler you're a legend with your research.

So instead of tellin everyone "who" Travis Cloke is I will try to post some relevant information and articles on his past season and his current form and expectations you should have for 2012 season.
Cloke came on very strong through the mid to late season. He finished the year in most peoples minds as the best key forward in the business. As a KPP he suffers in certain tight games where he simply does not get the opportunity to put DT points on the board. But he is a a GUN forward and with the pies midfield and back line he will not get too many bad scores and will average highly but he will have those few bad rounds.
Not like Buddy or DRoo he doesnt screem halfway up the ground for possession on the wing or in the centres he is a FF type but don't let that put you off, he goes alright and he is in the BEST team in the comp (yeah the cats may have the wood on us but we will again win more games throughout the season).
2011
An unbelievable season from the 24-year-old. Took the competition by the scruff of the neck, and it showed when the end of season rewards were handed out. Named at centre half forward in the All-Australian team for the first time in his career. Kicked a career-high 69 goals to run second in the Coleman Medal. To cap it off, he ran third in the Copeland Trophy. Cloke was able to elevate himself into the pantheon of the competition’s elite, goaling in 23 of 25 games.
Kicked five or more goals in four matches (including bags of six in consecutive weeks), and his seven finals goals elevated him to 12th on the list of the most goals kicked by a Collingwood player in finals. Was a colossus in the preliminary final, hauling in some breathtaking pack marks and kicking truly when it came to the crunch (having ridded himself of the inaccurate tag during the season). Began the Grand Final like a house on fire with three goals in the first half, before the supply dried up.

Premium PLayer Rating 9/10 (FWD)- ok so he loses one point for being a KPP, nothing you can do about it, some games he will let you down BIGTIME!, in a game against the likes of Sydney who play a lockdown slow slugfest where the game will be low scoring, I wouldnt start cloke, probably wouldnt start buddy either IMO if thier were options in a game like that a KPP fowrard could make you as little as 40 points no matter how good.
But in every other sense Cloke is in the best 5 FWDs out there, only buddy, stevie, fyfe and the like are above him and most only due to thier mobility and time up the ground. Pick him or upgrade to him he will average 100+ easily this year, his only worry is dawes stealing possessions off him, but when dawes was flying in the first 6 or so games last season Cloke was still putting out scores averaging well over 90.
I'm not biased I had 9.5/10 but i controlled my magpie bias :) and pulled it back.

A mature-age recruit, Tory Dickson was selected by the Western Bulldogs with pick 57 in the 2011 AFL National Draft. Dickson comes to the Whitten Oval from the Bendigo Bombers, where he kicked 48 goals in 19 games for the VFL side in season 2011. The 24 year-old is a hard bodied hit-up forward that can also play through the midfield. Standing 184cm, Dickson provides a strong presence around stoppages and has a hunger for winning the contested football. Dickson proved his goal-kicking ability, slotting 112 majors for reputed suburban club Noble Park in 2010. In addition to his stint at Bendigo, Dickson has previously played at the VFL level for Frankston. He won the club's best and fairest award in 2009.

Dickson, 24, is a surprise choice but a favourite of now-Dogs assistant Shannon Grant. Kicked 100 goals in Noble Park’s 2010 premiership and has won a best-and-fairest at Frankston. Can play as a leading forward and rotate through midfield.

Rookie Player Rating 7/10 (FWD) should rate higher but i am not sure he will start the season early on. He is a KPP forward that has the tank adn abilities to do time in the midfield ALA buddy, I think he will be a great find for the doggies and has the support and the wraps from the club to get his shot, mature age recruit we don't have to wait too long for him to appear in AFL footy but we do need a spot in that team to open up for him that doesnt involve the dreadest vest....

OK tough one to rate, if he comes up fit and there is no reason to think he won't but I havent seen a lot of news (any) on how he is going though pre season will have to see what he's like in nab cup, awesome price he is at and awesome potential given his great 2009 season and looking at his first 3 games last season this guy has potential. Never came back later in the season DT score wise, not sure if that was due to fitness after the injury? being subbed, or lack of form, but he should have trained this preseason and he should be good to go this season.
Mid Priced PLayer Rating7.5/10 (DEF) based on potential ability to average 80+ and ridiculously low starting price. A risk but a good one if your not keen on lake or conca or the like.
Awesome thanks champ.
I'll be taking the punt I think. 50k less than Grimes so ill be on the Suban train as well as the Conca one :)

Thanks for the info on Cloke, Colliwobblers. He is a lock in my starting forward with Stevie J and Buddy.

Massive fan of Travis.
Not sure if he can back his incredible 2011 up again though. I'm still backing him for a great season, but have never seen a marking display like C3 did last year, and think he may be a smidge overpriced.

Curtly Hampton was one of the first players signed by the GWS franchise and is an athletic forward/midfielder from Alice Springs who first represented NT at the 2008 NAB AFL Under‐16 Championships as a 14‐year‐old, displaying exceptional skill, poise, agility, and explosive speed.
He was an AIS‐AFL Academy member for consecutive years (2008/9) and spent 12 months boarding at Adelaide's Immanuel College.
In 2008 he played two matches at the NAB Under‐18 Championships despite just turning 15 years of age, followed by three matches at the NAB Under‐16 Championships where his scoreboard impact of 121 points ranked second overall.
Hampton had surgery after chipping a bone in his foot, however again played Under‐16 Championships in 2009 as Northern Territory's Captain, averaging 17 disposals and an elite four marks per match. He was also named Captain of Northern Territory at the 2010 NAB Under‐18 Championships yet did not play due to osteitis pubis.

Rookie Player Rating 9/10 - touted as a favourite of sheeds, rated highly by goodes, afl ready body, gun player. end of story, being one of the first 3 recruits on the GWS list you would think he will play straight up. Well spotted i hadnt considered this guy but i have a feeling afte nab cup many will be considering him.
Like the look of him, I think it's out of him and Treloar for a forward bench spot. Just looking at the 22, don't think Steanta will be playing CHB, Tim Mohr would be there, and I thinl Patton will miss the majority of the season.

Part of the 13th intake into the AIS/AFL Academy. He played for Vic Country at the NAB AFL U18 Championships this year. He is strong one-on-one. He had an outstanding Draft Combine, running 2.97 seconds for the 20m sprint and 15.5 in the beep test.
The Crows' first selection, former Bendigo Bomber Sam Kerridge, impressed considerably on his first day at the club when he ran further than any other player had this pre-season in a five-minute running test.

Months of adversity harden Kerridge's resolve to reach top flight
by: Jay Clark
From: Sunday Herald Sun
November 06, 2011 12:00AM
EVEN when the weeks began to turn into months on the sidelines, Sam Kerridge showed that his football fortitude was unbreakable.
The hardened inside midfielder was dealt a nightmare blow last season when a nasty case of osteitis pubis outed him for all except four TAC Cup games.
He had moved from Mildura to Bendigo as a 16-year-old to play footy, but spent most of last year in the rehab room.
But there is good reason why Bendigo Pioneers officials liken his determination to the Selwoods, a revered name in club history.
After a torturous summer reconditioning his body, the powerful onballer this year completed one of the most spirited comebacks of the TAC Cup season when his strong finish to the year shored up his position as likely second or third round pick in this month's draft.
He said the injury tested every fibre of his AFL dream, but he was glad the time out only steeled his resolve to make it.
Rookie Player Rating 8/10 Based on being the Crows first pick, impressing during pre-season, and being fairly close to AFL ready, as you see in the video he is a mature kid and has a strong game, Only if is if he gets games early how much TOG and where he fits into the Crows lineup and how he is used.
Thank's again...nice write-up

Thanks picker_man,
First the below links give some information and discussion on the two tiger rooks, if you want them done in depth still let me know is no problem at all. But as I say the best starting place is where these guys have done all the work in player frofiles thread.
You really need to and this is the case with all rooks, watch them in nab cup to see if they are reasy to play, what role they will play, then wait for teams and if they are in round 1 thats a great way to choose.
http://www.fanfooty.com.au/forum/index.php/topic,45525.0.html
http://www.fanfooty.com.au/forum/index.php/topic,45660.0.html
As for Adcock and Hanley, that comes down to a couple of points.
Adcok - must not be a lock down or key (this won't ever happen) defender, to be DT relevant he needs to be able to play a rebounding defenders role slipping into the midfield and often. With the lions defence and him healthy he should be worth having and his round 11 bye makes him desirable.
Hanley is an interesting choice and i have not seen him in a team yet, obviously he is up there on last years average with the top defenders but i wouldn't have considered him ahead of the likes of, scotland(expensive), goddard,delidio,shaw,heppell,broughton(similar to adcock must have the right role), enright,carrots,suckling,birchal, even houli and fischer and butler :)
I might need to do a piece on him to learn why you want him, maybe you know something i don't but without knowing much i would spend more on one of the top 6 defenders.
Give me a couple of hours and I'll have those two guys up for you, i'm looking at both for my defence also.
You didnt ask for a team rating and i'm probably not the best guy to ask but that team looks great exactlly how it is - rookies pending nab cup ect.. I would find room for clarke but thats a really good looking team
thanks cw realy appreciate the feedback m8. I reckon again your 100% right the only way anyone will tell is how they line up in the nab cup and no need to waste your time on a question that at the moment is irrevelant as no one can awnser so i do apolagise m8 8)
when it comes to the awnser of adcock vs hanley or both (which iam considering) im a lil unsure why people havent looked into it more and realy appreciate it that you might over the next couple hours :)
I'm a 80% lock on adcock and eagerly await your reaserch :)
In regards to hanley im guessin you dont think he can be 3rd year breakout and smash it in 2012?? He was from my research extremaly high in all aspects of stats for the lions so again would love your point of view on him. In regards to your quote on other players the reason is I wont be tacking scotland, you said it two expensive, goddard, delidio, shaw, heppel i have, brougton?? dont you think he is riskyer then adcock if not y m8, and enright 2 old hawks players byes, fisher ect way 2 risky. ect butler i read you already did a thread on him his lack of games each season worries me is that something thst worries you two.
Cheers for all your help and apolagies if my post is so long, just exciteded its nearly dt time haha

http://www.collingwoodfc.com.au/newsfeatures/news/newsarticle/tabid/5586/newsid/124867/default.aspx
The Player: Possesses remarkable endurance and a damaging left boot that belies his status as a late convert to the game. Has looked most comfortable when playing as a rebounding back flanker, but has the capacity to shut down opposition small forwards. Achieved some remarkable results in 2007 and will look to return to his best this season after two years out of the game.
2011
Continued to play for Down, but after a series of discussions with new Collingwood coach Nathan Buckley, Clarke decided to return to the Magpies for the 2012 season. Talk in the newspapers had Carlton sniffing around in an attempt to list him, but Clarke stayed loyal to Collingwood and was pre-listed and then traded by Greater Western Sydney (along with Jamie Elliott and pick No. 67) for selection No. 25.
2010
Returned to County Down and regained touch halfway through the year after a slow start. His team reached the All-Ireland final with Cork. Down lost by one point.
2009
Began well, with 20 touches and two goals in the round one loss to the Crows at the MCG. Had 26 disposals in the win over Brisbane in round four, but from then on his returns began to diminish and his impact on the game began to fade. His final game for the year was in round 12 against Sydney where he began his career two years prior. He had only seven possessions and was omitted the following week.
He was granted leave to Ireland for a week to celebrate his sister’s wedding. Although he battled hard in the VFL, and was named as an emergency in four matches, Clarke decided to quit the club and return to Ireland for 2010.
2008
Made a slow start to his second season. Found only eight possessions in round one meaning he was confined to the VFL for the next fortnight. Steadily found form and by mid-year was playing consistent football.
His season highlight was his performance against Geelong in round nine, when he gathered 28 possessions, laid three tackles and kicked a long goal on the run to break Geelong’s spirits. Was regularly winning over 20 disposals as he ran into September and produced on the big stage, gathering 20 possessions and goaling in the come-from-behind win over Adelaide in the elimination final. Hit the scoreboard again but was quieter against St Kilda seven days later.
2007
Having never played Australian Football, Clarke was expected to make slow progress in his first season. Instead, he blew all expectations out of the water with a superb debut season that shocked the competition.
He made steady progress for Williamstown in the VFL playing in the back pocket, prompting a promotion to the senior team for the trip to Sydney in round 12. He again surprised, winning 20 disposals in defence and laying four tackles. He proved it was no fluke against Hawthorn at a packed Docklands Stadium the following week when he had 19 possessions and kicked three goals in a pressure-cooker atmosphere.
He earned an AFL Rising Star nomination for his work, and continued to make progress as the year progressed playing mainly at half back and occasionally in the centre. Clarke excelled in September, contributing to wins over Sydney and West Coast before being named as one of the best on the ground in the unforgettable preliminary final loss to Geelong (21 disposals, four marks).
He had entrenched himself in the senior side by year’s end, with his long left foot and ability to break the lines when running from defence meaning that he represented a unique prospect at only 19 years of age.
2006
Trialled with Collingwood late in the season, blowing the coaching staff away with his fitness and dedication. His work prompted assistant coach Guy McKenna to label him ‘the Irish Nathan Buckley’. The 19-year-old Clarke agreed to sign with the Pies, and was drafted to Collingwood with selection No. 40 in the Rookie Draft.
Draft History:
2006 AFL Rookie Draft 3rd round selection (Collingwood) No. 40 overall; 2007 rookie elevation (Collingwood);
2009 retired;
2011 AFL Draft traded by Greater Western Sydney (with Jamie Elliott and pick 67) for pick 25.
Sorry lot of info there check the highlights on the pies utube channel, they boy has skills and WILL PLAY.
Rookie Priced Player Rating 9.5/10 (DEF) Not a rookie at all, yeah a couple of years out of the game but has being playing gaelic footy in Ireland and has or will have put in a full pre-season, pies paid a lot to get him back so I can't see him sitting around decorating the pine. A must have.
No worries M8, I enjoy looking into players and I am far from an expert on who should make up your backline, but of everything you said its all right I meant the comments on possibly better defenders in relation to Hanley not Adock, and yeah i'm ignorant of hanley, I need to look into him befoe i could suggest going him or not going him. Thats why the comments on all the other players i mean "without looking into hanley and learning more, i had not rated him or even considered him ahead of any of the other players" This is why i like doing this because I am the one doing most of teh learning. Adcok should almost be a lock for his bye and for his "potential" just his role and the health of his teammates and the set up going into the season that needs to be looked at.
thats an awesome wright up thanks heaps i will now be re jigging my team to get him in, cause hey as you said "he is the next nathan buckley" awesome.
thanks cw or maybe not now my team will change again haha. nah thanks m8 LOCK.

Wilkes was rookie listed by the Eagles in 2004, 2006 and for the third time following the 2007 season and finally made his AFL debut in the Eagles' upset victory over Adelaide at Subiaco Oval in Round 9 of the 2008 AFL season. He was delisted at the end of 2010.
In 2011, Wilkes played in Claremont's WAFL premiership side. He kicked five goals and was awarded the Simpson Medal as the best player on the ground
Pick 68: Beau Wilkes, West Coast
Bains: "Beau had a number of years at West Coast and had a stellar season for Claremont as a key back before moving up forward. He has got the maturity and gives us options at either end of the ground. Given his background and body, he can play next year.

http://www.fanfooty.com.au/players/profile.php?firstname=Beau&surname=Wilkes
"All my energy was sort of going into that and to be honest I never thought about it (AFL) really until it came to the point where I had to nominate for the draft."
Wilkes consulted family and friends before deciding to roll the dice one more time.
"They all said to me, 'You don't want to look back in a few years time and wonder about how you could have had another few years in the AFL'. It was about whether I wanted to test myself and I do."
Wilkes, who grew up in Albany, arrived in the AFL in 2005 when rookie-listed by the Eagles.
He stayed there for the next four years, getting delisted twice only to be put back on a month later.
It wasn't until Round 9, 2008, that Wilkes played his first senior game; the tall defender went on to play 14 that season.
He was finally elevated to the senior list in 2009, but injuries saw him add just nine more games before departing West Coast.
"It was a bit up and down, but the Eagles were always really good the way they went about it," he said.
Wilkes, who had been in the shadow of All-Australian full-back Darren Glass, found himself behind younger key defenders Eric Mackenzie and Will Schofield in the pecking order.
A mid-year switch to the forward line for Claremont produced stunning results, with Wilkes kicking more than 40 goals.
It was this versatility that appealed to new St Kilda coach Scott Watters and resulted in Wilkes' name being read out in last month's national draft.
"I can play at either end. That's what I'm offering and, no matter what, I'll give my all to have an impact in whatever position I'm needed," he said.
Rookie Player Rating 8/10 (DEF) listed as a defender though can obviously find the goals, not sure how the saints will use him but it is pretty clear they WILL use him. The way he finished last season and his afl suitability and readiness makes him a good pick, the uncertainty of when he will start his 2012 season makes it a wait and see scenario.

The Player: A study full back in the Simon Prestigiacomo mould - not a high possession winner but rarely gives his opponent any room to move. Has subdued several big name opponents including Pavlich, Brown and Podsiadly, but is best known for his two-week tussle with Nick Riewoldt in the 2010 Grand Finals when he was one of Collingwood's best. Will be looking to form a strong partnership with Chris Tarrant and Ben Reid, and along with Reid represents the Magpies defensive spine for the coming decade.
2011
Sidelined for the entire year due to a serious knee injury in the pre-season. Raised hopes of a late-season return when he progressed ahead of schedule, but cracked his patella during a mid-season training camp in Arizona. As a result, he missed the return trip over the 2011/2012 pre-season, but is set to resume full training in December.
2010
Sat out the first four rounds before getting a call up for Anzac Day. Missed eight games in succession between rounds 10 and 17, but returned in round 18 and only missed one more game for the rest of the year. Was omitted for the drawn Grand Final but was given a final-hour reprieve when Prestigiacomo famously withdrew himself from the team due to injury.
Brown played the match of his life against St Kilda champion Nick Riewoldt, restricting him to two goals and in the process earning himself selection for the replay. Seven days later, Brown repeated the dose, this time rendering Riewoldt goalless in only his fiftieth game. Named as an emergency for three matches.
2009
A patchy year, playing the first 11 matches without a miss but then playing only three more for the remainder of the season (and none after round 16) due to form and knee problems. The return of Prestigiacomo also made chances in defence hard to come by. Played eight VFL games, including the three finals.
2008
Earmarked to help rejuvenate the backline following the retirement of James Clement. With Simon Prestigiacomo out for all bar two games through injury, Brown learnt his craft playing alongside Shane Wakelin at full back. He debuted in round one against Fremantle at the MCG and held Matthew Pavlich to one goal.
Matched up against Jonathan Brown the next week and restricted him to two goals, and was now beginning to earn a reputation among the wider football public. Although never a high possession winner, Brown did not miss a match and held the fort at full back admirably.
Earned a Rising Star nomination in round 10 following the 100 point thumping of West Coast. Won the Harry Collier Medal as Best First Year Player.
2007
Developed quietly with Williamstown in the VFL, playing mostly as a defender. Played 19 senior games for the Seagulls (including two finals) and one in the reserves.
2006
The former basketballer played for the North Ballarat Rebels in the TAC Cup 18s, and received plaudits for his performances at centre half back when playing for Vic Country at the U16 National Championships. A Carlton supporter, Brown was drafted to Collingwood with selection 10 in the National Draft.
Draft History:
2006 AFL Draft 1st round selection (Collingwood) No. 10 overall

Ok so that's all the information on Brown that I can be bothered finding. Being a pies fan, Brown is a star, being a DT player he is about as attractive a pick as Chris Tarrant, also a star.
Rookie Priced Player Rating. (DEF) 4/10. Great value for such a capable player, I f you were to pick him to win you games by containing opposition forwards he would be a sure thing, but since we would be picking him to score us DT points he cannot be considered. A KPP, kep poition defender he will not score anywhere near as well as the cheapest most inexperienced rookie who plays a half back role. Do not pick him, or ANY full back. your defenders all need to be the running rebounding high possesion types pretty much the same as your forwards (except buddy)

DISCUSSION: http://www.fanfooty.com.au/forum/index.php/topic,48995.0.html
One of the most promising young players in the country, Alex Sexton was pre-listed with the GC SUNS prior to the 2011 AFL Draft.
A member of the AFL/AIS Academy, Sexton was a supplementary list player at Redland and a GC SUNS reserves top-up player in 2011 and was the first player nominated for the NAB NEAFL Rising Star Awardfrom the SUNS camp.
The talented youngster toured Europe with the AIS/AFL Academy squad earlier this year.
Sexton, won the Alan McLean Medal as the division two Best & Fairest and the Queensland MVP at the 2010 NAB Australian U16 Championships and in 2011 was a Queensland Under 18 representative.
GC SUNS List Manager, Scott Clayton said Sexton had performed extremely well in both the Under 16 and 18 championships in recent years as well as excelling during his time with the SUNS.
Alex Sexton set to join Gold Coast Suns - Nick Smart | August 23rd, 2011
THEIR draft concessions may have dried up but the Gold Coast Suns' monopoly on Australia's best young talent shows no sign of slowing down.
Already home to the best young players in the country, the crafty Suns have drained the national talent pool even further with the signing of a teenager who was strongly tipped to have been taken in the first round of this year's AFL National Draft.
While not yet confirmed, the Gold Coast Bulletin can exclusively reveal the Suns have signed Brisbane youngster Alex Sexton, who was an AIS-AFL Academy member this year, as a zone selection on a three-year deal.
AFL national talent manager Kevin Sheehan said Sexton would have given the top 10 of this year's draft a shake had the Suns not pounced on him.
"He was a real standout in last year's under-16 championships for Queensland," Sheehan said.
"He has great football nous, reads the game so well and has that ability to win the footy in the middle and up forward.
"I find he also kicks the important goals and rises to the occasion when needed.
"I'd call him a natural ... he's a very highly rated young player."
Already blessed with an embarrassing array of young talent, the signing of Sexton is a big boost for the Suns, especially given they will also have pick No.6 in this year's draft.
It is sure to send a shiver through opposition clubs to know the Suns will add two more first-round players to their list this year after snapping up eight of the most highly regarded juniors in last year's bonanza.
Sexton, who moved from Melbourne to Brisbane three years ago, won the Alan McLean Medal for the best and fairest player in division two at the Australian under-16 championships in Sydney last year.
He was also judged the Most Valuable Player in the Queensland Young Scorpions.
A midfielder who is also very handy up forward, the 185cm Sexton played with Springwood when he moved to Queensland before joining Redland in the NEAFL this year.
The Suns have also used him sporadically as a top-up player in their seconds side this year, most recently just last Saturday against the GWS Giants at Metricon Stadium.
His first Suns reserves appearance against Southport in June saw him named fourth best in a side that included 21 AFL-listed players, including nine who at that point had already played at the elite level.

Discussion: http://www.fanfooty.com.au/forum/index.php/topic,45520.0.html
Steve Clifton is an inside midfielder. He is a three-time premiership player at VFL level with the North Ballarat Roosters and in 2010 Steve was awarded the VFL best and fairest (JJ Liston Trophy) and North Ballarat’s best and fairest award.
GWS GIANTS selected Steve with pick number one in the 2010 AFL Rookie Draft.
Summer superstar
Israel Folau is the obvious Giant who has had to put in some enormous work to re-shape his body from rugby league international to AFL player. Young forward Jeremy Cameron has added bulk to his frame and Steve Clifton has impressed with his fitness and running ability. Tom Scully has been told to pull back on his training, such has been his intent, while Phil Davis has also been singled out as he shows great progress returning from shoulder surgery.
GWS coach Kevin Sheedy says Ballarat’s Steve Clifton will play AFL next year.
Sheedy told The Courier that the North Ballarat Roosters premiership midfielder had worked hard to improve his game the past year on the Greater Western Sydney list. And Clifton had the drive to take his game to AFL level.
“Steve Clifton’s been very good for our club â€" he’s got great leadership qualities, a heart of gold and, importantly, he’s determined to see if he’s good enough to make it,†Sheedy said.
“As a new club, we’ve got to get everything right from our football attitude to the people trying to get us there. We might get some brilliant players in the first year, we might get some superstars, and we might just get some good footballers but the main thing is that we want everyone trying their best.â€
Clifton was elevated to the Giants’ senior roster last week after a year on the club’s rookie list as the club prepares to launch into the AFL.
He joined the Giants last December as the number one pick in the AFL rookie draft.
Sheedy said the Giants had a lot of thank you messages to make about Ballarat’s football development ranks.
The AFL legend was in town as guest speaker at Ballarat Grammar’s Sport by Wendouree gala dinner on Saturday night.
The Giants’ list also includes Jeremy Cameron, from Dartmoor in the Western District, and Kurt Aylett, from Leeton in southern New South Wales, who were both recruited via North Ballarat Rebels. Sheedy said Cameron would have been a likely top-five draft pick this year had the Giants not signed him first.
The young forward has already started to attract attention for the Giants in the North East Australian Football League and is tipped to make his AFL debut early in the season.
Aylett, 19, had a full knee reconstruction in August and is on a four-year deal with the Giants. Sheedy said the hometown of all three players highlighted how GWS was very much an Australian side, drawing on players from across the nation.
The introduction of two new AFL teams, in Gold Coast and GWS, creates about 800 contracted players on AFL lists which Sheedy said was an impressive figure for a nation with the population of Australia.
Sheedy and his team have scoured the continent to give the Giants every possible chance of finding the right players.
And he is paying close attention to Ballarat.
There is one Ballarat legend Sheedy would particularly love on his team but who has eluded him so far. An AFL premiership player and champion residing deep in the Great Southern Highlands of New South Wales.
“Tony ‘Plugger’ Lockett,†Sheedy said.
“He’s an absolute superstar and he would be a fantastic person to work with our young players.â€
GWS makes its AFL debut against Sydney Swans at ANZ Stadium on March 24 and the Giants will play their first home game at their newly developed Skoda Stadium against Essendon on May 26.

that's an interesting one....
maybe cw could just do an 'effect of mitch clark' in general... I've already got my opinions on this, but I'd be interested to see what he comes up with :P
Man I paid particular interest to this because i have a soft spot for the Dee's and I had really hoped they would pick thier act up last season, now they lose the midfielder they put so much into, but gain a KPP forward who seems to be growing into the position after starring as a ruck / half back.
I think it will certainly give the dee's midfield and half back line a target up forward a genuine one, create a competion and allow the many smaller forwards of the dee's to crumb.
It will befefit green without a doubt though not in a huge way some might think, it is more likely to really help out the likes of watts and jurrah.
Other than the obvious benefit an only KPP forward will bring, it is a big score in terms of kudos for the dees heirachy and the morale of the club and playing group in general, I think it will go some way towards reversing the damage done by the runnaway youngster up at GWS.
Please Please give me the real take you have Zip as you no doubt know more of the detailed changes and structures that will change due to him coming in, and how that will effect several players we are all seriously looking at which might be swayed to take if Clark is set to have a significant impact possitively on thier game, maybe also add the vacancy opened up by scully. Roll it all into one, and let us have it.

Ok so we all know who Brad Green is, saw him start slow last season and finish marginally better.
I really can't comment at this early stage as to whether he will play in the midfield, See having a tall forward still requires a green type player to crumb him, especially when he is the only tall forward (really) so will get a lot of attention in teh contest and often as strong as clarke is over his head the best he can hope for is to bring the ball to ground, enter green, watts, jurrah???
What it will do for green is prevent him from having to play full forward. Last year quite ofter we saw Green in the goal square out market or the ball falling short of him or triple teamed and just outclassed by key defenders, basically due to playing a role he is not made for and shouldnt have to, clarke releases him from that role.
As for Scully I do not think Green is the man for that job, not sure (can't be sure how they will work it) but I see some young blood going into the centre permanebtly, and Green playing a mid/fwd role, which means green will get more mid time, but he will not in mind be a straight midfielder as scully is.
Green can find the goals and direct the troups and while not a FF he can still be a target in the forward line as the ball goes forward.
I have attached some links for his stats and profile but I won't go into any more detail than that because as I said we all know who he is and what he is capable of.
Premium PLayer Rating (FWD) 7.5/10 - this is a harch mark for Green but it is hard to know how fit he will be what form he will be in and what role most importantly he will play. I am sure he will improve on last seasons average of 72? to 80+ but I feel at his price and given other available players for a bit less and a bit more he is a risky proposition.
Again I like to think i get most of my info right on my research because i research and I base it on facts. However I have not more than read a few articles on the Dee's joy to have Clark, I cannot and do not claim to know how exactly he will be used (assume FF- maybe a stop gap in the ruck if needed) and more importantly for the big picture on the Dee's I do not know how the team and it's players will "shift" around the exit of scully and the entrance of clark, but I am looking forward to finding out in a months time :)

Christian Howard got his first taste of senior football in round 10 of 2011. A beautiful user of the ball, the Club expects Howard to play a vital role in the Club’s midfield for years to come.
Gleeson, himself, suggested 2009 first-round draft pick Christian Howard was "a beautiful kick and not slow" so would be given more opportunities in 2012 to provide the silk the Dogs are lacking.

OK so there is a fair bit of other information out htere on this bloke, but the fact is he is 21-22 years old i cant remember, was a VERY high draft pick in 2009, #15 overall, he only played 6 games last season and was criticized as being slow and not up to afl standards.
The doggies think otherwise, he has a great kick and silky skills, albeit i think to fair potential silky skills is closer to the truth, not sure what the coaching changes will mean for him but he was supposed to be getting more tog in 2012 and is being looked to as a part of the midfield the doggies desperately need.
Listed as a DEF is the big plus as he is actually a midfielded and the club seems to plan to use him as such, meaning for a straight DEF he should score better than most.
Mid Priced player rating 8/10 (DEF) High draft pick, 2nd year, obviously skilled player, will need to look to nab cup to see if he plays, where he plays and look and listen to see if he makes up a part of the doggies best 22 from round 1. Too much uncertainty at the moment and not exactly cheap at his price, if he was a rookie, 9/10 and jump on him. but he is not. Touted to take the role of Gilbee as the doggies #1 playmaker out of defence, BOOM or BUST, expecting a breakout season if he is given the opportunity. Colliwobblers 2012 smokie defender IMO. Locked and loaded.

Tim Mohr is a tall defender who was recruited from the Casey Scorpions in the VFL. The 22 year old is originally from Tasmania and played seven games for the Tasmanian Devils before joining Casey in 2008.
At 195cm, Mohr is surprisingly fast for his height and was a revelation in the VFL in 2011, finishing up the year with 97 votes to take out Casey’s best and fairest award.
Mohr is known for his strength and long kick and should be a key ingredient in the GIANTS backline in 2012.

GUN, best rookie defender available, tall, very fast, strong AFL ready, learnt a ton from FEV and Caesy's best and fairest as well as considered one of the stars of the VLF. Nothing but good reports on him. Rebounding defender that will run through the midfield, only an imbosile would have this kind of talent used as a KPP or a lock down player, his syle is reminiscent of goddard and delidio the way they can attack off HB and run in the middle, and his delivery is akin to sucklings big straight left boot.

He's a really explosive player and someone we hope can almost fulfill the role of Brent Harvey when he retires.

Mid Priced Player Rating: 7.5/10 (FWD) - this is both a generous and a harsh rating for this kid. Firstly let me say he is jet will get better and better and knows how to kick long goals clever goals, kows how to find the footy and i will go as far as to say he is a future leader at the club. Should be in the best 22 even if there is arguably better he is a player they need in the future and he should play every game. BUT BUT BUT - the infuriating way in which NM played rookies last year, a game here a game there, a sub here a vfl game there DID MY HEAD IN. There are no guarantees with any rookie at this club on TOG or rounds they will play, you will need a crystal ball to work out who will play, how much, and when. But as for this guy he can play should lift his average to 65-75 given the opportunity to play regualarly and given the improving NM midfield. At his price not a rook a mid pricer but a cheap one, still i'd call him a big risk just for being a kanagroo for my reasons stated already.

Not a lot to say about this bloke, he has a lot of VLF history played at many clubs and is a tough nuggety midfielder who seems utility like, flattering but possible to compare him to someone like Ball. His father was a star.
Thomas put himself forward to Neald at the Dee's trained with them and was later drafter by them and now rookie listed.

Is Big Daniel Merrit of Brisbane primed for a big year?
Word is that he is, but this certainly does not make him DT relevant, to pick Merrit would be a terrible idea, as a key defender and a lock down player he is a super GUN. Not too many players are as effective as negating opposition forwards and shutting down / stopping forwards.
But he will not score well in DT, never has and never will, he simply does not play that type of role that allows it.
What Merrits return to fitness and form means in DT terms is that hopefully Adcock will be free to play his DT friendly game along with others in the lions defence such as Hanley, and recruit Docherty who will slide straight in as soons as he is fit and ready to go.
So yeah in summary Merrit is good news for the lions, good news for DT Adcock, Hanley and Docherty owners but in himself is not relevant to DT.

Billy Longer (BRL) RUC $148,200 Pick 8 ND
Number 5
Height 202cm
Weight 95kg
DOB 12-05-1993
(http://www2.pictures.zimbio.com/gi/Billy+Longer+TAC+Cup+Rd+4+Northern+Knights+5UiKx_fCzuWl.jpg)
Discussion: http://www.fanfooty.com.au/forum/index.php/topic,44258.0.html
Introduction
An incredibly quick ruckman, Billy Longer's height, skill and agility helped him to excel at stoppages as a junior courtesy his supreme tap work. He is strong overhead, and has been shifted forward on occasions with great success. His credentials were such that he was honoured with the Captaincy of Victoria Metro's side in the 2011 U18 Championships.
Background
• Hailing from Macleaod JFC in Victoria, Longer was an early developer who dominated the local junior leagues before heading down the elite pathway with the Northern Knight's U18 TAC Cup side.
• Longer was a gun junior basketballer and also took up the martial art of Muay Thai for a number of years to help strengthen his cardiovascular abilities and hand-eye co-ordination.
• He was part of the AIS/AFL Academy group that toured South Africa in 2010, and in the same year was selected in the Victorian Metro side as an underage player.
• Despite suffering a bout of Glandular Fever during the 2011 pre-season, he overcame the illness and played a dominant role in the TAC Cup competition, finishing Runner-Up in the Northern Knight's Best & Fairest award and being named as ruckman in the TAC Cup Team of the Year.
• Longer was also honoured with Captaincy of the 2011 Victorian Metro team, and helped lead Metro to their first U18 National Championships title since 2008.
• Throughout the Championships, he averaged 10.8 disposals, 21.5 hitouts and 5.3 marks per game, and was subsequently named in the U18 All-Australian team.
• A tweaked hamstring meant that Longer was unable to participate in much of the 2011 Draft Combine fitness testing, however he remained one of the most sought after draft prospects in the country.
• Despite being touted as a potential Top 5 selection pre-Draft, Longer slipped to the Brisbane Lions who took no time in reading out the 202cm ruckman's name with their first round select (Pick No.8 overall).
What Victoria Metro Coach Rohan Welsh says...
“The way he has grown as a player, like the last three games he played for us, was just outstanding. He has come so far."
"I’d liken him to a Dean Cox. He has a good motor, he is a good kick and is really good overhead. He could go on and play 200 games."
What AFL National Talent Manager Kevin Sheehan says...
“He’s 202cm so is a genuine ruck size. He uses his left hand in the ruck, but is a right foot kick around the ground."
"He is very, very quick but needs to get endurance into his game. His second and third efforts are very good around the centre square. He’ll also work on his ability to be a danger up forward as a goal-kicker."
"He’s come up through the AIS-AFL Academy Program. People like Luke Darcy have influenced him."
What Northern Knights Coach Anthony Allen says...
“He is a real talent. He has made good improvements with the physical side of his game, with his tackling and his aggression. He has added that to his repertoire, apart from obviously competing really strongly in the ruck."
“There is no doubt in my mind that he is the best ruckman in the TAC Cup.â€
“He is a solid young man but he is a pretty laconic sort of fellow. He has probably become a bit more focused and serious with his football this year. That’s not to say he is any less friendly, but you can see he is really hardening up with his attitude towards it.â€
What afl.com.au's Jason Phelan says...
"Longer is a natural leader who was the dominant tap ruckman at TAC Cup level and at the national championships this year. He can also pose a significant threat up forward."
"He's a right footer, but goes up with his left hand at most stoppages, which is rare."
"He's also more than capable with his right hand, which makes him a tricky proposition for opposition ruckmen. He doesn't get a heap of possessions around the ground just yet, but his combination of speed, endurance and footy smarts has him well placed to slowly bring that into his game."
2011 TAC Cup Statistics
Avg hitouts: 29
Avg disposals: 12
Avg contested possessions: 8
Disposal efficiency: 54%
Avg marks: 4.2
Avg goals: 1.2
Voss admitted he was shocked that Longer was still available and said his selection followed the club's golden rule of choosing the best player available with their top pick.
"He was well recognised as the best ruckman in the draft and he is highly rated by his peers," he said.

Rookie Plyaer Ranking (RUC) 5.5/10 - expensive due to #8 draft pick, clearly the best rookie ruck going around and by a long way. The only thing other than his price holding back his score is his chances at getting an early game and much TOG. He is definately recruited to be the #2 ruckman and will be sharing ruck duties with the burger, but when? Hudson is definately there and will be starting the season alongside burger so where and when does this NEW ruck fit into the mix. Absolute star of the future, for DT this season maybe a great upgrade target, for me and almost everyone else giles and stephensen will be the starting rooks due to likely early games and rowe and this lad the likely upgrade targets, tho as always the danger is if longer does get early games he will star and we will all miss the longerboat.. :) like that :)
UPDATE: http://www.afl.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/208/newsid/128695/default.aspx
I beg to differ with your analysis of longer- Leuen is obviously number one ruck, and hudson wasn't recruited to play QAFL. IMO (and the opinion of Brisbane supporters as well), Longer won't be picking up very many games this year- maybe a couple at the end of the year to blood him if brisbane aren't a chance for the 8, but the rest he'll be developed in the QAFL.

udson is definately there and will be starting the season alongside burger so where and when does this NEW ruck fit into the mix."
So I agree with what your saying as above it is Burger and Huddo at the moment but htis guy was recruited to be a #1 or at least #2 ruckman, you don't take a ruck at pick 8 that was touted to go earlier imo for no reason, so as I said for now where does he fit in???
Developed through the QAFL, and blooded late in the season sounds about right to me, I guess it just depends how fast they want to bring him through and thier plans for burger and huddo, keeping in mind he is a replacement for clarke anyway so its not like they have a "spare" ruckman anyway.
I was just disagreeing with your rating of 9/10. I would honestly drop him down to a 5.
Brisbane took him because he was so highly touted :P People expected him to go closer to just inside, or just outside the top 5.
Fact is, they don't need him. A couple of games here and there, maybe used as the sub occasionally, but not really THAT great of an option :P
Hey, just wondering how you think Dyson Heppell will go this year?
Any info on Stiffy Joncock?
Yeah i would love info on johncock to if ya could cw
and just a lil thought i would drop longers rating to around a 4 myself m8 just see no real game time for him this year and hes overpriced, and im just assuming you use those rankings for a guide for someone to pick him?? other then that youve been spot on every other time ;D

Yeah I always listen to Zip, thats why I like his feedback on here, I have dropped it to 5.5 because the rating goes to 4 major categories - player ability - liklihood of playing - role they will play - what the club thinks/went through to get them. Sounds like you were spot on with this one also, I may have got caught up in the hype and expected him to get more of a run than he will, makes it a shame the lions got him because 5 years for a ruck to depelop to max ability, better the kid gets started sooner rather than later.
5.5 is harsh but all the minus marks hae to go down to as you both said limited expectation of game time, if that changes tho so should his rating.

Hey, just wondering how you think Dyson Heppell will go this year?
Forget about a write up I will list a link on this web site for you to look over peoples thoughts. On heppell it is a personal decision many are off him many are on him, there are the 2nd year curse skeptics and there are the he's not worth the money people.
Me personaly and based on his improved experience after last season, his improved match fitness after last season, his full pre-season, his bulking up, considerably, his being listed as a defender, his liklihood of playing in the middle, all adds up to a LOCK for me.

An outstanding debut season justified Essendon’s delight in snapping up the classy defender in last year’s NAB AFL Draft. Stationed mostly off half-back, he played every match and averaged 21 disposals. The left-footer led the club in marks (132) and handballs (231), and was always calm under pressure. Was his club’s first winner of the NAB AFL Rising Star award, and was also voted the AFLPA’s best first-year player.

Ok so I can't find muc hof anything to tell you where he is at or what we can expect from Johncock in 2012, I can say he got better last year as the year went on and I don't think there will be a single Crow who won't do better under the new coaching staff.
Mid Priced Player Rating 6.5/10 (DEF) - not exactly dirt ceap at his price and goes up against the likes of grimes and waters at that price to win selection in your team. He is a good solid capable player with footy smarts and plenty of ability, what role he plays is critical to his DT viability, if he can be a rebound defender great he may be worthwhile, if he is given the job on locking down opposition fwds, there is a bad score for you that week. Too many unknows at this point of the season he is not weritten about in any pre-season wraps that i can find so really we will need to see how he is going fitness wise and what role he will be given in 2012. Not for me but you could do a lot worse. Needs a lift of 20 points per game to be a keeper imo.
To be honest on this guy for an oppinion on how is he going and how will he do in 2012, I am not sure anyone knows just yet and to find out might be worth starting a thread on him to drag the info out a sneaky crows insider on here.

