2012 high scores: 106, 102, 97, 119, 124, 121, 105, 101, 135, 115, 96, 154, 118, 90
The great man improves every time he strings games together, he regularly kicked 4/5 goals in 012 with a season best output against Melbourne with 25 disposals, 16 marks and 4 goals, his kicking is elite and he will continue to roam up the ground taking marks and hitting targets sweetly by foot, when he's not donging goals from anywhere
His contested marking is improving and he now is one of the better ones, he was still ducking his head often but this will change with confidence and he will simply dominate the competition.
Don't worry, all his career he played better without Kurt and he loves a spot light. These silly on-field acts will dissapear, Neil Craig tried to make him more aggressive and chase and tackle, well in 012 he went overboard. When he did come back the second time I saw a few occasions where he held back and did not do the stupid thing, he is learning.
Expect his DT numbers to go up slightly as he gains more possessions, I expect him to really dominate the SC stats for Adelaide hitting over 120 regularly. Would take a brave coach to pick him in DT but he could still land in the top 6 by years end, an absolute lock for SCers
Taylor is traing the house down, the strongest at the club and he looks pretty damn dedicated to his fittness

Matty Wright C/F
(http://i49.tinypic.com/2ijjgp1.png)No 11
23yrs height 178 weight 81
2012: 22 gms, 20.2 pos 4.1 tkl, DT 85.2, SC 88.8
2011: 19 gms, 14.3 pos 3.5 tkl, DT 65.4, SC 68.7
Dream Team $438,700 2013
2012 high scores: 88, 105, 80, 97, 121, 110, 89, 139, 105, 84
Super Coach $475,100 2013

there were also 6 scores under 70 :-\
Rd 20 v Freo: 37 pos, 2 goals, 139DT 170SC
Matty has slotted right into Adelaide's midfield rotation in his two years off the rookie list and with the big three plus Vince, VB he should go un noticed and increase his averages nice enough to be relevent in all fantasy comps in 2013 seeing as he has the f/m dpp.
He is a classy player and tackles well for someone off the rookie list, he's not young at 23 but he's played 41 games in two years and his midfield output should increase from 20 possessions to about 22-23 I think. With the coming of Crouch and emergance of Smith he could even rotate through the forward line still as he has in 11/12, he may not but I don't think it will affect his numbers
He gets in nicely priced in both comps and though he has stiff competition from other f/m's he should be on everyone's radar
2013 Predictions: DT 97, SC 101
Brad Crouch Mid
(http://i47.tinypic.com/fmm7mt.png)
19yrs height 184, weight 83. From North Ballarat
Dream Team 2013 $108,500 Lock
Super Coach 2013 $115,900 Lock
First senior year eligable to play AFL,
2011 West Adelaide: 12 games, ave 19 possesssions, 3 tackles, 4.5 clearences (not including finals)
Brad was injured half way through the year hindering his development, at times he looked to be coasting attacking a contest when he felt like it, af if he was just biding his time waiting for 013. Well, in the prelim v North he stepped it up with 31 disposals in a BOG, he failed in the GF but the signs are great
He wins hard balls and is a clearence freak, he much reminds me of Swan with the time and space he has in tight, kicks well enough but I see him handballing a lot early as he stepps up to the pace of AFL, he would have been a class above most teenagers in the SANFL except maybe his team mates, Laird, Brown, Kerridge and Grigg, also wonder boy Aish
Really he should play 12-18 games I recon including finals, should play early probably ave 14 odd possessions and a few tackles, he's big and strong so should be ready to go. Will dominate in about three years but could be very good pretty early
Get exited about the nab!
2013 predictions: 15 games, 14 possessions, 3 tackles, 60-70 DT, 60-75 SC

2012 high scores: 89, 91, 140, 104, 142, 110, 100, 118, 111, 130, 137, 108, 105, 136, 95 / also under 80, 7 times
Super Coach $636,100 2013
2012 high scores: 93, 92, 99, 91, 141, 122, 98, 174, 145, 100, 97, 110, 138, 127, 187, 134, 106, 169, 91
lowest score was a 73 v Sydney in that disastrous SF
The rising super premo started slowley while he got used to getting it done in the midfield after Craig left him forward for four years. But when he got going wowee boy did he dominate! Rounds 16-23 in SC had a low of 106 and scores in a row of 110,138,133,127,187,134,106,169 :o that's Ablett stuff! The kid just dominated but in Rd 22 v Melbourne, even though he had 22 possessions he looked very tired and worn in the first half and got going in the second but I believe he and Sloane were tired boys come finals after the weights and boxing all year from Sando and his first full year in the guts, 013 will be different, he won't tire ;)
Paddy's weekness was not getting enough outside ball and going in wildly, Robbo like at the ball, he has fixed both areas of his game highlighted but his staggering late season numbers. Paddy is getting close to the complete player and should be the next Captain of the Adelaide football club.
He came close to stealing a Brownow after his late season run and the 26.7 ave disposals will go close to 30 I'm sure, he's the most explosive player in the comp and may even lead clearences and hard ball gets in 013, expect him to fly over 120 regularly in SC and even nudge 110 ave in DT
Paddy could really explode with another pre-season of core body fittness under Sando and he will just simply dominate, I say get on and enjoy the ride! There is enough help in the mids and expect Adelaide to match even overtake Sydney at clearences,
2013 predictions: DT 110, SC 124
Scotty (Thommo) Thompson, please don't call him Scotty T, it's Thommo ;)

2012 high scores: 135, 109, 109, 138, 128, 121, 141, 107, 128, 110, 108, 92, 106, 110, 100, 99 - in all 20 games 90+
Super Coach 591,200 2013
2012 high scores: 147, 120, 90, 110, 141, 119, 161, 139, 93, 126, 102, 100, 143, 118, 92, 106, 94, 99, 119, 104, 111
Thommo had another great year and is now considered one of the best midfielders, he also came close to winning a Brownlow. He started the year blazing the turf and dominating the midfield, once team mates Sloane and Danger got on board they set up a top 2