OK so!!! NRoo, what a dud right, past his prime right, not for DT anymore right, not worth having right, needs a lot to change to be worth having right, based on 2011 he is not in my side right,..... WRONG
Lets have a look at 2011, and lets say it was a tough year for NRoo at the same time.
10 scores over 90
3 tons 121, 134 and lets go 134 again!
11 scores under 90
3 shockers 29,43 and we'll go 43 again!
So NRoo has the potential to score big tons, he has split his premium games and his average games about 50/50 he has had 3 super games and 3 clanger dud bog games.
At this stage we are undecided.
Now lets look at what might change in 2012 to see if we want to risk NRoo, firstly lets lock away the man himself, nothing will change he will still be 110% commited he will be fit he will be determined and dedicated and give it his all from the first bounce to the last bounce in 2012.
What has changed around him? The new coach and his new game plan = plus plus for NRoo, you can bet the defensive focus of the saints game will evolve to a more attacking style, the prior has had its time and the new coach knows it. More attacking = more ball for NRoo if it works.
Part of making it work is the return of a key midfielder missing last year in Lenny Hayes, yes he is old yes he may not be a DT stud anymore, but he is a handy and experienced and smart midfielder to have and he will make an impact you can be sure of that.
Another part is winning ball at the stoppages, a big part of that is the ruckman and Mcevoy is on the rise to be sure, dalsanto finsihed last season very well also and that helps, steven is someone to look out for in the middle, the ball should go forward quite a bit.
So what about NRoo being triple teamed and never getting his hands on the pill?? is there no one up fwd to help him out, provide anothe viable target??? YES we have someone, apparantly kozzie is flying very fit very pumped and primed for 2012, now if he can draw a defender or two NRoo has a much easier time of being NRoo.
There are other factors, Likely St Kilda are past thier premiership window and that can lead to complacency, poor form, lack of motivation and both poor team results and individual player results. I think under the new coach and with the pride they have gained over the past few years (nevermind the off field rubbish) thats not the way the saints will go and it certainly isnt the way NRoo will go.
Premium (Bordering on Mid Priced) Ranking 8/10 (FWD) - he runs like buddy and finds his own ball. NRoo has proven in a shocking season 2011 that he still has what it takes to pump out BIG tons, his consistancy and his teams last season was lacking and the fear is it may be lacking again this year, but there are a lot more possitives i feel for NRoo than there are negatives, its a brave pick due to his cost but it may be the pick of the season and the same can be said dor brown, if these calibre of FINE players fire they firs big and NRoo is not washed up yet.
Thanks legend... Do you sleep CW??
Holy moley - this is the most informative pre-season thread hands down! Great work colli and zip!
Any chance you could dig up a little info on Sam Gibson (Nth rookie), Tom Bell (Car rookie) and Josh Caddy (GCS)?
On Bell - the Blues have space on their primary list for two rookies (from memory) and he's been carving up pre-season to date (reckon the other spot will be for Curnow again).
North also have (at least) one vacancy on the primary list and Gibson seems to have the pedigree to be a great foil to the Roos quality midfielders. Plus, as a mature age selection, he shouldn't get treated as shabbily as other first year players (Atley etc).
EDIT:
Hmmm... I see that Caddy has been covered in the player profiles thread. Still, you reckon he's a good 'mid-price' pick? Shouldn't get vested (unlike this year's top price rookies) and is in a team where a player of his skill, speed and size is highly desired.

http://www.afl.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/208/newsid/128157/default.aspx
Outlook
The Cats’ faith in West and the back-up ruckman’s persistence paid off when he played his part in securing Geelong’s third premiership in the past five years. Limited opportunities in the previous five seasons saw him manage just 11 games, but he came of age at the right time of the year. Was recalled to the side in round 17 against the Brisbane Lions and gave great support to Brad Ottens. Took some fine contested marks in the finals and can stake his claim as the club’s No. 1 ruckman.

Mid Priced Player Rating 8.5/10 (RUCK) - high score based on the fact he is basically ready for his coming of age - break out season as a ruckman, around the 5 year marf for rucks rather than the normal 3 year for others. He is strong big and very experienced, ready for afl footy as he proved in teh finals and last rounds of 2011. He will be teh #1 ruck at the cattery for 2011 so job security and TOG will be optimum. Think he will average 80-90 this season could be more will not be much less if any at all. The only risk is that we havent seen him achieve what we want him to this season in teh afl previously.

Pre-season - Caddy went to Arizona = should be in great shape and fitness, reports on his preseason are impressive (below).
Summer superstar
While captain Gary Ablett is tearing up the training track and is miles in front of the same time last year, second-year players Luke Russell, Dion Prestia and Josh Caddy have also been hugely impressive to date. Prestia came back from his off-season break in great shape and has kicked on in leaps and bounds, Caddy has been an animal on the track after an injury-plagued 2011, and Tasmanian Russell has been one of the most professional at the club in every aspect of his training.
Discussion: http://www.fanfooty.com.au/forum/index.php/topic,44490.0.html
Not a lot to say on Caddy and the question was how will he go in 2012? easy answer is great.
Mid Priced Player Rating: 8.5/10 (MID) - tough one to rate, not a rook not a premium low in price but a rook high in price, but a rook that happens to be a gun. Extra points for being a very cheap mid pricer, Huge pre-season including arizona, great fitness and injury free. I reckon at his price he will be a 150K profit and a last mid upgrade/almost a keeper, should average 80-90 and i'm tipping closer to 90. Ablett will be better and so will all teh 2nd year players, the team may not win a lot more games this season but they will be a lot more competitive and i feel improve greatly in DT scoring accross the board. With Caddy he is a VERY SAFE PICK, the only IF is the IF you can afford him in your mids.

Last Drafted: Round 1, Pick #14 2011 Rookie Draft
(http://mm.afl.com.au/Portals/0/bell_tomx.jpg)
Carlton entered the rookie draft specifically targeting midfielders, and came away with three of them. They used their first two picks on mature-age players - Tom Bell from Queensland club Morningside and former Saint Nick Heyne. Both are physically developed enough to step straight into AFL football if called upon. The third of the trio, Frazer Dale, is more of a long-term prospect, as is NSW scholarship holder Matthew Lodge. The Blues were happy with their haul.
What the recruiter said
"We were quite specific in the type that we wanted, and obviously we were going to pick a couple of guys who were a little bit older than normal." - Carlton recruiting manager Wayne Hughes
NAB AFL ROOKIE DRAFT
Pick 14: Tom Bell, Morningside Football Club
DOB: 13/6/1991
Height: 187cm
Weight: 95kg
Hughes says: "He had a really good year. He plays on a wing. Aerobically he's very good - a fifteen-and-a-half beep tester - and he's best described as a very tough footballer. At 95kg and 187cm, he's built like a brick outhouse."

Rookie Player Ranking (DEF) 6/10 - low score due to being on the rookie list, he needs to be promotes, but I could not agree with you more, he looks likely to be promoted pretty much straight away, afl ready and capable on potentional skills i would not predict him turning into an out and out gun but certainly see him developing into a staunch midfielder, has pace and strength not a huge kick but they can work on that and he is an accurate kick and a good user of the ball by the looks of him. Potettntially a good pick, all it needs is his being promoted and he could find a regulare gig for mine on the wing to start. Reckon he would play well straight away as an outside mid or winger taking the ball from the likes of murph and judd and running away with it (he is powerful and quick) and disposing of it efficiently into the fwd line. Well spotted one to watch for sure.
Working beautifully son.
I'd love to hear your thoughts on Matty Warnock. Super cheap ATM and surely he's likely to be a starter in the GCS back line (especially with Bock rubbed out for the first couple). I suppose my biggest doubts are around his scoring potential, and hence, how much he is likely to increase in price.
Cheers.

Experienced midfielder who captained Box Hill and won the best and fairest award this year. He has terrific endurance and ball-winning ability.
North Melbourne rookie Sam Gibson has had a perfect start to the New Year, taking out the club's first two-kilometre time-trial of 2012.
Box Hill Hawks Captain Sam Gibson, who had previously been a rookie at Hawthorn but didn’t play a senior game, has been drafted by North Melbourne with Pick 63 in the Rookie Draft. Gibson had a career best season in 2011 where he won the Col Austen Trophy as Box Hill Hawks Best and Fairest winner as well as being selected in the VFL Team of the Season. Gibson finished 2011 by playing his 100th game for Box Hill Hawks, only the second player behind Matthew Ball to do so since the alignment with Hawthorn. At the November Board Meeting Gibson was honoured with Life Membership of Box Hill Hawks. It is likely Gibson will play against Box Hill Hawks in 2012 with either of North Melbourne’s VFL affiliates Werribee or North Ballarat. This is the third consecutive season that Box Hill Hawks’ Best and Fairest winner has been drafted following Ed Curnow being select by Carlton in 2010 and Sam Iles selected by Gold Coast in 2009.

Rookie Player Rating - (MID) 6.5/10 - maybe a little generous compared to other rooks ok the rookie list also, loses points for the rookie listing and needing promotion, but he is a maturea age recruit, he is not there to get older, I expect him to be promoted and play early, but this needs to happen before i will jump on, as for his ability, i say tons of it, great outside mid, good avg poessesions last season, best and fairest and captain, this man knows the game, is ready for the game and isn't at the roos to "make up the numbers". My biggest issue is the way north used thier new players last season it was sporadit, made little sense and did every DT'ers head in, A lot of those second year players should see solid TOG this season leaving the 1st year recruits even once promoted struggling to find a spot regularly enough to justify a spot in DT, BUT there is the mature age element. Tough call whatever happens this bloke is a good looking player.

Working beautifully son.
I'd love to hear your thoughts on Matty Warnock. Super cheap ATM and surely he's likely to be a starter in the GCS back line (especially with Bock rubbed out for the first couple). I suppose my biggest doubts are around his scoring potential, and hence, how much he is likely to increase in price.
Cheers.

Matthew Warnock joined the GC SUNS during the 2011 AFL Exchange period. The 55 game former Melbourne player will be asked to hold down a key defensive post for the SUNS in 2011.
The tall defender was placed on the rookie list at Melbourne in 2005 after impressing with VFL affiliate Sandringham won his chance for senior selection. 2008 was Warnock’s break out season the Demon’s, playing 17 matches and finishing fourth in the Best and Fairest. Warnock continued his impressive form the following year finishing equal fifth in the Best and Fairest.
After playing just four senior matches in 2011 between Round 7 and Round 11 but regularly excelling in the VFL, Warnock requested a trade away from Melbourne and found a new home on the Gold Coast.

Mid Priced Player Rating (DEF) 5.5/10 - ok low marks for the fact he will be holding down a key defensive role with the suns, yeah he should play every game and he will play his butt off and do very well there. But in the role he is in he will be lucky to average 60-80 at best, and while that is a good average for his type of position it is not DT friendly, for the money you want a rebounding half back type. Lake or Conca at that sort of money may have a much heigher scoring ceiling, there are many others. You would no more pick fraawley or merrit or the likes than warnock, even tho in the suns there is the potential he will get the ability to rack some possessions up in that back line. I'd be tempted by the price, the team he is in, and the seniorority he will have in his part of the grouns, I would be put off by the fact he will likely be a KPP Defender and I don't think anyone wants one of them in thier DT.

Hard-running and skilful player who wins plenty of possessions and runs the lines well. Used in the midfield and across half-back in 2010, playing eight games before suffering a season-ending hamstring injury. Cool under pressure and generally makes good decisions.

Was a high draft pick and since he was taken Carlton have not stopped targeting midfielders in their recruiting, So it looks like the blues intend to develop and maintain a supreme midfield forever. The kid gets good wraps from the club, gets a mention as training well and fully fit in the pre-season wrap. He is a risk only due to his job security, but as for his ability and skills he gets top marks. Watch nab cup if he has a role in the side he could be a great pick at a cheap price. At worst he will make a great cash cow if he is playing. At best... heppell, curnow....

Played every game, great average, a few shockers and a few awesome scores, huge max score at 142 discount the 52 which was his worst and the concerning thing, the thing keeping him from joining the top elite mids in DT are the 6 scores under 80, the 4 scores in the 80's.

Prmium Player Rating (MID) 8.5/10 - can't deduct points for his ability cant give him top marks because he just hasnt lifter his average to the 110-120 required to be a gun midfielder, don't get me wrong potentially he is maybe he just is full stop, but whether its the MANY games under 90 that drag him down and more so whether they are the fault of him or the team he is in matters not to DT. Flip a coin take a chance or go safe and don't pick him, he could elevate at any stage and add 10-20 points to his average and be an elite gun midfielder for DT purposes, we all know he is capable of it with his many tons and great 140+ score but if we have to cop 10 scores under 90 and 6 of those under 80, pass for me. However I expect him to lift that average this season and hopefuly eliminate a lot of those low scores in doing so. The improvement in the whole NM side will be apparant with ziebel flying grima flying gun rooks entering thier 2nd year thier is a lot to look forward to for the kangas and every chance swallow will be a unique gun midfield pick that pays off BIG TIME.

I may only be a newbie here but - as I said earlier - this is the
MOST informative thread that I have read all pre-season.
Quick response to questions and provides plenty of details.
Top shelf, Colliwobblers! ;D
Hey thanks for the comments Guys it's an absolute pleasure and rather than surf all over the net I just try to put relevant information in one place for you. I aim this thread at research and try to only supply information and facts and articles that may help you form an opinion one way or the other often based on the requesters question.
I do try to give a brief player rating at the bottom just to summarize and give a vague tip, but I really need (like a few posts ago) people with the knowlege or inside info to call me out on those ratings if they are off the mark, not to undermine me just to make sure I'm not giving readers a false rating on a player. I think I get it right most of the time, but PLEASE feel free to correct me if I am wrong.
Thanks, look forward to researching more players Premium, MidPriced and Rookie all.

Clay Smith was taken with the Bulldogs' first round pick in the 2011 AFL National Draft. Click on the media player above to check-out some of his highlights from Under 18 competition in season 2011.
Pick 17 - Clay Smith (Gippsland Power) 180cm, 78kg, Midfielder
Smith is a tough inside left footer with an insatiable desire to win the ball in the air or on the ground. He is relentless at the opposition when they are in possession. He also has the capacity to win contests when outnumbered, which was a feature of his play representing Vic Country in the NAB AFL U18 Championships, at which he won All Australian honours. He had an excellent year with Gippsland Power, averaging 26.3 disposals, 4.5 clearances and 5.4 tackles.
Draftee watch
The Dogs drafted a bit of everything in November with an inside midfielder (Clay Smith), a key back (Michael Talia), a versatile Easton Wood-type (Daniel Pearce) and a mature-aged goal-kicker from the VFL (Tory Dickson). All arrived ready to step into training and were being eased into the full program, and Smith was the early standout with his elite running capacity and tenacious attitude, and had seamlessly fit into the group as far as his physicality was concerned.

Player Name K H D M HO T FF FA SG G B DT
15 Clay Smith 6 3 9 3 0 3 3 0 0 0 0 48
Rookie PLayer Rating (MID) 7.5/10 - OK it is exactly as you say, what this guy does have going for him is aggression, hard at the ball and hard at the man. Tearing up pre-season. He is an inside midfielder and i'm betting the bulldogs already have him locked in as a replacement for certain similar players getting on in years. As for this season, we just need to know when he will get his first game how much tog and how often he will play, pretty similar to all rooks situations. I rate him, not a DT superstar given his role, but if played a good chance to be a good cash cow, as an in and under onballer he will score less than the outside mid types that rack up possessions and run fwd to goal. But an average of 60-75 is not out of the question in his first year. Maybe more.
Wow that's heaps of info gd work mate Ur a legend cw.
Hi again CW. Loving all your hard work.
Any thoughts on a couple of Pie second stringers..L.Ball and C.Dawes.?
I think Clay's rating should be nudged up just a bit-
he averaged 120 DT points playing for Gippsland power in 2011... has to be considered :P
Hey CW, wouldnt mind your thoughts on Jack Grimes

yeah 7.5 done thanks Zip, my biggest minus on him was / is his chance of early games in that side but it's not like he isn't tough enough for afl already and i guess they didn't recruit him for nothing, thinking if he was a sure starter 8.

Todd Viney’s season assessment
Jack unfortunately got injured and missed the majority of the season. He remains a really important player for us. Jack’s a great size to play in the midfield or half-back. He also has very good leadership skills and we’re excited that he’ll get a good pre-season into him and return next year.
Round-by-round assessment
Comments made by 2011 Melbourne coaching staff members Mark Williams, Brad Gotch and Kelly O’Donnell
AFL: Round 1 v Sydney Swans
Jack was really solid, after an impressive pre-season. He intercepted some marks and gave us good drive from the backline. Mark Williams
AFL: Round 2 v Hawthorn
Grimesy was good. He intercepted marks and switched the play really well. On a few occasions, he fumbled a little bit and didn’t execute his skills to the levels we know he can. It was uncharacteristic and it wasn’t what we expect. Mark Williams
AFL: Round 3 v Brisbane Lions
Grimesy was good and did some fine work off half-back. He was involved in handballs receives and produced another solid game. Mark Williams
AFL: Round 4 v Gold Coast Suns
Grimesy was very solid across half-back. He capitalised on several turnovers and helped set us up with some scores. He finished with 27 touches. Mark Williams
AFL: Round 5 - Bye
AFL: Round 6 v West Coast Eagles
Jack had a solid game. He defended really well and provided some great run out of the backline. He notched up a team-high 27 disposals. Mark Williams
AFL: Round 7 v Adelaide Crows
Unfortunately Jack went off the ground early with a foot injury. It was disappointing for Jack, as he had such a great pre-season and season up until this point. Mark Williams

Mid Priced Player Rating: 7/10 - (DEF) - Ok So Grimes is a DT DEF GUN no ifs no buts no maybeeees, gun gun gun. he also is injury prone 4 seasons in a row now, Grimey comes with ENORMOUS risk of injury, he has the benefit of being able to average you 90+ but is proving hard to count on for 22 games of DT. or even 21... Skill - 8/10 - Security - 6/10 (generous) DT 7/10.
If you pick him and he stays fit you WIN BIG you save 100K on a premium simple, if he gets injured again you risk at least 1 bad score and a trade possibly 2 depending on your cash at the time and structure. No recomendation from me, watch him in nab cup and go with your gut.

Ok I could show you article and write up after article and write up on Ball, but let me just say three things that summarize Ball.
1. Super Star. Sure is is outclassed by the guys around him? not really, Ball plays the hard in and under role and as an inside mid type player he does the dirty work and doesn't ways look silky smooth doing it but he is a Gun and a lock in the pies midfield every day.
2. Super Consistant. Yep a few barry crockers last year giving him a SD of about 18 but that said look at his average and look at his last 7 years of averages and tell me if there are many more consistant DT scorers than Ball.
3. Super Reliable. Ball doesnt get injured he doesnt get rested he doesnt miss games.
Premium Player Rating (MID) 8/10 - i would love to tate him higher but there is very little liklihood he will lift his score, there is even less liklihood he will lower his score so you can bank a 100 avg with ball for the season, no risk but no great potential for huge gains, at his well justified premium price, he is not going to be in many teams and the role he plays is the reason for that, not the best midfielder role in DT terms. But for his role DT aside he is a 10/10 player and a mighty fine PIE :)
Pass for DT for me tho could be a smokie and it is a "little" possible he could lift 10 points????
If he dropped in price for some reason a few bad games or a short term injury thats when he would a good pick up for late season reliability and value if he dropped a lot in price, not likely tho since he is solid and so reliable.
Thanks for info on Ball CW. I am seriously considering him as my first upgrade target now.
Thanks CW. You're a champ :)

The Player - Sprung to prominence in 2010 after three years of development to be crowned a premiership full forward. Is a powerfully built player and a reliable set shot for goal. Improving his ability one-on-one with every match, and possesses remarkable endurance for such a player. With his strong work ethic, a bright future appears likely.
2011
Made a brilliant start to the year. Played in the NAB Cup premiership, and an increased fitness base meant that he was able to make a greater contribution around the ground illustrated by his 26 disposal, two goal game against North Melbourne in round two. Remained a weekly contributor until breaking his knuckle in round 15.
Calf issues further compounded his rehab, and it meant he was forced to wait until round 23 to make a return. Helped keep Collingwood in the game in the famous preliminary final against Hawthorn, kicking three goals including the all-important first of the last quarter. Was subdued on Grand Final day and did not look like his normal self.
2010
In what loomed as a make-or-break year in Dawes’ career, the power forward established himself as a fixture in the senior side and was a key figure in the premiership win.
Promoted to the team for Anzac Day in round five, Dawes kicked seven goals in his next three games. Was demoted to the VFL team for a fortnight (kicking five goals in a losing side against the Northern Bullants at Victoria Park) but was quickly recalled and never looked back.
His season output peaked in round 14 (four goals against West Coast) and round 20 (20 possessions and two goals against Essendon) and he earned his first Brownlow vote with three goals against Port Adelaide. A steady performer in the finals, Dawes went goalless in the drawn Grand Final but fired up with two second half goals to end his breakout season with 30 majors.
2009
Played in two NAB Cup matches but was forced to wait until round 13 before he returned to the senior side. Could manage only three more games and despite impressing against the Crows in round 19 (15 disposals, two goals, seven hitouts) he was omitted before the finals. Continued to work hard in the VFL, kicking 28 goals and earning plaudits for his performances in the finals.
2008
Started in the VFL, playing in each of the first 16 matches of the season. Struck a purple patch midway through the season when he kicked 11 goals in five matches. He timed his run superbly, kicking five goals in wet conditions at Kardinia Park only days before senior teammates Alan Didak and Heath Shaw were suspended for the season.
It resulted in Dawes’ debut against St Kilda the following week. He did his reputation no harm, kicking two goals (including the first of the match with his first kick). He was quiet until the elimination final against Adelaide at AAMI Stadium when he kicked three goals in only his sixth match. Had played in two finals by year’s end, providing an excellent launching pad for 2009.
2007
Was forced to sit out the majority of the year due to his knee construction. Recovered in time to return via the Williamstown reserves mid-season, kicking seven against Bendigo in his second reserves match. Kicked four goals in his VFL debut for Williamstown against Port Melbourne late in the home and away season in Nathan Buckley’s comeback match. Ended the year on a bright note, playing two VFL finals.
2006
Played for Sandringham in the TAC Cup U18 competition, as well as for Brighton Grammar, but injured a knee during the season. Required a full reconstruction that meant he slipped down the order in the National Draft. He was selected by Collingwood with pick No. 28.
Debut
Round 19 2008 v St Kilda at the MCG.

Mid Priced Player Rating (FWD) 6.5/10 -
UPDATE 7.5/10 - Ok so this player has a potential to score well, started 2011 really well, can take a grab, can kick a goal, with a good pre-season and a high fitness base he is a mobile forward. He is not for me and I rate him low due to the role he plays in comparison to the much more DT friendly roles of mid/fwd options such as chapman martin zaka sidebottom christensen and the like. For a KPP type forward which i do consider him, and honestly while he will play from round 1 this season i don't think he will start as fit or as well as he did in 2011, he is not the best DT option around even at his more than reasonable price. I would pick NRoo or Brown over Dawes, If money not an option Buddy or Cloke, (talking KPP type forwards). Otherwise I would pick almost any mid/fwd player at a similar price and be confident of better results.
*WARNING* As a pies supporter I am dirty on Dawes for the poor form he finished the season with, taking out his INJURY GAME and the 2 shockers after his return he averaged 77. If he can improve his consistancy which unfortunately for a key forward is not always in his control he could lift that average to 90 making him a bargain at his mid pricing - however this is why KPP players are hard to pick because there are always if's
But a fairer rating would be 7.5 out of 10 but I'm not giving it to him..... un less there is public outcry, I still mad at him >:(

Ok thats not much of a public outcry but i must respect your oppinion and lift to a 7.5 any otehre with thoughts on this rating please let fly, its a tough call rating players like this huge potential and could be a gun in his position and with all that STILL might not add up to DT GUN. (due to position and opportunities presented to him by his team and otehr teams and weather for that matter, KPF's don't score tons in the rain)
Dawees rating changed 6.5 - 7.5 if you think it should be higher, pick him :)

Medical room
Saints fans have been delighted to see Lenny Hayes taking part in full training and looking extremely fit, after the star midfielder missed nearly all of 2011 with a knee injury. Watters says Nick Riewoldt is "flying" on the track, his post-season knee operation having barely interrupted his preparation for next year. Brownlow Medal runner-up Nick Dal Santo is still recovering from a broken hand, but has been able to maintain his fitness and is on track to play in round one.
http://www.saints.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/5315/newsid/126358/default.aspx
Ok so he broke his fingers grrrrr, should all be healed and fine for round 1. But watch nab cup and reports on him to be sure.
Premium Player Rating 9/10 (MID) - yes i don't believe in 10's. NDS is a super GUN, another like ball that plays the hard in and under role, but NDS has the silky skills and the ability to accumulate possesions to be a genuine DT GUN. I cant think of a better ST Kilda player to have in DT that's unless miaculously Hayes gets back to his absolute best and still how fat NDS has come would make Hayes surpassing him now unlikely even at his best. I cannot give you a single reason other than those 6 shocking games not to lock NDS into your side, he has the potential to score 100's and BIG 100's every time he takes the field. If you took the 6 un-NDS like games out he would have averaged more than Swan (i think). Watch him in nabcup or at least know his fingers are fixed and he hasnt suffered any loss of fitness over preseason before picking him, and if not pick him and if he eliminates those 6 2011 games from his 2012 season look forward to an average around 116.8.
Oh I am so keen on NDS but i won't be starting with him sadly. Hopefully an upgrade target but I have already planned on bringing in Boyd and Pendles... :P

I know right? take a look at those DT scores and tell me there isnt a stirring in your loins, :-[
Take out the round 14 bye and you have a run of 9 tons in a row including a 120 a 133 a 134 a 140 and a 154
Come on how good is he, im so excited and yet he isnt in my team either, but now i think maybe he should be?
Yeah. Dead Keen. I'll have to tinker :P
Sorry CW, I know you have been working like an absolute machine! but would love to know your thoughts on Matthew Pavlich?

A sixth Doig Medal was reward for consistency for Freo’s brilliant skipper who rarely, if ever, put in a bad game in 2011. He started the year brilliantly, gaining 20 or more disposals in each of the first 10 rounds. In fact, he averaged 28.5 possessions per game from rounds 1-7 in which Freo built up a 4-2 win-loss record. Pav’s most dominant game of the season came when the side was struggling with injuries sustained during the round 14 match against Brisbane at Patersons Stadium. He lifted his team over the line with 29 disposals and five goals. Pavlich topped Freo for total kicks (272), effective kicks (167), clearances (87), inside 50s (83) and score assists (27). He was also top three in total disposals (471), contested (212) and uncontested (255) possessions, handballs (199), hard ball gets (77) and tackles (86). After playing predominantly midfield in 2011, the full-time return of Mundy, Barlow and Morabito in 2012 should see Pavlich return to the forward line as Freo’s focal point in attack.

So here we have another DT Gun year after year week after week... take out the game we shouldn't count in 2011 (39) and a great year again for pavlova. Scores tons regularly and can put out some big ones.
The key here for 2012 selection is that Pav scores his best DT scores up forward (different hey) but he does, and with the return of Barlow and Mundy and co with a full midfield Pav is set to play a FWD role mostly, which should see him score more DT points.
Pav is an expensive premium you pick at a pillar in your fwd line, he WILL NOT let you down, (If he is on the ground), he had a couple of average scores last season and the 39 after doing the hip then missed the last 2. Otherwise would have averages higher again for the season
Downside: Yes there is one, his age, check the last article, it is feasabile and even likely that Pav may get rested from time to time throughout the season, this to me is LESS likely due to the fact he is the skipper and can rest up forward anyway, but check the last article it is something that has to be considered. This is what makes Pav an upgrade target for me. One his starting price, two i want to see how he goes.

Prmium PLayer Rating (MID/FWD) 9/10 - cant take points off PAV, he is a gun, he is playing his prefered DT role in 2012, he is the skipper. He carries only the slightest rick of being rested in easy games or late in games they have a big lead in, for me at FF not off the ground but that could still effect his DT scores. I doubt you can "rest,manage,or holddown" Pav tho.

This is a little different kind of a question...
CW which is the best value?
Michael Barlow - 424k
Luke Shuey - 413k
Andrew Gaff - 322k
With everyone jumping on the Barlow Bus I'm thinking of being cheeky and checking out the Gaffy one?

The way opinion, teams being discussed and posted as well as general "expert adive", Barlow will score like a premium or close to a premium, given that i think he is a must have, someone who can score you the 100-115 in your midfield all season but more importantly FROM round 1 and at Barlows price is a must have and if you don't have him and your enemy does, you are either 100K behind or however many points less your rookie or midpricer taken instead of him scores.
As for Shuey, and gaff well, Shuey is not going to score as well as Barlow, I would risk having him as well as Barlow or not at all, its great to be different but not at the cost of your scoring capacity, Gaff is 100K cheaper so he is a different issue, still to have him over Barlow you still need him to hit mid 80s as a minimum if Barlow is 100+ but even then he costs you a trade where Barlow doesnt.
Shuey needs to have a break out year and increase his average by 20, Barlow just needs to stay fit and be Barlow.
Gaff I'm not sure on without doing some research. ::)
Hi All, I have just added and will continue to update an INDEX on the first post of this thread to make it easier to find players you are interested in that have already been researched.
Thanks
Great work. Thanks Colli. I think I'll have to play safe and take Barlow...

Rookie Player Rating: 9.5/10 - I hate to give a perfect score to anyone, so 9.5. GUN, best rookie defender available, tall, very fast, strong AFL ready, learnt a ton from FEV and Caesy's best and fairest as well as considered one of the stars of the VLF. Nothing but good reports on him. Rebounding defender that will run through the midfield, only an imbosile would have this kind of talent used as a KPP or a lock down player, his syle is reminiscent of goddard and delidio the way they can attack off HB and run in the middle, and his delivery is akin to sucklings big straight left boot. A lock for any 2012 DT.
So colly you do think he will be used in a rebounding role? i always imagined he would be used as a KPP, dont know how many tall backs they have

Ok I looked into this guy a lot before I did my research piece and didn't include the below article (comments) on him due to it being old. But I think the piece below best describes him and his potential to star at AFL level, but more importantly for us star as a DT rook.
*He is a KPP defender make no mistake, but he has great speed and he should be the player given the ball to clear it, likely a lot of kick ins too, lets hope he kicks to himself :). He will not be a DT player in 3 years the same as other key defenders are not, but as a rookie and in the side he is in that will look to him to be the absolute leader and go to guy in defence he will go well for us as a DT DEF Rookie I think, but your point is valid and we will have to watch the nab cup to make sure he can rebound and get lots of possies in defence, ( i get the feeling he could be a high acumulating back ala hawks possesion defence) as he looks for options coming out of defence and tries to control the play, slow things down and steady the yound side.
3RD PARTY ARTICLEStill waiting on confirmation that Mohr is actually a Giant but i expect to see him holding down a key defensive post for GWS from round 1 next season. He is a massive unit and rebounds well for a big man. Has good pace and reach and will be able to play on the strongest forwards protecting some of the smaller bodied Giants. Having a relatively inexperienced defensive half, Mohr may be used as an outlet from defence as his kick has very good distance and penetration. Won Casey's B&F and was named in the VFL team of the year. He also ran a 2.89sec 20m sprint to finish 6th at the national combine, a pretty impressive number for someone of 195cm.
Former Tasmanian who reads the play well and has the ability to come off his opponent and impact the contest. He is rarely beaten one on one and strong in the air. He can set up counter attacks from defense.
His Q&A isn't listed on the AFL website but when asked the question which AFL player do you think you most resemble i would expect to see Harry Taylor listed. Both come from the state leagues as mature players, Mohr like Taylor, also plays his best football when he is able to zone off his man and intercept marks. The similarities go all the way to the pair being possibly the only high level footballers in the country to wear zinc on their faces regularly. Alas Mohr is right footed but if we were going to see him run out in one of the top teams next year i would expect a similarly significant impact as Taylor made in his debut season.
It will be interesting to see how he goes at the Giants but at the very least i would expect him to play all games barring injury and suspension. In fantasy terms he is a key defender, but if there was a key defender i would pick it would be Mohr. Watch out for his role in the NAB cup because he does take a lot of marks and he has a booming kick that the Giants may well take advantage of.
Insane effort you are doing, kudos to you!

Kyal Horsley 182cm, 85kg, 02/09/87
Club: Gold Coast
Position: MID
Price: $119,800 DT, $128,700 SC
(http://www.goldcoastfc.com.au/data/images/team/2012/J000484_GCSUNS_Player_Profile_Thumbnail_Horsley(1).jpg)
Originally from Kalgoorlie City,Horlsey won the 2011 Best & Fairest with WAFL club Subiaco and finishedsecond in the Sandover Medal (WAFL’s MVP).
Horsley has played 89 WAFL games and comes to the GC SUNS as a ready made AFL player whose body shape and size will provide added protection for the clubs young list.
A long left foot kick, Horsely has been on the radar of a number of clubs as a mature age recruit.
Fantasy Footy Club Player Profile 2012:Although he copped a fairly significant blow to his fantasy chances when he was not classified as a bac/mid, Horsley as a mature age player is still very relevant and will likely feature in a number of fantasy teams next season as he is ready to play. Averaged good numbers in the WAFL last season after transforming himself from a solid rebounding defender to a dynamic on-baller part way through the season. With neat skills and a great attack on the ball; Horsley's game is well suited to fantasy as he gets good tackle numbers, has a high kick to handball ratio and can get forward to kick goals. Not quite sure on Gold Coast rookie rules but would assume since they have no veterans that they would be able to elevate two rookies before the start of the season which should see Horsley feature in the round 1 side. Averaged 24 possessions a game and finished runner-up in the Sandover medal in the 2011 WAFL season.
Should get good numbers, and be one of the higher scoring mature age draftees next season. If as i expect, he is named in that round 1 team he will be an automatic selection for my teams. Don't let his mid only status put you off.

Rookie Player Rating (MID) 7.5/10 - mature aged recruit absolute star great team for him to be in with his ability age and experience, the only reason he is not a 9 is that he is rookie listed, however GCS only have 4 rookies on the list no vets list so they can promote 2, 1 has to be horsley and I expect him to play early in the year. If he starts round 1 i'll be finding a spot for him and it will be on the grass not the pine imo.

When I get the list together I will put it up on a seperate thread and others may be able to point out missing players or other relevant points and I can update it from there.

Rookie PLayer Rating 7/10 (MID) - Ok I think this guy can and maybe will be a gun, he is not very fast is the only reason he didnt go higher in the draft, but he is an inside midfielder so who cares right? Regardless of all of this he is a very good player and development in an AFL club will make him into a gun, only fears are when will he play. Watch closely at nab cup if he makes an appearance and impresses he must be considered for your midfield rooks.

Sam Rowe (CAR) RUCK/FWD $98,700
#17 Carlton Blues
Age: 24yr 2mth Games: 0 Born: November 19, 1987
Height: 198cm Weight: 94kg Position: Defender
Last Drafted: Round 2, Pick #44 2011 National Draft
Last Drafted By: Carlton Blues
(http://mm.afl.com.au/Portals/0/carlton_images/daorkpeayesyyehsy.jpg)
ONE OF the surprises of the 2011 NAB AFL Draft was sprung by Carlton, when it selected 24-year-old Sam Rowe with pick 44.
Rowe, who stands 198cm and is an athletic strong-marking forward, was rookied by the Sydney Swans in 2005 and spent two seasons at the club without playing a game.
After a strong season in the SANFL with Norwood - of which the Blues monitored closely - Rowe became a Blue officially after being told he would be picked last month.
"I actually told him he was going to get picked five or six weeks ago because he was going to Europe for a holiday," Hughes said.
Carlton coach Brett Ratten said the success of mature-age recruit Nick Duigan in 2011 - Duigan was drafted as a 26-year-old after impressing with Norwood in the SANFL, the same club as Rowe - had given the club belief it was making the right call on Rowe.
"We identified his talent last year and he fitted some of the positions we've been screaming out for, and we kept in contact with him through the year," Ratten said.
"The confidence that we took out of Duigan this year was important, and Nick shows him that you can come in and fit into the team really well and quickly."
As well as Rowe's skills - his kicking is his standout feature - Ratten was most impressed with Rowe's competitive instincts, something the coach believes has developed out of his unusual path to the top level.
"There's no doubt that players now sometimes have to go through the system, go out and then come back after waiting a few years," Ratten said.
"But the talent is there and it's good to see players get a second chance."

ROOKIE PLAYER RATING: 6.5/10- (RUCK?FWD) - both a generous rating (KPP PLAYER) and a hard rating for the same reason. This guy is definately AFL ready and all news out of the blues is that they need him and they need him playing. While he is a Ruck/Fwd DPP i dont ecpect him to see much if any ruck time, they need him as a key position forward and will use him as such. He is strong can take a grab and kick a goal, but as a KPP and against a lot of great KPP defenders he isnt going to be a dt rookie gun for me. But he makes an excellent selection for your ruck bench if you can make use of his DPP status, if not he makes a viable downgrade target as he will play. I'll be starting giles and stephensen over him but for those going 3 or 4 rookie rucks this is one of your picks.

#32 St Kilda Saints
Age: 24yr Games: 0 Born: January 8, 1988
Height: 183cm Weight: 77kg Position: Forward
Not to be confused with his brother Tim, Terry is a small forward/mid with good skills and a lot of x-factor. A benefit he has is that as opposed to run of the mill small forwards is that at 185cm he has quite good hands. Milera also has very good balance and his poise means down the track he may eventually become a midfielder, where he plays a fair amount of his SANFL footy. He will likely start his AFL career at half-forward however and despite his low weight, his evasiveness should allow him to play next season in the AFL. In terms of playing style he reminds me of a bit of Stephen Hill, albeit without Hill's excellent endurance base and booming kick. Saints supporters should be happy with this acquisition and bringing another game-breaker into the team.
Lightly-built medium forward and midfielder who is trying to break into the AFL at the age of 22. Won the 2010 reserves best and fairest in the SANFL while playing for the Port Adelaide Magpies.
23-year-old Milera had a standout year for the Port Adelaide Magpies as a lightly-built small forward.

Rookie Player Rating (FWD) - 6/10 - talented mature age small forward I've rated him on a mix of ability age and liklihood of playing, may have to adjust the rating if he looks like getting early games. averaged 68 in dt for the lear last year at port pies, and again is a mature age recruit, will go up against a stacked small forward st kilda forward line for a spot which throws me off him. Watch nabcup to see if and how he is used, obviously the saints wanted him and saad, but GWS didnt so going to have to wait and see.

Jonathan Brown - Hero , Idiot , Gun & Bargain for 2012.
Not much point telling you who Brown is or posting articles I'll put down a few key points and you can make your own mind up.
1. Full Pre-Season, first in a long time, so he is fit he is healthy.
2. Gun midfield feeding him the ball. The lions midfield and defence for that matter is improving out of sight, there is a very strong chance the ball will go forward and when it does Brown knows how to find it.
3. ? I can't confirm this, but I am predicting Brown has learnt his lesson, being a HERO, did nothing to help his team and trust me Brown is a team player. For all his heroics at the ball he cost his team a vital key forward for a lot of games, I personaly think he will be less reckless this season.
4. Proven DT Gun see below stats.
5. Bargain price.

Mid Priced Player Rating (FWD) - 8.5/10 - drops a couple of points for the risk of him being a reckless idiot again and getting injured. There is very little risk however given his preseason and ability that he will not perform and at his price he is almost a must have in a fwd line with a midpricer. There is some competition in the pricing in the fwd line but you would want to be sure about who you take to take them over Brown Dog.

Doing the shave off the hair to raise money, i don't know i don't like it then i didn't like pendles either. but as long as they keep winning us games who cares.
The Player - A hit with supporters since his eye-catching 2006 debut, Thomas superseded Nathan Buckley as the club's most marketable player when the club legend retired at the end of 2007. But he has since proven that he is as much about substance as he is style, playing in a brave and determined fashion that has seen him gain the respect of the football public. Pace, high marking, freakish goals and the ability to do the impossible are his trademarks, as Thomas is regularly in the running for mark and goal of the week. He made a brilliant start to his league career, but appeared to regress slightly in the years following as his body developed.
By 2010, though, he had developed an elite fitness base that allowed him to spend most of his time on the wing where his flair and speed made him a key factor in the club's premiership campaign. He has regularly demonstrated his ability to perform during the finals and enshrined himself as a star of the competition with two superb efforts in the 2010 Grand Finals. His blistering start to 2011 left some in no doubt that he was the best player in the game, and All-Australian recognition was a just reward for his efforts. With his newfound consistency, the sky is the limit.
2011
Continued his improvement as a midfielder to the point where St Kilda coach Ross Lyon mused mid-season that Thomas may be the best player in the competition. Lyon’s comments followed a hot streak in which Thomas polled maximum Brownlow votes for two weeks running against the Crows and the Eagles.
Was suspended for two weeks mid-season for striking Saint Clint Jones but it did little to take the wind out of his sails. Another suspension in round 23 against Fremantle did, however, meaning he missed the qualifying final. Went down fighting in the Grand Final defeat (31 disposals and seven tackles), and played in the pre-season premiership. Finished the year ranked sixth in the Copeland Trophy.
2010
Transformed his game, going from flashy half forward to full time wingman. Increased his fitness base and subsequently his output, increasing his average disposal count to 23.9 (up from 17.2) and his tackle count to 3.5 (up from 2.9). Became a real weapon as the fourth midfielder behind Swan, Pendlebury and Ball, and still managed to push forward to score goals (18.14 for the season).
Was excellent throughout the finals campaign. Kicked a goal in each final, and started with 32 disposals against the Bulldogs in the qualifying final. Was Collingwood’s best player over the two Grand Finals, enhancing his reputation enormously in the process. Had 26 touches and eight tackles in the drawn Grand Final, and was one player to stand up when the heat was on in the final quarter. Repeated the dose with 27 possessions in the replay, this time ending the day a premiership player. Was third in the Copeland Trophy and tied for the Bob Rose Award (Best Player in Finals).

Premium Player Rating (MID) 9/10 - GUN dead set gun, still young and a little inexperienced can hopefuly eliminate the mistakes (twice leading to suspension last season) from his game and raise his consistancy. Can see Daisy lifting his average another 10 points. a worthy pick but a risky one as there are guys we can bank on at the same price. But Daisy will continue to improve. Has a very high ceiling he hasnt touched as yet.
Thanks again CW. Daisy would mean a major restructure at this stage.
For my final request before the NAB cup any ideas on Luke Shuey?
Love your work, can you do Callum Bartlett please
Could you do a write up on Leigh Adams? Also what do you think he will average? Thanks.

A tough as nails mid/fwd that will get his hands dirty
Adams, 23, has signed until the end of 2014 after finishing fourth in the club's best and fairest.
Used mainly at half-forward but with stints through the midfield in 2011, he averaged 20 possessions a game and kicked 16 goals for the year.
"It is another show of faith by one of our future leaders with Leigh agreeing to a new contract," North chief of football Donald McDonald told kangaroos.com.au.
Adams' impressive season comes off the back of a third-placed finish in the 2010 Syd Barker Medal.
"He is fast becoming one of our most consistent players. It is a credit to Leigh that he has overcome many injury setbacks to become the player he is today."
Selected in the rookie draft in 2006, Adams has played 44 games since his debut.

Premium Player Rating: 8/10 (MID/FWD) - ok borderline mid priced player. My take on Adams is he is on the improve, he will life his average again in 2012 by up to 15 more points, GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY. Not the strongest side in the comp but an improving one, strong rucks and a midfield that is capable if not yet strong, Adams should see enough ball come his way to have every opportunity to average mid 90's. I feel he is capable of it with a full seasson playing between the mids and half forward, more likely in my oppinion ot play mostly fwd and can find the big sticks. Not an option for a couple of years let for your midfield but would make a unique pick for your fwd line and potentially a good one, if he goes well in nab cup consider him.

#13 Brisbane Lions
Age: 20yr 7mth Games: 0 Born: June 19, 1991
Height: 179cm Weight: 75kg Position: Midfield
Last Drafted: Round 2, Pick #27 2009 National Draft
Last Drafted By: Brisbane Lions
(http://mm.afl.com.au/Portals/0/images/clubs/lions/bartlett_pose-c.jpg)
Introduction
Callum Bartlett has undergone two consecutive knee reconstructions since starring for the Geelong Falcons U18s as a 17 year-old. Highly rated within the Lions' ranks, he presents a quick and agile goal-kicking midfield option with excellent ball-winning ability.
Background
• Bartlett spent his junior career at North Geelong before joining the Geelong Falcons U18 side as a 16 year-old.
• He averaged 15 disposals per game as an underage player in his first season with the Falcons and received plaudits for his hard workrate, explosive pace and penetrating left foot kick.
• Tragically, Bartlett tore the ACL in his left knee during the last training session before the Falcons' season-opener in early April 2009. "It was something I had done a illion times," he said. "I won the footy, changed direction and my knee sort of just gave way on me."
• After suffering the season-ending injury, Bartlett remained involved with the Falcons by sitting with their assistant coaches on match-day, keeping statistics and keeping an eye on the opposition. He would studying the team's upcoming opponents and discuss their strategies with his team-mates.
• He remained diligent with his recovery and even completed part of his rehabilitation at Skilled Stadium in the same facilities used by the 2009 premiers - Geelong. It further proved the young man's desire to play AFL the following year.
• Bartlett's obvious abilities as a 17 year-old proved enough for the Brisbane Lions who drafted him with their first selection at the 2009 National Draft (Pick No.27 overall).
2010
• Bartlett spent his first AFL pre-season in rehabilitation from his previous year's knee surgery before making his on-field return with the Lions Reserves side for their Round 2 clash against Morningside.
• He quickly became an integral part of the Lions Reserves side with his dash and awareness key features of his game. After more than a month of solid performances, Bartlett was on the cusp of being selected to make his debut in the senior side.
• But disaster struck again in the Reserves' Round 9 clash against Aspley when Bartlett ruptured the ACL in his opposite knee which forced him to undergo another full knee reconstruction.
• The 18 year-old midfielder was unfortunately faced with the prospect of being sidelined for a further 12 months.
2011
• Much like his first season with the Club, Bartlett spent his pre-season in rehabilitation from a second consecutive knee reconstruction.
• After taking a cautious approach to his recovery, Bartlett eventually returned through the Lions Reserves in July and was eased back into action.
• He impressed the Lions coaching staff with his unwavering commitment, and enjoyed arguably his most complete month of football with the Club during the final month of the season.
• Unfortunately time ran out in 2011 for Bartlett to make his senior debut, but he was buoyed by the fact he got through unscathed and could approach the 2012 pre-season injury-free for the first time of his young career.
• He also managed to catch the eye of the NEAFL umpires who awarded him four votes in the Grogan Medal - which was the fourth most received by any of the listed Lions players.

Rookie Player Rating : 6/10 MID - My belief with this guy is the lions want him to play, they believe in his abilities and you can bet they see him adding more of the same as rocky and red have given the lions in the middle, BUT he would need one great preseason and to shine in the nabcup to be considered, even so unless they really rate him and really neeed him a start to his season in the 2s seems far more appropriate with a mid season debut in the afl, keep him on your watchlist if thats the case because on that round 11 bye he would make a PERFECT downgrade target for one of your rooks from the round 12.

Few could doubt that the 2011 AFL season had a more impressive story than that of Luke Shuey. Dogged by injury and illness early in his career, 2011 provided Shuey with the platform to stake his claim as one of West Coast’s premium midfielders. His ability to locate and use the ball in stoppage situations, coupled with his ability to break tackles and kick goals, really impressed the West Coast faithful and pundits around the league. His tremendous form was recognised by both the AFL and the club, as he finished runner-up in the NAB Rising Star Award and fifth in the Club Champion Award.

Shuey is having a great pre-season winning most running drills and set to break out this season, that said it's your midfield and you want 100+ as a minimum.
Mid Priced Player Rating: (MID) 8.5/10 - 8.5 because i think he is in for a break out year if he stays fir continues to develop and has the support around him to get opportunities. I think at his price and the fact he will be doing well to break the 100 average he is not the best pick or even a viable option for the midfield, but he will be a premium midfielder this season or next but not one of the top shelf ones, and a lot needs to be achieved and go right for him to take the next step this season.

Outlook
It was a tough season for the smart on-baller who was given time off in the first half of the year to deal with personal issues. Returned to the VFL line-up and broke through to play one game at AFL level, but was squeezed out as Geelong’s finals preparation stepped up. Has been in the system a few years and will be looking for more opportunities in the midfield.

UPDATE: Shone in the first Full NAB CUP game, looks to be on top of everything and playing great footy, consider his JS, then consider him. Not new to footy.
Mid Priced Player Rating: (MID) - 7/10 - may be generous, he will get senior games when he is right and i think this season he will be right. named in cats vfl sides best on ground 5 times last season and is "dealing with" the depression so that should not be an obstacle this season. Just needs the opportunity of getting a senior game and for his ridiculous low price would be a good pick, on the flip side the best rooks out there are probably more attractive hence my hesitant rating for him.

Sorry for the delay in responding, sometimes the requests come and by the time i do a player the thread is on the next page and I miss it.
This thread is pretty comprehensive of the rookie listed players with insight into who the community believes will be promoted.
Thanks again for your good work CW. May yet squeeze Shuey in as a mid pricier.

His 3rd Year was his breakout year as it so oftern is, so what happens now?
2011 Club Best and Fairest, 2011 DT breakout season, 2012 added to the laedership group, retained his spot in the middle even after the more senior bomber midfielders returned, played through his knee issues which seem significant, rested a lot of the preseason to deal with the knee issues, is apparantly fit and firing for the start of the 2012 season...

Premium PLayer Rating (MID/FWD) 8.5/10 - OK so why wouldnt we have Zaka in our FWD line as a lock? break out year was last season and with the limitations potentially placed on him with his knee issues his ceiling may be reached. Given the knee issues will he play a role less in the midfield. The reasons to pick him? there is good advice suggesting you do and that he will lift again this season, finished the season last year very strongly and the knees may have caused him pain but not slowed his DT scoring a bit. He scored as well or better with the guns back in the middle with him. He is obviously a talented player and its a simple choice will he level out or will he lift further, i think at worst he will average 90 and play all games, at best he will become an elits and lift another 15 points average to sit nivcely above the ton.
great write up cw appreciate it ;D
I didnt realise he had such a slow start to the season with 6 sub 70 scores, but he did bring it home very nicely.
i think ive now settled on lewis, just think he will be in a top 4 side this yr, will never cop a tag and have a few others im wanting to fit in coming back from injuries and dont want someone who could break down at anytime even though reports r good.
cheers m8 your efforts made that decision for me ;D
Ive been warned off zaka de to his apparant tendonitis of both knees ? and the fact he wont brask out again this year after doing it last year, i was on him then off him, currently off him but its an on again off again relationship, will watch closely over the nab cup but for now im off...

Anthony Miles (GWS) MID $104,200
HEIGHT 5’10†/ 1.81
WEIGHT 78.8

ORIGIN Howlong, NSW
(http://www.gwsgiants.com.au/assets/files/Album%20Images/GIANTS%20v%20NT%20Thunder/Anthony%20Miles%20kicking.jpg)
Anthony Miles is an inside midfielder from Howlong near Albury and is hailed as a natural leader having captained NSW/ACT at both the NAB Under‐16 and Under‐18 Championships.
In 2009 Miles played 13 matches as a bottom aged player for the Murray Bushrangers in the TAC Cup, and in 2010 he played 11 matches to average an elite 27 disposals and 12 contested possessions per match.
In both seasons he was runner‐up in the Bushrangers best and fairest and in 2010 was selected in the TAC Cup Team of the Year.
At the 2009 NAB Under‐18 Championships he averaged 13 disposals and five-contested possessions while in 2010 his averages of 30 disposals and 13 contested possessions were both ranked number one.
These efforts saw him selected in the 2010 NAB AFL U18 All‐Australian team.
OK This write up I am going to keep nice and short. Watch Miles during the NAB Cup, something will be seriously wrong if he isnt there and doesnt impress you, should be a lock in teh starting GWS midfield this season as he was last season, Not a better rookie pick available from thier midfield, clifton and shiel are below him in my humble oppinion.
Just a gun midfielder plain and simple nothing else to say, will need to step up in AFL footy but at every level he has played at to date he has been in the top few in B&F, in DT scores, in BOG.
Rookie Player Rating (MID) 9/10. amongst the best rooks I've looked at so far. The stats from last year along with the comments from Freako in his prospectus along with other forums and comments from the club and fans all add up to this kid being a must have, although that list of must haves is growing every day is it not.

Rookie Player Rating (DEF) 6/10 - a generous ranking ans a harsh one, the guy has proven ability tho certainly not elite ability, however he is a defender after all and how many of them are elite DT scorers. Carlton showed faith in his injury prone self by sleecting him over ohailpin to stay with the club, commented on him as a neccessairy player adding more confidence to us DT'ers that he will get his shot if fit. I think he will get games if he is fit and I hear he is having a good pre-season, however looking at his history he is HORRIBLY injury prone and a massive risk. Priced just over the rookie price he is both a bargain and a waste of that extra cash, you will need to watch nab cup and see what you see and go with your gut at his price he seriously is worth watching but he is also a massive risk.
UPDATE:
Will play round 1, but will really have to play well to cement his spot in the side, Laidler will be back in the 2nd or 3rd round and will be straight in not sure on JS but will get his chance. Better pick for SC.
Ok a Self-nominated GWS Rookie from me next.
Name: Taylor Adams (GWS) MID/FWD $125,700
Club: Geelong Falcons, Victoria
Date of birth: 20/09/93
Height: 179cm
Weight: 80kg
Drafted Pick : 14
(http://mm.afl.com.au/Portals/0/TaylorAdams316a22.jpg)
NAB AFL Draft Combine: Adams showed off his impressive endurance with a 15.1 beep test and a 10:39 in the 3km time trial. His 20m sprint time was a touch over three seconds, which shows he has some speed to go with his big tank.
Jason Phelan says: Adams is a classy midfielder who also has a hard edge to his game that has seen him likened to Geelong's Jimmy Bartel. He averaged 28 possessions per match with the Falcons this year with 10 of those contested. He is a strong tackler who is tough to shake loose once he latches on. He disposes of the ball well by hand in traffic and is an elite kick off his right boot. Adams has strong leadership credentials. He was one of many Falcons to have a quiet game against Oakleigh in the last round of the TAC Cup, but he maintained a strong voice despite the lopsided nature of the contest that ended with a 130-point margin.
Kevin Sheahan says: Averaged 18.8 disposals and four tackles at NAB AFL U18 Championships. Exceptional leader, is clean and strong around contest. U18 All-Australian. From St Joseph's FC.
In his own words:"I'm a hard in-and-under midfielder that is good around contests. I can also play outside and am a consistent kick off my left and right foot."

Rookie Player Rating: MID/FWD 8.5/10 - looks a gun to me a hard body and a skilled player seems a must in the youthful GWS midfield, taken at pick 14 he would have to play most games wouldn't he? this is the only risk, we just keep on seeing great midfielders (potentially" from GWS so who and when are questions we need answers for. But watch this guy he going to be a gun I think and already touted as a future leader.
Except that he was involved in an "altercation" recently, will have to see if there are any club-imposed sanctions for him

Yeah last article, it was a lot of months ago and at the falcons not GWS, and i very much doubt he would have been at fault given teh wraps he has recieved on his "leadership qualities" but who knows.

Mid Priced Player Rating (FWD) 7/10- I could probably have gone a bit higher based on his potential vs his extreme low price. There are two articles I have attached which put me in two minds, 1. the coach rates him he is in great shape, could play more in the middle and even if he doesnt looks good for a 60+ average which = super cash cow. 2. is the repeated statement "if we can get games into his this season", what is that, just trying to make us wonder? the only question on props is when will he play where will he play and for how long will he play, he seems very fit i would have had him in the best 22 so why the question of if we can get some games into hiim, that is the only thing making me worry about him, never set the world on fire in DT averaging a high of almost 80 is 2008, but pretty consistant since then apart from a slight drop off in 2010 and last year being a write off, i reckon with the new coach and an improving midfield a potential stint in the middle and in the best 22 porps would be a GREAT pick and at his price an 8.5/10, but the wuestion of JS remains unanswered so a 7 for now.

Elevated from the rookie list at the end of the 2011 season the leading forward will be pushing for selection after a solid pre-season. Panos has been effective in the forward line in the VFL over the past two seasons.
Draft history: 2010 Rookie Draft selection (Western Bulldogs) No. 48.
Matthew Panos is an athletic, silky-smooth 193cm, key Forward from the Norwood Football Club/Rostrevor College First XVIII. He has a great set of hands and a long precision kick, as demonstrated when he led SA in goal-kicking in the NAB AFL U/18 National Championships in 2009. Matthew was selected All Australian Full Forward.

http://www.hobsonsbayweekly.com.au/news/local/sport/football-australian-rules/vfl-grand-final-matthew-panoss-progress-what-now/2306282.aspx
Rookie Player Rating (FWD) 6/10 - a KPP might find a home at Full Forward with the retirement of Hall, seems ready for AFL footy, broke out in the finals of the VFL last season. Elevated to the Bulldogs senior list as a result, no question the dogs need him on the ground in the FWD line, no telling what they will do tho, a low mark due to the uncertainty and the KPP status, but if he gets a run he looks like a good fit in a tall forward lacking side and can find the goals.

Mid Priced Player Rating (FWD) 6.5/10 - I think Grant will step it up this year, there will be opportunities to do without Hall and there will likely be more support from the new coach, having been dropped i think 3 times last year his DT scoring and his general form and confidence were far from where they need to be. No question of him getting the games, the only question will be can he step it up. At his low price there are far worse options out there and he could be a very successful unique pick
Great work mate, and love reading your insight. Could you do reviews for the following players: Will Sierakowski, Anthony Morabito, Courtenay Dempsey, Majak Daw, Tom Derickx, and Brandon Matera. Thanks Champ!

Freo’s top pick from the 2009 AFL Draft (No.4) sustained a knee injury during the pre-season and missed the entire 2011 season. After showing promising signs towards the end of the 2010 season, Morabito looked set to take the next step in 2011. His rehabilitation has been rolling along nicely and he will be a welcomed addition to Fremantle’s midfield in 2012. The 191cm Morabito is an incredible athlete who creates a match-up headache for opposition coaches with his great speed and strength.

MID PRICED PLAYER RATING: (MID) 7.5/10 - ok so ridiculous price and if he is showing great form and fitness in nabcup get on him, low rating as it was a terrible injury he sustained. Also due to his relatively average DT output in 2010, that said he got close enough to the tons several times and it was his first season, well this will be like a first season all over again after a year out, top draft pick for a reason very talented and will feature in FREO's best 22 if fit and firing, super cash cow, not a keeper for 2012, take him over a rook ii the same way you would take a high draft pick (coniglio/buntine) over an ordinary rook, but don't expect miracles.

Majak Daw (NM) RUCK $104,200
Height: 194cm
Weight: 89kg
DOB: 11/03/91
Recruited from: Western Jets
Bio: Athletic and versatile tall who can play at either end and in the ruck. Exceptionally quick for his size and strong in the air. Amazing natural leap. Learning the game and improving rapidly, booting 8 goals in the final three rounds of the TAC Cup in 2009. His 3.03sec 20m and level 13.6 beep test were impressive for a tall forward at the Victorian screening along with his standing jump of 70cm (top 14 per cent).
(http://resources1.news.com.au/images/2011/07/11/1226092/622969-majak-daw.jpg)
There was much hype surrounding the selection of Daw in the 2009 rookie draft.
The first Sudanese-born player to be listed at an AFL club, he boasts outstanding athleticism and agility for his size but is still regarded as a developing prospect having only begun playing the game at the age of 14.
While a little undersized for a ruckman, Daw's terrific leap allowed him to compete against much taller opponents in the VFL.
Injury meant his season was interrupted and Daw was unable to secure a regular spot in Werribee's senior team, however there were some stand-out performances at reserve level to keep fans excited.

Rookie Player Rating (RUCK) 5/10 - Low rating player still rookie listed, and my faith in NM playing even its senior listed rooks with anything resembling sanity or regularity is simply non existent (yeah ok bias) but seriously just too risky to start majak, i do know from interviews with the coach last season and his TV appearances which i enjoy, that they are working hard on this player are excited about him and sooner or later he will make his AFL debut and i think go well. Don't start him until they start him, hopefully they do and he manages to hold his spot so we can all use him as a mid season downgrade target.

Rookie Player Rating: (RUCK) 6.5/10 - So here we have another rookie ruck,one with injury issues and HOPES of breaking into the senior side for a debut at the top level this season.6.5/10 is because there is no guarantee he will play early afl games. I predict a start to the season in the VFL if he performs he will get a mid season debut if there is room for him in the senior side. On the other hand he wasn't picked at 23 for nothing and watching that video he can play strong mature takes a grab accurate by foot good in the ruck and seems to have the footy smarts. ONE TO WATCH. Some sources say he could be in the Tigers best 22, so dutifully taken advice and up his rating from 5 to 6.5 and say now WATCH EVEN CLOSER :)

Thanks for that theflyinghawk, I will adjust him up to a 6.5 based on your knowlege and belief in his getting games, which basically is why he was a low rating.

DISCUSSION: http://www.fanfooty.com.au/forum/index.php/topic,44635.0.html
North Melbourne picked up Will Sierakowski from Hawthorn in exchange for selection 58 in the 2011 National Draft.
A skilful left-footer who plays mainly across half-back and on the wing, Sierakowski was signed to the Hawks' NSW scholarship program and rookie-listed in 2009.
North Melbourne list manager Cameron Joyce says the 21 year-old will be a valuable addition to the club's playing list.
"We are excited to add Will to our squad. He runs well out of defence and through the middle of the ground and his skill level, especially by foot is terrific. He's also strong overhead," Joyce told kangaroos.com.au.
In 2011 Sierakowski was promoted to Hawthorn's senior list and played an important part in Box Hill's run to the finals at VFL level.

Rookie Player Rating (DEF) 7/10 - looks a semi mature experienced (VFL) player with great skills. Promoted to the Hawks senior list and went straight onto NM senior list after being traded, you would certainly expect him to get games this year, watch and see when. Should get a run in the nab cup, not a lot of preseason news around about him, but i am led to believe he has enjoyed a full pre season. His age experience and abilities should see him debut in AFL footy this year.

Mid Priced Player Rating (DEF) 7.5/10 - ok i would rate dempsey higher, he has the ability to play very well, is creative and as such was due in 2011 for more time on the wing, definitely a rebounding defender so good for DT purposes. Did an ACL round 4 last season so has had a full year off footy but has recovered and had a partial preseason in which all reports say he is almost back to full training and will be good to go round 1. slight risk of re injury but hardly one to avoid as injury prone. Priced amazingly well, should average at least 70 if fully fit, his limited preseason is the only downside, that and other mid priced defenders we are all looking at. Watch NAB CUP if at anything near his best possibly get on him.

Mid Priced Player Rating (FWD) 7/10 - good rating he was a rising star nominee and he is VERY cheap he is also very capable and while not listed as a standout he is over his injury suffered last seasn, should be one of the best 22 and play and should be back to his improving best. I expect an average between 60 and 75, needs to stay on the ground stay fit and keep improving. Kid has talent no question, big risk however given the price, while good it is not rookie pricing...

OK so read the DODT article linked above and it says everything I could say but won't reprat.
Mid Priced Player Rating (MID) 6.5/10 - A Huge upside there may be, an excellent smokie or unique he definately is, a chance to play maybe he is maybe he isnt, on the AFL WCE preseason snapshot he is listed as the sub. As the article above says breaking down his scoring last season he did perform very well, clearing having a great preseason and clearly got a wake up call last season, would be amongst the bravest picks for 2012 with the potential to be one of the best. The challange to work out if and how much he will play, not forgetting he was a #3 OVERALL draft pick and showed great ability over 08/09.

Mid Priced Player Rating (DEF) 8/10- a high rating because in 2010 waters was a gun in DT defense and AFL for that matter, he was injury affected and inconsistent and that what he loses points for. Still at low $300K pricing he is a bargain, an uninterrupted preseason and a vote of confidence by the playing group and club to be reinstated as vice captain, all things point to a return to form and 2010 output for waters. If waters looks his best in nab cup he will be very hard to go past, the obvious competitor for the spot is Grimes. It is obvious Waters is capable of regular tons and highs of 140 but the worry his his proven ability to go low with 30 somethings.

Lat season could be considered his breakout season with a lift of 13.3 on his average, i think there is more improvement in Yarran and it won't come from raising his ceiling (last season high of 114) but from improving his consistency, while several scores in high 80"s and 90's there were also a bunch of very low scores, with the worst 21.

VIDEO: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pUEZBvGbEHM
Premium Player Rating (DEF) 7.5/10 - I rate Yarran, I think he will lift again this season and break into the high 80's as an average, but this makes him a lower tier DEF premium, and he may need to lift that average even higher to warrant a season long position on your DEF. He will improve the question is only by how much. Risky pick, not cheap but low enough to show great savings over the other premium defenders available, also a tricky bye being on round 13.

Premium Player Rating (RUCK) 9/10 - a great 2011 season for Jacobs, high score of 141 several tons and a strong finish to the season. Jacobs needs only increase his consistency and in particular perform better against the strongest opposition rucks, like WCE who he scored poorly against on both occasions last season. With the Crows easy draw in 2012 and Jacobs proven big outputs against the weaker sides he is almost guaranteed to finish amongst the top few rucks for 2012 GET ON!

A 2011 DT high of 128, showed us Dangermouses potential, unfortunately 4 or 5 shockers including a 28 and a 33 showed us his floor, he was for the most part consistent played all games and stayed fit, but failed to improve on last years performance.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gI8uVSX8Z0k
Mid Priced Player Rating (MID/FWD) 7.5/10 - up from an original lower rating of 6.5 because we just don't know what we are going to get, I think he will lift but we mostly thought that last season as well, no great articles about him having a great pre-season, but there is a lot of news on the crows midfield shaping up nicely for the season ahead. With an easy draw, an improving ruck man and midfield as well as back line i see Dangerfield lifting his output by as much as 10 to 20 ppg, but at his price he is a risky proposition in a fwd line overflowing with mid priced picks, huge upside as he is capable of a 90+ average and is cheap, but he is also capable of another year around 70.
bit harsh on patty he's gotta have more potential then a 6.5 with all the reports ive seen :(
Cheers CW,Great write ups as always champ! I have Sandi Locked as 1st ruck and am tossing up between Jacobs and Luenberger for 2nd ruck??? and then there is the 3 rookie ruck set-up which gives me a killer FWD line..... Rucks are really doing my head in atm! after reading your write up on Jacobs it seems that you are getting on him this year, True/False?
Thanks Colliwobblers. Was set with Waters in my def, just wanted some good info on him just to back up my thoughts! Thanks again!

I have Jacobs,Mummy (Giles,Stephenson) at the moment and it is firming up every day, the 3 rook ruck is SO tempting but the smartest DT heads say set and forget 2 premiums 2 rooks and i'm inclined to take thier advice.

You are correct, looking at his stats for last year tho he just had a few terrible scores and that can ruin your DT/SC year.
I so concur tho and always adjust rankings on community outrage :) so i feel a 7.5 is not too high to mislead people but a 6.5 may be too low based on the obvious potential he does have so adjusting to 7.5
Thanks for the feedback.
Great to hear someone else going with the Mummy/Jacobs combo. I thought it was too good to pass up but haven't seen many locking that pair in.

Well Firstly Jacobs in round 11 bye, so that rules out cox,burger,goldy all also round 11. Which leaves mcevoy round 13, i dont think will improve, Sandi round 12, i dont trust his body, leaving mummy round 12, i think mummy is bullet proof tough and will improve further. I think that covers the gun rucks.
good work cw 7.5 wont convince u or steer u away spot bang in the middle of make ur own mind up which is hard to do with the mid priced fwds :)
Hmmm makes me keen on Jacobs :P

yeah he looks good either him or berger
The more I think about it the more I see Hudson getting ruck time, limited as it may be. Jacobs has a soft draw and not much competition.
I have added given the interest Sam Jacob's full games stats for 2011 season, outlining my points about his high achievement against the poor sides and his potential need for improvement over the stronger sides (talking rucks)

OK so there are the DT scores last season before injury affected last game, and there are the DT records for his previous seasons. There is a grand total of NO LOVE for him in the community ahead of 2012, looking at the statistics and the games played per season, there is no reason not to be keen on this bloke for 2012. So we must look for other reasons, because the reasons will not be found in these stats.

Premium PLayer Rating (RUCK/FWD) 6/10 - OK so Roughead has ability, he was lifting and looked likely to achieve a 90+ average for 2011, in a winning side a target fwd / ruckman is going to amass DT points. However his return is questionable, in timing that is. Watch nab cup read up on his recovery training and liklihood of early games, the fear is he will be eased back into senior games and full games after all it was a very serious injury. Too risky to start unless you see great things in nab cup or hear from the club he is 100% and a starter. Great pick if he was / is fit being one of if not the only viable premium fwd/ruck DPP player of 2012.

Without listing all his stats for 2011, I will say he was very Consistent scoring a ton or near too it many times and dipping below 70 very few, until the last 6 or 7 games where he really faded badly, this could be due to fatigue or a tough run home or positional changes, but for the bulk of the season he was solid and averaged closer to 100 than his end avg of 90.
OK so there is next to no news on Suckling since the NEWS that he was the sub 2 games in a row late in the season, this can either be attributed to a sudden loss of form or a sudden onset of fatigue.
Premium Player Rating (DEF) 8/10 - should maybe be higher but he is a little unknown and we are all confused about what went on late last season. He is an elite kick a good user of the ball, can rebound off half back, take kick ins and kick to himself, all in all he is a good DT DEF, but he has some competition up back with the likes of Birchall, guera, and to a lesser extent Ellis. Watch nab cup, look out for news on his form and fitness and role in the team but until further notice he is off most DT's in favour of Birchall or anyone else due to the mysterious end to last season which was until the latter stages a brilliant season for the GUN Defender.
Love your work CW!! thanks again

In my opinion Christensen will take Ling's midfield position. But that's just me. Will be interesting to see how CW reads it.
I think bartel will play a lot more of that foward role as he ages
Hey mate loving the work here.. Very detailed!
Just would like a look at chad wingard, shannon hurn, Josh Jenkins, James Sellar, Marc Murphy if possible thanks.
After reading about some mids just wanna know where Murphy will stand, also if Hurn could step it up, heard he is fitter and been working on his endurance.
Would be greatly appreciated thanks!
Hi again Colliwobblers, Looks like you have a lot of work ahead of you with other peoples requests. But when you get a chance could you please do a run down on Ryan Griffen, and Nathan Van Berlo. I've seen a few people mention Van Berlo, so hopefully others will benefit from my request. Thanks mate.
Hey Guys, Back at work now, no more day time posting, Still got a few hours each night tho but didn't tonight, I WILL however have all these above done by tomorrow night for you all, thanks for the requests loving the work, sure teaching myself a lot about some fringe players hopefully you all as well.

His 2011, season included 4 tons, a high of 112, the season started strongly for him with all these tons in the first half, but faded very badly in the back half of the season with MOST scores under 50. Looking at the seasons past and his averages it is apparent that Chaplin is a consistent but average DT performer, probably the right price for his potential unless he can find the form of early last season and maintain it for a full 2012 season.
There is no news on his pre-season no news on his late season demise in 2011, no news at all, and I guess that no news is good news.
Mid Priced Player Rating (DEF) 6.5/10 - should be a lot higher playing in ports defense line he will see a lot of opportunity to score DT points and looking at the way he started last season over 8 games he was averaging over 90 so has the clear ability to be a DEF premium, however his back half of the season was woeful and without seeing a very impressive nab cup campaign he would be an extremely risky pick.
I much better SC player than DT player IMO, and if he can maintain a full season like the first half of last season would be a great pick at his mid price.

Premium Player Rating (MID) 9/10 - remember I don't do 10's. Reviewing last seasons stats, the easy draw he has this season does not automatically equated to higher scoring, often he scores better against the better teams. What it does indicate is the door is open with the 2x GCS and 2 x GWS for 4 games of 50+ possessions.. don't expect the GCS to be quite the bonanza it was last season however improvements have been made. Thompson is a gun he is one of the handful of Ultra Premiums, and having the round 11 bye and the great draw first half of the season he is a LOCK in Colliwobblers 2012 team.

Ok so take out the round 13 score of 2 and Bartel averaged 102.25 for the 2011 season, missed a couple of games and had a couple of shockers but had a ton of tons. Not a high ceiling but he is an elite player and due to last seasons (2) is under priced and potentially under rated.
I see Christensen taking a more permanent role in the fwd line hovering around the midfield getting some time in there but mostly playing fwd, he is too good around the goals and too inexperienced as a pure midfielder. Where as I see Bartel as a truely premium midfielder and cannot imagine him leaving the midfield for a fwd role, he just plays too well as a midfielder and is a very important part of the cats midfield, Christen may sneak in from time to time and Bartel may sneak fwd or he has done in the past but I do not see a role change for either of them other than christensen to lose the vest and cement his spot this season.

This image of Bartel and GF in Hawaii has no relevance to my review other than to say, well he must be content in his home life right?
Premium Player Rating (MID) 9/10 - Bartel gets a 9 but just, he sits maybe just under the elite premium midfielders but is capable of lifting his true average of 102 last season and joining them quite easily. The cats are desperate to keep him and he is out of contract this season so he will be playing his pants off to get a nice pay rise. I presume also he will be playing where he likes given the clubs plan to keep him happy and his plan to perform at his best this to me equals MIDFIELD. Expect a VERY big year from Bartel, would make a great smokie, a unique, will lift his average to 100+ and make the brave that pick him happy indeed. Will be close to a top 10 mid this season.
That starts to make it difficult CW!! Thanks again especially for the poolside photo. Who was the guy in the boardies?

If a strong nab cup and listed for a round 1 start this guy is likely going to be worth the extra $50K.

I'll get Zorko done for you shortly as for the ruck question, it is a matter of opinion and here is some (many) oppinions.
For my opinion, 2 (cheaper) premiums, 2 rooks - but I was and am tempted by the 1 premium 3 rooks option also.

2011 Wrap, a DT high of 131, no real shockers but a LOT of average scores leading to an average average... Another case of a much better scoring SC player than a DT player, simply doesn't rack up the possessions to be a DT premium defender this is also due to the WCE style of play and success in keeping the ball out of their own 50 last season.
http://www.afl.com.au/tabid/208/default.aspx?newsid=128052
Mid Priced Player Rating (DEF) - 7/10 listed as a half back but plays too often locking down key forwards, Waters comes back in this season and this could help or hinder Hurn'd DT output. Hurn is a VERY capable premium defender but needs to be given a rebounding free running role which involves more possessions, he is a great user of the ball and this is reflected in his higher Scoring. Has had a great preseason and will improve in 2012, if possible, it is not Hurn that concerns me but his role. Could average 85+ and would be a steal at his price but could average 70 - too.

Rookie Player Rating (RUCK) 6.5/10 - don't we all wish we KNEW if and when he will play. The guy is very capable and about AFL ready, should debut for Adelaide this season 100%. They didn't woo him by offering him another year in the Magoo's. Question is when will he play and where will he play. Booted 5 goals in a VFL match last season for the bombers so we don't mind if they stick him up fwd. Going well in the preseason watch him in the nab cup and expect him to get games early to mid early season. Higher rating if there was certainty of his role and start.

Mid Priced Player Rating (RUCK/DEF) 5/10 - very harsh but with good reason, I believe he will get senior games maybe right off the bat, but he won't be playing in the ruck he will be playing as a key defender. That much us certain and he may pinch hit / help out in defensive stoppages. The rating is also harsh due to being mid priced not a rookie, but if he goes will and looks like lining up down back for the DEE's from round 1 he is value at his price given the games and the opportunity even as a key defender he is cheap for a likely 50 -70 average if given full game time. Still the same could be said for the best rooks available down back at half his price.

Hey mate loving the work here.. Very detailed!
Just would like a look at chad wingard, shannon hurn, Josh Jenkins, James Sellar, Marc Murphy if possible thanks.
After reading about some mids just wanna know where Murphy will stand, also if Hurn could step it up, heard he is fitter and been working on his endurance.
Would be greatly appreciated thanks!

Premium Player Rating (MID) 9/10 - GUN! utter GUN, coaches assoc. award, lifted again last season with awesome results for DT and better again results for SC. Hard to find room for him in my starting side but well on the radar for an upgrade target, but that is a personal choice should average close to the 120 in DT this season and won't be beaten by but a few overall. As for my SC team he is a starter locked and loaded.

Hi again Colliwobblers, Looks like you have a lot of work ahead of you with other peoples requests. But when you get a chance could you please do a run down on Ryan Griffen, and Nathan Van Berlo.

The club's youngest-ever captain endured a difficult first season in charge, as it slumped to its worst win-loss record and parted ways with long-serving coach Neil Craig.
Like many of his teammates, van Berlo was below his best in the first half of 2011, but improved markedly in the latter part of the season, finishing second in Adelaide's best and fairest.

DT Wrap for 2011 Season = if his form were to continue you would be starting him in 2012 ! 8 scores of 100+ the highest of them being 143 BUT his last 7 scores of the season. 120 / 137/ 102 / 126 / 143 / 102. Shows us what NVB is capable of. Those were not all easy sides either or wins one was a 100 pt thrashing at the hands of the cats.
The big WORRY about NVB is the 12 scores under 90 worst of them being a 60. He needs to iron out that inconsistency and give us a run of 22 like last seasons final 8.

Premium Player Rating (MID) 8/10 - should be higher could be lower, the key with Van Berlo is to watch the role he will be playing, if playing free and loose in the midfield like he was at the end of 2011 GET ON, he will average 100+ and is cheap for that average, tho not as cheap as Barlow more reliable I think in his second year as skipper in an improving side with a far better (fresher) coach. Expect more tons and a break out "like" season from the skipper.

Ryan Griffen (WB) MID $486,500

Last Drafted By: Western Bulldogs
(http://resources2.news.com.au/images/2012/01/10/1226241/205830-ryan-griffen.jpg)
Ryan Griffen backed up his stellar 2010 season with another solid year, playing every game and finishing 3rd in the Bulldogs B&F. He finished second in kicks (341) and third in goals (24) behind full time forwards Hall and Giansiracusa. He was the Bulldogs' main attacking midfielder, leading the club for inside 50's (130) and goal assists (24).
Griffen collected 100 disposals and kicked 10 goals during a four game purple patch mid year coinciding with the Bulldogs 4 game winning streak, although his next few weeks were relatively quiet as the team struggled.
Arguably his best game was the 33 possessions and 3 goals in a crushing win over Brisbane in round 2. He also racked up 28 possessions and 2 goals in the final round win over Fremantle.
With his running bounces and evasion abilities, Griffen gains the most ground for the Bulldogs, although at a cost of lower disposal efficiency compared to elite midfielders.

Premium Player Rating (MID) 8/10 - another player that is capable of much in DT terms and sits frustratingly underneath the top echelon of elite midfielders. Priced well and given he performs significantly better when winning the keys to watch out for are not only his form nab cup but for improvements in the new bulldogs youth and the team itself, has the capability to average 110, but has to keep positive and eliminate the sub par scores from his season.

Good Call on Birchall, My friend but not so much of a smokie on his quality more his bye round will make him miss out this season to Goddard and Delidio, but for mine the best hawk in the DEF, ok here goes...
Grant Birchall (HAW) DEF $443,500
#14 Hawthorn Hawks
Age: 24yr Games: 129 Born: January 28, 1988
Height: 193cm Weight: 91kg Position: Defender
Last Drafted: Round 1, Pick #14 2005 National Draft
Last Drafted By: Hawthorn Hawks
(http://resources3.news.com.au/images/2011/04/05/1226033/750383-grant-birchall.jpg)
Birchall was one of the great improvers in 2011. From season 2006 through to season 2010 he had been a solid performer whose average was always between 70 and 79. He has also been a consistent player with his lowest amount of games played coming in his first year where he played 16 games. He has also been very consistent with his disposals where he has always been between 19 and 22 average across those years. Then in 2011 he lifted his average up to 89 and his disposals lifted up to 23.76. The bonus for his scoring was that the increase in disposals came from kicks which improved his K:H ratio which means more points for us!
During 2011 it seemed as though he took on a lot of the role that Hodgey was previously playing in the backlines for the Hawks. He was the link up man across half back and spent a bit of time across the midfield helping out too. All of this translated into higher scores for Birchall. When looking at his scores for the year, his averaged is really affected by 3 poor games of 58, 62 and 63. If you take those three out then his average bumps to 94.4. His other poorer scores were all in the 70′s. However at the upper end he had 6 hundreds and a 124 as his best. There were another 4 in the 90′s.

2011 DT Wrap, ok he was solid and consistent year after year but last season he decided he would lift, and significantly! 9 scores at 100+ the best a 129. add to that 4 scores 90+, 3 scores 80+ 4 scores in the 70's three shockers sub 70 with the worst 58. Not too bad hey? pretty consistent season, if not for the few dud games he would have been an elite premium defender, this year i am tipping him to be just that.

http://dreamteamtalk.com/2012/01/18/deck-of-dream-team-2012-grant-birchall/
Premium Player Rating (DEF) 8.5/10 - check his role in nab cup if a link up and or rebounding role is involved GET ON HIM, hard to pick over delidio(mid time) and goddard, well just cause he is goddard, with the bye he shares with them but definate upgrade target for me and for those who pick him he could be the difference between being equal with the masses and having an advantage over the masses. Will average close to 100 if he has the same role as last season as he is on fire and will improve a little more again this season.

Rookie Player Rating (FWD) - 7/10 a good rating for izzy, due to two reasons, he WILL PLAY, every game he comes up for, is fit for, he is an elite athlete and an elite competitor and he has kicked a bag or tow before. The only question is how long will it take him to develop the footy brain he needs to ever be a good afl player. I expect an average of 45 - 65 which for a guaranteed to play rookie isnt too bad, but better options exist at least at this stage they do.
Cheers CW. Still probably won't get Izzy, but could be value

Draft range: 9-18
(http://mm.afl.com.au/Portals/0/images/AFL/AFL%20K-O/Brad%20McKenzie316b.jpg)
NAB AFL Draft Combine: McKenzie's elite agility shone through at the combine, where he registered a time of 8.12s, which ranked him in the top 8 per cent of players tested.
Jason Phelan says: McKenzie's powerful and pinpoint left boot makes him one of the more sought after midfielders in this draft. His ability to pick apart a defense and deliver the ball to the advantage of his forwards is first class and he complements that with his willingness to go after the hard ball. He has some work to do on his endurance, but that will come with an AFL pre-season or two under his belt. He made his senior SANFL debut with Sturt this season and played three games.
Kevin Sheahan says: McKenzie is a classy left-footer who averaged 16.4 disposals and three tackles at the U18 championships. He is a good mark, and brings others into the game with his composure and creativity. From Marryatville HS.
In his own words: I'm a tall midfielder who can play off half-back.

Rookie Player Rating (MID) 8/10 - Gun midfielder but young and not guaranteed to be ready for afl footy, more worry-some is the way NM plays and doesn't play their rooks. Could be a great unique pick if he plays well (which he does) in nab cup and is listed as as starter round 1. But you would be brave to trust any NM rook to get regular continuous games after last season. Full marks for his skills, loses points for his JS.

A powerful all-round midfielder with an eye for goal, the Victorian has proved himself an ideal partner for Daniel Kerr in the engine room. The only bum note as Shuey set about vindicating the Eagles' patience in 2011 came in the finals, when he was too often caught with the ball. He and Kerr share many traits, but Shuey will need to adopt some of Kerr's poise, both in the September cauldron and other big games. He is, however, too good and too smart not to learn from the experience.

2011 Season DT wrap, only the 4 scores 100+ but with a high of 142 shows us his potential. A low of 45 but every other score 67 at least, so has some consistency in his game but consistently average scoring.
Few could doubt that the 2011 AFL season had a more impressive story than that of Luke Shuey. Dogged by injury and illness early in his career, 2011 provided Shuey with the platform to stake his claim as one of West Coast’s premium midfielders. His ability to locate and use the ball in stoppage situations, coupled with his ability to break tackles and kick goals, really impressed the West Coast faithful and pundits around the league. His tremendous form was recognised by both the AFL and the club, as he finished runner-up in the NAB Rising Star Award and fifth in the Club Champion Award.

Shuey is having a great pre-season winning most running drills and set to break out this season, that said it's your midfield and you want 100+ as a minimum.
Mid Priced Player Rating: (MID) 8.5/10 - 8.5 because i think he is in for a break out year if he stays fir continues to develop and has the support around him to get opportunities. I think at his price and the fact he will be doing well to break the 100 average he is not the best pick or even a viable option for the midfield, but he will be a premium midfielder this season or next but not one of the top shelf ones, and a lot needs to be achieved and go right for him to take the next step this season.

2011 season wrap = don't underrate this guy check the stats, 12 games , 7 tons , a 90 , and a couple of 80's , a 75 and an injury effected (2). So take away the (2) you have an average of 104.5.
He is a gun and will average 110+ in a much healthier and therefore better Fremantle side, especially if the many KEY players down last season are back up and running, but running around with Barlow and taking hit outs from the sandi man Mundy is in for anotehr elite year.

Recent article above outlines his health and fitness issues will miss NAB CUP, has been on a modified programme and at worst may miss an early season game or two.
Premium PLayer Rating (MID) 8.5/10. Not much to say, may miss a game or two making hiim an upgrade target which for most he would have been in any case given sharing his bye with Barlow, the pies and the cats. Will still hit 110+ average when he does start so still rates highly as the premium he is.

Season 2011 Wrap - Started with a bang as well all know and finished with a flop. That said he still managed 3 tons in hte back half of the season to go with his 6 in a row in the front half. Ok it wasn't 6 in a row it was ton-97-5 tons close enough to 7 in a row really. and another 96 to the back half of the season and what really happened was a slump in the middle. Jobe had too much on his plate and not enough help with the workload, as simple as that. Given a healthy team around him he should have a much better 2012.
Ok so another case of no news, could be good news. I can tell you a few things about the bombers and their captain. They are toughening up and bulking up, working on endurance but more so strength in a bid to better run games out. At his ripe old age Watson is not the focus for this kind of work but he is set to be the beneficiary with tougher and fitter players around him he is set to see more ball, easier ball and last out the season better. I expect a better 2012 with the slump eliminated to a great extent leading to an increased average of between 5 and 15 points, tho 15 is a stretch at that already high level.
Premium Player Rating 8.5/10 - only reason not a 9 like the other elite midfielders I have researched is the "fear factor" of last seasons slump. But the lower price just about makes up for that, pick him with confidence.
Great job so far cw

Mid Priced Player Rating (FWD) 6/10 - I would not read too much into the additional midfield time he may be developed as a pinch hitter so to speak who can assist in the mid field but there are and always will be better options. As for his potential as a FWD it is strong, especially with the return of Brown as a target Banfield will with his increased fitness stand to gain the most in a crumbing role, he will also play up the ground or down should i say, closer to the midfield gaining possessions as they use his added fitness to create pressure and drive into the fwd line. If he can improve his kicking accuracy and increase his goals (missed a lot in 2011). A risky proposition but not a big risk given the bargain price and with his increased fitness the return of brown and the improvement in Brisbane expected would be a strong mid priced pick but not the best still.

(http://cms.sydneyswans.com.au/Portals/0/Sydney%20Swans%20Images/Reidreel.jpg)
The youngster showed his enormous potential in 2011 and it was no surprise the Swans signed him to a new five-year deal at the end of the season.
Held down centre half-forward all season, sitting out just one game in round 24 due to calf tightness.
Has terrific hands and led Sydney with 45 contested marks.
Needs to add bulk to his frame and improve on a return of 22.26 in front of goal but has all the hallmarks of a future star.

Mid Priced Player Rating: (FWD) 5.5/10 - ok harsh sure, it takes a key forward awhile to develop so while reid is coming along niceley and the club are wrapped with him a DT owner would not be happy last season or again this season, I predict a significant lift in his average even to the 70's is possible, but i would not have him even at $100K less. You can do better and with the likes of Brown and Christensen and even porps and windy around about that price give or take there are far better options, is he a player of the future tho, you bet he is.

Rookie PLayer Rating: (MID/FWD) 7/10 - OK absolute potential gun 100%, not sure on his JS both being at the dockers and being "slight of frame". Takes a good grab, ok thats well documented but regularly kicked bags of 4 and 5 goals in a crap team last season, is a half forward flanker who finds the footy and finds the goals. Watch his nab cup and for news on a role in the side for him and signs he is ready for the big league, may be one too watch as a mid season upgrade target, but still dubious on a spot for him in the dockers line up. But they didn't take him at 20 for nothing....

Yes Jacobs has been done can't remember what page, but with his easy draw he is my round 11 bye lock, it was him or burger and Jacobs really came of age last season and put a very good season together as the year went on. This year he will be better and so is his draw so 1 + 1 = 2 (and he'll probably break his bl00dy toe :) ) speaking of toes...

These are the things that sould right and that we hope are right because not many rucks have the cieling of Sandi. 5 tons a high of 129, add 5 90+ , 2 70+ and the injury effected 47, and you can pretty much bank on a 100-110 average from Sandi free of injury.

Premium Player Rating (RUCK) 9/10 - only question you need ask about Sandi this season is , is he fit and healthy? the two articles above say he is, the nab cup will prove it further. He had a bad run with his toe last season but the three seasons before he played almost every game so the speculation on his health may be overstated. the liklihood of any ruckman other than Cox outscoring him is almost inconceivable, I will start jacobs on price and mummy is keeping sandi's seat warm becasue if sandi comes up he will take the otehr starting spot on my field with cox missing out to jacobs on sheer price.

Mid Priced Player Rating FWD/MID 6/10 - my personal oppinion, he is a mid priced player to start with, but more like high 300K to low 400K, so all going well he could be a bargain and a great cash cow, he could go down with injury AGAIN as he regularly has, or he could lift and be a keeper as he has hinted at becoming in the past, looks good to go for 2012 but watch very closely in nabcup before jumping on. Higher rating would have applied but the risk is SIGNIFICANT.

Mid Priced Player Rating (DEF/MID) 7/10 - the kid is a gun no question hit 90 in a game last season will likely get more opportunities and improve again this season. Well priced but risky as a rookie at a mid price, have to watch form in nabcup and or watch him as he hits the bubble early season but he is one to keep an eye on, WILL be a STAR.

2011 DT Wrap - 4 tons only this season the highest a noteable 151, did add a few 90's and a bag of 80's to put in an overall above average DT season, but definately not elite, More a SC player as his averages above for 2011 reflect.

Premium Player Rating (FWD) 8/10 - could be higher but Rioli is both in danger of breaking out this season as he was last season, but he is in just as much danger of breaking hamstrings this season as he did last season. The issues surrounding picking Rioli encompass both the role he gets played in, watch nabcup, and whether or not his new running style and great preseason see him keep fit for a full season, almost a SC lock and definately one to watch for DT.

A Scott Pendlebury VS Dane Swan? And your verdict on who you would pick ;)
Well you might have to wait and see if the boys on DTTalk whip one up in thier Vs series.
A few points to answer your request tho.
1. Pendles = SC / Swan = DT.
2. Swan has been dropped from the leadership group which will not effect him at all where as Pendles has been promoted to it which may effect him a little, I would take it as a minor plus to both of them.
3. Increased midfield time for Sidebottom, may efffect Pendles scoring a tiny bit, it will not effect Swans however.
4. I think Swan is as good as he gets, as good as anyone gets, Pendles may have a little bit of improvement left in him.
Verdict. Start Swan he is the best until proven otherwise, has more captain scores in him. Upgrade to Pendles he will improve and any improvement locks him in the top 5 midfielders, potentially he could be this years Swan. If Gaj is not that is ...

Age: 18yr 3mth Games: 0 Born: October 23, 1993
Height: 177cm Weight: 79kg Position: Forward

Last Drafted By: Geelong Cats
(http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3307/5800061842_63a412f968.jpg)
Explosive small forward (2.96 seconds for 20m sprint) who is dynamic around goal and overhead for his size. Former basketballer and state cricketer at Under 17 level for SA.
Outlook
A small forward from Glenelg, McCarthy could be another late draft gem for the Cats. Has genuine pace, is a quality finisher and is good overhead for his size. Represented South Australia in cricket at under-17 level and was an excellent basketballer.
SEASON BY SEASON HIGHLIGHTS
2011
Played 16 games and kicked 20 goals in SANFL U18 for Glenelg
Helped Bays to U18 SANFL GF. Kicked w goals in GF but went down to Port Adelaide
2010
Played seven SANFL U18 games, kicking three goals
Pick 66: Lincoln McCarthy, Glenelg/Bordertown
Wells says: "We think he'll be able to play in the midfield, so we don't think he's just a speedy small forward. He's also got a long way to go with his development, but we're happy to have him on board. We hope he comes to our club and learns from the guys how to be an AFL player. He's got a good attitude towards the defensive part of the game in the forward line."
http://www.geelongadvertiser.com.au/article/2011/11/28/293931_gfc.html
Rookie Player Rating (FWD) 6/10 - I'm rating him higher than I could due to his ability which is obvious and also his fit in the cats side, however he is losing a lot for being talked up as a "development project" type player, this is likely due to his inexperience (compared to some) and his run of recent injury. Watch him in nabcup if he gets a run but hard to start him given the comments out of the cattery thus far, he is on the senior list however so could be well spotted F.A.R.K

Sorry Bud I was getting to that Not much fear of the montagna unique been stolen by TOO many, I got on ROK late last season and was happy for it but he is another unique not likely to attract TOO many takers.
Mainly due to trivial reasons like Montagna had an average year in 2011 by his standards and Lenny is back and what does that mean?
As for ROK the Goodes gets picked first factor rules him out of most sides.

Rookie Player Rating (FWD/MID) 6.5/10 - lowest rating for any high draft pick this season, reason being he looks unready for AFL footy and while he has ability and potential i cannot see him getting a LOT of games, whether he proves me wrong or not is to be shown, think given the firepower in the MIDS for GWS he will get a run in the FWD line and I don't think it will be a major role but he could step up when given the opportunity and I think he will get the opportunity just not sure when or for how long.

2011 DT Wrap - Played every game, high of 110 his only ton, few 90's couple of 30 somethings and a whole lot in the middle. 3rd year breakout rule passed Hill over and we wonder if he will break out in his 4th year....

Mid Priced Player Rating (MID) 8/10 - Great request, excellent smokie, you be brave to pick him but I think this will be Hill's BO year, he has bulked up see image above, he is fitter and stronger and these are the three things he needed to achieve to break his tage he attracted last season and will again this season. Anotehr big plus for him this season is the return of Barlow and Mundy to full fitness and to a lesser extent broughton, these three guys will also draw tags and potentially allow Hill more space to accumulate. Hill was a high draft pick he has talent he is still young and this is the first year we have seen him bulked up, expect a 15 point increase in average, may not hit premium keeper status in 2012 but bet on him lifting significantly, and bet on FREO being high up in the 8 if these pieces keep falling into place for them.
Nice pick-up on Hill. Looks pretty big so his abililty to deal with taggers (will he have to with mundy and barlow fully fit?) will dramatically improve.
Not for me though, can't have too many Dockers :P

The Swans have got themselves a contested ball, clearance specialist in Tom Mitchell. The hard-at-it onballer has battled injury at times this season, but he was among WA's best when he came into the team late in the national under-18 carnival. His ability to win the ball and distribute it efficiently by hand is outstanding and he is also a long kick off his left boot. He returned to play colts footy for Claremont late in the season and amassed 45 possessions in his first game back from an injury layoff.

2011 DT Season Wrap - played every game, 10 tons with a high of 119, 3 90+, 5 80+, 4 shockers (for him) between 50 and 70. Strong season again and no one is surprised again.
http://www.sydneyswans.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/7106/newsid/124194/default.aspx
Premium Player Rating (FWD/MID) 8.5/10 - Can he learn to kick straight? add a significant number of points to that average if he can. Also needs to eliminate those few shocking games which are a result of the less exciting way the swans "used to" play footy, with the changes last season the team improved and will again this year, i expect a bit (not a lot) better from ROK this season, but if he pulls a cloke and finds his radar on goal he could be a lot better and that would be the pick of the year and indeed ELE a great unique, given the cats, the pies, the bombers sharing that round 12 bye ROK will remain unique even given his slear potential to remain premium and lift to elite.
Thanks Colli, awesome read. Maybe hop on this train before it leaves the station.
One of my fav non-eagles and a nice scoring record. I like!
But with age, will we get more forward time? I'm not sure, will look for some pointers as to his role NAB. Brilliant again Colli!

2011 DT Wrap - played almost every game, 9 tons, high of 151, throw in 3 scores of 99 and another 90, and a bunch of garbage by his standards and this is what has 90% of coaches writing him off for 2012. Truth is only 3 of his scores were total garbage being under 60 and if he can eliminate those and add his usual extra 6 or 7 tons to the 9 he is back where you need him to be.

Player Name K H D M HO T FF FA G B DT
13 Leigh Montagna 13 3 16 4 0 3 0 1 1 0 72
Premium Player Rating (MID) 8.5/10 - Not sure why not 9, only go off his drop in scoring last season, this is not to say he will not increase to his 2009/10 averages of around 115. Lenny being back will help montagna that much is clear and also nroo in form will straigten him up and give hiim a target, i expect him to get back to his best this season but i am not counting on it enough to pick him, had him last season all year and it was a rollercoaster ride. 2012 should be better.
Thanks Colli!
That looks great, some good numbers there. Surely he'll be better under a fast-paced, high possesion Scott Watters game plan. Also with the skipper back in form (hopefully) and the spiritual captain in Hayes up and about maybe.... just maybe he can lift his average 17 points back up to that 115.
I'll admit I have never had him in my entire DT career but just maybe this year. Only reason I'd look elsewhere apart from the fact he is a bad bloke (bumping Curnow's shoulder after his injury) is due to his round 13 bye which he shares with DT guns Ablett and M. Murphy. Both of which are in my midfield.
Oh well, something to sleep on. Thanks CW, great work tonight ;D

Mid Priced Player Rating (RUCK) 8/10 - It takes young rucks a while to develop and break out generaly 5 years instead of 3 which is the "most common" BO year for other players. This won't be the case for Smith as he came so far in his first yaer, will he go backwards, no, will he go forwards? yes, by how much?? who knows, i think 85 for the season at a maximum but he could show up in nabcup big and strong and prove us all wrong scoring low to mid 90's, and that would make him worth picking, but for your second ruck i recomend a cash cow like everywhere else you hdon'e have a premium, or a mid priced keeper, meaning if he cant hit the 90+ average he won't be a keeper. Pick someone who will be, pick a cash cow to upgrade from, or pick a second premium. Next year in my oppinion will be Smiths year. Still as I said there is a good change given his amazing debut year he could prove us all wrong and be the best value keeper ever in DT.
Still a standout CW !!Going beautifully. Any thoughts on Quentin Lynch ?

Mid Priced Player Rating (MID) 9/10 - Might be a stretch calling him mid priced but at his price compared to the premium midfielders he is a bargain. Flying in pre-season, fully fit, GUN LOCK no more to say, read the articles, watch the interview, and PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE keep encouraging all those coaches you hear talking him down and not having him to keep it up the less people that have him the better,
[ Just make sure you are not one of those who don't have him ! Shhhhh.... ]

Ok so there is no news on Mundy and nothing I can tell you that you don't already know. The deal is he is on or has been on a modified training program this pre season and this is not a concern in itself. He will likely play a role in nab cup and is no doubt in good shape and perfect health.
Mundy was the first of these that I read, and I've got to say that you're fired! He won't play in the NAB cup and is in serious doubt for round 1. Coming in off a limited preseason would indicate that he isn't in perfect health at all.

2011 DT Wrap, 5 tons high of 115, a few 90,s a few shockers but played every game and was largely consistant.
No real news on the Cue Stick, he is getting on and maybe past his best with the rise of Darling as a tall forward, NickNat pinch hitting in the ruck and Cox resting up forward and kennedy still being there there may be less and less opportunity for Lynch, he is however thier best tall forward extremely consistant and good in front of goal.
As a key forward, he is a very unpopular player type given the plethera of mid/fwd type players available for 2012 at not much more $. I would give him a miss purely because if he has his best year again he will average high 80's, there is no guarantee that will happen after all for a WCE FWD last year was about as good as it gets, and I feel for a few more $$ you are guaranteed 90+ averages out of a bunch of those mid/fwd players.
Mid Priced Player Rating (FWD) 7/10 - not a great ceiling, not likely to average 90. Solid, reliable, not for DT.

Saying that there is
no doubt that he is in perfect shape isn't helpful. If you don't know, then why provide that sort of information?
You should probably just save yourself some time and tell everyone to go to footywire for the stats, because your opinions and guesses aren't helping anyone.
Dont let yourself be distracted CW. No shortage of support for you out here in the FF community. Just keep your eye on the vast majority of happy customers you have.
You said Saad is a good choice. Ridiculous. He averaged 61 in the VFL, where he kicked 50 goals. How many will he kick at AFL level against far better opposition? 20? Out of his 20 games, he had less than 10 possessions 14 times. Did you even watch him in the VFL or are you just guessing again?
No need for this kind of attitude 2, calm down.
CW has done a fantastic job
Would you rather bArlow or Pendles, however?
An absolute mountain of work you've done here Colli, really like your contribution to the site, keep it up mate.
A player that i haven't heard much about is Brodie Moles, showed a lot of promise a couple of years ago and is very cheap this year. Bit unique and could be a good smokie cheers

2011 DT Wrap - not a typical year for Garry, he will do better in 2012 BET ON IT - so 12 tons, high of 175, 4 90+ , 3 80+ and a 23 we shouldn't even count, missed a couple of games came into the season a little underdone, played with a new bunch and still had a ripper year by premium standards.

Premium PLayer Rating (MID) 9.9/10 - equal to Swanny maybe better in 2012, better prepared for the season himself and within the team he is now in. Team improving, easy draw particularly in first half, start without him at your peril. LOCK - was he ever not.

After finally breaking into the senior side in 2010, the flanker-midfielder’s 2011 season was cut short by a shoulder injury after only four games. Of those, his 12 disposals, two goals and four tackles against Sydney in round seven was a standout. Has speed to burn and neat disposal by foot.

Rookie Player Rating (MID) 5/10 - high price for a rookie which is what you would be picking him as, he is over the injury and back to training accorfding to the latest doggies news but still has to deal with the upgraded rookies from last season that replaced him and shone. May step straight back into the best 22 or near to it, but may not or may cop the vest. Too hard to say for me at this point and too risky at the price but tons of talent and if he goes well in nab cup if he is there and looks to be in the best 22 could be a good pick... too much risk for me.

*NOTE: This score was achieved as the #1 ruck throughout the game, not only rucking but being around the stopages not stuck up forward as a tall target in the rain - just keep in mind...
Mid Priced Player Rating (RUCK) 7.5/10 - Has found his way into and back out of my team time and time again. The good news for HMac hopeful owners this season can be found in the last article I have attached. We need to see what happens in the NAB CUP, listen closely and watch closely for signs of scotts plans for him for the year and how well he can score carrying out those plans. Could be the bargain elite ruck of the year or the wasted trade of the year. So hard to say at this point, but he is the best (or close to) #2 ruckman in the comp and his potential cannot be ignored for the low cost, but not can his potential lack of JS and or DT scoring potential given his potential time up forward.

First post on this forum, so go easy !
First and foremost, i'm relatively new to the AFL game. I played in 09/10 (badly, just didn't get it) again last year, where I did a bit better, but tried something a bit different and it basically took me a load of trades to put right.
This year i'm hoping to be a little more competitive and have been doing a bit of research and of course I managed to find this thread. I must say Colli, this is one of the finest threads i've ever seen on an internet message forum. Absolute top work and invaluable to an inexperienced player like myself.
I'd like your opinions on the following please:
Michael Doughty
Paul Duffield
and just to be cheeky, Shaun Burgoyne and David Hale too ! It's this 'mid-range' that's causing me the most problems.
Zorko?
Pfeiffer?
Treloar?

In his second season, Rohan played the opening four games of 2011 before injuries curtailed his progress.
He missed the next 15 matches with knee and hamstring trouble, before returning late in the season and reminding everyone of his gifts.
Easily capable of running out of defence or taking a mark in the forward 50m, Rohan is one of the quickest players on the Swans’ list and a key to their future prospects.
Has targeted a spot on the wing this season.

Mid Priced Player Rating (FWD): 7.5/10 - pick #6 which is cursed imo. kid has great skills and looks pretty fit and much stronger this pre-season, if he plays well in nab cup he will be a good pick up at his price, competes with a lot of other low mid priced options and will be a unique pick.

First post on this forum, so go easy !
First and foremost, i'm relatively new to the AFL game. I played in 09/10 (badly, just didn't get it) again last year, where I did a bit better, but tried something a bit different and it basically took me a load of trades to put right.
This year i'm hoping to be a little more competitive and have been doing a bit of research and of course I managed to find this thread. I must say Colli, this is one of the finest threads i've ever seen on an internet message forum. Absolute top work and invaluable to an inexperienced player like myself.
I'd like your opinions on the following please:
Michael Doughty
Paul Duffield
and just to be cheeky, Shaun Burgoyne and David Hale too ! It's this 'mid-range' that's causing me the most problems.
First of all good on you and thanks for the nice comments, tons of top class helpful people on this site. you want to know anything or get opinions on your team and the answers and advice will flow (and 90% possitive and constructive)........ OK

In 2011 he had a high of 105 his only ton in DT had a handfull in SC and was much higher scoring and more consistant in SC, as a DT player he had far too many scores between 50 and 70 (most of his scores were).
http://www.afl.com.au/tabid/208/default.aspx?newsid=122979
Apart from the team improving I cant see him improving a lot personnaly but he does have a ridiculously easy draw for 2012.
Premium Player Rating (DEF) 6.5/10 - cost you almost $400k but wont earn you the top scores / avg you neeed from your DT defender premiums. For SC on the other hand this is one of those guys that is good for one not for the other, 8.5/10 SC. uses the ball well and easy draw. Either way he is gettin on and a the only or most experienced defender he will get the shut down roles which are not fantasy friendly so there WILL be those low scores on and off.

2011 Wrap - a good year to look at him as he is discounted due to his less than average duffield year last season. Had a couple of tons including his high of 120 a few 90+ and the rest was all over the place average... what happened?
Premium Player Rating (DEF) 6/10 - I don't see him getting back to the top of his game and averaging high 80's again, he is capable of much but too often achieves little instead. Don't like the role he plays, don't like the inconsistancy, not sure how he will be used this season tho and everything may change drastically for better or for worse, would not lock him in until you know a lot more than i do, no news on him for you no advice either, sit on the fence watch nabcup and peek over the freo fence to try get an idea of his 2012 role and value. Is capable and is cheap.
Thanks for Brodie Moles, One more player if you don't mind Colli is Issac Smith.
He's one of those Kids that screams DT, I was lucky enough to jump on him last year after his first price rise and was reward quiet nicely on a few occasion. Has the rare ability to score 60+ in a quarter (if he was a forward this year like last i would be on, one that could to a Redden/Rockliff)
colli it would be great if you could do Bachar Houli for me. Thanks

Rookie Player Rating (FWD/MID) 8.5/10 - Another AFL ready rookie, this one is rookie listed and that would have rated him between 5 and 7 EXCEPT Port have a veteran in cassisi and they now also have a LTI listed player added to the list earlier this week, Port went looking for strong bodies players and this is who they found, they drafted him with the intent to play him straight away and now there is the LTI as well as the vet i expect him upgraded and playing in round 1 and I cant wait to see him go, looks like a ready made port midfielder and a bulldozer to boot. Once promoted another LOCK. Tho will not hit the elite level ever i think, but we are not picking him now for that.

Adam Treloar shares his birth date with team mate Dylan Shiel. Like Shiel, Treloar is an exciting young prospect for the club and is a silky‐skilled right‐footed creative and running player who can fulfil a variety of positions.
Standing at 183cm, he was the fifth 17 year old signed by GWS under the Club's list concessions.
At the 2009 NAB Under‐16 Championships he averaged an elite 21 disposals, eight handball‐receives and 11 contested possessions per match and then debuted to play six matches with Dandenong at TAC Cup level including the Grand Final.
In 2010 he played a further eight matches for the Stingrays where his averages of 22 disposals and 10 contested possessions were both elite while at the 2010 NAB Under‐18 Championships he played four of five matches to average 18 disposals and eight contested possessions.

Rookie Player Rating (FWD/MID) 8/10 - In sheeds best 21 so he will be playing this season from the start, not afl ready but the GWS rooks have to play and he is a skilled young player. Will start in my forward line if hampton doesnt steel his spot. Safe solid pick.

Mid Priced Player Rating (MID) 7/10 - such a shame he is listed as a midfielder, but after all that is what he is and will be, if not this season then next season, according to the club that is. He is listed as having had a great pre season, was one of the BOG in the practice ic game. He is touted for midfield time and said to be likely to play a larger role and improve significantly, as a FWD/MID which he should be he would be as much a lock as sidebottom, zaka,martin and the like, as a pure mid he loses a couple of points /10 and is possibly unpickable for the fact he will still play mostly in the fwd line and cannot achieve midfield keeper status, not this season anyway. may prove me wrong, is a gun, but skill is not enough for an elite midfielder experience and footy smarts have to be developed.
I was wondering about Luke Hodge... Not given any thought really, is a great leader and had a couple of good DT seasons, how do you reckon he's going to go? Maybe a predicted average?

2011 Wrap: 6 tons last season with a high of 127. A few shockers but overall a very consistant year. Just a slight lift on other season Houli has always been about this good, a bit more of a lift and he really starts to become DT relevant.

http://www.afl.com.au/tabid/208/default.aspx?newsid=128290
Premium Player Rating (DEF) 8/10 - limited choices for 90+ average defenders down back and Hoili will come VERY VERY close to joining that group this season. There are nothing but upsides to him based on his preseason form his strength and fitness adn his great 2011 season. There are only a couple of negatives and doubts around his DT/SC scoring for 2012 and ability to BE CHOSEN. He shares a round 13 bye with Scotland, Goddard, Delidio, Birchall, Suckling, Carrazo, Fisher. That is the first "hard part" now that just leaves the question of how the guaranteed appearances of Morris and Ellis will effect his scoring. We know Delidio is headed for the midfield , we also need to make sure Houli takes his running half back role rather than a lockdown role. Heading for elite DT status, pity about the bye and a couple of questions to be asked and answered before selection.

I am not experienced enough or qualified enough to give you predicted averages but Hodgey should go for between 95 and 110
The assistant coach and I am sure a LOT of "experts" out there would/are leaning towards the 95 end of that scale.

2011 Wrap: 11 tons with a high of 154, 5 of those tone over 120. a few shockers were the problem. This is why I have him capable of up to 110, unless he falls over he is an elite midfielder, end of story.
Premium Player Rating (MID) 8/10 - still an elite player but I think past his prime in DT terms, still capable of pumping out huge scores but his inconsistancy last year was unsettling. A risky pick, better option available in particular Mitchell if you want to talk hawks.
Here we go again CW!!
Scott Pendlebury and Joel Selwood, not sure who to make my 3rd mid of these guys. Taking price into account. Thanks
Selwood definitely taking price into account. Pendles has peaked (for the next year or two), while selwood is like 6 points underpriced. Pendles has those GWS speculations etc. while Selwood was just captained.
Soz for hijacking the thread again cwob :P
Thanks Zip.
Pendles may be proving a point to Bucks (that he is worth holding onto) or equally could be looking to destroy this year so he is raking in bigger dollars for GWS.
Selwood is insanley under-priced BUT will taking the captaincy mean he has to put the team first and therefore end up sacrificing some points??
+'s and -'s for both. Something that helps Selwood is that he isn't playing for the same team as Swan therefore giving me a better variety of Skipper options. I.e when C'Wood play Hawks )and 120+'s will be tough to come by the Cats might play GWS at Skilled therefore making Selly a better pick...
Thanks for Doughty and Duffield, Colli. I suspected that they wouldn't be rated that highly as nobody seems to be talking about them! So, it's good to get a conclusive opinion. I'm not picking them !
I'd like a rating too on Hayle and Burgoyne please, just to put me out of my indecisive misery !

No problem Zip quality advice and oppionions are more than welcome and any help along the way :)
I agree with you and then LE comments, i don't think pendles has much to prove given his performance last season I think he qualifies for top dollar regardless, but the new free agent rules do mean super seasons for out of contract players(at the end of the season).
Still to think they could play harder but don't when staying in form and performing IS and ALWAYS has been the only thing that keeps these guys in a job and determines future salaries makes me wonder how much harder they can play than they already do.
There are some who i'm sure we all think could lift with motivation, i'm not sure pendles can given his current level is so high.
Taking price into consideration Selwood is probablt the right pick, pendles will outscore him but not by much, my only concern with selwood is the captaincy but that shouldnt change his game style, i reckon it would be set in stone.
both winning team pies have a tougher draw both teams have a youngster coming in to sneak mid time (sidebottom/christensen), Selwood is cheaper i think than pendles is better.
So Selwood :) what Zip said, as usual :)

Rookie Player Rating (MID) 8/10 - only question is his hamstring, and how well the bombers have got him fit and strengthened him up for the main gaw.. On skills and abilities this guy would have gone top 5 in the draft but his injuries let him slide down the pecking order. If fit he will play and if he plays he will be a gun, will he play much early? will re get injured again? will he cop a lot of vests? these are the scary questions nabcup appearances will help with the decision to have him or not but i still rate him an 8 as he is a dead set gun with great JS if fit.

Mid Priced Player Rating (FWD) 6.5/10 - like the guy and he has a LOT of potential, the worrying thing for me is his game time, vest proneness and JS competing with Didak and Krakuer and recruits and a couple of otehrs for game time. Watch the video of his bag against the bombers and you get an idea of how good he can and will be, but for 2012 i just worry a LOT about his place in the run on side week to week. Pass
Thanks for Jelwood vs Pendles CW. Jelwood is in for now.
WTF is with the Elliot pic?
Got a big head. Or is it just me. :P

Jarrad Redden, possible pick with injuries to other port ruckman.

Thanks for Doughty and Duffield, Colli. I suspected that they wouldn't be rated that highly as nobody seems to be talking about them! So, it's good to get a conclusive opinion. I'm not picking them !
I'd like a rating too on Hayle and Burgoyne please, just to put me out of my indecisive misery !
Hayle? you mean the Hawks ruckman?

2011 DT Wrap - nothing to say, simply wasn't himself - aweful year only 1 ton in the home and away season and a TON of average scores.
There is no relevant news on Shaun, however I did look at a video on the hawks website of him training and he looks fit and healthy for what thats worth.
Mid Priced Player Rating (DEF) 6/10- ok don't take this rating too seriously as he could come out and be the best pick you ever had, could average 90. I don't rate him at all, didn't rate him when he was good and after last season i don't think he is even bad good anymore? make sense? Too old, too many better players in the Hawks side, he will get games but he shouldn't smith poops suckling savage, so many gun young hawks should play instead and SO SO many better defenders and midfielders in the hawks lineup. PASS
Please comment and or correct this rating or add relevent helpful information on Burgoyne if you have it as for the first time in my MANY MANY write ups i feel biased as I just don't rate him.

Mid Priced Player Rating (RUCK/FWD) 6/10 - looking like having good JS and may improve on last season, however he may not making him not worth the punt. There is competition in the Hawks for line for the three talls and even if they all play with Buddy and rioli running around their possessions and opportunities may be limited. Pass for me.

2011 Wrap - great season 7 tons 4 over 120 high of over 140. couple of average scores dragging his average down to 91.5 but a fairly consistant year, needs to behave himself and avoid suspension as was not able to do this in 2011.
Not much out there in the way of news and no info really we don't already know.
Premium Player Rating (RUCK) 8.5/10 - a rising star in DT already there in SC. Should average high 90 this season, need him to watch himself and not get suspended again for rough silly conduct but that is his only downside, a rugges hard at it ruckman who is prolific and effiecient. Safe option for a #1 or #2 ruck.
LOCKED IN. Needs to sstop sling tackling though :P

Rookie Player Rating (FWD) 7/10 - should play early and play well, afl ready and tough and big and strong and tall, but may be a key position forward, may lead up the ground take a lot of marks and kick a few bags, guaranteed to tackle like a machine around the stoppages too. Still not the most favoured DT position player but one to watch as he should get games and is ready to go, has had a full preseason so lets see.

2011 DT Wrap: 15 tons in 20 games, his last 11 games of the season, ALL TONS, high of 151, 3 x 90+ one 80 and a lowly 59. Brilliant season and finished at a million miles an hour and all in a poor performing side. 2012 will see it more closely described as a rapidly improving side, Brown back and in form gives the mids a target and straightens them up, a lot of quality new kids coming in a great ruckman and with a healthy backline this season I expect 120+ from Rocky.

Premium Player Rating (MID) 9.2/10 - I don't know why the .2 but lets just say becasue he is above 9. In the ELITE premium midfield category and will average 120+ this season all going well. An absolute gun, club b&f, great preseason and trip to arizona, better team, more seasoned himself. Just plus plus plus, if you don't prefer Redden or haven't gone Thompson for the ease of his draw you can go ahead and LOCK Rockliff he isn't going to let anyone down in 2012, heck maybe you can lock any two of those 3.
Currently gone with Selwood over Rocky but it's 50/50 atm. I think Rocky will find a way in before round 1.

Season 2011 Wrap - Started with a bang as well all know and finished with a flop. That said he still managed 3 tons in hte back half of the season to go with his 6 in a row in the front half. Ok it wasn't 6 in a row it was ton-97-5 tons close enough to 7 in a row really. and another 96 to the back half of the season and what really happened was a slump in the middle. Jobe had too much on his plate and not enough help with the workload, as simple as that. Given a healthy team around him he should have a much better 2012.
Ok so another case of no news, could be good news. I can tell you a few things about the bombers and their captain. They are toughening up and bulking up, working on endurance but more so strength in a bid to better run games out. At his ripe old age Watson is not the focus for this kind of work but he is set to be the beneficiary with tougher and fitter players around him he is set to see more ball, easier ball and last out the season better. I expect a better 2012 with the slump eliminated to a great extent leading to an increased average of between 5 and 15 points, tho 15 is a stretch at that already high level.
Premium Player Rating 8.5/10 - only reason not a 9 like the other elite midfielders I have researched is the "fear factor" of last seasons slump. But the lower price just about makes up for that, pick him with confidence.
mate watson didnt suffer a "slump" he got injured twice so he got bad scores the games he got injured and the comeback games also gave not great scores if he doesnt get injured this year he could be a top 5 player in the comp easy
ok so your a bombers fan :) but fair point slump hump bump, wahtever, the injury caused his DT output to slump.
I'll stand corrected and he will come close to top 5? more likely top 10, but we will see. I don't think ANYONE missed the impressive output we saw right off the bat last season could be a good unique being on that round 12 bye not many will have him before round 13.
He might deserve a 9 is that what your saying or just want me to retract slump ? :)
Hey Colli, just wondering if your rating of Jack Grimes has changed given his captaincy?
Cheers mate :)

Hey Colli, just wondering if your rating of Jack Grimes has changed given his captaincy?
Cheers mate :)
No Mate, it doesn't really other than looking at my write up now maybe I should have said skill/ability 9/10 instead of 8/10. He is a very good player.
The captaincy (co) and i love both these players i would love to pick tregove too breakout year IMO another GUN! but maybe not for 2012.
Oh sorry back to Grimes, if anything the co-captaincy means that he looks to be in great health and the club / playing group BELIEVE he will be over his injury run.
It doesnt change anything he couldnt have gotten much better as a player, it just MIGHT change his liklihood of being good for a full season (obviously being captain in itself doesn't change that) but the confidence of players coaches and club to elect him captain might hint at his health and fitness.
Make sense. In any case if he wasn't the number 1 pick for your mid priced defender he probably should be now, I have conca, anyone got $60K they can lend me till mid season, I'm good for it honest.... ;)

Rookie Player Rating (FWD) 6/10 - what a mystery this guy is and i wonder if anyone else can shed some light on why as a mature age recruit (thats why the higher price) , that the hawks were chasing for the draft pick, he slipped right through the entire draft unpicked, just to then be called to go to the Dee's and "try out", which led to him being takn at 6 in the rookie draft by the dee's. Well he looks like a player, sure he is a key forward who can halp out in the ruck, and the Dee's articles mention using him down back, which makes him LESS attractive, no goals to boost DT scored down back. So he looks a solid player anyway, still has a way to go but all rookies do, But needs to be promoted off the rookie list (Green is the Dee's only veteran) and they have 3 players who debut last year including Evans & nicolsen, then there is couch and magner on the rookie list also. I am not sure trherefore he will see an AFL game all year this season, which is strange given he was best and fairest in his club and is going to be 20 this season.... but there it is. and that is the reason for the low score. Skill - 7.5/10

Mid Priced Player Rating (FWD) 7.5/10 - 2nd year player so there is some risk of him remaining mid priced, hence the lowish rating for a clearly skilled player with a CANNON for a kick. Love to watch him play and the midfield will LOVE to get the ball out to him, so if not a huge year this year it will be in 2013. News is he has a knee niggle he needs to get right so he is off to arizona to get over the injury GARBAGE!!!! never trust a football club NEVER!!! - I say they are taking the 4 guys with the most potential (that arent already in peak fitness) to arizona to get them in peak fitness. Watch teams listing for round 1 if any of the 4 that went to arizona are listed CONSIDER THEM, I will be with Caddy, because if they come back and play you can be confident it will be in great form and fitness. I think if fit and picked round 1 mckenzie can get to mid 80's this season which would be great for his price but he could stay 70 something also.

Pick No.7 in the 2008,stepped straight into the squad and had major impact.Some may say he has yet to make the next step.But it was clear to see last year that he had worked on his fitness and was able to get to more contests which was a weakness in 2010.
His elite kicking is his biggest strength also has a good tackle count for a midfeilder and is able to impact the scoreboard by kicking goals.
Some say play him at HB or HF but end of the day we need the ball in his hands when we are attacking forward of center the guy is a pure mid so why try to change that.
Only real weakness is his fitness has been since he arrived at the club. Rich has worked on it each offseason and should really start racking up the numbers in 2012....Rich is my smokey for the B&F this season and the rest of the football world will be again kicking themselves that they let this kid slide in 2008.
Walk-in starter barring injury or a huge drop in form will play every game.My only problem with him I would like to see him become a little more vocal as has been talked up as future member of leadership group.

Premium Player Rating (MID) 8.5/10 - Rich is a great talent, taking a while to develop, fitter and leaner this preseason as pictures, and they all say thats what rich needed to lift to elite status. Risky pick but not a big risk, he looks the goods he has the skills and he has the right players around him. The problem is he is VERY efficient and uses the ball VERY well, so he cops the tag ahead of rocky and probably even redden, if he gets better he gets tagged more. Think he will be better this season maybe a lot better, but he will also get more attention as a result.
Come home Daniel. Come home to the EAGLES!!

With Bradd Dalziell seemingly out of contention you never know ;) Kerry isn't getting younger ;D
Thanks for the info on Jai Sheahan, Colli.
Still a bit of a mystery though :-\
Also, interesting that a 19 yo (IMO not really mature at that age) rookie is priced that high considering other rookies (e.g. Gibson, Lee, Bell, Magnar etc) are at base price. Must be because he was Pick 6?

i dont think so because it was rookie draft not afl draft, usually I THINK only the afl draft high picks are expensive not the high rookie draft picks, but VS that runs it all is making changes like porps and clark to pricing against the stansard rules to even the comp and make it more reflective of the player ability maybe this guy is that but i think even tho only 19 the price rise is due to being older than every otehr standard rook, even tho not as old as some.

After doing a little research, can I respectfully disagree?

11 / ESS / Lachlan Dalgleish / 18 / 101,800
12 / STK / Sam Dunell / 21 / $99,800
etc etc
* denotes played AFL in 2011
Your always respectful and you can definately disagree, I didn't know I was just guessing. Hence my language " i don't think so" and "usually I think".
So looks like you were spot on you do cop a higher price for being a high rookie pick also. I had overlooked that because you generally only really pay attention to those high draft picks that really cost you ala tyson patton wingard ect.
But yeah your right, i should have known because ive done research on horsley and pfeiffer and they were rookies and dearer but both older also i think.
Anyway it appears you are right, not sure if it is a hard and fast rule written anywhere but seems there is a pattern there you have discovered.
Those top 3 rookies in particular is they play i rate them through the roof too imo and this fellow of yours at #6 looks great too, just worried about how he can get promoted short of grimes breaking himslef again ::)
All good, Colli ;D
It's interesting that we've heard bugger all about Sheahan considering his high position in the Rookie draft PLUS the fact he was expected to be selected in the National Draft.
Of the 'expensive' rookies, I'm most excited about Horsley (as a replacement for Harris) and Pfeiffer (to improve Port's substandard midfield). They'd have to be close to certainties for elevation to the primary list and should have great JS if they can maintain the form that got them drafted this year.
Also, interesting little quirk that the prices of these rookies all end in 800.

Pfeiffer has been elevated - LTI list.

Pfeiffer has been elevated - LTI list.
Are you sure, rebird? I couldn't find confirmation on the PAFC website.
Only this (from Hitchcock article):
"A decision on the permanent elevation will probably be made in late March, with the club also set to wait until the lead-up to Round 1 (1 April) to confirm any cover for Hitchcock’s absence."
i havent hear confirmation yet either but i have him in my FWD line love that video of him. Looks like a machine not elite but will will acumulate and tackle and rack up possies i reckon, efficient enough looking boot on him too.

+1. He was a good enough player at Carlton, just got injured and couldn't get his mojo going again.
FYI Pfeiffer will line up in the back half this season according to Port's defensive coach.

thanks mezzoculo you know your stuff, reckon he will run off half back nicely and keep running through the middle more often than not :o
hahah okay so Pfeiffer is a fwd/mid playing in the half backline?? Sweet. I think I'll be looking to squeeze him in then ;D

#27 Fremantle Dockers
Age: 18yr 8mth Games: 0 Born: May 24, 1993
Height: 177cm Weight: 77kg Position: Midfield
Last Drafted: Round 3, Pick #58 2011 National Draft
Last Drafted By: Fremantle Dockers
Supercoach Price: $106,600
Dreamteam Price: $98,700
(http://mm.afl.com.au/Portals/0/NEALE-Lachie-246AA.jpg)
South Australian Lachie Neale is the fourth selection for Freo in the Draft.
Pick 58 - Lachie Neale - 18yrs, 177cm - Lachie has had an outstanding season. He dominated U18 footy for Glenelg, played all 5 championship games for South Australia and finished the last 7 games in Glenelgs League side having a real impact. He is an inside midfielder who can play forward and apply terrific pressure. He is tough and wins contested footy. He has an enormous workrate and desire to get the footy. His clean hands and quick handballs are elite. Lachie is an outstanding character. Lachie’s testing at the state combine was impressive across the board. His standing VJ of 73 and RVJ of 95 is elite. His 8.24 agility, 14.2 beep and 3.00 sprint are all very good times as well. Lachie averaged 31.3 disposals, 5.6 marks, 5.1 inside 50s and 6.4 clearances per game at SA U18 level.
Pick 58 Fact - Reigning Brownlow Medallist Dane Swan was selected by Collingwood at pick 58 in the 2003 National Draft.
VIDEO: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5y-hHlEntJo
Rookie Player Rating (MID) 6.5/10 - not sure about the mancrush but looked impressive at the intra club hitout, averaged 20 disposals in the sanfl, bog in teh under 18's final. Thinking he would make a good cash cow rook but not sure about opportunities at FREO? One to watch as he does seem to have skills
Ross doesn't tend to play rookies but I'd be LYON if I said he won't get a game next year! ;D
Hi Colliwobblers, really great stuff mate!
any chance you can have a look at ryan hargrave? he had an interupted 2010 season. from reports i've heard, he's had a great pre-season and was solid in the western bulldogs intra game. surely at his price he is well worth considering?
Cheers

Rookie Player Rating (DEF) 8/10 - cheep cheep like a chicken, and that rates him high, risk reduced against that cost price. a bargain for a player of his ability, almost a lock if he has a great pre-season which he has, at least as important to the bulldogs success as lake and has a spot with his name on it in the teams best. Concern is why he dropped off from 09 to 10, we know why 2011 happened as injuries ruined his season. How well he comes back what role he plays under the new coach and how long he lasts will determine his value in DT. VERY VERY tempting if he plays nab cup and plays it well at just over $230K you HAVE TO consider. great find.

Mid Priced Player Rating (MID) 8/10 - break out season looms, if he stays fit and breaks out as he is predicted to do and should do he will be a handy pick, well priced and will lift enough to be a last mid or make you a lot of money or be sideways traded to an underperforming elite. The fact is if he stays injury free chances are he will be elite by the end of 2012. Loses points for proneness to injury.
If only Hamstring Hartlett was a backmen...
Lincoln McCarthy. i heard he was injured could you comfirm that with ur profile of him. cheers cw

2011 DT Wrap: Break out season - 9 tons high of 129, 3 x 90+ , 4 x 80+ and only 2 or 2 lowish scores, it was relitively consistant, however he still needs to totally eliminate those low scores (there is no excuse for a premium mid to put out 60's and 70's), and add a few more tons to elevate to elite status. With more improvement this season and consistancy he will be elite.

Premium Player Rating (MID) 8.5/10 - expect better again from Cotchin this season, should move to the bottom of the elite category. Had hip surgery but whilst it effected his early pre season he looks to be back to full training and to take part in nab cup, if he is 100% be a great unique pick as he will continue to get better. If the team can get better with him he should see an end to low scores and a higher average for 2012.
Awesome stuff mate, and how about Ivan Maric, as he will probably be the no.1 ruckman at Richmond he could break out this year and become a great unique pick for 2012.

Ivan Maric (Richmond, from Adelaide)
DT position: Ruck
Price: $262,700
Maric struggled for senior opportunities at the Crows last year in the shadow of Sam Jacobs, who crossed from Carlton at the end of 2010. Now at Richmond, he's set to lead the Tigers' big man division of Angus Graham, Andrew Browne and the untried Tom Derickx. He's an ideal consideration for your No. 2 ruck spot given he will be play and has promised an increased level of aggression in 2012.
Has Richmond fixed its ruck problem?
The response hasn't been very subtle to the failure of Angus Graham and Andrew Browne at centre bounces and around the ground last year. Adelaide big man Ivan Maric has been drafted in, along with Jack Riewoldt cheerfully telling the media that Graham will need to pull his finger out to meet the challenge. It goes without saying that having a ruckman who could give Richmond's elite midfielders first use of the ball would be a major improvement in 2012. Maric is promising aggression. Fans would also like more marks around the ground from their towering Tigers.

Mid Priced Player Rating (RUCK) 6.5/10 - relitively unknow results this season, simply due to limited opportunities at the crows we don't really have an accurate bench mark for maric to work off, one thing is for sure he is favoured to take the #1 ruck spot at Richmond and to change that Graham will have to really impress, not likely since he hasn't to date. Maric will play every game he is fit and in form for, has taloked up his aggression ahead of the season and has the demeanour of a last chance player, expect the best from him this season, thats the only question, what is Marics best? we are soon to find out.

I expect the same drop off from Goldstein this year as we got from Cox last year when he had to share with Natinui, to spell it out NO DROP OFF AT ALL. @nd highest scoring ruckmen possibly the highest if his forms continues to trend up.

Wells says: "We think he'll be able to play in the midfield, so we don't think he's just a speedy small forward. He's also got a long way to go with his development, but we're happy to have him on board. We hope he comes to our club and learns from the guys how to be an AFL player. He's got a good attitude towards the defensive part of the game in the forward line."

The guys at DT talk have interviewed A. Swallow, and he reckons there will be sharing of the load between Goldy and HMac, I dunno if that's enough of a reason not to go with him, but I'm not
there is a LOT of talking up the "sharing" of the ruck duties at the club, i don't know why NM are going to so much effort (there are like a dozen articles on it. But HMac looked pretty good, if rusty in the nab cup games tonight and he will help out (remembering goldy was rested for the second game).
All I can say is if you had goldy and you were coach would you want ANYONE rucking any more than you needed them to instead of Goldy he smashed it last season, if it isn't broken DONT FIX IT.
Hey CW, looking at Jake Kings DT point from last night it looks like he done fairly well. Would you mind doing a bit of a write up on him please mate?

2011 wrap - nothing spectacular, very solid, very reliable, very durable, provides support up forward, played his role, not for DT.

Mid Priced Player Rating (FWD) - 7/10 - ok he looked great in the nab cup, keep in mind he is suspended in round 1. This said it is what makes King so good, his hard at it attitude and great work ethic that also get him into trouble with free kicks against, destroying his DT output. He is a hard and honest and good footballer but he is truely a defensive forward and while he may take a grab or two, it will be rare and while he can kick a goal there won't be lots, what he must do and will do is apply forward pressure, as good as he looked there are much better options for DT.
Jake King is going to "push up" into the midfield this year.

VIDEO: http://bigpondvideo.com/AFL/305368/rhys-cooyou/
Rookie Player Rating (FWD) 6/10 - rookie listed rookie, the kid has talent and was a good pick up for the giants, but suffice to say he has a lot of developting to do before he sees any regular afl footy. Has a bit of desision making to develop and a lot of body to develop, may play afl this season but more likely will get only a few games to give him the taste while spending most of his time in the NEAFL, too many options for GWS, risky pick at best, better options exist regardless of the kids apparant talent.

I haven't heard that, if you have the scoop maybe I should rate him higher? for the sake of accuracy? With Conca and Delidio going into the midfield I wonder if there is room but if you know he is and think it will increase his DT output let us know and I will raise the push up kings rating.... which is a loose guide at best IMO.

Anthony played 13 of the first 15 games in 2011 after two injury-plagues seasons, and although he had no problems winning the ball, the midfielder struggled to have an impact. He was trialled as a forward midway through the year and impressed, kicking three goals against Gold Coast in round 12.
Following the Roos’ round 16 loss to Collingwood, Anthony was dropped to the VFL, where he spent the rest of the year, with an ankle injury hampering his efforts to win a senior recall. This season looms as an important one for him.

kangaroos.com.au says:
There were high hopes for Liam Anthony upon his return from a shoulder injury, but he'd probably be disappointed with his year.
The 24 year-old didn't lose any of his ball-winning ability during his time on the sidelines with more than 20 possessions during five of the first six games.
Nevertheless, he found himself on the outer following the round seven loss against the Cats.
He was back in the side a fortnight later and proved his worth as a forward option in wins against Adelaide and the Gold Coast but his season of up's and down's continued. He was later used well as a substitute in the clash with St Kilda but after he was unable to have the same impact the following week against a rampant Collingwood, he was subsequently dropped.
An ankle injury didn't stop him pushing for a recall, but it restricted him and a decision was made to end his season early.

Mid Priced Player Rating (MID) 7/10 - his talent deserves more, his JS is a massive concern, I don't like or trust the way scott plays his players rooks or guns, there is very little certainty in that team week to week which i personally think is not a good thing. But he should have a place at half forward or on a wing, pumped out a couple of tons last season both playing forward, if north had a clue they would dump the moron that cant kick a goal from 5 meters out and lock this bloke in at half forward. A risky pick because no one knows what scott will do with his players week to week, but a proven potential gun if used right. trick price not even close to cheap
I ahve heard King will be taking on an antagonistic small forward role like Milne?

After knee soreness disrupted his pre-season, he made a slow start to the year. The inside midfielder was trialled in defence and in run-with roles, but was dropped twice in the second half of the season.
Is committed to improving his fitness and is an elite ball-handler who should start to make his mark in 2012.

kangaroos.com.au says:
Having shown plenty of positive signs in his debut year in 2010, expectations were high for Ben Cunnington.
A niggling knee-injury threatened to derail his campaign, but he returned to full training in March and it was full steam ahead.
He was back for round one, but faced plenty of challenges being tested in roles through the midfield, in defence and even as a run-with player.
Cunnington found it tough to settle at times and was omitted on several ocassions, but the ability to play in different positions will no doubt help his development in the long run.
Despite the hurdles, he continued to look more comfortable with the ball in hands and his efficiency improved immensely as the season wore on.
He played arguably his best game of the year in the final round against the Tigers, giving plenty of reason for excitement if he can get his first full pre-season under his belt.

Mid Priced Player Rating (MID) 7.5/10 - another kangaroo, i hate reviewing these guys because just like the last guy, was in and out of the side and you can never know when they will play, be rested , be dropped, i have a blanket ban on ALL north melbourne players in any form of fantasy football while scott is at the helm. This kid is extremely talented, so he should be taken at #5 in 09 his development has been slow for a high draft pick, he is in the picture for a break out season this year and looking at the nab cup he featured in both games and went ok, risky pcik but not so much at the price he is at, you really need to watch closely and get some inside north information to know he is in the best 22 and has JS, he SHOULD but you never know. Given the opportunity and a full season i predict a mini breakout and an average around 80, making him a suitable cashcow but not a keeper, I would put him in the same class as gaff with both potential, price and JS.

Jake King is going to "push up" into the midfield this year.
delicious comment there Brucey

I ahve heard King will be taking on an antagonistic small forward role like Milne?
Ele l think he takes on an antagonistic role no matter where he plays :P
Don't think he has been done yet, but sorry if I missed it.
Any chance of taking a look at Brendan Lee (Essendon mature-aged rookie).

Dodoro says: "Brendan racked up 500 possessions last season in the WAFL to finish fourth in the Sandover Medal and win East Perth's best and fairest. He has a big engine and wins a good mix of inside and outside ball. Along with Dell'Olio and Baguley, we'll think he's capable of stepping up and playing senior footy next year."

Rookie Player Rating (MID) 8/10 - gun player already, rookie listed needs to be promoted and there is fierce competition to get promoted, there are however 2 players already on teh LTI list so he has a good shot. racks up possessions, mature and strong bodied, ready to play AFL footy tomorrow and the club has said as much. If promoted and named get on him its that simple.

Mid Priced Player Rating (MID) 7/10 - I would like to rate him higher and lower :). truth is he has has a good pre season on the back of a very strong finish to 2011, played well enough in both nab cup games, high draft pick that had tons of natural ability and probably still does, but has had a horrible run with injuries and missed a lot of footy and training and developing. To think he was part of the trade for Judd you would like to think somewhere in West Coasts mindset would be a desire to get the value they invested in him. I back him to break out in the mid part of the season, i think he needs more consecutive UNSUBBED games of footy at the top level to click into gear and he will realise his potential which is high.
The big quesstion is WILL HE GET THE CHANCE ? LE you know WCE better than I but there seems to be GAFF included and the youngsters SO MUCH competition in that side. Might be an upgrade target after a slow start might break out straight away and may be a case of have him from the start or miss his boat....
I'm surprised I can't see him on the list already but can you please profile Adam Tomlinson.

Adam Tomlinson 5 1 6 2 0 1 1 0 0 1 0 34
Rookie Player Rating (FWD/DEF) 8.5/10 - JS is the only question, if he lines up for round 1 and looks likely to play every game he is a LOCK. Only risk is the sub/resting of new recruits, there are a lot of kids in the side to get games into and a few ke spots that will need to be held down by senior players. The guy is a workaholic and will just go from good to better, compared to hurley very often and impressed both in pre-season and his nab cup game. I wasnt looking at any rooks in DT pricing over $120K but I am looking at this guy and Tyson now, still don't think i'll spend the money on Tyson but think I will on this guy.

I can't believe you have done that to me LE..... Luckily I rated him 6.5 then 7 phew, would have looked stupid if they were totally different ratings, but I think I got it right both times, his JS and his potential both look to have increased post Lecras injury and post his nab cup performances. Think the update was a worthwhile excercise and obviously i have gotten better as I have gone along at digging up the information and I think the second write up sheds a lot more light on the current Masten situation.

Playing as a regular substitute in his first six games before a spell in the WAFL, the midfielder made a big impact in his debut season. That astute management from West Coast paid off later in the year, with the tough left-footer playing the last 11 games and averaging more than 22 possessions in that period to become a key ball carrier through the midfield. Has exceptional running power.

Mid Priced Player Rating (MID) 8/10 - JS JS JS - kid is brilliant no shower, thats not the concern what is the concern is the dreaded term "super sub". If he is past teh vest he is a lock if he is not he will be a disasterous pick and a trade. Same old story with him as Maten as Stevens who will get games in teh WCE midfield, do they replace Lecras with a mid or a fwd? Not much to rate him on other than JS he is a gun like most high draft picks.
* What might make a BIG difference. The new free agent rules at the end of 2012 will directly effect Gaff, his contract runs out at the end of this season, WCE are desperate to re-sign him and a lot of other clubs will be desperate to get him, he is from the east. He will play his but off for a pay rise and WCE might play him every game to make him happy. ??
90+ this year. The question is, is a 90 average good enough as a midfield mid pricer who's priced at 60?
if so, look strongly at gaff, ebert and palmer.

That IS interesting, but would they keep him as the "super sub" this year and start promising to give him full game time in 2013 or would they just start this year?
Sorry CW (embarrassed face that I don't know how to do as my smileys bar is broken...)
Gaffy looks good and I am so so anxious we could lose him.... Play him Woosh!! Thanks CW ;D

Ok There are another 100 million articles on this guy but the general idea is the following,
1. He will be an onballer inside midfielder predominately in 2012.
2. He will also be trained and used as a sheppharding player providing protection to Ablett, and likely others like Caddy and Swallow.
3. He has been added to the leadership group. The club is DEAD SET on making him successful. and keeping him playing.
Rookie Player Rating (DEF) 7/10 - ok it's a high rating for the majority of you but I am warming up to his capabilities, a few things, remember the tough jobs in defence are the perfect training for midfielders to be, conca and many other rookies were given that defence run with lock down role to teach them defence. It makes sense to turn hunts 20122 experience into a bodyguard/inside midfielder role. Look I think he can turn out an average of 60 in DT which would make him a worthwhile rookie pick, he isn't a rooky but at 140K he is priced as one. An elite athlete clueles about AFL last season, knows a bit more this season, the midfield will both suit him more and simply MUST get him more DT scores. Don't write him off, but not for me, other solid options. I feel that might be regretted tho.
The other notable point for DT players is his SC average of 60 last season.... What might that be this season.

Rookie Player Rating (FWD) 6/10 - the bulldogs need to promote him off the rookie list first, they should as they need key forward more than they need to sort out thier rucks. More than anything. No guarantee when they will or if they will which is why i don't rate jack too highly, that and the fact he will be a key fwd. Look elsewhere.

Not that I want to hijack CW's thread but I just thought I will put my opinion out there on this.
Renouf was our (hawks) number 1 and ONLY ruck for a large part of 2010, and still his average was only 64 (his career best). I cant see it lifting much higher than that tbh, for that whole season in 21 games he only had 2 scores above 80. This is why I dont see the #1 role at port helping his scores skyrocket to DT relevancy.
Note: This is not a knock on Renouf, I actually consider him to be a good (and still developing) ruckman. I merely do not think he is a strong DT player.
Well said Scrads :)

Rookie Player Rating: (MID) 7/10 - would have rated him higher he will average in the 60's at worst and the 80's in all possibility, the downside, is his JS, consistancy and length of games, if we knew he would play the first ten games complete we would lock him in, well i would. The only gamble on old mcdonald is his games and game time. pretty safe rookie pick.

By definition, we'd normally say don't go for two blokes from the same club in the same position. But if you're ever going to break that rule, this is the time. "Nic Nat", simply, has no physical peer in the AFL. When Cox sneaks forward, as is becoming more common, Naitanui has begun to assert his athletic dominance, effectively giving the Eagles another midfielder with his clearance ability. This also means that most of his possessions are contested - all of which adds up to SuperCoach royalty in the making.

Premium Player Rating (RUCK) 8.5/10 - cheap for a premium and he is a premium, will see more tiem in the ruck this season which means more time in the midfield, such athleticism that he will not be a ruck any longer than it takes to hit out then he will morph into a midfielder. If you don't have cox or burger or jacobs have natanui from the round 11 bye, is a supercoach gun but will lift to be both a dt and sc gun this season as his oportunities and responsibilities increase which they clearly will.

Mid Priced Player Rating (FWD) 7/10 - has skills in teh leadership group, has a high ceiling can score good tons and as teh mids improve so will his opportunities, with Petrenko it all comes down to consistancy, if he gets consistant chances are it will be consistant 80-90. a punt but a good one to take given the easy draw and the stronger side with an improving ruck and midfield, also the bigger fwds providing targets raise a player like Petrenkos opportunities.

Mid Priced Player Rating (RUCK) 6.5/10 - low rating taking into consideration comments from community and discussion. Doubts as to whether renouf will ever be an elite ruckman. I am not convinced that is the case it takes most ruckmen at least 5 years to break out / mature and this is going to be his 5th. Not sure he will break out this year or ever, but he is in the window and with injuries at the club (although i think lobbe will be back sooner rather than later) he will get his chance.
At the LOW price he is not a massive risk but he is a risk all the same given the potential output of giles and stephensen at less than half the cost.

he will be a star most top draft picks are, tyson looked good too, its the amount of game time and consecutive UNSUBBED games these expensive youngsters get that makes them so risky at the high prices. I'll get onto them all shortly, weekend coming :)

a) Most importantly, Broughton, Grimes and 100k, or Hargrave and 200k? The money will be used for general upgrades around the ground.
b) I can have two out of Rockliff, Boyd and Selwood to back up Swanny and Ablett. Which two? Was thinking of Rocky and Selwood, unsure though.

In 2009 at the NAB AFL Under‐16 Championships, all his averages were elite ‐ 20 disposals per match at 78% efficiency, eight handball receives, seven ground ball gets and three clearances. He also broke the lines more than any other player. For Dandenong at TAC Cup level in 2010 he played seven matches with his averages again all elite, recording 30 disposals, 10 handball receives and 12 groundball gets per match. His 13 contested possessions per match also ranked number one in the competition.

Christian Howard is on
Page 6 my friend. Colliwobblers 2012 defensive smokie. It's a light read not a lot of detail but he is a 1 season player and as per my write up not a cheap risk but a potential keeper at a ridiculous price for his skill and role in the doggies backline. It all comes down to opportunity if he gets it he will in my opinion be the pick of the season down back.

Mid Priced Player Rating: (MID) 8/10 - going high on Ebert as he has skills ability and desire, he had an ordinairy year last season with WCE but largely due to his role and lack of time in the middle. He will have both a point to prove this season and opportunity to prove it. Bet he was promised a full time role in ports midfield as a carrot to get him accross and bet he will make the most of it. VERY HARD to ignore at a lowly $300k.

Rookie Player Rating: (DEF) 8.5/10 - potential rising star winner, this kid is all the good stuff, 2nd bottom link sums it all up really well. Almost... AFL ready in a team that arguably needs him to go from the start this guy is a must, Morris is mature aged and would normally line up for you before a draft pick such as Ellis but in Ellis' case I'm not so sure, with his potential to score highly I wouldn't be put off by a backline full of Tiges I'll have Ellis, Morris, Conca and Delidio and I'll worry about it in round 11 or 12. GUN ROOK - LOCK HIM IN. JS the only issue to consider but if named in round 1 get one I say

Rookie Player Rating: (DEF) 8/10 - Solid, mature, skilled player, will slide into the tiges backline from day 1 and should stay there and thrive. AFL ready in my humble oppinion and likely the guy to get the first crack at it over Ellis due to his maturity and added physicality. May not be as silky as Ellis but will be a hard at the ball and the player and should rack up tackles and possessions, has good pace too so would not be surprised to see him attacking out of defence well and often.

Geelong - Shannon Byrnes is a two-time premiership hero at Geelong, but his 2011 campaign was ruined by a series of leg injuries and the emergence of Allen Christensen as a game-breaking small forward. Almost 28, Byrnes could only manage five matches last year after playing 23 and 22 games the previous two seasons and was unable to force his way into Geelong's finals teams (he was named as an emergency for the Grand Final). As a small forward, Byrnes must kick goals, but he has so far only managed 99 majors in 105 games. But the Cats' speedster is enjoying a flawless pre-season and will be hopeful of reclaiming his status as a first-22 player.

Mid Priced Player Rating (FWD) 6/10 - has the ability has the form coming off a great pre-season, not sure he has teh support or the opportunity to get regular senior games in 2012. It is him or up and comers such as Christensen and hard to back him given the potential of the youngsters coming through the Cats. If you knew he would play all games you would lock him in at his ridiculous low price, but huge risk based on JS and JS is the reason for the low rating.

Premium Player Rating: (FWD) 9/10 - Again I don't do 10's and mids score more than FWDS but this is your #1 FWD, you already knew that. News on Buddy is will he play in midfield, answer to that is only if he is bored in the FWD line, looked a little out of place in the midfield but from a fantasy point of view middle or fwd he will average 100 so who cares LOCK HIM IN.

Stephen Coniglio is a talented 17-year-old sportsman from Greenmount in Western Australia.
Stephen played his junior football for Upper Swan Junior Football Club before joining Swan Districts in the West Australian Football League (WAFL). He made his senior football debut for Swan Districts against Perth in round 22, 2010 at just sixteen years of age.
He racked up 26 possessions and two goals in his first senior football match and gathered seventeen possessions and four goals in the 2010 WAFL Grand Final.
In 2010 and 2011, Stephen represented Western Australia in the NAB Under 18 National Championships and he captained the side in 2011.

In 2011, he was awarded the WAFL Rising Star Award.
Stephen nominated for the 2011 NAB AFL Draft after a promising junior career in both football and cricket with the 17-year-old playing grade cricket in WA.
The GWS GIANTS selected Stephen with the second overall selection in the 2011 NAB AFL Draft.

Rookie Player Rating (MID) 8/10 - ok for a rook he would get a 9 he is obviously an extremely talanted player and went at #2 as a result, he is also ready to go and in a team where he will play every game he is fit for I would think. The minus off his rating is for the fact he needs to out perform fellow mid rooks by enough to justify the significant extra expense, still a player of this talent can score well for you as a rook and be your very last upgrade or remain a bench player late in the season not even using a trade. Tough call on spending the money, but he is this years swallow trengrove or heppell however you want to look at it...

The mature-age recruit from Tasmania, a late pick in the 2009 draft, proved an astute addition last year. Made his debut in round seven and played 10 of the next 13 games, adding to the Tigers’ midfield mix, before tiring and finishing the season in the VFL. Averaged 15 disposals and impressed with his nous and precise kicking.

Couldn't find a lot of recent or relevant information on this fella but the 2nd NAB CUP game certainly showed a bit of his potential.
Mid Priced Player Rating: (DEF) 6/10 - can't rate him accurately or say muc habout him, 10 games in 2010 5 games in 2011, i must have missed all 15, bit of an unknown to me but he did stand out in the 2ng game of NAB Cup, my concern is does he and if so where does he fit into the Richmond line up and how ofter will we see him, 2 new defender rooks in, only conca and delidio being permanent midfielders in 2012 may open up opportunities for him in the back line. one to watch. Well priced
Thanks Colli. Ebert is well and truly on the Watchie :P

ill take him for howard, my smokie for yours, im still finding it hard to put a midpricer in my DT midfield but he is going to be great at port. Played well tonight and looked like the #1 midfielder, hartlett might step up also as a result and hopefully port do just ....well just so they dont suck as bad as last season :)
no offence power fans :-X
Hahahaha yeah. I am not to sure I'll start with Ebert OR Howard but it's good to get some background info and to chuck them on the watchlist.
Thanking you.

Anthony played 13 of the first 15 games in 2011 after two injury-plagues seasons, and although he had no problems winning the ball, the midfielder struggled to have an impact. He was trialled as a forward midway through the year and impressed, kicking three goals against Gold Coast in round 12.
Following the Roos’ round 16 loss to Collingwood, Anthony was dropped to the VFL, where he spent the rest of the year, with an ankle injury hampering his efforts to win a senior recall. This season looms as an important one for him.

Liam Anthony
Games: 13
Goals: 9
kangaroos.com.au says:
There were high hopes for Liam Anthony upon his return from a shoulder injury, but he'd probably be disappointed with his year.
The 24 year-old didn't lose any of his ball-winning ability during his time on the sidelines with more than 20 possessions during five of the first six games.
Nevertheless, he found himself on the outer following the round seven loss against the Cats.
He was back in the side a fortnight later and proved his worth as a forward option in wins against Adelaide and the Gold Coast but his season of up's and down's continued. He was later used well as a substitute in the clash with St Kilda but after he was unable to have the same impact the following week against a rampant Collingwood, he was subsequently dropped.
An ankle injury didn't stop him pushing for a recall, but it restricted him and a decision was made to end his season early.
By the numbers
Disposals: 241 (average 18.5)
Kicks: 141 (average 10.8)
Handballs: 100 (average 7.7)
Tackles: 37 (average 2.8)

Mid Priced Player Rating (MID) 7/10 - his talent deserves more, his JS is a massive concern, I don't like or trust the way scott plays his players rooks or guns, there is very little certainty in that team week to week which i personally think is not a good thing. But he should have a place at half forward or on a wing, pumped out a couple of tons last season both playing forward, if north had a clue they would dump the moron that cant kick a goal from 5 meters out and lock this bloke in at half forward. A risky pick because no one knows what scott will do with his players week to week, but a proven potential gun if used right. trick price not even close to cheap
that has to be the best write up ive ever seen n the kid. He has been so overlooked its ridicoulous. NM coaches are morons his a winger/onballer not a forward pocket sub. So underrated
Great work so far Colli. Either he has been overlooked by all so far or my eyesight is going bad on the front page there but Rory Sloane when you have the chance. I get its a Monday though :P
and wouldnt mind seeing paul stewart to add to that ;)
Amazing profiles colli. Could you please do 2 of the NAB cups first round bolters, Magner the Magnet and Rory Sloane if they haven't already been done :)
Just requested Sloane two posts above this. Great minds think alike, aww yeah ;)
Sorry ele i didn't notice. but he is a great choice and I've dropped scotty thompson for him as I see him averaging more with the opposition tagger heading towards thommo, leaving sloane to do what he does best, roam and pick up easy kicks.
Also colli could you do a write up on my boy Tom Ledger? Named on afl website as best for saints in both pre season games, and averaged 30 last year although I don't recall him ever playing more than a quarter as the sub. Very good potential, and I'm tossing up between him and wingard for a premium-rookie mid spot.
few mid price backs I haven't heard much mention of that I'm looking at - Brodie Smith (Adelaide) Jasper Pittard (Port) and Maverick Weller (GC)? Could be worth a bit of detective work. Love the thread, great work.
Jake Carlisle please really caught my eye in the two nab cup matches

Hahaha okay. He has a back-log of about 15 players that is all :P
The question is.... where is the FARK haha.
Yeah I know FARK is off for almost 2 days. Maybe he's been kidnapped by this girlfriend he tells us he has to no end hahahah...
FARK it's only Tuesday and I'll get there had to work last 2 days, not used to that, I'll get caught up thursday and friday but dont let that put you off, i always catch up.
And that team of mine well yes don't hold it against me if it looks different come round 1, i like to put ideas out there and the honest criticism helps make decisions. I have the prospectus and all you legands for advice so really at this point teams are about personal choices its hard to get it wrong we all know so much about all the players its just choosing who to have...
The research articles are labour intensive i have to be in the frame of mind to do them properley so yeah ill do a few tomorrow but will finish all thurs and fri.
oh and i had a live draft for ultimate footy last night so thats last nights excuse for not doing any FF work :) tonights excuse.... I don't have one... :o

believe it or not this is a hobby,
I'm a business development manager for a large furniture company. realy a glorified semi well paid sales rep...
Ha! Sick. I have no idea what I want to do when I leave school this year :P Might work at Coles my whole life at this rate...
go to uni or get a trade, or get into mining in any way you can and get rich !
Would be keen for work on the mines but apparently my teachers reckon its a waste of my brain power. Will probably do a commerce/accounting thing at uni. You get paid a fair bit for that don't you...?
accounting is easy and you get payed shower loads but i dont like it hahaha
why would you wanna work on the mines??? I wanna become a coach at the power or crows....or a trade manager/list manager

hmmm doubt you'd be wating your brains on doing an engineering degree, you would need to be a surgeon ar a very successful lawyer or banker or 20 years older and a CEO of a forbes listed company to earn more than a rookie engineer in the mines.
But the best paid job that exists = a radiologist. $250k to $1,000,000 yes a million dollars a year.
There was a big thing on the news last year they couldnt find a radiologist for cairns hospital the position was advertised for $1,000,000 a year salary!
you have a brain, go to uni, learn how to xray :)
Radiology :o It's not even that hard!?!?! Just stand behind a barrier and press a button...
I might consider accounting.. Hell boring though apparently... I dunno. Journalist would be fun but no-where near as much money in that and pretty competitive too.
Still can't believe radiology is so much!!!
Nah your thinking of a radiographer ele theyre the ones that take the pictures and get paid peanuts. Radiologists need to train for 10+ years before earning any money... but its worth it for the 1mill salary :P
C dub, a couple of cats players caught my eye over the weekend. Keen to hear your thoughts on simon hogan and steven motlop. Job security being my major concern with both. Cheers.
Could I see Kade Simpson, Luke Hodge, Lids, Goddard, Judd? lol sorry.
No doubt I'm gonna get an earful for this, but do we really need to ask Colli about the DT gods?
Surely its better value for us all (CW and his readers) if we can learn a little more about an unheralded rookie or unknown midpricer than another three paragraphs on Chris Judd. Plenty of that (and bugger all else) in the Herald Sun.
to be fair, unless colli pulls out an amazing gem of information, the only boys up there who should be appearing in serious DTs are Goddard and Deledio.
Chappy???

Missed six weeks between rounds 13 and 18 with a hamstring complaint in a season again cruelled by injury. Finally broke into the side in round 21 against Hawthorn and vindicated his No. 8 selection in the 2009 NAB AFL Draft with a six-goal haul against the Western Bulldogs in round 22. Now that he has broken through at the top level, Butcher is expected to feature prominently as a key forward in 2012, but was on a modified pre-season program because of foot tendinitis. Has committed to the club by signing a contract extension at the end of 2011.

John Butcher 3 0 3 3 0 1 0 1 0 1 1 26
Mid Priced Player Rating (FWD) 7.5/10 - This guy has talent in masses, his JS believe it or not is not a certainty at Port, there is a lot of competition for his position, but on the back of a standout performance in his 4 games late last season and impressive run in the NAB CUP game he should start in round 1. Being a key fwd it is not an ideal DT position but he should score well regardless. Bit risky even tho he is cheap port have the 3rd hardest draw but are set to improve significantly this season. If listed to play round 1 and looking to have good JS you could pay a lot more for players who aren't as good. Consider him strongly #8 draft pick will one day be a star fwd in the comp.
I really hope he hasn't worked on his kicking, coz he couldn't miss last year. Only behind was the drop punt he kicked for his first ever AFL touch. ;D

Premium Player Rating (MID) 9/10 - Gibbs is Elite, end of story, if and only if the Carlton back line holds up and the ball is used extremely well out of defence will Gibbs be a lock in teh Carlton midfield and if he is he will score better again, than he already does, but it may well happen. He is youg, often forgotten due to his elite status, still has improving to do and already so good. Not many teams will start him, feeling ripped off that he is a MID only no longer DPP, but starting him as a unique could be the smartest move the few that do make all season. Expect slight improvement again from Gibbs and a great choice for captain he can and will score big again against his favourite DT teams.
Might as well do Matthew Bate while you're at it. :)

*Wobblers comment - Playing inside midfield as first reciever of the pill, 12 kicks to ZERO handballs well thats just outstanding, it shows two things, 1. He is fantasy gold using his foot not his hands. 2. He has time and space to do so, he is on fire.

Mid Priced Player Rating (MID) 8.5/10 - ask again in a couple of weeks it might be 9/10 (for a mid pricer). Obviousl set for a breakout year both on huge preseason, new coach and new attitude at teh club, added to the leadership group, nab cup performance, the whispers of "watch Sloane" of 2 months ago from the few optimistic Crows supporters have turned into roars from teh greater community "WATCH SLOANE". If you are considering a break out candidate in the midfield you cannot go past this bloke.
Could you also do Dayne Beams plz colli if you have the time as I think he may be worth the cash

Injuries prevented the courageous defender/midfielder from consolidating his spot in 2011 after cementing himself in Port’s back six in 2010 and winning the club’s most improved player award. He played six games then missed the final 14 with a shoulder injury. After also having post-season hip surgery in 2010, he will be hoping his injury woes are behind him.

Ok first I can find nothing of significance on Paul, lets just say he had a horror run with injuries and last year was a write off again due to that. Suffice to say he went well in the NAB CUP and is fit and ready to go for 2012, not 100% on his JS but fit and healthy should fit into ports best back 6.
Mid Priced Player Rating 6.5/10 (DEF) - an unknown quantity to me as far as JS goes. Can play the game and if keeps fit is at that point in his career where a break out season is most likely to happen, being in ports defence witth the tough draw will get plenty of opportunity to do so if playing in the backline.

He has been training at St Kilda and we've had our eye on him as well. In terms of our list management and getting some balance, he was at a good age in terms of just being physically prepared to play AFL football. He's a hard competitor."

Rookie Player Rating (MID) 8.5/10 - highest rating i think a rookie lister player can get maybe too high. Still if Melbourne has half a clue he will be the first rookie promoted and FAST. Mature aged at 24 he is more than AFL ready he is AFL ready to dominate. Not just talking him up off the back of his NAB Cup performances which were strong, He won Sandringhams B&F last season and had been training with the Saints before Melbourne drafted him. As soon as he is elevated and named to play GET ON!
Quote from: boora23 on February 27, 2012, 11:32:21 PM
Sorry ele i didn't notice. but he is a great choice and I've dropped scotty thompson for him as I see him averaging more with the opposition tagger heading towards thommo, leaving sloane to do what he does best, roam and pick up easy kicks.
Also colli could you do a write up on my boy Tom Ledger? Named on afl website as best for saints in both pre season games, and averaged 30 last year although I don't recall him ever playing more than a quarter as the sub. Very good potential, and I'm tossing up between him and wingard for a premium-rookie mid spot.

Saint Tom Ledger ($113,200 mid) is another 2010 draftee who appears ready to take a big step forward in 2012. He had a taste of senior action last year, playing two games (coming on late as the sub in both) but on Friday night's evidence (17 touches in two games) suggest he'll be part of Scott Watters' midfield rotation on a regular basis.
Young Saint Tom Ledger could build on his game tally from last year, scoring a 33 and a 32. He is probably a step behind Jack Steven who managed 40 against the Swans before sitting out the Geelong game.

Rookie Player Rating (MID) 7/10 - I'm going to rate him as a rookie due to his price. He is set to see time in the Saints midfield rotation and with fitness and staying injury free he could play a lot more games this season. JS is a bit of a risk but he shone in the NAB CUP and is well and truelly capable of returning a great output for your modest investment in a 2nd year player. Not much news on him other than to say he shone in the NAB CUP and will be a likely starter in the Saints midfield. Very fast and uses the ball well.

Carlisle was forced to wait until round 18 for his first senior opportunity of 2011 after playing the last three games of his debut season in 2010. He finished playing the last seven games of the year, including the elimination final loss to Carlton, mainly as a key defender after being groomed in the role in the VFL. Looms as one of the club’s most exciting prospects, with his aerial strength and football smarts central to his game.

DISCUSSION: http://www.fanfooty.com.au/forum/index.php/topic,46009.0.html
Smith impressed in his debut season, playing 14 games and showing maturity well beyond his years. The dashing 19-year-old averaged 13 disposals, picking up a career-high 23 touches against Port Adelaide in round four. The lean-bodied onballer added 3kg of muscle mass over the pre-season and should become a mainstay either in the midfield or at half-back in 2012.
David Noble: “I think Brodie had an exceptional year with the way he came in and approached the games. In the first eight weeks, in games where we weren't going all that well Brodie's form was very solid. He's another player, who has some great flexibility for us. He has good speed and will take a risk and run and carry the ball. We're really excited about what he's got to offer.â€

Mid Priced Player Rating (DEF) 6.5/10 - think smith needs another season to lift "much" from his current scoring, given he had 3 very low scores last season he could have and should have averaged higher so there is value in him, however not touted as a break out prospect this season and not likely to make you as much as a rook or turn keeper. 65-70 i predict.

few mid price backs I haven't heard much mention of that I'm looking at - Brodie Smith (Adelaide) Jasper Pittard (Port) and Maverick Weller (GC)? Could be worth a bit of detective work. Love the thread, great work.
Jasper Pittard
#29 Port Adelaide Power
Age: 20yr 10mth Games: 13 Born: April 1, 1991
Height: 186cm Weight: 80kg Position: Defender
Last Drafted: Round 1, Pick #16 2009 National Draft
Last Drafted By: Port Adelaide Power
Supercoach Price: $334,000
Dreamteam Price: $275,900
(http://mm.afl.com.au/Portals/0/images/AFL/AFL%20F-J/Pittard_NABCup_246a.jpg)
The first round 2009 draft pick showed his undoubted talent by finishing equal seventh in the best and fairest despite being restricted to 13 games, missing nine weeks with a hamstring injury. A running half-back, he will get stronger with another pre-season behind him.
Jasper Pittard
Jasper played quite a few games down back last year and he’ll spend time rotating between defence and the midfield this year. He’s worked a lot on his defensive skills. He’s got great leg speed and a thumping kick and we need to make sure we use that to benefit the team. He’s had a consistent pre-season completing most sessions.
I think he’ll reap the benefits of his hard running over this pre-season, being his third, as the season progresses. He’s taken some big steps in terms of his development. He’s still got a little bit of youthful inconsistency in his game, but he’s spending a lot of time with all the coaches and the fitness staff to help improve his game.

Mid Priced Player Rating: (DEF) 7.5/10 - wouldnt lock him in just yet, he is set to return from injury and play in the next NAB CUP game, other than health issues if you are looking for a mid priced defender that may break out, but WILL significantly lift thier average and make you money this is a good pick. Was the most used playmaker out of defence for port last season before injury, has a long kick and finds space with ease. Touted to play between defence and midfield this season, seriously consider!

Maverick Weller
#4 Gold Coast Suns

Supercoach Price: $278,300
Dreamteam Price: $247,300
(https://auctiondesq.imgstg.com/assets/auctiondesq/lots/images/main/Weller.gif)
Maverick Weller hails from Burnie in Tasmania’s industrial north.
He’s a supremely fit, tough, fiercely competitive and hard working midfielder.
An accurate right foot kick and an aggressive and uncompromising tackler who sports a tattoo of his ‘Top Gun’ namesake he’s equally adept playing inside or outside midfield roles.
Weller was only 15 years old when he made his senior football debut for TAFL side Burnie Dockers.
An AIS/AFL squad member, he arrived at the GC SUNS after several standout performances as a 16-year old with Tasmania at the National Championships in 2009.
Draft history: 2010 17-year-old access selection (Gold Coast).

Outlook
Played four games midway through the 2011 season and looks a real talent. The clever forward has battled persistent shoulder injuries in his time with the Cats, but this could be his breakout year. Has the football pedigree and just needs a bit of luck on his side.

Mid Priced Player Rating (FWD) 6.5/10 - great talent, very exciting impact player who has a big future, is it this year in the Cats side? unlikely. Not sure how much game time or how many senior games he will play, the Cats FWD line is ridiculously competitive. I think there are much more secure picks at his price and although not rookie listed his JS is in doubt, and there are several senior players ahead of him.
Thanks Colliwobblers for the detective work on Smith, Pittard and Weller - think you nailed it for what it's worth, well played by you.

Height: 192cm Weight: 91kg Position: Forward
Last Drafted: Round 1, Pick #13 2004 National Draft
Last Drafted By: Melbourne Demons
Supercoach Price: $294,300
Dreamteam Price: $248,000
(http://mm.afl.com.au/Portals/0/MatthewBateRd7L.jpg)
Bate's name was discussed during Trade Week after he expressed a desire to seek opportunities elsewhere, but the Demons didn't want to give him away. Generally a high half-forward, Bate performed well in the midfield at VFL level and can expect to rotate through there more often in 2012. Second in the Liston Medal and the Casey Scorpions’ best and fairest, his challenge is to reinvent himself in a new position.
Player honours: 3rd best and fairest 2007; Morrish Medal 2004; NAB AFL Rising Star nominee 2006.
Brownlow Medal: career votes 6.
Draft history: 2004 NAB AFL Draft 1st round selection (Melbourne) No. 13 overall.

Mid Priced Player Rating: (FWD) 7/10 - Will get a LOT more opportunities under the new coach could have been and would have been traded if this wasnt to be the case. Excellend in the VFL last season and would make a smart mid priced pick at his bargain price. JS the only risk and I can't see this being an issue with him having stayed at the Dees

DISCUSSION: http://www.fanfooty.com.au/forum/index.php/topic,45912.0.html
The Player - Gives the impression that he is a 200-gamer instead of the 21-year-old he is, such has been his transition to senior football. Slotted into the Collingwood midfield in 2009 and has barely missed a beat since. Is skillful around the packs where his hardness and no-fuss approach means he can win the contested ball, but he is also effective in attack.
2011
A mixed season. Started well with 26 disposals and three goals against North Melbourne in round two, but was omitted after a quiet Anzac Day. Proved his worth against Geelong in the VFL in round seven, winning 32 disposals and kicking one goal.
Returned in round nine but broke his foot a fortnight later against St Kilda and spent the next seven weeks in the grandstand. Hit form immediately against the Bombers in round 19 and had between 25-31 disposals in the next six matches. Went into the preliminary final against Hawthorn with groin soreness and paid the price, doing further damage and was eventually subbed off at three quarter time with only two handballs to his name.
He stood down from the team ahead of the Grand Final as a result of the injury, upholding the legacy of Simon Prestigiacomo and putting the team ahead of himself.
2010
Named as an emergency for round one but returned in round two and didn’t miss a game from there on. Averaged 20.4 disposals and kicked 26 goals to run sixth in the Copeland Trophy, and walked away with a premiership medallion in only his second season.
Struggled to convert in front of goal, notably late in the game against Hawthorn in round 22 (26.32 for the season). His form tapered in the last six weeks, but it didn’t detract from a brilliant season for such a young player.
Kept the side in the game against Geelong in round nine when he kicked four of the team’s six goals. Received two Brownlow votes against Carlton in round 18.
2009
Showed promise in the NAB Cup but missed selection in round one. Was forced to drive up the highway from a VFL practice match at Kardinia Park to make a rushed debut the following week against Melbourne at the MCG when Dale Thomas was a late withdrawal. Beams looked right at home, winning 18 disposals and goaling for the first time.
Played 18 games in his debut season, earned a Rising Star nomination in round 17 after the win over Carlton, and his performance peaked in round 20 when he had 30 disposals (and two Brownlow votes) against Richmond. He received maximum Brownlow votes the following week in the win over Sydney.
Was sidelined from the Adelaide semi final with a calf strain but returned for the preliminary final. Played three matches in the VFL. Won the Harry Collier Trophy as Best First Year Player.
2008
Played for Southport in the QAFL. Represented Queensland at the U18 National Championships, where he averaged 24 disposals. Played three games for the Queensland Scorpions in the TAC Cup. Opted not to sign with his native Gold Coast ahead of their entry into the AFL in 2011 and instead tried his luck in the National Draft.
His decision was vindicated when Collingwood drafted him with selection 29. Admitted post-draft that he had always wanted to join Collingwood. Was the only Queenslander to attend the AFL Draft Camp.
Debut
Round 2 2009 v Melbourne at the MCG.
Milestones
50th Game - Round 10 2011 v West Coast at the MCG.

Premium Player Rating (MID/FWD) 8.5/10 - Set for more midfield time in 2012 along with sidebottom Beams will be a top 7 FWD in 2012 but won't cut it for a mid just yet. Very expensive to start with and thats - .5 rating him at 8.5, if he drops in price seriously consider getting on will be elite in time. This year maybe next.

Premium Player Rating (FWD) 7.5/10 - Harsh rating but bit of an unknown result for 2012, broke out last season, is touted for mid tiem this season but i find it hard to see how with conca and lids going in this season. Still as a half fwd with time through the middle and on the wing if he continues to improve and finds a way to eliminate the shockers he will increase his average again, in an improvin side too which helps. averaged 23 disposals per game between rounds 5 and 18 so knows how to find the pill.

2011 Wrap - 10 tons with a massive high of 163! the problem 7 scores in the 60's and 70's, eliminate these and we have an elite fantasy midfielder, especially given the potential to reach the big ones.
http://www.sportal.com.au/afl-player-profile/2066/2011014/30
Premium Player Rating (MID) 8.5/10 - Premium midfielder doesnt get the credit he deserves amongst teh star studded blues midfield. Needs to eliminate the lows from his season to ever be elite, this may be impossible given certain "jobs" he gets. Better options exist for the money.

Premium Player Rating (MID) 8.5/10 [ 9/10 SC] - Judd is a SC pick for DT there will always be better choices. Like Simpson he has too many games in the sub 80 category and while an elite user of the ball, this is only rewarded in SC. A champion of the game, a smart pick for SC a unique one for DT and probably not the wisest.

2011 Wrap - A solid seaon and a good increase in average, probably not enough to be considered a breakout season but Gray is past that point in his career in any case, now he just stands to remain solid or continue to improve towards eliteness. Is that a word?
played every game, 6 tons a high of 130. Scores of 28 , 35 , 43 & 55, in an otherwise consistant season indicate a discounted price for his potential.

Premium Player Rating (MID/FWD) 8.5/10 - Should see a modest to significant increase in Grays average this season, would be a really smart pick for a FWD. He will increase his average if he only plays FWD, but word is he will see at least some more MID time. As stated above if not for a few shocking scores he would already have a better average, has had a great pre-season will/has play nab cup and start round 1 in top fitness. Improving side, better midfield this year Brad Ebert will be a good increase in supply to Gray if he is FWD too.

Outlook
The damaging forward/midfielder was at his brilliant best on several occasions in 2011 and finished as an important member of Geelong’s premiership outfit for the third time. Divided his time between attack and rotating through the middle and applied plenty of defensive pressure with a career-high 104 tackles. Enters the 2012 season as a 30-year-old, but is still playing quality football and should have a couple more seasons in him.
SEASON BY SEASON HIGHLIGHTS
2011
Capped year with third premiership and fourth GF
Played 23 games and all three finals
His 540 possessions were second best season in his career
104 tackles for season are a career high
Had 18 games with 20+ disposals
Equaled career best with 10 tackles vs Hawthorn in rd 5
Had 5+ tackles in 10 games

2011 Wrap - 12 tons a high of 135, 3 70's, 2 80's 2 90's. A bad year by his standards and still averaged 100+. Some might say he is on the way down, getting old, past his best? not so sure myself. Expect him to maintain his average of 100-110.
http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/geelong-star-paul-chapman-says-he-was-carried-to-premiership/story-e6frf9jf-1226265123020
Premium Player Rating (MID?FWD) 8.5/10 - Read the article above and take it one of two ways, RISKY at 30+ will more injuries strike will he wear out? The other way to read it MOTIVATED, wanting to make amends and return to his best he will be better for the operations and motivated to return to elite status. I take off - .5 for the risk in any player his age who has suffered recent injury, but pick him with confidence or have him on your upgrade list.

Premium Player Rating (DEF/MID) 9/10 - believe it or not Goddard is underpriced, he won't drop in price this season he will increase in price. (or with the magic number he will make up for the natural value drop). GUN DT Defender, lock him in, you shouldn't even need to read this rating. The 2011 winner of SC might have done so without Goddard but I doubt anyone will win DT or SC without him this season, I don't expect to see the same 7 shockers in 2012 he had in 2011.

Minus nothing for the injury he is over it, shone in the intra club hit out and will play nab cup. A Gun and although he may attract some extra attention this season he also may not given the potential for Barlow to be 100% and Mundy being the Gun he is. Either way as a premium FWD pick he is a good one and will not dissapoint in my oppinion.

DISCUSSION: http://www.fanfooty.com.au/forum/index.php/topic,44933.0.html
The Player - Perhaps the prototype of the modern midfielder. Sleek, skillful and slippery, Pendlebury is one of the bona fide stars of the competition. Forms a powerful midfield quartet alongside Dane Swan, Luke Ball and Dale Thomas, and his ability to win the contested ball as well as use his creativity in open space has made him one of the hardest players to tag. His graceful style of play belies his hardness, for he is a fierce tackler and renowned for his abilities at the bottom of the packs. Often appears to be playing at a different tempo to the other players on the field, such is his calmness that stems from playing as a point guard in basketball teams in his youth. Boasts an imposing trophy cabinet, with his crowning glory his 2010 Norm Smith Medal. Has been a vice-captain of the club since 2009. More exciting for his supporters is that may yet have further improvement left.
2011
Most players would be satisfied with a season like Pendlebury had in 2010, but the vice-captain took it to another level in 2011. Averaged 29.7 disposals in all 25 games (never dipping below 20 in a match), kicked 24 goals (including three in both matches against Essendon) and polled 24 Brownlow votes to finish equal third.
Confirmed his reputation as a big game player in averaging 34.3 disposals during the finals series, and was one of Collingwood’s best in the Grand Final loss to Geelong. Named on a wing in the All-Australian side and capped off his year with his first Copeland Trophy.

HANDS OFF PENDLES !
Premium Player Rating (MID) 9/10 - May overtake Swan as the highest DT scoring player in the comp this season, Magnificently consistant as stated above, flawless pre-season, on top of the world being head hunted and set to name his price at the Pies if he stays. May Swans comments about retiring in 3 years have more to do with keeping Pendles than any intent to retire?. Will he stay or Go to GWS, who knows who cares the wuestion is will he be a LOCK for 2012 DT, and the answer is YES. Already is the most consistant ton scorer, just needs to hit the ridiculous captain scores we see from Swanny and Gaj more oftern and he will be the DT man, already is the SC man as we know. In Summary..... LOCK
Just when I was settled on Swan and Boyd over Pendles...

I was waiting for it LE LOL ;D hehehe LOL ;D
I read all your threads on who to get and I saw eveyone talking you out of Pendles, and i thought as I was writing up Pendles, LE's head is going to explode! haha
For what its worth it's got me thinking too, for me it's pendles or Selwood, luckily Pendles will play this NAB CUP as Selwood just did. Pendles will outscore Selwood IMO but we can upgrade to him Selwood is cheaper.... decisions decisions...
Agh hahahahaha. I think I am loxking in Swan-Dog and Gazza. Will watch Murphy, Boyd, Pendles, Selwood for my last two spots...

Rookie Player Rating: (FWD) 6.5/10 - Kid has talent, strong pre-season fit and ready to go, played well in the NAB CUP game, JS JS JS, not every Cat rook can get a regular spot in the side, and of them all teh FWD's are the least likely to find a regular spot. If he looks like getting regular games - considerbut I think he is a year or two off regular senior selection.

Check out FF write up on the DISCUSSION Link, very good.
Rookie Player Rating: (FWD) 8/10 - Won't score huge numbers playing mostly as a key forward, but has a lot of run and will work his way down the ground to win ball, great kick and mark and a general gun player who would have gone extremely high in the draft if he was in it. With Patton out will have excellent JS. 60 avg may seem low but it is at least a sure thing.

Devon Smith is a forward from the Geelong Falcons in Victoria.
He was a member of the 14th AIS-AFL Academy intake.
He averaged 18.5 disposals and four tackles at the NAB AFL U18 Championships after missing the early part of the year while recovering from injury. He has pace, agility and is a great decision-maker who is dynamic near goal. He averaged 27.3 disposals and 7.2 tackles with the Falcons this year.
The GWS GIANTS selected Devon with pick number 14 in the 2011 NAB AFL Draft.
Name: Devon Smith
Club: Geelong Falcons, Victoria
Date of birth: 20/5/93
Height: 174cm
Weight: 76kg
Draft range: 10-20
NAB AFL Draft Combine: Smith tested inside the top 10 per cent at the combine in the vertical jump, showed excellent speed with a 2.91s in the 20m sprint and finished third overall in the 30m repeat sprint test. He also scored a 25 out of 30 in the Matthew Lloyd clean hands test, which ranked him equal ninth.
Jason Phelan says: Smith is one of the premier small forward-midfielder prospects in this draft. He reads the game exceptionally well and has a knack of finding space inside 50. He made his mark on the national carnival when he booted six goals against the Northern Territory at Visy Park, but also has a ferocious appetite for chasing and tackling in the forward half of the ground. He only played six games for the Falcons due to Vic Country and school commitments, but averaged 27 possessions and kicked 11 goals.
Kevin Sheahan says: Smith was part of the 14th AIS-AFL Academy intake. He averaged 19 disposals and four tackles at the Under-18 Championships. Has pace, agility and finds space. Rare decision-making ability and skills. From Lara FC.
In his own words: I'm a competitive, smart forward with a high defensive aspect to my game.

Rookie Player Rating (DEF) 6.5/10 - one to watch in the future and potentially a downgrade target mid season if injuries/opportunities present themselves. I do not see him getting opportunity from round 1 or in a full strength WCE lineup, he is very talented however, not a new recruit played all 2011 (17 games) in the WAFL. Could feature in 2012 but wsuggest waiting to see him named, then suggest considering him. Low rating due to JS.

Mitchell Golby
#41 Brisbane Lions
Age: 20yr 5mth Games: 8 Born: October 3, 1991
Height: 183cm Weight: 82kg Position: Defender
Last Drafted: Round 4, Pick #69 2011 National Draft
Last Drafted By: Brisbane Lions
Supercoach Price: $278,500
Dreamteam Price: $265,200
(http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/2673/golby7.jpg)
Introduction
Mitch Golby is a creative midfielder/defender who was drafted by the Lions at the end of 2009 midway through his rehabilitation from a knee reconstruction. He is a courageous left-footer who has bounced back from injury setbacks to prove a valuable addition to the Lions' squad.
Background
• Golby caught the eye of recruiters with a string of impressive performances with the Gippsland Power TAC U18 side in 2009.
• He averaged 23 disposals, eight marks and a goal in five matches with the Power and was subsequently invited to the Victorian State trials. H
• He looked almost certain to represent Victoria Country in the U18 Championships but tragically injured his Anterior Cruciate Ligament in a trial match at Victoria Park.
• Despite his injury setback, Golby was given a chance at an AFL career when the Lions drafted him with their first selection (Pick No.16 overall) in the 2009 AFL Rookie Draft.
2010
• Golby continued his rehabilitation from knee surgery throughout the start of the 2010 season and eventually found his way back into the Lions Reserves side by May.
• But just two games into his return, he injured the same knee and required an arthroscopic tidy-up which forced him back on the sidelines for the remainder of the season.
2011
• After overcoming an interrupted debut season, Golby enjoy an incident-free pre-season and earned a place in the Lions' NAB Cup round-robin opener against Essendon/St Kilda at Etihad Stadium.
• During a second pre-season run against the Western Bulldogs at Visy Park, Golby limped off the field and headed straight to the rooms. While some feared the worst, the knee injury required on reltaively minor surgery and around four weeks on the sidelines.
• He returned in time for the Reserves' Round 1 loss against Morningside and was widely considered the Lions' best player.
• He continued his good form throughout the first half of the season in the NEAFL - with his run and carry across half-back a feature of his game - and earned selection in Queensland's initial State squad.
• On the eve of the Lions' Round 12 match against Carlton, Golby was elevated to the senior list in place of draftee Ryan Lester who was placed on the long-term injured list.
• He was promptly named in the Lions' Round 12 and proceeded to collect 16 disposals and lay five tackles in his senior debut against the Blues at Etihad Stadium.
• He quickly became a relatively permanent fixture of the Lions backline for the remainder of the season, playing eight of the next 12 matches and averaging 13 disposals per game.
• At the 2011 AFL National Draft, the Lions used their final selection (Pick No.69 overall) to elevate Golby permanently to the Club's senior list for 2012.

Mid Priced Player Rating (DEF/MID) 7/10 - Huge preseason, has bulked up and is fitter and stronger than last season. A lot of stars returning to the Lions backline which will help the likes of Golby and Adock in DT scoring. Golby excelled in teh full nab cup game but keep in mind the absence of Adcock. Still a good pick the club looks to have faith in him, elevating him off the rookie list and he has upheld his end in the preseason and nab cup all he needs now is games (which he had last season also) and he may explode. A lot depends on his role, his JS and how the Lions use the ball out of defence. Watch!

Melbourne rates Garland highly, valuing his flexibility in defence as he can nullify opposition forwards, whether they are tall or small. He has developed into a fine defender after two successive seasons relatively injury-free. He still missed four games with an ankle injury, but was good enough to finish sixth in the best and fairest. Garland has height, is a good mark and has poise when he wins the ball. A quiet character, he is developing off the field (he won the club’s ambassador award) while on the ground he has become a co-ordinator down back.

Mid Priced Player Rating (DEF) 7.5/10 - The only reason its not higher is Grimes may come in stay in the team and take a bit of the playmaking out of defence work away from Garland, (be the go to man for switching and working it out of defence). You cannot ignore Garlands form however and potential, already much closer to a premium in SC he may well make you $100K or becoma a keeper in DT this season also. The Dee's have the EASIEST draw but still a midfield which is somewhat a "work in progress" it could be a very good fantasy scoring year for defenders who can move the ball and run through the middLE SUCH AS Garland and Grimes this season. VERY VERY TEMPTING!!!

Rookie Player Rating: (DEF) 6.5/10 - talented kit, great left boot and knows how to find the footy, the Pies rate him, swapped a pick (3 places higher than the sunds pick 47-50 plus Yagmoor) so they didnt pay much for him and the Suns didn't feel they needed to hang onto him. Will be developed into a great footy player no doubt but i feel his game time in the firsts will be limited this season however if given games should have a strong output. Not one for me for a season or three yet i think.

The 21-year-old from Hobart, flew up to the Gold Coast to train with the GC SUNS following the 2011 Draft and after impressing recruiters and coaches on the training track, Hall has been rewarded with a place on Gold Coast SUNS senior list.
The versatile Hall played in a number of positions for Hobart in 2011, starting the year as a forward before excelling late acrosshalfback, where he caught the attention of a number of AFL recruiting scouts in the final game of the year against Lauderdale.
Hall is the son of former Hobart premiership player and Sydney Swans draftee Dale.

Lot of talented 2nd year suns in the fwd line so job security is not guaranteed for Hall, but is looking good on form to date. Watch!

From Leeton, Jacob Townsend is a developing utility player and was the sixth player to join GWS under the Club’s zoning concessions.
He represented NSW/ACT at the 2009 NAB AFL Under‐16 Championships and in 2010 played nine matches for GWS in the TAC Cup to average 17 disposals, recording an elite efficiency of 76%. His efforts earned him the runners‐up trophy in the Club’s first ever Best and Fairest award.
At the 2010 NAB AFL Under‐18 Championships he played in all five matches, averaging 16 disposals and three inside 50s. In 2010 he was the only player from NSW to be selected in the AIS AFL Academy squad and also became just the second player to graduate from the GWS TAC Cup side onto the Club’s AFL list.

Rookie Player Rating (DEF) 7.5/10 - Haven't seen a lot from him during NAB CUP, but what we have seen is worth noting, Sheeds seems to be "fast tracking him" not just that he seems to intend to play him on ball. He has been matched up in all games on the oppositions BEST midfielder, worth noting. Has talent was a gun at junior level, or a developing gun more acurately. May get tough run with roles to learn the game but looks likely to get regular games and be a part of Sheeds plans.
A DT-listed defender playing midfield, plus a coach's favourite?
Will definitely be watching Townsend!

Premium Player Rating (FWD/MID) 9/10 - can't score him any lower, but can suggest you play it safe, follow 3 years of proven history and use him as an upgrade target. For three years in a row he has proven he finished the season stronger than he starts it, with Pav and Fyfe showing solid form early I would start either ahead of Goodes. Nothing wrong with goodiebags however and if you had him all season you would,t suffer much for it. The DT TALK article sums it up well enough I don't need to go on about him, but to say he is fit and healthy and he is Goodes.
How good is that for service haha. I get it in under 20 mins haha.

DISCUSSION: http://www.fanfooty.com.au/forum/index.php/topic,45501.0.html
Introduction
A hard-working medium-sized midfielder, Jack Redden has proven a tough AFL competitor who thrives on the contest. He has quickly risen through the AFL ranks to become one of the Lions' key midfielders who can win his own ball and apply pressure to the opposition. 2011
• Redden continued his rapid rise through the AFL ranks in 2011 by establishing himself as one of the best young midfielders in the competition.
• He was regularly among the Lions' best players each week, averaging a career-best 23.9 disposals and leading the Club in total tackles with 166. In fact, Redden ranked among the top five tacklers in the competition.
• Together with his ability to find the ball and pressure opponents, Redden also proved a valuable contributor to the scoreboard with 14 goals for the season - including four game as a multiple goal-kicker.
• On five occasions he collected a dozen or more tackles - including his Round 5 match against St Kilda when he laid 12 tackles, collected 27 disposals and kicked two goals to earn his first ever Brownlow Medal vote.
• He twice collected a career-best 32 disposals - in Round 12 v Carlton and in Round 16 v Hawthorn - and also finished third at the Lions in total marks.
• Redden also surpassed his first games milestone throughout the 2011 when he lined up for his 50th AFL game against Adelaide in Round 20 at the Gabba. He also kept alive his unbroken streak of 54 consecutive senior matches since making his debut in Round 15 of 2009.
• His brilliant season culminated in him finishing third in the Merrett-Murray Medal vote count - his second consecutive top five finish - and being awarded the Shaun Hart Most Courageous Player trophy.

That with a full strength Lions midfield present, not the best team Carlton can field but impressive still by Redden.
Premium Player Rating 9/10 - Elite midfielder, yes he has only had one season of elite numbers, but this kid is not going backwards. Exceptional at pressure acts rewarded more highly in SC but the tackles add up in DT also. Will get tags, but won't care much, not much room for improvement on last seasons numbers but I expect some anyway. Lock him in will be slightly unique this season as a starting MID and will be more than slightly smart to do so.
Have a check of your PM's CW and how cute does Redden look there hahaha.

Supercoach Price: $113,200
Dreamteam Price: $104,200
(http://mm.afl.com.au/Portals/0/article_images_hawks/trade_boumann246.jpg)
After spending three years on the Western Bulldogs list, Boumann came to Hawthorn’s attention after a ripping season with the Box Hill Hawks where he finished third in the best and fairest. He is a robust defender and thus adds depth to one part of the ground where the Hawks are seemingly vulnerable. The club particularly likes his closing speed but, although big and strong, he still needs to add some bulk.
Draft History: 2007 NAB AFL Draft 3rd Round selection (Western Bulldogs) no. 48 overall; 2011 NAB ADL Draft traded by GWS for no. 56.

Rookie Player Rating (DEF) 6.5/10 - Solid pick but plays as a key defender and while as in last article he seems likely to debut and play early games he will struggle hold his spot after players who are out return. Also as a key defender he will not be the most DT friendly option going around. Is mature, AFL ready and likely to play so not the worst pick in a gun rookie starved DT backline this year...

Mid Priced Player Rating (DEF) 7/10 - Has plenty of talent and looks to be a certain starter for round 1, has been playing FWD in the magoos but I see him playing back in the main game. Tricky price has ability and talent but you would/will need to have some inside info on Freo under Lyons to know how he will be used. Freo certainly are not short of defenders. Not much of a rating as I don't really know what to expect, except for him to be playing round 1, and historically he does play well.

Schoenmakers is only 21 and still learning the game but gives every reason to believe he will emerge as a strong, mobile and athletic defender for the Hawks. He overcame foot and Achilles injuries to make his way back into the side towards the end of the season as a key defender. Had a shaky start in the qualifying final against Geelong but displayed better form for the rest of the finals series.

Mid Priced Player Rating (DEF) 6/10 - Will the Hawks trust him, will they play him, does he need to do some more "learning the game" in the VFL this season. Plays as a key defender and not so well at times last year. Need time to develop key position players and there is no guarantee the 3rd or even the 4th year will be the breakout year. Form in the NAB CUP has been solid but round 1 against the Pies is a different level and a game the Hawks DO NOT want to lose after last seasons prelim. See if he is named to play, if he is for that game of all games he may be a great pick for 2012, very underpriced if you look at his scoring potential and take into account his low scoring games of 2011. Risky pick but on NAB CUP form and potential could be a good one.

Strong-bodied onballer who could break into the team for only two games mid-season despite a strong year with WAFL club East Fremantle. A fierce competitor who is strong overhead and excels in winning the contested ball.
Draft history: 2009 NAB AFL Draft 2nd round selection (West Coast) No. 23 overall.
Summer superstarKoby Stevens was restricted by osteitis pubis and then a knee injury in his first two pre-seasons at West Coast, but he is relishing a clean bill of health this summer. The powerful inside midfielder is a touch leaner, running just behind pacesetter Luke Shuey and giving himself every chance to play early games in 2012.

Rookie Player Rating (MID) 8/10 - loss of points for job security you asked about. Hid JS cannot be considered good, he has had a great preseason is skillful and hardworking but is trying to break into a VERY crowded WCE midfield which has a VERY crowded waiting line to boot. Consider masten Gaff Shepphard all on the fringe likely to get more games I doubt Stevens will get regular games and even if he does they will likely involve the vest.

The rebounding defender came close to making his AFL debut in 2011, but spent his first season in the WAFL with East Fremantle developing the defensive side of his game. A late developer, he has shown a strong work ethic and determination to break into the AFL. Son of former premiership vice-captain Michael Brennan.

Rookie Player Rating (DEF) 7/10 - Not sure at all on his JS, obviously can play and came close to senior selection last season. Think he will get games and play well as he has in the NAB CUP, but can't say more than that as there just isn't a lot of news or write ups out there on this bloke. Suggest talking to the Eagles boys maybe LE has an idea?
Brennan is a champ. Very solid player BUT a lot will rest on whether he is selected this week AND round 1. If he is included in these two line-ups then I believe he couold find himself pumping out 75+ on a regular basis. A big risk to include him though with a lot of uncertainty over a position. Maybe have a look at our injury list and see who is on their way back from injury who would be able to walk into his spot. Keep in mind we have Glass and Hurn being re-injected into our backline this week...
My two cents, basically wait for teams to be released and look at or injurie list :)

Mid Priced Player Rating (MID) 7/10 - risky pick for a mid priced midfielder as they all are, but looking at the last artice combined with the fact it is clear Port had plans for him and wanted him says a lot about his JS. Looks like he will play from round 1 and play on ball. Could be a great pick if your inclined to pick mid priced midfielders this could be a good one. Great form in NAB CUP and plenty of opportunities at Port. Have to love that K/H ratio too.

Outlook
His star continued to shine and his fifth season with the Cats netted him his third premiership medal, a remarkable effort for a 23-year-old. His fearless attack on the ball was again highlighted in the Grand Final where he finished second in the Norm Smith Medal, polling votes from all five judges. A four-game suspension was the only blemish on an otherwise outstanding season.

Premium Player Rating (MID) 9/10 - Is a top 10 midfielder and is good value this season. Promoted to Captain will only make a possitive difference if any at all. Going at NAB CUP intensity still put out a lazy 93 in his full game. Will play this last one and will be close to his best, come round 1 you might wish he was in your team if he isnt. Massive ceiling and makes a great backup captain option to Swan or Gaj. Scores exceptionally well against the poorer quality sides. (Not all elite players do).

DISCUSSION: http://www.fanfooty.com.au/forum/index.php/topic,45548.0.html
Introduction
Having completed his senior AFL apprenticeship, Matthew Leuenberger has emerged as one of the most exciting ruckmen in the competition. At 204cm, he can cover ground quickly, win plenty of the ball and occasionally push forward to kick goals.
2011
• After a solid pre-season, Leuenberger maintained his status as the Club's number one ruckman and shouldered much of the workload in the absence of injured team-mate Jamie Charman.
• But when the Lions lost key forwards Jonathan Brown and Brent Staker in Round 1, Leuenberger was trialled at full-forward. Desite showing promise, he finished with just two goals and five behinds from three matches playing in attack.
• He returned to the primary ruck role in Round 7 and amassed a remarkable 52 hitouts against Gold Coast SUNS in QClash 1. It was the fifth most hitouts achieved by any player in a single game since Champion Data started compiling statistics.
• He started to establish himself as one of the competition's elite ruckmen with regular standout performances. One of his finest was in QClash 2 when he collected 19 disposals, had 42 hitouts and kicked two goals in a rare Lions win. He was considered unlucky to be overlooked for the Marcus Ashcroft Medal as the best afield.
• He also picked up a career-high 24 disposals in Round 22 against Collingwood at the MCG - monstering reigning Premiership ruckman Darren Jolly in the process.
• By season's end, he had played all 22 senior matches (one of only five players at the Club to do so), and finished fourth across the entire competition in total hitouts - behind North Melbourne's Todd Goldstein.
• He was considered a legitimate contender to be named in the 2011 All Australian squad, but eventually missed out behind Goldstein and West Coast's Dean Cox.
• His breakthrough season culminated in him finishing a personal-best 6th in the Merrett-Murray Medal vote count. He also averaged a career-high 15.5 disposals per game.
• In another strong message towards the Club's bright future, Leuenberger extended his contract with the Lions to effectively eliminate any chance of him being immediately poached by new AFL franchise GWS.

Premium Player Rating (RUCK) 8.5/10 - 2 full seasons now safe to say the Burger is a solid safe premium ruck pick, finished last season stronger than he started it and has shown good enough form in the latest nab cup game after having a good preseason. Clearly the #1 ruck at the Lions and will only share ruck duties as required when resting. Except more of the same from him this season. Had a few shockers last season which if he can eliminate this season stands to improve his average by at least 5 points making him a challanger for the top ruck spot this season, with Cox giving up a lot more ruck time to Nat, and goldy sharing duties (to some extent) with HMac.

Premium Player Rating (DEF) 8/10 - Almost unpickable given Scotland is available from the Blues and given the Blues round 13 Bye this season leading him to compete also with Goddard and Delidio for a spot in your team. Is a gun and wins a lot of ball, can score big and overall is very consistant. No talk of him in the DT community as he is always underrated and overlooked. He is a safe pick can and should go close to a 100 average. Has had a huge pre-season and is listed as one of the clubs big improvers.
Would usually be a unique pick and is good value and maybe that is why to date he is the 4th most selected premium defender behind Goddard, Delidio, Scotland. (DT 2012)
probably the best dt thread here! great effort and keep it coming colliwobblers! :)
Hi Guys, I have updated the INDEX on the first post of the thread to ALPHABETICAL listings of players to make it a lot easier for you to find the players you are looking for. I will do some work over the next couple of days to update early posts that are a little irrelevant due to changed situations/form and will include nab cup games results.

Mid Priced Player Rating (DEF) 7/10 - could see midfield time this season and if he does should have the breakout season Freako and many others are predicting, not so likely to score great if given a key defensive role which he is also more than capable of. A high draft pick had a shocking run with injury last season AGAIN. Wouldn't start him but will be watching him, if he is a regular which he should be and lives up FINALLY to his massive potential he will breakout.

The 205cm ruckman is yet to make his debut and was mentioned in trade week, but Port is buoyant about his prospects and was reluctant to trade him. Impressed in the 2011 SANFL Grand Final with Woodville-West Torrens, which defeated pre-game favourite Central District. With fellow ruckmen Renouf and Lobbe recovering from injury in the pre-season, Redden has the chance to play in the senior side, but he needs to keep working to improve his aerobic fitness.
Reddo is a big young lad who is really starting to grow into a man. The midfielders love him at stoppages because of his strength and positioning. He’s a great stoppage ruckman and although he hasn’t got through every session, his aerobic capacity is improving. That is still an area that he’s got plenty of improvement in before he can become a regular AFL ruckman. He’s very good when he’s fresh and he’ll be priming himself for the NAB Cup with Renouf and Lobbe recovering from injury, so there may be an opportunity for him.

Rookie Player Rating (RUCK) 8.5/10 - Looking more and more likely of getting the #1 ruck spot at port, if he can have 2 or 3 big games in the real deal before Lobbe gets back he will be safe as houses, for a rookie that is GOLD. There is a lot of competition for tall spots at Port so he needs JS in the ruck because he is unlikely to get it in the fwd line. Obviously talented and capable and ready to go, should be an absolute lock for your bench.
Good to be able to put a name to a face. Darley and Redden have so far just been a name and a price tag :P
Any chance you could do one on the great man, Brent Stanton? I've got him locked in just want to hear what a true expert sees of him. Cheers.

Powerful ruckman Tom Campbell was considered one of the premier VFL ruckman in 201. Turning 21 next year, Campbell has a more developed body capable of competing with the bigger bodies at AFL level.

Rookie Player Rating (RUCK) 6.5/10 - Rookie listed, will get elevated at some stage I feel, but his Job Securitu is limited. With Minson the clear #1 ruck and Cordy and Roughead the two to support him this week in the dress rehersal it is very unlikely to see Campbell get early games, make a good downgrade target if and when he is elevated as he was a dominant ruck in the VFL last season and is mature and AFL ready.

Mid Priced Player Rating (MID) 7.5/10 - Cornes is a bargain if he continues his NAB CUP form and is given a starting role in every round, two things he failed to do last season. There is a large risk involved with him but given what we have seen so far the risk is significantly reduced, a drop in form won't be tolerated and if the form continues Port will be mad not to play him. A risky pick but given the potential on display tonight may be a clever one if a very unique one.

Salopek had a topsy-turvy year. Hampered by a hamstring injury after round one, he was in and out of the team mid-season before finishing the year off well, playing in the last six games for a total of 12. An excellent ball-user and decision-maker, Salopek will be hoping to be a consistent fixture in the team when his body is right, and is in his football prime years, so has to make the most of them.

Mid Priced Player Rating (MID) 6/10 - Not great JS for Salopek, has talent finished last year well and had a good pre-season, is however a fringe player and with Cornes firing and Mccarthy and Ebert coming in and being VERY impressive there is doubt about Salopek getting regular games with or without the vest. Has talent but not the safest mid priced pick going that is for sure.

Mid Priced Player Rating (FWD) 6.5/10 - Not much news on Davey, not much I can say either, not good anyway. He is a servicable player always has been, gets talked up a lot but the stats are what fantasy footy is about and the stats have always been average. Not likely to put in a full season in my humble opinion and in a team that has a lot of improving to do I can't see him improving much on his numbers.

Reclaimed his status as the game's best big man and rediscovered his best form after two seasons ruined by injury. Ranked third in the AFL for hit-outs (716), including finals. Has formed an unrivaled ruck partnership with Nic Naitanui and his ability to cover the ground, floating back to help the defence or forward to kick goals, is of great value.

Premium Player Rating (RUCK) 9/10 - Lock, unless you are certain on the second best ruckman of the season then pick him and upgrade to Cox mid season (if going 1+3 strategy) if going set and forget - LOCK. The gap between Cox and the rest of the premium ruckmen is significant and worth the extra money from the start if you have it. Exactly the same as it is in every other line when picking the most expensive standout player. Another ruckman may improve further to match Cox this season or even better him, knowing who it will be is the problem. For now Cox is the best and looking like keeping it that way.

A very safe pick for your #2 ruck, will be daylight betwen him and Cox and even Sandi if he stays fit and plays all season. Broke out last season and needs to consolidate in 2012.

DISCUSSION: http://www.fanfooty.com.au/forum/index.php/topic,47122.0.html
Hardworking midfielder Danny Stanley joined the Gold Coast SUNS as a rookie following a stint at Collingwood.
Taken by the Pies with pick 21 in the 2005 AFL Draft, Stanley spent four years on Collingwood’s list. His endurance and work ethic saw him consistently feature in VFL ‘best on ground’ lists but opportunities at AFL level eluded him. He managed only five games in Collingwood’s senior side before being delisted after the 2009 season.
Stanley was invited to train with Fremantle in the 2009 preseason but the GC SUNS swooped by picking him with its fifth selection in the 2010 Rookie Draft.
Once described as ‘a bull of player’ by Collingwood coach Mick Malthouse, Stanley’s dynamism, physicality and maturity was a standout feature of the GC SUNS 2010 VFL season, one that saw him deservedly finish among the leaders at the club’s 2010 best and fairest count.

Mid Priced Player Rating (FWD) 6.5/10 - Heaps of potential and will play all games again but feel the Suns won't give him a lot of it up FWD, expect him to improve slightly on last seasons average but not a lot. Not much to read about on Stanley so a vague write up and an even less convincing rating Sorry :-[
Saw JROO live today at Manuka.
He dominated, no doubt. But he made a lot of errors. Still Best On Ground, but makes me wonder against the tougher opposition

Premium Player Rating (MID) 8.5/10 - No News is good news, had a solid pre-season and is an elite midfielder, needs a better season than last season which should not be a problem for him. Cheap for his potential, slightly risky as he may not make the top 10 midfielders but will be a unique pick and should be close enough to the top bunch to be worth picking. As all SC coaches would be aware he would need to use the ball a lot better to be a viable pick in SC, consider for DT only.

Shaw had a slow start to his second year at West Lakes after an interrupted summer, but worked his way into form at Glenelg in the second half of the year, impressing in the Club’s elimination final loss to South Adelaide. At 193cm and 89kg, the athletic 20-year-old has the versatility to play in a variety of positions.
David Noble: “Sam played quite a few games last year, which was good. It took him a bit of time just to get settled back playing and be prepared to cop a few physical hits and feel okay. He provided some really classy run off half-back for Glenelg and he's a terrific size. At a stretch, he could probably play key-position defence, but he could also play as a running half-back or wingman. We're really pleased re-signed with the Club because we think he's got a lot to offer us.â€

The Player - Has filled a variety of roles in his five years at Collingwood, but has played his best football as a rangy half back. Predominantly a shut down player, Goldsack has shown the ability to create when the situation allows. Capable of playing on both tall and small opponents, with his height, speed and courage making him a safe option for the match committee. Has been on the fringe of senior selection in recent years due to injury and illness and will be looking to make a senior spot his own in 2012.
2011
Was again struck by misfortune in the pre-season, diagnosed with Glandular Fever and losing 9kgs. Returned to play in the NAB Cup premiership against Essendon, but had to wait until round eight to play a home and away match.
He played 12 of the remaining 18 games, but was again the fall guy for the finals. Put the clamps on Andrew Embley in the qualifying final against West Coast, but was omitted for the preliminary final, and again an emergency for the Grand Final. Is subsequently the only premiership player on the list to never have played in a losing (or drawn) Grand Final.

Mid Priced Player Rating (DEF) 7/10 - Barring injuries if Goldsack does play it will be on the wing moreso than in defence, they will certainly use him in defence if required, he wants to play on the wing and his preseason suggests he has been training to do so. He had a knee issue for the first month of nab cup and only came up for the last round. JS is the big issue, would still be considered a fringe player but has probably been promised more opportunities this season otherwise he probably wouldnt be there. Speculation only.

Parker made an impressive start to life as an AFL player, featuring in 13 games in his debut season.
The mature-bodied midfielder was being groomed as a long-term replacement for Jude Bolton, but demonstrated he was ready for senior football.
His best effort was a 26-possession, two-goal performance against Gold Coast in round 16, when he earned a first Brownlow Medal vote.
He featured in both of the Swans’ finals.
Brownlow Medal: 2011 votes 1; career votes 1.

Mid Priced Player Rating (MID) 8.5/10 - 2nd year blues ? if you believe in it may be the only downside to this kid, huge preseason, huge nabcup, a brownlow medal vote against GCS in his debut year, 32 possesions in his nabcup game against GCS, think he likes playing the suns. All I can say is he is a great pick for a mid priced midfielder and should eclipse last years numbers.
Exceptional effort CW. Looks a pretty strong unit that Parker lad too!

Rookie Player Rating (MID) 7/10 - listed in best 22 on some sites and not even on the bench in others such as sportal, at least we get to see the GWS team before lockout round 1. This guy was taken so high in the draft for a reason, he is all class and has tons of natural talent, he is however one of the less mature bodies in the Giants line up and may struggle in the main game, may be limited to the seconds and or vested on occassion, definately needs to be developed unlike the multitude of talent the Giants have had for an extra season. Risky pick but like Coniglio, Tyson and wingard from Port, if he does get his chance he will be a gun.
Hoskin-Elliot would hope he can do well for GWS. He was the pick that GWS traded with GC in which GC picked up O'Meara!!
Sam Mitchell if thats OK collli! he seems to be fairly unique and has smashed his two NAB games.
David Astbury could he be picked round 1?

Jed Adcock’s sublime skills, leadership qualities and fearless approach to each contest make him a valuable member of the Lions' side. He is tough and quick utility who has proven effective in roles as both a midfielder and attacking defender.
2011
• Adcock played 20 of a possible 22 senior matches in 2011, missing only Rounds 13 and 14 after a broken finger had deteriorated to the point where he required surgery.
• More importantly, he was forced to shoulder a great deal of the team’s leadership - both on and off the field - in the long-term absences of injured skipper Jonathan Brown and fellow Vice-Captain Daniel Merrett. He quickly became accustomed to the role of ‘acting Captain’ and seemed to flourish with the responsibility.
• He started the season in career-best form, averaging close to 24 disposals per game before the finger injury.
• At season's end, Adcock received the Lions' Most Professional Player award for the first time after exhibiting all those traits which are highly respected within a Football Club.
• He also finished inside the Club Champion top five for the third time of his career, after placing equal 4th with fellow backman Pearce Hanley.

With key defence personel back this season he should be freed up more to be the playmaking running hald back/mid he is worthy of being. We were shown in NAB CUP what he is capable of when on the ball. Fully fit and free to run should score an average in the high 90's. Great bye round for a defender.

The man is a potential star midfielder and free off halfback he can be a great scores, he can also be terrible tied down in defensive roles. Ended with an average that fails to demonstrate how bad and good his season was at different times.

Premium Player Rating: (DEF) 8.5/10 - Gun no question about it, question is where and how will he be played. If off half back with liscense to run through the middle lock him in and throw away the key he is easily a top 7 defender. If not it will be a rollercoaster ride. In certain roles down back he just hasn't been able to score. Barlow and Mundy will both come back but given Broughtons performance and form in all NAB CUP games through the middle he may continue to be used through there. A slightly risky pick but given the options well worth it not likely to dissapoint under Lyons.

Shiels reads the game beautifully and finishes well and, like Savage, he demanded selection last year after an impressive pre-season. One of just two Hawks to play all 25 games in 2011, and he was outstanding, averaging 23 possessionsâ€"eight contestedâ€"a game. He is not lightning quick but his clearance work shows signs of becoming elite. Finished seventh in the best and fairest.

Played the wholes season racked up 12 tons, 8 of those 120+ including his high of 147 not a one off he had a 144 also. A low of 66 being one of only 4 scores under 80.

Premium Player Rating (MID) 8/10 - Breakout season in 2011 should consolidate and improve if anything, will he step up to become an elite midfield keeper not sure about 2012 but if not it will be 2013. very safe cheaper mid premium who should lift his average. Plays a DT friendly role and is a lock in the best 22. Missed all 3 full nab cup games and I can't find out why, wasn't listed as injured after nab 1 so not sure.
Yep that's the one Cw love the work

Mid Priced Player Rating (FWD) 7/10 - for a cheap mid pricer he is a potentially smart pick, all depends on his role, has played well enough in nab to justify a spot "if there is one" but articles on where he fits in and swingman comments suggest he may be able to play back or forward. New to the club and not many games under his belt but was drafted high and should go well given the opportunities he never got at the saints. JS not ability is the issue, plus the extra cost over porpoise

Simply a star and his 2011 was brilliant â€" hence the 30 Brownlow votes, despite being ineligible (he was reprimanded for a rough conduct charge in round five). Last year was special for Mitchell, with the birth of twins on the home front and his best season of football. He played nearly every game and led the Hawks in total and average possessions (701 and 30.5) and clearances (131 and 5.7). He relinquished the captaincy to Luke Hodge, but not the leadership of the midfield and all season he kept getting the footy and, for the most part, using it with precision. Finally, he won a well-deserved All-Australian selection.

Very Very consistant has a decent ceiling and should continue to improve tho not much improvement is left after his stellar 2011. Only 2 scores under 90 is not very common amongst elites.

Rookie Player Rating (DEF) 6/10 - Harsh marks but is a player who won't return until around round 6 by recent reports, and when fit is still a developing player who will hold down a key position in defence, with Ellis and Morris in friendlier roles and just as cheap and more likely to play round 1, look at Astbury after he comes back and plays his first two games.

In his first year at Hawthorn, Smith made quite an impression. His body of work on debut included 16 games, 20 goals, two Brownlow votes and a sense of theatreâ€"the bigger the game, the better he played. It was certainly a meteoric rise: 12 months after running around in the Ballarat Football League, he was playing big games for Hawthorn on the MCG. He was the club's first pick at the 2010 NAB AFL Draft, the mature-aged draftee delivered, injectibng much-needed pace to the side as well as a raking left-foot kick, skill, agility and goal sense.

Mid Priced Player Rating (MID) 7.5/10 - only giving him a 7.5 due to it only being his second year, don't let that put you off the kid is a star in the making, but still being made. At $408K there is the potential to make some coin off him but less likely for him to become a keeper, tricky pricing but the potential is there the only question is game time/opportunity as I think the scoring potential is a given and the longer he goes on the better he will become, but pass for me this season.

INTERVIEW: http://www.abc.net.au/news/2012-03-17/interview-ian-callinan/3896444
After joining the Crows in the 2010 Rookie Draft at the age of 27, the four-time Central District premiership player was on track for a round one debut when he sustained a freak bicep injury in the final NAB Challenge game. The tough midfield/forward worked tirelessly in his rehabilitation and was rewarded with a long-awaited AFL debut against Geelong in round 14. He starred in his first outing for Adelaide, gathering 21 possessions and kicking a classy goal. Unfortunately, a hamstring injury limited him to only two more appearances for the season.
David Noble: “Ian had a really frustrating year injury-wise. What Ian has brought to the club is an outstanding way in which he prepares, and I think that's rubbed off on the other guys. He doesn't leave anything to chance and it's just frustrating we couldn't get him on the paddock more.â€

If named worth looking at as he is ready to go and proved his ability last season, AND AGAIN IN nab cup.

(http://yscc.com.au/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/Knights_kickRd12_246b.jpg)
After a horror year with injury in 2010, Knights battled form and fitness issues again in 2011. The 25-year-old impressed when shifted onto the ball in the latter part of the season, amassing 33 possessions and four tackles against Geelong in round 21. Although below his damaging best, Knights still averaged 18 disposals and kicked 10 goals in 16 matches. The attacking left-footer will be hoping to return to his career-best form of three years ago under new coach Brenton Sanderson.
David Noble: “Chris is another one who had a frustrating year in the sense that he probably didn't reach the standards he would've liked, and then towards the end of the season he had a few injuries that ruled him out. He wasn't able to finish the year and get the momentum you can sometimes take into the next pre-season. He'll train his backside off over pre-season and prepare himself to have a better year in 2012. We liked what we saw when we moved him up onto the wing and he could actually impact in the midfield if he can get himself in there. He adds a slightly different dimension as a left-footer and attacking player. Sometimes having those guys in your midfield mix can help break up certain types of games for you.â€

The gifted defender went from a virtual onlooker in the 2010 finals to a star in the 2011 campaign, using his poise and drive in defence to set up numerous attacking moves. After being dropped in last year’s finals series, Mackie bounced back in superb fashion and led the Cats in defensive rebounds. Played his 150th game in the Grand Final and has many years of good football ahead of him.

Mid Priced Player Rating (DEF) 8/10 - just about a premium, should lift his average to the high 80's this season and will be a premium keeper, hard to start over the other premiums but won't be surprised to see him in a LOT of sides before the end of the season. His average was down in 2011 but his performance and value to the club was up.
G'day Colli,
Fantastic thread mate, I have been following this as it happens and your knowledge of football is second to none. Not only is it informative for DT but a good read on players you might not have known that much about. Keep it up mate.
I ask a favour if you don't mind? If you get a moment could you please peruse over my team and see if my team seems right?
I'm pretty sure I'm good except for quite a few GWS players in there and any injuries I have been unaware of?
Cheers.

Thanks again, really appreciate what you are doing.
DEF: not sure on buntine hasnt played any games in nab cup and is very expensive - see if he is named or consider guthrie or clark. If you do manage to downgrade him i would choose to upgrade suckling into goddard. Mohr doesnt look likely to score well in DT either. Darley would be a better GWS pick if named. Morris should be another good def rook.
MID: Move martin to your fwd line he is a fwd keeper but not a mid keeper. Priddis and swallow are more SC than DT picks but unique in DT and good picks all the same. I would consider changing one of swall or priddis to a premo on the round 12 bye as you have 3 on the round 11 bye here. Maybe swan pendles or selwood. Zorko may be fit for round 1 may not lock him in if he is. Emer i know nothing about. Magner and Shiel are mid locks if named for round 1. I still like clifton and miles also but have to see if they are named tomorrow.
RUCK: Awesome can't fault it stephensen should get better all year.
FWD: Again Rioli is a SC pick more than a DT pick but good either way if he has sorted his running out. Have seen nothing flash from christensen over nabcup most have gone off him onto dangerfield. Haynes another gun expensive rook that may or may not play round 1, i prefer kennedy from gws as a fwd or even cameron. Make sure hall is named for round 1 his hamstrings have been an issue in preseason. Same with sexton. Other FWD rooks I like include pfieffer dickson and saad even. the fwd line is a little week but your midfield is stacked so bring martin into the fwd for a rook in the mids and it will balance it up nicely.
Good team overall mate, watch the teams go up before each game to sort out your rooks and otherwise all good.
Consider moving marting fwd.
Consider getting a round 11 bye mid out for a round 12 bye mid.
Consider Goddard.
GL in 2012!

Mid Priced Player Rating (FWD) 7/10 - for a cheap mid pricer he is a potentially smart pick, all depends on his role, has played well enough in nab to justify a spot "if there is one" but articles on where he fits in and swingman comments suggest he may be able to play back or forward. New to the club and not many games under his belt but was drafted high and should go well given the opportunities he never got at the saints. JS not ability is the issue, plus the extra cost over porpoise
Cheers CW. Looks like the form mid-priced ranga to me.

Alex Johnson too please Colli
@ mezzoculo,
I can't lie he is in my team at the moment, but I didn't rev him up too much here because his job sevurity is a real concern certainly he has showed enough for a spot but there are a LOT of crows fighting for spots, according to the coach a healthy list of 44 in total in contention for selection....
Still named round 1 i'll probably take a punt but it has to be noted it will be a punt.

Clancee uses the ball well and is a quick mover who rarely gets beaten in a constest. Named All-Australian after his fantastic Under-18 National Carnival, where he was also named Most Valuable Player for WA, Clancee thoroughly deserved his position as captain of the Colts Team of the Year. Originally from the Swan Districts, Clancee also played League footy for Swan Districts.
Pearce debuted against Port Adelaide in round 11 of the 2009 season and backed up against Geelong a week later before injuring a hamstring. He impressed in both matches and earned a recall after a best-on-ground performance for Swan Districts the following week.
After three seasons with Fremantle, Clancee was delisted at the end of the 2011 season but stayed on to train with the team. After an impressive performance during 2012 pre-season training he has been re-rookie listed by the club.

Mid Priced Player Rating (MID/FWD) 7.5/10 - reckon he will be elevated if he hasnt already and I just havent heard or read about it yet. With injuries already growing as they do at the Fremantly injury farm, they will need solid back up options. This is the best pearce could have hoped for that was until he stayed on last year to train hard, same out and impressed in nab cup after being rookie listed by the club, and Lyons being a new coach will have new ideas on him, what they are we will have to wait and see, on nab cup potential he is good value but he is not cheap either.
Nab Cup form = Lock and Load playing for his career and has ability looks tough too.
Concerns = Played a lot in the middle - Barlow Mundy and Morabito all to return and Neale to also come in.

Rookie Player Rating (FWD) 7/10 - tough mature AFL ready and had a great game in one of the earlier shortened NAB games. Is he in the best 22 probably not, will he get games? that's the question, there are 3 maybe 4 candidates to fill the fwd role vacated by LeCras and if it was a defensive tackling pressure fwd they wanted this would be the one, if it was a classy goal kicking player as LeCras is... maybe there is better maybe not. JS the big issue not ability. Watch to see if named and if named for round 1 will still be a slight gamble. On the other hand if he does play and smashes it he might cement a spot and be a great pick.

The 21-year-old from Hobart, flew up to the Gold Coast to train with the GC SUNS following the 2011 Draft and after impressing recruiters and coaches on the training track, Hall has been rewarded with a place on Gold Coast SUNS senior list.
The versatile Hall played in a number of positions for Hobart in 2011, starting the year as a forward before excelling late across halfback, where he caught the attention of a number of AFL recruiting scouts in the final game of the year against Lauderdale.
Hall is the son of former Hobart premiership player and Sydney Swans draftee Dale.

Rookie Player Rating (RUCK) 4/10 - no real chance of getting games, hasn't played in any of the NAB CUP games (long ones at least that i checked), a baby ruck takes a LONG time to develop and will be unlikely to see senior action without sever injuries to higher ranked ruckmen at the club. No news on the kid since he was rookie listed either.

David Swallow was overshadowed by other first-year players in his debut season, but none were more promising or consistent.
Swallow flew under the radar in his first season, but the No. 1 pick from the 2010 NAB AFL Draft was all class in his 21 games.
Averaging 20 disposals and showing clean hands, an ability to win the ball at stoppages and a flair for using it creatively when in space Swallow is an AFL star of the rise.
The supremely fit midfielder, Swallow (brother of North Melbourne captian, Andrew) swallow is also a leader in the making.
Player honours: NAB AFL Rising Star nominee 2011.
Brownlow Medal: 2011 votes 2; career votes 2.

For Nab cup game #4 the GCFC DT rankings were 1. Ablett. 2. Caddy 3. Swallow. Expect to see that very often this season.
Mid Priced Player Rating (MID) 8/10 - 2nd year blues? expensive, plenty of reasons you could come up with to skip the kid. Fact is he is all class, will be a star midfielder and will improve that 2011 average this season, question as always with yound 2nd and 3rd year players is by how much. GCFC will be better and so will Swallow in 2012, Caddy back in nab 4 did nothing to hurt swallows scoring and i expect it to help if anything. Smith will be better again in the ruck that will help too. Safe pick won't go backwards. Does need to eliminate quiet games he had last season to lift his average significantly this can only be done by the team improving and preventing getting smashed in the middle.

After an outstanding debut year in 2010, Martin consolidated that effort, enhanced his reputation and delivered another brilliant season which saw him finish third in Richmond’s B&F in 2011. The tough in-and-under warrior finished in the club’s top three for: kicks (311), disposals (486), contested possessions (194), contested marks, inside 50s (93), goals (33), goal assists (20) and wasn’t far off in tackles and clearances either. Pick three in the star-studded 2009 draft (Scully and Trengove) Martin boasts terrific skills, is an exceptional talent and cherished among Tiger supporters for his ruthless and unyielding attack on the ball.

Had a 34 possession game against the cats in nab cup, No tag first quarter and he had 26, for the next 3 quarters Taylor tagged him and he had less than 10 in 3 quarters. Won't be an elite midfield scores this season but he WILL be an elite scoring FWD. One of the most picked players for 2012, set and enjoy the ride.

The respected senior Eagle did not miss a game in 2011, proving his durability and passing the 150-game milestone to qualify for life membership at West Coast. Made way for younger brother Scott to become the club’s No. 1 run-with player, but remained a consistent shutdown option, both in the midfield and in defence. Leadership and willingness to put his body on the line remain great assets.

2011 WRAP: High of 103 his only ton, played every game low of 43 one of
20 games under 80 points.No news of interest for Adam, he re-signed and is still a vital run with player in the WCE backline, should play all games again.
Mid Priced Player Rating (DEF) 6/10 - Is unlikely to lift his average again, finished for DT I would predict. With Scott playing in the middle as the tagger and Adam taking the shut down roles in defence he will see no more ball than he saw last season. Not a DT friendly role. I could be wrong but with the young guns coming into the midfield and Scott the best tagger there it is likely to be more of 2011 not a return to 2010. Great player at what he does tough and dependable, not for fantasy.

The Demons hope Clark can add size, marking power and mongrel to their forward line after securing the former Lion for pick No. 12 last Trade Week. Clark’s best season with the Lions was in 2009 when he played mainly as a ruckman who dropped behind the ball, but the Demons have chased him as a marking forward who can create a contest and kick goals. A competitive player who is a good mark, courageous and mobile at 200cm, he is moving into what should be the peak of his career.

Mid Priced Player Rating (FWD) 7.5/10 - playing purely as a key fwd Clark will be good, but will he be great. He needs to be he was no doubt well rewarded by the Dee's for coming over. More importantly he will wear Stynes #11. He is recruited to be a key fwd and to put hardness into the Melbourne fwd line. Expect big efforts from him, he tackles he marks and he kicks goals, but how much will he get of it in the Dee's fwd line. There will no doubt be ups and downs and he will be a roller coaster. But the same can be said of most key fwds. Much worse choices available but a little risky for me in his first year at the new club, still represents good value.

Highly decorated centre half back Nathan Bock arrived at the Gold Coast SUNS from the Adelaide Crows as the GC SUNS’ first uncontracted signing.
Bock was the rock of the GC SUNS defence in 2011. He looked rejuvenated in his career and delivered in spades.
Taking the opposition’s best forward every week, Bock’s form was good enough to earn an All Australian nomination. Bock was a deserved runner-up in the GC SUNS best and fairest award.
Prior to joining the SUNS he was selected by the Crows with Pick 25 in the 2001 National Rookie Draft and was elevated to the Crows Senior List in 2003.
He made his senior debut in Round 5, 2004. Initially used as a forward, Bock’s physicality and competitive instincts soon saw him shifted to defence and it was as a defender that he earned his current outstanding reputation.
In 2008 he was named as the Crows Club Champion and Most Valuable Player. Bock was also selected in the 2008 All Australian side. In the same year he represented Australia against Ireland in International Rules.

Premium Player Rating (DEF) 8.5/10 - Will be another great season ahead for Bock, should see natural improvement in scoring as the Suns improve. Suspended for first 2 games. Makes a likely candidate for those who had Buggy on the bench. Will play fwd this season it seems tho can't be too sure, will depend how the backline goes without him, makes little difference may have even scored better down back than he will up fwd. Definately a better pick in SC as he is very efficient with ball use and tends to score much better in that format. Still one of the best defnders available for either comp and should definately improve his average on last season. Shone in the NAB CUP games.

#19 Essendon Bombers
Age: 30yr 9mth Games: 184 Born: June 2, 1981

One of the elder statesmen in the squad at 31, Hille will be hoping a full pre-season on the track will put him in good stead for season 2012. Although he played 19 matches last year, Hille struggled for form and fitness throughout the season. Coach James Hird will be hoping the big man can rediscover his best form this season, whether it be in the ruck or pushing into the forward line.
"Essendon coach James Hird has spoken of playing all three rucks - David Hille, Paddy Ryder and Tom Bellchambers - if they are in form. I think it makes Essendon top-heavy and it hurts the running capacity of the side.
Ryder's versatility has him picked first and I feel there is room for only one of Hille and Bellchambers.
Now over his injuries, I think Hille still has the capacity to be in the best three ruckmen in the AFL. Hille and Ryder are a formidable combination when on song."

2010 16 83.4
2011 18 82.8
2011 Wrap: 3 tons high of 119, only 7 score under 80 and 4 of those in the high 70's, a low of 39 clearly sub affected. Adds up to a consistant season. Was dropped to the magoo's for a few games last season which was more due to having 3 rucks than really bad performance but he can do and did do better for the dumping.
Essendon
Incumbent: David Hille. Played 19 games last year but appeared below his best. At his peak, Hille is a strong-marking, mobile behemoth who presents a genuine threat in the forward line.
Back-up: Paddy Ryder. Versatile and athletic high-flyer played half of last season as a key forward and half as a ruckman, and made good contributions in both areas, booting 27 goals and averaging nearly 13 possessions. After missing only three games in five seasons, he should be ready to peak. Tom Bellchambers, favoured as second ruckman early last season, was impressive in the air and the packs, before being squeezed out for team balance.
Prediction: Essendon eventually turned its back on playing all three big men last year. Bellchambers again appears likely to play less than a full season unless Ryder or Hille gets injured.

Premium Player Rating (RUCK) 8/10 - Just sneeks into the premium level, tho not for his ability for price. Is a premium just had a shocker in 2011 by his standards. Will be the #1 ruck at Essendon this season until he has an injury or form slump. Ryder has shown he is very effective FWD and that is where he will be most. No three rucks for the bombers this season methinks so the bulk of the ruck work will go to Hille. Has had a strong pre-season and impressed the coach, two things he needed to do. A little risky, cheap enough to pick over a more popular premium? not sure? capable of being a top 10 ruckman - definately.

Former Port midfielder Lower grabbed his second opportunity at AFL level with both hands in 2011, playing 19 games and becoming a member of the Dockers on-ball brigade as he was upgraded from the rookie list. He has previously played across half back in his time with the Power, which offers the Dockers a little flexibility.

Mid Priced Player Rating (MID) 4/10 - selectable only as a mid in 2012, did not play any NABCUP had a shoulder reco and an interupted preseason. Should be available for round 3 after he serves his 2 weeks of suspension, but may also find match fitness in WAFL if Barlow and Mundy are available also. If your after a smokie this is about as smokie as it gets, don't expect to find him in ANY teams at the start of 2012. Well actually he is in 0.6% of teams.
Could be unique. Would consider him as a backmen... but sorry mate, not as a midfielder ONLY.

Suspended till round 3. So you will have to play Bugg for 2 weeks straight... That is my only concern
Fair point Klankers but have got through week one with a score I am happy with. Just need somewhere near the same again and I have a saved trade and have a cash cow rolling along. Bock was coming in rd 3 or 4 anyway as a keeper. As long as he is named, gets a run etc etc. Just a matter of how a trade is valued really.

2012 Outlook: March 21, 2012
Spurr is a mature aged recruit who has been racking up plenty of possessions for SANFL powerhouse club the Central Districts. The Bulldogs have won plenty of flags over the past decade with Spurr in their side. Spurr averaged 22 possessions and 7 marks a game last season. He has a terrific overhead mark, courageous and knows how to find the ball across half back.
Cash Cow Potential: Still Rookie Listed, but if he is elevated, look out. In the final NAB Cup hitout he played 80% Game Time for 70DT. He looks a real show for Round 1 selection.

If he is promoted and named would be a LOCK. Makes for a great downgrade target if injuries strike and he gets elevated through the season. Mature body bun player who has being involved in 3 GF in the SAFL over the past 4 seasons. One to watch very closely for elevation which would equal great JS once elevated.

Having established himself as a key defender in 2010, Grundy improved even further in 2011, regularly taking on and beating some of the best forwards in the AFL.
Was struck down by glandular fever late in the season, forcing him to miss the round 24 clash against the Brisbane Lions and the club’s two finals.
He still finished second to only Adam Goodes in marks with 110 and is perfectly placed for a long career in the Swans backline.

Unfortunately given the roles and the jobs on players he is given it will likely be more of the 50-60 scores and less of the 80-90 scores. Had a solid preseason and a good game first up in round 1 but will not score so well against tougher opponents in my oppinion. You can do worse but also better.

Only issue is job security game time and number of games, fits into the category of very young small bodies stars that may be rotated and rested and vested. This is why he is not in most teams going around. Greaet player and great cash cow, Green Hoskin-Elliot and Tyson all fit this mold risky picks on JS but solid picks on scoring potential.

Johnson proved one of the great discoveries of the 2011 season and was unlucky not to earn a NAB AFL Rising Star nomination.
Considered a long-term prospect in his first year in Sydney, the key defender was surprised to get his first senior call-up in round three against West Coast.
He played 20 of 22 games following his debut, missing two matches due to minor injuries, and has a tremendous future.
A forward as a youngster, he may see time up the ground as he continues to develop.

Mid Priced Player Rating (DEF) 6.5/10 - Bit harsh but here we have another key defender. Will get much better and score better this season only his 2nd. JS is great he is clearly in the best 22 but does not play a fantasy friendly role. Scored well against the GWS Giants and that is a better score than any from last season. Will likely not score so well against better sides. Would have to say pass, although he will score consistantly and play consistantly he is not likely to make you a lot of cash and certainly won't be a keeper.
I like how all these others are being answered cept mine :S lol.

After claiming the 2010 NAB AFL Rising Star award, Hannebery had a quiet start to 2011.
He found top form through the middle of the season to end the year second at the club in handballs (243), fourth in disposals (497) and seventh in the best and fairest.
Hannebery averaged just under 25 possessions between rounds 13 and 24 before his shoulder troubles resurfaced in the finals.
Had off-season surgery and the courageous midfielder will be hoping to leave his shoulder problems behind him in 2012.
Looms as a future leader.

16 Daniel Hannebery 10 12 22 2 0 1 1 0 0 0 65
Mid Priced Player Rating (MID) 7/10 - Not cheap but not surprising, didn't improve his scoring on his 2010 rising star (SYD) winning season but was solid enough all the same. Has had shoulder surgery over the pre-season late last year and knee surgery this year to boot. Is fit and will/has recovered well from both. A solid hit out in NAB #4 and a quiter game in round 1 against GWS, seeing only 69% TOG for a return of 44 DT points. Should improve this season being his 3rd year should breakout but is a risk at his price and given the slow start and potential of being eased into the season will make a GREAT downgrade/upgrade target if he continues to score poorly for the next few games and can be picked up cheaper before hitting form and increasing his scoring. WATCH.

Never been a great fantasy pick and I will go out on a limb and say he never will be. Think in a great season you can expect a cieling of 70 from him. Hurley coming into form and holding marks will only further limit his crumbing scoring up FWD.

Jonathan Patton is an eighteen-year-old forward from Rowville in Victoria.
With a massive on field presence, speed and an ability to take outstanding contested marks, Jonathan is one of the most exciting young prospects in the AFL whose playing style has been likened to Brisbane great, Jonathan Brown.
Jonathan played his junior football with St Simons and Scoresby before joining the Eastern Rangers in the TAC Cup.
In 2010, he was awarded the best and fairest player award at the Eastern Rangers despite being a bottom age player and was a member of the AIS AFL Academy squad.
In 2011, Jonathan racked up 44 marks and 17 goals in the first six rounds of the TAC Cup competition. This impressive performance earned him a spot in Vic Metro’s winning side in the 2011 NAB AFL Under 18 Championship. Jonathan was a stand out in the national carnival and was named in the forward line of the 2011 Under 18 All Australian squad.
The GWS GIANTS selected Jonathon Patton with their first overall selection in the 2011 NAB AFL Draft.

Rookie Player Rating (FWD) 5/10 - Gun key forward, #1 draft pick, will play this season and when he goes should live up to the hype and be better than he was before the op. Does play a key role however and won't be the best fantasy scorer around I would assume, not too many key position players are and especially not in thier first, second or even 3rd years. Takes time to develop tho that may be accelerated given how good he is naturally. Might make a nice downgrade target mid season when he returns if he scores well his first two games, but at the inflated price of the #1 pick he will likely need to score badly and drop in price in his first couple of games (sub affected?) and then be a suitable pick up.

The disciplined midfielder played every game and lead the AFL in tackles (202), finals included, to emerge in his fourth season as one of the competition’s shutdown specialists. Chris Judd was his biggest scalp in round 14, but he is close to graduating from run-with duties after ranking top five at West Coast for clearances and contested possessions. Is a member of the leadership group.

Played every game scored 3 tons with a high of 114 likely a cieling given his run with role. 6 scores under 90 with a low of 55, overall an extremely consistant year. Improvement in him yet and his scoring could creap up a little more, but not much given his role which will never change. He is simply too good at what he does. But then again will he be a tagger forever?

Mid Priced Player Rating (MID) 7.5/10 - There is talk of him NOT being a tagger and he was on two occassions in NAB CUP given licence to run free. If released from his tagging role he could be a fantasy star, the question is will he be and how often? the answer lies more outside of his control than in it. He is the number 1 pressure player in the comp and who else can do his role at the club as well as he can? On the other side of the equasion IF the likes of Shuey and Masten and Gaff and Stevens step up into silky skilled free running midfielders what need for S Selwood to take on a similar role. Tons of ability and all wasted for fantasy purposes as a tagger. Wouldn't risk starting him but if he scores lowly as a tagger and clearly gets a new role prepare to jump on.

After an exciting junior football career, Kennedy narrowly missed selection in the 2010 Under 18 Carnival for Vic Metro.
Despite being overlooked in the 2010 draft, Kennedy worked hard and was selected in the Vic Metro side in the 2011 National Carnival and was named captain of the Jets.
Kennedy amassed 20 disposals against Western Australia and 19 disposals against South Australia in an impressive carnival performance.

Sheeds will rotate players heavily howeveer as stated in a recent interview after the game he will want at least 6 games into all his players over the season. Not a lot of JS for most Giant rooks but this one is as good as it can be at this early stage. Lock and Load best of the Giants FWD rooks. Even though none of us knew it until NAB #4.

Showed what he can do with a 10 Goal haul against the hapless doggies last season but otherwise was very inconsistant as tall fwds are. Will be a risky pick for this reason adn would suggest avoiding "most" key tall forwards. Looks likely to play round 1 after missing entire NAB CUP with a foot.

Mid Priced Player Rating (MID) 8.5/10 - cheep cheep like a chicken, I read somewhere our friend Whatlez talking him up as a "BIG SMOKIE", well there is one post Whatlez can go back to after 2012 and say "I told you so". Played well right through the nab cup, was clearly best on ground in round 1 v GWS and earnt the medal to prove it. Should improve his average on last season, whether enough to earn a keepers spot in your midfield is the only question. As Mummy gets better at winning taps he will get more ball as he is very good in hard and close around the stoppages. Would have been a brave pick at his price but has started at a score I think is possible for him to average in 2012. Missed the boat or do you have him?

Brave, persistent and poised, Tynan is a good decision-maker who will need to add bulk to his frame. From Garfield, Tynan played above his height as a defender for Gippsland Power, but has the capacity to play on smalls or mediums. A versatile type, he excelled in the 2011 NAB AFL Under-18 Championships for Vic Country and had a good finals series.
Tynan represented Vic Country at the 2011 NAB AFL Under-18 Championships and was the No.1 ranked player for intercept marks across the carnival. He has played 28 games with Gippsland in the past two seasons, averaging the fifth-most rebound 50s and the ninth-most intercept possessions of any player in 2011.

Rookie Player Rating (DEF) 8/10 - Well I must admit he was far from my radar and about just as far from my awareness. A big heart hard at it fearless, words used to describe him by coaching staff, and what might it be that the Dee's need a lot more of! Likely candidate for the vest as he sure needs to add some bulk to his frame but played well enough in NAB CUP and trained well enough in preseason to win over the coaches confidence. Seems to play bigger than he is and can go fwd or back. Nice find certainly not in thier best 22, but since when have the Dee's best 22 been thier best 22.
Thanks mate!

Yeah I'll do them both in detail with break evens for you later tonight.
I would get Kruezer if you were trading this week as he is set for a massive price rise and is the bargain pick, ryder won't change in value so much so getting him in later doesnt hurt you where getting kruezer in later will cost you at least $150K more.
Both will be top ruck scorers this season, plenty of "experts" predicted it of both of them, especially kruezer, but more so for his value.
I can't quiter afford to get kruezer in now for stephensen or i would for my #2 ruck with Mummy, not prepared to trade mummy to him as mummy will also be a top ruckman this season if he doesnt go soft!
The thing with Ryder is he hasn't got to share with 2 other rucks this season so he is going to avg 10 -20 more than last season and that makes him a top option alongside the best 3 or 4. Kruezer is a little less certain but from what he shown so far he is in for a big one

Premium Player Rating (RUCK) 8.5/10 - Killing it this season so far and only better for Hille having gone down, will score tons with ease on his own but unlikely to remain on his own, Bellchambers will see much less of the ruck you would think than he did in 20122 but we can still expect Hille to share ruck duties with Ryder. Ryder playing well fwd marking and kicking goals makes the situation fine if they continue with a 2 ruck setup. Not quite a lock for the elite bracket yet, but only due to the questions of the team structure going fwd. and that too the only reason for the 8.5 instead of 9.

Hi cw. Would trading out Cunningham to move Goodes to midfield bench, replacing him with Stanley.. Then trading out Fyfe for Chapman and swaping Goodes back into FWD after the 1 week ban and putting Chapman on in the mid be a good move?
First bit, definitely. Sounds very good. Cunningham to Stanley, I like (you must have a bit of spare cash!).
Fyfe to Chappy would be a good option in two weeks time, when he's bottomed out. But that can only work if you have good bench cover. Best case scenario, Fyfe doesn't play for the rest of season, put him on bench, wait till Chappy bottoms, then POUNCE!
Smedts could cover fyfes spot if he plays this week... So seriously considering this now.. Thanx for the advice!

I saw your thread, nice bit of work - my question is, Is 91 with a full game with bellchambers a bad score for a ruck?
And as you say hille will be back and bellchambers off to the maggoo's so 100+ scores will roll in again, that said even with bellchambers all year ryder can average 90-100 his form in front of the big sticks is impressive as is his marking.
will there be many premium rucks averaging 100+ do you think ?

Yeah makes sense - chappy stevie J pav cloke martin all will drop serious amounts over the next 3 weeks so picking one up for fyfe when they bottom out is wise.
keep in mind when swinging goodes back to the fwd line you also have the option of bringing in zieball after his next game before his price rise OR better yet fallen mid premiums, thompson will fall a massive amount over the next two weeks nd there are others on the way to big drops redden and rocky risky but will lose a ton of value.
also barlow has a BE of 91 so he won't rise much next round but the round after he could skyrocket so if your interested in him he has to be this week or next.
chappy of all the fwds is the MOST likely to improve so he drops again next round then you probably need to get on before he starts to go back up.
stevie J still scored 60 in the worst game he ever played and is a gun he is the one who will be the biggest drop in price and therefor the most tempting but not DPP so proabably doesnt help you.
if you don't have macdonald from gws he plays his second game this round and if he scores another 100+ and looks impressive you know they need him on the field for every game so at sub $100k it wouldn't be crazt to get him in next week that will give you $300k to upgrade other players and in 4 more weeks it will have made you $300K MORE and you will be able to turn him into any elite mid with the cash you'll have in the bank.
Lots of options. But I think get cunningham out this round whatever you do is wise. Stanley lookes really good so far.

Player Name K H D M HO T FF FA SG G B DT
20 Bradley Hill 4 5 9 3 0 2 0 0 0 1 0 45
Rookie PLayer Rating: (MID) 7/10 - Fast berry berry fast, should be the sub with so much speed but a home debut in Perth it would be cruel, so maybe he starrts on the bench or ground. Job security is a massive concern with the skipper still out I cannot see him getting a lot of games but if he impresses maybe he will, he is however being so small and fast the best candidate for a vest. Apart from speeding and running from the police in Perth seems a mature in a footy sense type of player who is ready for the big league, risky pick on JS, perfect fir for a sluggish hawks midfiled tho with a lot of bigger harder players and no real speeders other than the questionable burgoyne and rioli who would be better used back and fwd anyway.
Prediction - starts sub scores 40 in the final quarter and a bit :) if he gets the ball they won't catch him could kick a goal or two even.

Was game 2 and game 4. 42% and 48% TOG respectively.
Rookie Player Rating (FWD) 7.5/10 - Job security? Hmmmmm, well promoted off the rookie list. WHY? because he is a genuine scoring option for the lions NON-EXISTENT FWD Line. Can take marks contested and will provide an optional target up fwd for the lions. Problem is lately the Lions can't get an inside 50, setting a new record for the least in a game. That's impressive given the two new clubs full of rookies and the lions still manage to be worse! All this plus the rookie elevation, potentially makes this guys job security very good.
However given Voss seems to be still knee jerking like a rookie coach making swaths of changes on a single games performance I wouldn't bank on the job security of any Lions player, Beams for example went from rising star nominee to a quiet game to dropped, so the chances of a rookie elevation holding his spot if he fails to perform maybe very low.
As for the player he is exactly what the lions need, an option that is a proven strong mark and can kick goals. With Black back who we all know is the Lions midfield general the likes of rocky redden and rich will get thier shower together, there should be a significant increase in inside 50's and this guy could be on the end of most of them as Brown Dog will be double teamed and a poorer option to the rookie who shouldn't see as much attention or be given the best defender match up.
Holy shower, did not realise that he is only 85k :o. Might be an ideal downgrade target.
Also can you do Jesse Stringer?

Rookie Player Rating (MID) 7/10 - Not a rookie rook, 21 years old, drafter by Cats in 2009, 2 injury interupted seasons behind him. Kinning it in the magoos, elevated to Cats senior list this week to play, the cats don't elevate rookies they don't intend to play. As injuries grow and as senior players are rested the Cats is one of the safest teams to have rookies from in terms of them getting games. A bit young to call injury prone but had a shocking run so far. Has impressed in 2 preseasons and this years nab cup and further in VFL so when he does play if he makes this weeks cut he looks a good thing and has 3 years on most rooks going round.

DISCUSSION: http://www.fanfooty.com.au/forum/index.php/topic,45259.0.html
Ziebell was North Melbourne’s first round draft selection at the 2008 National Draft, after surprisingly slipping through to pick nine.
A 188cm midfielder, he has excellent skills by foot and is tough in the contest. He has strong leadership skills, and is expected to be a future leader of the North Melbourne Football Club.
Hailing from the Murray Bushrangers, Ziebell was prolific in his team’s TAC Cup premiership and also represented Victoria Country at the NAB Under 18 AFL Championships and gained All-Australian honours.
2011 was the standout year Ziebell had worked towards after his first two seasons were interrupted with two broken legs, one in 2009 and the other in 2010.
After a quiet start to 2011, Ziebell began to find exceptional form in the latter part of the year with his career best match against the Bulldogs in round 17 where he racked up a record 41 disposals.
Draft history: 2008 NAB AFL Draft 1st round selection (North Melbourne) No. 9 overall.

Four goals, 27 touches, in just his 46th game. We've been talking about Jack for some time and yesterday's performance suggests the talking has been worth it. He wasn't alone. Wells is flying and is probably a good early smokie to be second behind Gazza in the Brownlow, while Anthony, Bastinac, Swallow, Atley et al, are in good form. And let's not forget Boomer, like several sides have done this year.

Mid Priced Player Rating (MID) 9/10 - Can't go past him for the money, breakout season LOOMS. Vice Cptain now and in the best shape of his short career, this guy is going to explode. Scored at a rate based on TOG that would have seen him break the ton in both games and came out vs Geelong and scored 139. As the Roos improve so will he, but even if they don't he is in for a big season. Extremely highly rated by insiders and senior players at the club, and based on the formula for breakout midfielders he is due after 2 jalf and a full season this is the breakout year. Get On!

I saw your thread, nice bit of work - my question is, Is 91 with a full game with bellchambers a bad score for a ruck?
And as you say hille will be back and bellchambers off to the maggoo's so 100+ scores will roll in again, that said even with bellchambers all year ryder can average 90-100 his form in front of the big sticks is impressive as is his marking.
will there be many premium rucks averaging 100+ do you think ?
looks like this one goes to me (77 v Carlton), but good points though
Can you do George Horlin-Smith, if not already done?

Outlook
Confirmed his status as a club great last year when he won Geelong’s best and fairest in a premiership year for the second time. It was the cream on the cake for this ice-cool defender, who claimed his third premiership medal and won All-Australian selection for the fourth successive year. The stats back up his season: he led the Cats in kicks (330), marks (144) and loose-ball gets (57). Great overhead and his versatility in defence is a bonus.

Premium Player Rating; (DEF) 8.5/10 - Elite defender, hard and durable one of the safest bets down back again this season, his scoring can be erradic and he can have stinkers but you will not find a more consistant player in defence as far as not missing games over the past 5 years. May get rested as all senior cats will but more likely not to given the defenders get the most rest on the field each week anyway, especially in a top side. Should be on top of your list to bring in given the troubles we have seen in defence already this season you don't want any more so play it safe get this guy.

Yeah solid call on Ryder, I traded him in for Mummy but on your advice NOT for DT, got him in SC where he still managed a 96. You are right on the money with his scoring tho good call.

Outlook
Tough young midfielder who played in the Cats’ 2011 NAB Cup campaign and showed great promise. Suffered a shoulder injury on the eve of the season and did not return until the middle of the VFL season, where he played the last nine games. Was rated highly before the 2010 draft and could be one to watch this season.

Rookie Player Rating (MID) 7/10 - Highly rated, didn't get much TOG in NAB CUP but was still reported as being in great form. Has been awesome in the VFL this season and earned his Senior games as a result. Likely candidate for some vesting but his baby face belies his hardness and in a Cats lineup lacking in contested possessions and intent this guy could become a regular inthe side. No avoiding the fact his age and his position make him highly likely to be vested on many occassions ala christensen in 2011.

Steinberg showed enough in his appearances with the Bendigo Bombers in his first AFL season to suggest he will make his debut in 2012. The medium forward has good hands and an excellent awareness around goal, is a reliable kick and also has some tricks to his game. Will need to develop his fitness and forward pressure before becoming a regular AFL player.

Mark McVeigh (calf) 2-3 weeks
Travis Colyer (thumb) 3 weeks
Alex Browne (hamstring) 3-4 weeks
Jason Winderlich (hamstring) 4 weeks
ON THE BLOCK: James Hird has already forecast multiple changes as the Bombers strive to back up their inspiring win against Carlton for Anzac Day. Hurley’s gone (hamstring), while Ricky Dyson and Kyle Hardingham could also feature on the changes list. The Bombers didn't have too many down against the Blues, selection this week is all about recovery time. Expect promoted rookie Corey Dell’Olio to retain his place after providing a spark in the second half.
ON THE CUSP:
The Bombers pulled their senior men from Bendigo’s VFL hitout on Saturday, so if you were spared the hitout chances are you could be in the mix. Kyle Reimers, Henry Slattery, Luke Davis, Ariel Steinberg and even rookie Mark Baguley fall in that pot. Steinberg is an x-factor forward with a great leap and golden boot who could fill Hurley’s void despite never playing a game, while the versatile Baguley impressed in the NAB Cup and could also be blooded. Courtenay Dempsey is also a chance to return after withdrawing at the last minute against the Blues. Jobe Watson says Travis Colyer is also in the Anzac Day mix despite the club listing him as another three weeks away with a thumb injury.

Rookie Player Rating (FWD) 7/10 - Well hasn't this one flown in under the Radar?medium FWD lead up target takes good grabs and kicks goals readily. Didn't appear in the NAB CUP at all, has been sensational by all reports in the VFL so far this season. Likely to come in to replace Hurley and being the target fwd type he is not likely to be in a vest, tho who can know. Seems he has earned his striped in the VFL and may hold a spot in the side at least until certain injured players return.
QuoteWHO?
Lol, well I guess I know more about him than you do, thanks for the effort though
Saw him in a couple of VFL games last year on ABC and thought he looked a star in the making, should get his chance this week and looks like he could be a real smokey up forward - and his job security could be good if he plays well against the pies!
hey cw. Got a pretty quick question.. Boyd or S.Selwood next week? or another Prem midfielder? (Providing they play in Bye round 11)

The Player - A small forward who fits the mould of the Leon Davis and Cyril Rioli and with his tackling and defensive efforts. The left footer doesn't lack anything for pace, and is quite a compact player who stands only 172cm. As teammate Jarryd Blair has proven, height means little if you have the talent required. On the basis of his performances in the VFL todate, Ugle stands as a strong chance to progress in 2012.
2011
Played in the opening week of the NAB Cup but then spent the year developing for the Magpies in the VFL, playing 16 games and booting 12 goals. Averaged 11.5 disposals and 4.2 tackles per game, and was even held over as an emergency in round 19 against Essendon which indicated how quickly he improved in his first season.
2010
A product of Casey Park in Western Australia, Ugle played for Swan Districts in the WAFL Colts in 2010. His pace was identified as his key weapon at the state screening, and he was snapped up by Collingwood with pick No. 60 in the National Draft.

Remains one of North’s most valuable players, although he will turn 34 in May. No other Kangaroo takes on and breaks opposition lines like he does; in 2011, he took 60 running bounces, fourth in the AFL and 47 more than the next best at North.
He is also one of the Roos’ best ball-users and most reliable goalkickers. Harvey now divides his time between the midfield and forward line and, in 2011, finished equal second at the club for disposals, third for goals, and equal third for goal assists (14). Re-signed for 2012 last August.

Premium Player Rating (FWD) 8.5/10 - Dependable solid safe option, better in SC than in DT becasue generally uses the ball well but sees less of it than other options. Has being ripping in since handing over the captaincy, making sure he has his own game in hand. Wants to play for a lot longer and with the new talent coming through will be playing great footy to keep his career alive. Will get held by the better teams, they will not let him run around getting 40 possessions. He may get more freedom tho with the rise of the north midfield others may cop attention. Solid safe pick, reliable durable and a favourable bye round.

Firrito will become the senior man in North’s back six in 2012 with Brady Rawlings’ retirement at the end of last season.
Firrito’s form may have dropped slightly â€" he finished outside the top-10 in the best and fairest for just the second time in the past seven seasons â€" he still finished fourth at the club for rebound 50s, fifth for one-percenters and ninth for inside 50s.
His ability to man smalls and talls ensures he remains an invaluable player.

Mid Priced Player Rating (DEF) 6.5/10 - I don't rate him but he has come out off a decline in late 2011 to start 2012 really well. Been solid is defence and shown a little run out of defence. Alwys scored as an average defender and likely will again but has started above average this season. Not much news on him becasue no one gives a shower but could be a smoky mid priced backman that could improve his scoring as his team improves. Pass for me. Won't be a keeper.

Introduction
Aaron Cornelius was recruited from Tasmania as a promising forward who is strong on the lead and has very clean hands. He reads the play very well and looks to be an exciting key forward prospect for the Lions' future.
Background
• Cornelius represented Tasmania in basketball as a junior before focussing on his football career with local club Glenorchy.
• He burst onto the scene in the U16’s and was selected to be part of the esteemed AIS/AFL Academy.
• He was considered to have the ‘best pair of hands for his age in Australia’ when he was first selected to represent Tasmania in the 2007 U18 Championships.
• He earned All-Australian honours as a bottom aged player at the 2007 junior carnival and became widely touted a future star of the AFL. Despite his rapidly rising profile, his age restricted him from entering the 2007 National Draft.
• He joined the Tassie Mariners VFL side in 2008 and his form seemed to tread water as he experienced senior football for the first time. He still played a total of 12 matches with the Devils and kicked 19 goals â€" including a bag of four goals against Casey on ANZAC Day.
• He went on to captain Tasmania’s side in the 2008 U18 Championships and stamped himself as a class act with a number of impressive performances.
• Despite being widely touted among the top 30 young prospects in the country, Cornelius lasted until the fourth round of the 2008 National Draft and the Lions had no hesitation in selecting him with their pick No.57.
2009
• The big Tasmanian forward completed his first AFL pre-season and was rewarded with selection in the Club's opening NAB Cup match against St Kilda at Gold Coast Stadium.
• However, he couldn't quite find a spot in the senior side at the start of the regular season as he was in direct competition for a role in the forward line with Captain Jonathan Brown and sharpshooter Daniel Bradshaw.
• He showed plenty of promise with the Reserves side as a forward before being trialled as a potential key defender.
• His apprenticeship in defence earned him his first senior call-up in Round 9 against St Kilda when the Lions lost key backmen Daniel Merrett and Joel Patfull through injury. After a tough battle with Justin Koschitzke in the opening half, Cornelius moved forward and finished with two goals.
• He returned to the AFLQ the following week and played out the remainder of the season with the Reserves.
• He played predominantly forward during the second half of the season and kicked regular bags of goals as the Lions Reserves' focoal point in attack. Cornelius' strong hands in marking contests were certainly a feature of his game.
2010
• Cornelius was regularly among the Lions Reserves' best players in 2010.
• He booted 11 goals from his first four games in the Reserves, including five in Round 4 in the Lions’ win over the Western Magpies.
• He was also instrumental in the Lions’ win over Aspley in Round 9, kicking six goals in a gamebreaking performance.
• Cornelius was rewarded for his consistent efforts in the Reserves with a call-up to the senior side in Round 13, and played a total of five games for the seniors in 2010 after continuing to display outstanding form in the Reserves.
2011
• Cornelius was presented with an early opportunity to play senior football in the first month of 2011 after a long-term injury to Captain Jonathan Brown left the Lions with a void up forward.
• But after totalling just nine disposals and zero goals across two games between Rounds 4-5, he returned to the Lions Reserves to gain some confidence.
• After being initially trialled down back, Cornelius proved that full-forward was his primary position by kicking regular bags of goals and providing headaches for the NEAFL.
• In fact, he rocketed up to second on the NEAFL goal-kicking list after booting 16 goals from three games.
• His form became too hard to ignore, and he was eventually recalled to the senior team for the final six matches, which produced a total of 10 goals - including a career-best haul of four goals against Adelaide in Round 20.
• He finished 2011 with a career-best return of eight AFL games and 10 goals, and still managed to place 5th overall on the NEAFL goal-kicking leaderboard with 46 goals with the Lions Reserves.

Mid Priced PLayer Rating (FWD) 7.5/10 - Looks a very likely target fwd in a below average Lions FWD line. I expect him to become a popular target with Brown being matched up unfavourably and on his past outing looks to be a strong mark and a decent kick for goal. Has struggled to lock himslef into the best 22 for 3 seasons, but seems a likely lock now, plays a role that they desperately need and plays it well. Excellent value one more game we get to see him before his price change so well worth keeping on the radar, needs the lions ruck and clearance players to significantly lift to keep supply up to him in his key fwd role, lets see how they go against a strong side this round as his 91 came against a weak one.

Drummond if fit will always score well, he is the link up guy and they rely on him heavily out of defense when he is there he will see plenty of it.
Poor injury record but while fit a very good scorer.

DISCUSSION: http://www.fanfooty.com.au/forum/index.php/topic,51535.0.html
Sam Reid is a 22-year-old medium sized midfielder was a member of the AIS/AFL Academy and was noted as one of the All-Australian team’s most valuable players during the squad’s South African tour in 2007.
Reid was selected by the Bulldogs with pick 35 in the 2007 Draft and made his debut in 2008 against the Adelaide Crows.
Unfortunately due to injury set backs Reid was unable to cement his position in the senior side, playing 10 games for the Bulldogs.
Silvagni said the inclusion of Reid to the young GIANTS list would add the required size and strength the club was looking for.
“Sam is 22 years old and he certainly has the potential to have a long career ahead of him. Unfortunately he has had some terrible luck when it comes to injury, which has slowed his career.
“He’s an inside midfielder who can play half back or half forward. He’s the type of player we need that is a little bit older than our new draftees and we believe he can bring with him a hardness and leadership that we need in our playing group.â€

Rookie Player Rating (MID) 8/10 - Mature Player, several years outside the best 22 at the Doggies, should get a regular spot in the GWS lineup, not sure what held him out until now, but A'halpins season ending injury only helps to firm up his JS being a mature player. Not a lot of games to make him a senior player but a lot longet at a club and around the game, should be utilised to shore up the youthful GWS lineup. Was subbed ON in second game but had 17 possessions in his first in round 5. Expect steep improvement, on the bubble if named consider, most will pass him up for Horsley or Adams but maybe the older body is a safer bet?

Rookie Player Rating(DEF/MID) 7/10 - (much higher rating if not a rookie) Dominating in the VFL, cannot get a promotion to debut for the bombers, Del'ollio got the gig ahead of him. Needs to be elevated as mentioned as is still on the rookie list, has been exceptional in the VFL named BOG on multiple occassions. As soon as and IF he debuts upon promotion he will be one to snap up. Not like we are spoilt for options in DEF.

Courageous, athletic and hard at the contest, the 188cm forward is still a work in progress. Named as an emergency in the final two rounds of the 2011 season, he is getting closer to making his senior debut. Had a stellar pre-season, adding muscle and impressing on the training track. Young’s foot skills are one of his strengths.

Rookie Player Rating (FWD) 6.5/10 - JS a real concern, the kid has talent and is likely to get game time given the drop in effort from fellow port players. Has been going very well in the SANFL and earnt his senior games as a result. On the bubble and a low BE very hard to get on at this stage given the uncertainty of JS and the availability of Adams from GWS, a couple more sub affected games and low price rises may see him a viable downgrade target in 2 or 3 rounds.

McInnes was West Coast’s second pick at the 2011 NAB AFL Draft (No. 28 overall). A 196cm key forward with good skills and strong hands, he missed the NAB AFL Under-18 Championships through injury but impressed with his work-rate and consistency with WAFL club Perth, breaking into the senior team for the last game of the season. Is the nephew of former Eagles Michael Brennan and Robert Wiley.

Mid Priced PLayer Rating (MID/FWD) - Selectable as a FWD this season, Power is looking like a keeper for the FWD line. has made a big impact since going to the Giants and with Ahailpin out he will be rested less than he might have been before. Definately scoring better against the weaker teams. Can see him averaging in the 80's to potentially the 90's. Depending on how much time he gets in the midfield will ultimately detmine his average, played all his career as a midfielder that goes FWD. Can't see him going backwards from here but he will get some rest throughout the season, but then who won't?

Rookie Player Rating (FWD/MID) 9.5/10 - I could go on forever, mature aged, afl ready, club says ready to go round 1, his skills say a cross between sucklings kicking and a typical mid/fwd body and skillset. LOCK.
Re- assment as requested....
Re-assessed Rating 9/10 !
I don't change anything previously stated, he is going to be a SUPER STAR.
Here's some more info, that his sub effected game in a team that had it tough against the Pies near thier best who won the ball in most contests and turned the ball over relatively little.
I was at the game and the only Lion that scored well was Redden and that's because the kid can tackle and just NEVER gives up the contest.
Introduction
A quick and gutsy midfielder, Dayne Zorko dominated the local Queensland competition for a number of years before getting his chance at an AFL career. He has the pace, skill and determination to either run through the middle, or even provide an effective small forward option.
Background
• Originally from Surfers Paradise, Zorko Captained Queensland's U18 side in 2007, but was overlooked at the AFL National Draft.
• He joined Broadbeach's senior QAFL side as an 18 year-old and made an immediate impact with the Cats by winning the Club's Best & Fairest award.
• He went on to win four successive Broadbeach Best & Fairest awards and Captain Queensland's U21 side - but repeatedly failed in his attempt to find his way onto an AFL list.
• But an outstanding season in the NEAFL, which culminated in him winning the 2011 Syd Guildford Trophy as the Football Record Player of the Year, put Zorko back on the AFL recruiters' radar.
• Arguably most significant was his brilliant four-goal performance in Queensland’s narrow loss to Western Australia which also netted him the Zane Taylor Medal as best afield.
• He also finished just one vote shy of securing the 2011 Grogan Medal - which incidentally, was his third top 10 finish in the competition's highest individual honour across the past four seasons.
• Zorko was eventually snapped up by the Gold Coast SUNS as a Queensland Priority Selection, before then being on-traded to the Brisbane Lions in exchange for Pick No.34 in the 2011 AFL National Draft.

This guy should be in the Lions Best 22 every day of the week and he can play, wait another week to see how he goes, but it's more about his JS and VEST avoidablity not about his ability to play.
Broadbeach would be spewing haha ;D

Yeah your right, hopefuly now with the Suns and Giants zone selections and the amount of players they have taken out of the NEAFL, maybe recruiters from down south will look more closely at our talent up here...

I can either trade out Ellis for another rookie defender or move Smedts to defence and get another rookie forward...
Who should I be looking at bringing in? Already have Spurr (def), Treloar (fwd), Adams (fwd) and Hall (fwd)..
Which rookies are likely to get game time?
Thanks for the re-assessment. Was uncertain about getting him in next week because he only scored 26 in a half, but that re-affirmed by confidence in him. Cheers.

Might be worth waiting a week, but if he gets a full game this round vs GWS could SLAY as windy would say.. :)
Problem for me is I have TOO MANY round 11 bye rooks in FWD and MID so I simply cannot get him without accepting another donut in round 11.

Have a look at this below and consider what you plan to do about the byes, if league you can write off the bye rounds and trade simply for the best players at the best time, if your going for overall score you MUST start to consider the byes.
http://www.fanfooty.com.au/forum/index.php/topic,59265.0.html
Not a lot on the bubble at the moment, nothing in defence if you already have Spurr, I would move smedts back bring in a fwd rook in Zorko or Miles if he is named is a mid but you may be able to move a mid rook fwd to smedts spot and bring miles into the mids. Miles if named is a gun not sure why he has missed last few games scored near on a ton and averaged over 100DT points per game in the neafl last season.
Don't trade Ellis out, he may slip up to $20k max but he will make it back up fast and another 50 - 100k on top once he goes back to full games, reckon he was just being rested and had done everything right until being the sub. Mind you if not named this week may have to re-assess but making only 100k off a rook is a little dissapointing.
BOOTSMA and the others i'll get done tomorrow afternoon for you sorry busy... work kids bla....
I can tell you it may not mean he gets games but the Blues faithfull have adopted him as a cult hero and he is the new version of the KRUUUUUUUUZE effect.
Was a lot of fun listening to the crowd that game every time he got it they went nuts saying his name, kid must have been so damn excited

The Crows identified Jenkins as a trade-week priority after losing ruckman Ivan Maric to Richmond, as well as key-position players Jack Gunston (Hawthorn), Phil Davis (Greater Western Sydney) and Scott Stevens (retired). A deal was reached in the dying minutes of the AFL exchange period, with Adelaide agreeing to send pick No.31 to Essendon in exchange for the untried rookie. The 197cm basketball convert had a strong 2011 season playing in the ruck with Essendon’s VFL affiliate, Bendigo and also has the capacity to play in attack or defence.

So in short he has played 2 games and played well, was an in for suspendedHendersen I think from memory and will be fighting with not only him but also Walker when he returns. Very risky job security but may hold his spot. @nd most traded in rook this week in both SC and DT.
Rookie Player Rating (RUCK) 7/10 - given his 2 scores and his break even should be a 9 out of ten but -2 for job security issues. Pity he didn't debut after the byes so he could become Giles replacement for the bench once we all have 2 premiums for the field. While Walker and Tippett are fit his JS is shake so be wary of bringing him in for any reason other than to hopefuly get a few more games out of him and the cash he will make you.

An athletic midfielder with terrific natural leap and marking ability. Can play in a range of positions and had an excellent year with the Oakleigh Chargers, finishing fourth in the best and fairest. Has a basketball background with the Bulleen Boomers, which has helped develop his decision-making and clean ball-handling.
Draft history: 2011 NAB AFL Draft 3rd round selection (Western Bulldogs) No. 49 overall.

Rookie Player Rating (MID) 7.5/10 - Will debut as a running defender and likely to impress if given a full game, vest is a possibility but I think they might use him from the start as they will need the run out of defence against the Cats this week.
Pearce played 23 games with Oakleigh Chargers in the TAC Cup across the past two seasons, averaging 17 disposals, seven contested possessions, four marks and two clearances per game. His role changed halfway through last season as he averaged 14 disposals and four marks per game as a running defender from Rounds 1-10, moving into the midfield from Round 11 onwards and averaging 21 disposals, five marks and five inside 50s per game.
Looking at the JS of Clay Smith you have to wonder if Pearces will be any better. Sure looks like a player tho I think getting games into him is a MUST this season, some games, how many?

Coad was signed as a mature-age recruit for the 2010 VFL season, but a collision that caused bleeding of the kidney and broken ribs cruelled that season.
After two senior games in 2011, a severe hamstring tear brought him down again.
Despite two injury-interrupted seasons, the 28-year-old has been retained on the GC SUNS rookie list.
A rugged defender who plays above his height.
Considered somewhat of a superstar in the SANFL â€" he finished second in Sturt’s best and fairest in 2009 â€" Coad has been connected with a number of AFL clubs at various stages of his career, but until now no one had taken a chance on the supremely fit mature-aged utility.

However, luckless defender Michael Coad will be forced to undergo surgery on his thumb after sustaining the injury playing in the reserves last weekend.
The busted thumb follows a severe hamstring problem that sidelined the mature-age rookie for most of 2011, while bleeding of the kidney and broken ribs cut short his 2010 season in the VFL with the Suns.
Rookie Player Rating (DEF) 7/10 - Mature aged can play will play, when he gets his broken thumb operated on and fixed. Pass him up obviously until he has played his second game, not looking like being available until well after the byes now.

Age: 23yr 3mth Games: 29 Born: February 5, 1989

Introduction
A creative and versatile player hailing from Western Australia, James Hawksley is a medium-sized midfielder/defender who has wonderful foot skills and a great understanding of the game. With senior experience under his belt, he can now expect to push for a more regular senior position.
Background
• Hawksley played most of his junior football with Safety Beach where he won three Best and Fairest awards before moving to Mandurah Centrals after U13s where he won a further two Best and Fairests. He later played with Peel Thunder in the WAFL.
• He was also a skilled cricketer as a junior but decided to pursue a football career as it provided greater opportunities.
• He was an AIS/AFL Academy graduate who represented Western Australia at both the U16 and U18 level where he impressed national scouts.
• He was also a member of the Australian team that took on the Irish in the U17 International Series in Perth and was named among the team’s best players.
• Highly touted prior to the 2006 AFL National Draft, Hawksley was snapped up by the Brisbane Lions with their fourth round selection (Pick No.38 overall).
• Hawksley was allocated the number 12 guernsey which had famously been worn by Brownlow Medallist Jason Akermanis before he was traded to the Western Bulldogs at the end of 2006.
2007
• Like the majority of draftees, the thinly built first-year player began his debut season with the Suncoast Lions where he impressed playing in a variety of roles both on the wing and across half-back.
• He ruptured a tendon in his finger during a training drill midway through the season which forced him to miss the final nine matches of the AFLQ season.
• As he was unable to participate in any training drills due to his hand cast, Hawksley spent time recovering back home with his family in Western Australia.
2008
• After some impressive displays for the Suncoast Lions early in the season, Hawksley earned a call-up for his first senior match in Round 11 against the Fremantle at the Gabba.
• He experienced little game time during his debut performance against the Dockers and was sent back to the Club’s reserves side the following week.
• He returned to the senior team in Round 19 against Hawthorn at Aurora Stadium in Tasmania and showed poise beyond his years playing across half-back.
• He retained his spot for the three consecutive senior matches including an exciting performance against the Western Bulldogs in Round 20 when he collected 17 disposals and took four marks in defence.
• He was omitted for the side’s final match against Sydney at the SCG but finished the season with valuable experience in four senior matches.
2009
• Hawksley started the 2009 season playing with the Lions Reserves side where he remained one of their key players. He played predominantly on the half-back line and his clean skills and cool head under pressure were highlights of his performances.
• He was regularly among the Reserves' best but didn't crack it for a senior game until Round 18 against Collingwood at the MCG. Although the Lions lost heavily to the Magpies, Hawksley's effort was one of few shining lights in an otherwise disappointing outing.
• He became a regular fixture of the senior side and played the final five matches of the home-and-away season.
• He was unlucky to be omitted from the senior team on the eve of the Finals, but was given a late call-up after Josh Drummond failed to complete a fitness test. He played in both of the Lions' 2009 Finals to take his career games tally to 11.
• He averaged 12.6 disposals across seven matches in 2009 and gained more valuable senior experience.
2010
• Hawksley quickly proved himself as a valuable defender in the Lions Reserves, and was called to the senior side early in the season to take on Port Adelaide in round 3.
• He was a regular on the list from this point on, playing 10 of the next 11 games before returning to the reserves in round 14.
• He returned to the senior side for his final game for the Lions in 2010 against Geelong in round 17.
• Across these 11 games, he impressed with his versatility and collected an average of 16 disposals per game.

Hawksley struggled to make an impact on the Lions side until Round 16, where he played six of the last eight games across half back. He has played 28 games in four seasons. Hawksley needs to walk the walk in 2012 and establish himself as a regular senior player or may struggle to remain on the Lions list at the end of the season. 2012 is a very important season in the career of Hawksley, he needs to take his chances with both hands.
http://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/afl/another-painful-lesson-for-embattled-young-lions-20120513-1ykcj.html
Mid Priced Player Rating (DEF) 7.5/10 - I rate him high, for a couple of reasons, in his only game so far he topped 20 possessions. Also he is definately playing for his carreer, if he gets opportunities this season he should TAKE them. He will also see plenty of it in the Lions back line. Job security the big risk here.
Should play again this week and should keep playing, will have to play well or see other players injured to hold his spot tho you would think. Definately been on the fringe for a few seasons now.

Rebounding defender with good closing speed and long, penetrating kick. Team orientated and spoils well. Makes very good decisions, taking the right option with the ball. His 2.98 seconds for 20m at the National Draft Combine showed his natural speed. Father Brad played at Fremantle.

Rookie Player Rating (DEF) 6/10 - I think he is underdone and not yet ready for the top level of AFL football Carlton will be aiming for from it's group. He may see more games with Murphy out if he comes in to plug a gap left by Gibbs or Robinson who might move into the midfield. Still wouldn't count on it. Think he needs a fair few more VFL games to come into serious consideration for the AFL side, may get more games when the Blues hit form and come up against weeker sides, not what you want in a rook, pass for now.

Darley update?
:)
Originally an outside player, Sam Darley has progressed into an impressive tough midfielder who won Tasmania's most valuable player award at the 2009 NAB AFL Underâ€16 Championships, averaging 28 disposals, 10 handball receives, six marks and 17 uncontested possessions per match †all ranked number one at the carnival.
In 2010 he played 11 matches at League level for North Hobart and was named in the best players six times.
At the 2010 NAB AFL Underâ€18 Championships he played all five matches with his performances all elite. He averaged 25 disposals, 12 handballâ€receives, 18 uncontested possessions, four rebound and four inside 50s per match. He was subsequently awarded the Hunter Harrison Medal for the best player in division two and was also named in the 2010 NAB AFL U18 All Australian team.

Got him in for Bugg myself this week. Paid for me to turn Greene into Ablett. Will be keeping him for cover year long now.

Introduction
West Australian Elliot Yeo proved a standout at the 2011 AFL Draft Combine, particularly in the agility, standing vertical jump and 20m sprint tests. His speed is supplemented with good skills on both sides of his body.
Background
• Originally from Attadale JFC, Yeo quickly became a key member of the East Fremantle Colts' side in 2011, averaging more than 22 disposals per game and finishing third in the club's Best & Fairest award.
• He was selected to represent Western Australia at the NAB AFL U18 Championships and averaging 14 disposals as a medium defender throughout the Carnival.
• He was a standout at the NAB AFL Draft Combine, being the quickest in the agility run (7.80 seconds), having the best standing vertical jump with a score of 78cm and running 2.91 seconds for the 20m sprint, showcasing his athletic ability.
• Yeo entered the Draft highly rated by the Lions, and the Club took little time in snapping him up when he was still available at Pick No.30 overall.
What Lions National Talent Manager Rob Kerr says...
"He's got plenty of development in front of him. With a couple of years in the system he could develop into a good wing/half-forward/half-back - a bit (Nathan) Fyfe-like we think."
"Graham Hadley identified him early and brought him to our attention. He looks young and is still developing."
East Fremantle Football Manager Damien Gaspar says...
"This year was his first full year of Colts footy. Played across half back and wing and proved to very proficient with his skills."
"He's more of an outside player who finishes well."
What AFL National Talent Manager Kevin Sheehan says...
"Elliot Yeo was a standout at the NAB AFL Draft Combine, being the quickest in the agility run (7.8 seconds), having the best standing vertical jump with a score of 78cm and running 2.91 seconds for the 20m sprint, showcasing his athletic ability."
"He represented Western Australia at the NAB U18 Championships, averaging 14 disposals as a medium defender."
"He is a speedy defender who shows good run and carry. He also uses the ball well on both his right and left side."

Rookie Player Rating: (MID) 7.5/10 - job security an issue, bure here he is debuting. Played ok in the first half, an outside midfielder has great athleticism and knows how to find the footy (uncontested) Racked up plenty of possessions in the WAFL but mainly uncontested. Not a big tackler or hard ball getter. More a Rockliff than a Redden and I think the Lions need more Reddens myself (Zorko - 6 tackles at 3/4 time).
awesome effort cw cheers m8 ;D need to side trade couch in rd12 to a rd11 rookie to avoid the dreaded donut, will have treloar cover aswell so think ill pick him up after that info could get an extra game or two

Playing a difficult ‘Mr Fixit’ role in 2011 as his team’s injury toll mounted, and struggled for form and confidence as a result. Has played his best football as a forward and back-up ruckman, but can also fill a spot in defence if needed. Reads the play well, is skilful and could still improve significantly if given the opportunity to make a position his own.

Premium PLayer Rating (DEF/FWD) 8.5/10 - In form and in a DT friendly role, Lyons has backed him in and he has taken his opportunity with both hands, after the coke incident in 2010 and a form slump in 2011 while playing in no fixed role he has bounced back in 2012 and is thriving. Ranked second in the entire comp for total marks he racks up possessions accross half back and uses his feet instead of his hands on most occassions. Would have been a great pick at the start of the season but even now at the premium price is one of the best defenders available. Only injury could/should change his scoring rate as his role won't change now.

The Player - Small forward with incredible strength and speed. Marks unbelievably well for his size. His style of play has seen comparisons drawn with Paul Medhurst and Stephen Milne. Has impressed with his tackling and defensive work in attack.
2011
Played as a top-age player for the Murray Bushrangers in the U18s. Kicked 10 goals in his five games for the Bushrangers and impressed with his forward pressure while playing for Vic Country in the U18 National Championships.
Was pre-listed by Greater Western Sydney and was traded to Collingwood along with Martin Clarke and draft selection No. 67 in exchange for pick No. 25. Travelled to Arizona as part of Collingwood’s high altitude training camp late in the year.
2010
Played for the Murray Bushrangers in the TAC Cup 18s, and played two matches for Collingwood’s VFL team as a top-up player (against Box Hill and North Ballarat) in the middle of the season.

The Player - Played 13 Colts games and two league games for Claremont in 2011. Represented WA at the NAB AFL Under 18 Championships, catching the eye with his ability to break the lines, along with his evasiveness and long left foot kicking. He is a good player one-on-one, and impressed with his attack on the ball when he stepped up into the WAFL seniors.
2011
Moved from Albany to Perth in January and played for the Claremont Colts for most of the year. Managed two senior matches for Claremont where he impressed with his hardness and attack on the ball. Represented Western Australia in the U18 National Championships where he averaged 16.3 disposals and impressed with his long left foot kicks.

Marley Williams
Derek Hine has a rich history of plucking gems from the deepest waters in the rookie draft and he may have found another one in 18-year-old Western Australian Marley Williams. It’s only early days, but the 35th selection in the 2012 Rookie Draft has made a terrific start to his AFL career.
Starting as the substitute in the first match of the competition, Williams was quickly summed into action when Brent Macaffer left the ground with a ruptured ACL. He kicked two long goals and appeared conditioned to the hustle and bustle of senior football.
In three matches, Williams has won 18 disposals with the excellent efficiency of 83.3%, ranking him alongside Simon Buckley (24 disposals), Martin Clarke (six), Michael Hartley (12) and Luke Rounds (six) as the most accurate player at the club by hand and foot.
He has shown an appetite for the contest, winning 11 of his 18 disposals in the contest, as well as recording three clearances and three tackles. Williams’ differential between contested and uncontested possessions is one of the highest at the club. Only senior regulars Alan Toovey (16 contested and seven uncontested) and Chris Dawes (10 contested and four uncontested) have returned stronger contested figures.
Rookie PLayer Rating (MID) 6/10 - Again and even more so than Elliott, Williams job security is poor, with pendles to return I don't see how he stays in the side unless he is in for Didak rather than Elliott. Kid has shown plenty tho and should play more senior games this season, didn't stop me downgrading to him last week, options were far from plentiful. With Gibson to debut this week for North and potentially Morabito back soon, Williams may be too risky to pick. Still should play more games as required and possibly when the matches are easy and senior pies get rested.

Duryea is a natural-born small forward but he could not break into the Hawthorn side in his second year at the club. He struggled to find the goals in his 12 games with the Box Hill Hawks and then ankle injury brought his season to a premature end. He is currently behind Luke Breust in the pecking order for a game in the senior side and he will have to work hard to move ahead of the 'super-sub'.

Duryea plays in the forward line and has had serious trouble with durability over the years. He is a talented player, with a terrific ball winning ability, but can't seem to stay on the field. He finished up early in 2011, for an operation, to ensure he has a full pre-season.
Yet to play a senior game with Hawthorn, Duryea suffered an ankle injury last year that saw him struggle to break into the senior side. Coming to the Hawks from the Murray Bushrangers in 2009, the left-footer has been playing with Box Hill in both the seniors and reserves. He was listed as an emergency in the first five rounds of the season but was unable to make the starting 22.
If he can stay on the park, he may get an opportunity later in the season, but is still behind Luke Breust.
Rookie Player Rating (FWD) 6/10 - Another case of on the fringe and uncertain job security, playing well in the VFL but not outstanding, injury intrepted season last year after an ordinairy season to boot. Is a great kick and the Hawks love that. Should get some senior action soon but cannot see him holding a spot without significant injury at the hawks.

Introduction
Brad Harvey is an athletic half-back who excelled at the 2010 AFL Draft Combine in the sprint and leap tests. Since arriving at the Lions via the 2010 AFL Rookie Draft, he has undergone a significant development program with the Lions Reserves in a bid to make his senior AFL debut.
Background
• Harvey went to school at Yarra Valley Grammar in Victoria and caught the attention of AFL recruiters with some eye-catching performances with the Eastern Ranges U18 side in the TAC Cup competition.
• His performances proved good enough for selection in Victoria Metro's team for the 2010 U18 Championships.
• At the 2010 AFL Draft Combine, Harvey proved a standout in the athletic testing. He ranked first in standing vertical leap (75cm), equal first in running vertical jump (88cm), second in the 20m sprint (2.78 sec) and second in repeat sprints (23.46 sec).
• He was surprisingly overlooked at the 2010 AFL National Draft, but was invited to join Melbourne's pre-season training squad.
• However, it was the Lions who handed Harvey an opportunity by selecting him with Pick No.13 in the 2010 AFL Rookie Draft.
2011
• Harvey finished second behind Todd Banfield in the Club's pre-season speed testing, but like most Lions Rookies, started his career with the Club's Reserves side in the local NEAFL competition.
• He had a solid start to the season playing on a wing and across half-back, before being trialled on bigger forward opponents in a key back role.
• He also showed that he embodied a great deal of courage following a head-on collision with Gold Coast's Karmichael Hunt which resulted in a swollen eye. “Neither of them took a backward step, we were really proud of Brad for that,†Reserves Coach Nathan Clarke said.
• It proved an educational first season in the AFL, where he played a total of 16 NEAFL matches and gained valuable experience in a variety of roles.

Rookie Player Rating (DEF/MID) - 6.5/10 - very young not exactly a prime candidate to be considered AFL ready. However very quick and would provide great run and carry and has been kicking goals in the seconds, has limited opportunity in a healthy lions team but injury or form could see him force his way in. Has kicked 5 goals in his last 2 NEAFL games.

Hey im looking for a Ruck upgrade for giles and looking at
Jeff White
Shaun Rehn or
Rhett Biglands
Which one will be the best pick?
Your top 300 and you're going to upgrade Giles to one of these three ruckmen?
Perhaps have a look at a ruckman that is on an AFL list instead you idiot ::)
Thanks Colli, great work as usual
just one more that ive noticed is Brett O'Hanlon from Rich. Only scored 30odd last week but started as sub.
Do you know much about him?
Tom swift LOL
Thanks for M.Johnson Colli, much appreciated. Told me all I needed to know for my last defensive keeper.

Dylan Orval Please Colli
trading ellis this week and need a d9 to sit next to shaw can you do shaun edwards thanks cw
I didn't see anyone ask for this guy, but he's a jet and one of the best pick of the year.
Shane Tuck.
I feel like I'm going to go on an ask for many not asked. But don't have to do them if you don't want to.
Shane Edwards, Matthew Boyd, Matthew Watson, Ben Reid, Scott D. Thompson, Mark Whiley, Jay Schulz, Sam Schulz, Robert Murphy, Brian Lake, Nic Naituni, Thomas Murphy, Ben Stratton, Chad Cornes, Callum Ward, Addam Maric, Shaun Grigg, Chris Newman.
Well heaps more and don't bother really.
Just would like to see Boyd, Scott D. Thompson and Nic Nat
If long can start playing games he will be a good pick up, but he will need a lot to go right for him to play, including being upgraded to the senior list
can you do Jackson Merrett please?
Alex Browne?

#45 Richmond Tigers
Age: 18yr 11mth Games: 2 Born: July 17, 1993
Height: 189cm Weight: 87kg Position: Forward

A competitive forward who kicked
33 goals for the Dandenong
Stingrays last year. The Tigers
were taken with his smarts and ability to
read the play and make good decisions. Will
take time to develop.
The Tigers, who had pick nine overall, of the 11 selections on offer, opted for the 18-year-old from TAC Cup team Dandenong Stingrays.
O’Hanlon, 189cm and 87kg, had an excellent season, impacting strongly for Dandenong as a medium-sized forward and forcing his way into the Vic Country team at the under-18 national championships.
Get your Christmas shopping done at the Tigerland Superstore. There's everything a true Tiger fan could want!
“Brett is a lead-up forward, who is a strong contested mark and a penetrating left-foot kick. He’s a competitive player, who will always give you a contest and tackle with intent. And, he’s also a smart player, who reads the ball well and makes good decisions once in possession,†said Richmond’s recruiting manager Francis Jackson.
“We are pleased to add Brett to the playing group and feel that, although he is early in his development phase, he has the scope to become a quality AFL player.â€

Rookie PLayer Rating (FWD) 6/10 - Not exactly AFL ready a lot of developing to do but a star at the junior level, worth a look if he looks to secure a spot in the side but that seems unlikely especially towards the bussiness end of the season.

I thought Schulz, Whitley and nic nat were pretty reasonable, same as Scott Thompson...
Two are on the bubble, nic nat has shown a new level and Scott has had some good games this year.

2012 So Far: Average of 84.9 and only cracking a ton once. But so far in supercoach only dropped below 100 once.
Past Averages:

2011: 75.1
Premium Player Rating: 8/10 - More of a supercoach pick. Only on the way up. Will one day get you 100+ every game and get it consistently but at the moment only a Supercoach Pick in my mid. Good Pick but I would get Ivan Maric or Dean Cox over him or maybe Mumford in a couple of weeks.

History:
No games
Fantasy Freako Says: Merrett averaged 24 disposals per game with the Geelong Falcons in the TAC Cup last season, winning more than 30 disposals 3 times. A quick and hard running midfielder, he was able to provide a link option in the midfield by averaging 16 uncontested possessions and 6 marks a game. He averaged 16 disposals per game in his 3 appearences with Vic Country at the 2011 NAB AFL Under-18 Championships and attended the 2011 NAB AFL Draft Combine, ranking highly in the 10 and 20m sprints
Not going to have an impact straight awayRookie Priced Player: 6/10 - This kid can find the ball and will one day I reckon will be a Dreamteam Gun but with Essendon's current midfield I don't expect him to play. I would personally stay away until he is named. If he is named for 2 weeks in a row go for him but until then I would stay away

He was named as the sub in both matches in the AFL
May get more opportunities this year. Watch his Preseason formRookie Priced Player: 7.5/10 - JS is questionable but may see some games until late year and will score you alright points. Scoring range is only 40-60 at the most. I would expect him to get some games soon but I wouldn't jump on unless you MUST downgrade.

At the stoppages Tuck averaged more than 4 clearances per game - ranked second at the club - and was the second-best combining with the Richmond ruckmen
Appears to be a depth player so you wouldn't pick him. But I hope to see him more this seasonPremium Priced Player: 9/10 - Well done if you picked him at the start of the year. Well and truly deserves a spot in your midfield and is a great POD. Great season by the man and good on him. Pick him he is a Gun plain a simple no questions asked

Fantasy Freako Says: Boyd won his second B&F award last season, maintaining his status as an elite ball-winner and ranking No.1 in the competition for disposals, contested possessions ans clearances. He also ranked No.1in the league for total metres gained and inside 50s/Rebound 50s but needs his kicking as he recordedthe second lowest kick rating of the 17 midfielders to average 25 disposals. Boyd applied the 3rd most tackles at the club and fourth for most pressure acts, but only 12% of the pressure acts resulted in a turnover, the third lowest percentage of a top 20 pressure act players at the club. He dominated at the stoppages, winning 68 more clearences of any other teammate, but was only able to generate 21% of these into a score-the fourth lowest percentage of the top 25 clearence winners in the competition.
Has produced elite numbers for two years running. No signs of dropping ofPremium Player Rating: 9.9/10 - Gun. Lock him into your midfield if you don't have him as he does the lot.

Rookie Priced Player: 7/10 - This kid can definately find the footy. Watching the Richmond v GWS his first quarter was great. JS is very questionable I would expect him only to get games when the other kids are rested. Should get you around 40-50 points a game if he is not the sub and will play I reckon about once every 3 to 5 weeks. Alright downgrade targets but there should be better options down the track with Couch, Clifton and Morbaito still yet to play this year

Video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=IDTjAwYKn78
Murray is a creative forward with very good disposal both when having a shot and when passing the football. His willingness for the contest and ability to find space out of nowhere has seen Newman rotated into the midfield where he has had success winning the football and bursting out of packs.
He represented WA at the NAB AFL U18 Championships. He played in four games, averaging 20 disposals. He used the ball very well and linked up showing good run. Is a team-oriented player who loves to get in and under to get the contested footy.
Rookie Priced Player Rating: 7.5/10 - This kid has ALOT of talent and can win alot of ball. Has had expierence in the WAFL so he is slightly better prepared than some other rookies. Only negative is his JS. I find it hard to put him in West Coast's Midfield most weeks as long as Priddis, Selwood, Shuey, Kerr, Masten and Gaff in there and also that Tom Swift and Koby Stevens can't get consistent game time

www.youtube.com/watch?v=BvvErdm82Qs
Todd Elton is an AIS-AFL Academy graduate from Vic Country and is exactly the sort of forward/second ruckmen clubs look for at the moment.
Elton is capable of playing the key forward role as a marking player or Nick Riewoldt style with superior endurance/work rate to his opponents. Like Riewoldt though it would be nice to see him convert a greater percentage of his opportunities.
When playing on the ball Elton really adds something to the midfield. At ground level he’ll compete and tackle whilst also using his speed and endurance to collect plenty of disposals. In the actual ruck contests his size and leap allow him to compete well.
Rookie Priced Player Rating: 6.5/10 - I think I will pass up on this one. I rate him highly but KPP's take time and Elton will be no exception. He will score well as a Ruck but I don't think he will have much time in the Middle as long as Maric is around. Will be a gun but I would stay away for now

Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cjZ5YofJ56Q
Murdoch is a seriously exciting prospect, he plays most of his football up forward but can slip into the midfield or play loose man in defence as the team requires.
What makes Murdoch such an exciting prospect is his combination of height strength and speed, it allows him to add that extra dimension to most forward lines which are usually made up of players who have one or the other.
Don’t assume Murdoch is just an athlete playing football either; he has sure hands and neat skills which allow him to kick goals or hit up team mates regularly.
Rookie Priced Player Rating: 7/10 - This kid is going to be a gun. Should have gone further up in the draft but anyway. I believe that he will be getting games like Jordan Schoder, George Horlin-Smith and Lincoln Macarthy have this year. I highly doubt he will play more than 5 games I just think Geelong are getting some expierence under his belt as the veterans will be retiring soon. I wouldn't get him this year but I probably will in a couple of years time!

(http://mm.afl.com.au/Portals/0/images_adelaide/Orval_headshot_NEWS.jpg)
VIDEO: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kf7ATSssWWU
A promising junior forward, Orval slipped through to Adelaide’s second pick (No.23 overall) in last December’s Rookie Draft after spending much of the 2011 season recuperating from a knee reconstruction. At 190cm and 80kg, the former Caulfield Grammar student is an excellent overhead mark and a booming kick. Orval is the son of former Collingwood player, Mark.

Rookie Player Rating: (FWD) 5.5/10 - Tall forward, may be mobile but still likely to develop as a KPP and as such is probably not going to set the fantasy world on firs any time soon. Has a knee injury and as of last week listed as 5-6 weeks away yet. One to watch for 2013 but still in the Crows forward line spots seem VERY hard to come by.

After being overlooked in the draft as a teenager, McIntyre moved from New South Wales to Adelaide in 2008 to further his career at SANFL club, Sturt. The move paid off last December, with the 22-year-old being added to the Crows’ rookie list. A strong-marking small forward or midfielder, McIntyre kicked 14 goals in a two-week purple patch with the Double Blues last season.

Rookie Player Rating (FWD) 6/10 - At this point of the season you want cover from your bench players, while this kid is a solid player and will be a solid scorer in the future, a strong mark and a good kick for goal, it is hard to see him remaining in the Crows side with Walker and Tippett back in, perhaps if injury strikes one and porps jump on, certainly one to have on your radar for 2013 if he fails to play 6 games and remains rookie priced.

Think he should go, the power as well as the cats are rebuilding and have a likelihood of developing into strong future sides, but the cats have FAR better shall we say "infastructure" in terms of coaching development and culture.
Think he has more chance of a premiership with the cats but there has to be a lot of value in staying with the one club and seeing it go from zero to hero and playing a major role in that.
his personal leadership ambitions probably have more chance at port but premiership chances better at the cats.
We will push for the 8 next year if not deffinetly 2014. If Boak leaves we will get Geelongs first round pick and maybe a fringe player. Long odds of him going to Melbourne if he does we will receive pick 4 for him. I would like to see him stay as he could very much likely be our next captain.
Maybe a third party needs to come into play. Richmond perhaps
Richmond get Troy Chaplin and a Port Adelaide late draft pick
Geelong get Travis Boak and a Richmonds late draft pick
Port Adelaide get Geelongs first round pick and Richmonds second pick

no not really wwe can start forming a list, I will create a seperate thread for requests soon tho. But if you want to request the likely draftees i can start making a list, provide basics at this stage obviously more articles information and statistics will come to light between the draft and the pre-season, so doing write ups at this point would be limited information
but nothing wrong with starting the list of reqests.
Ok thanks.
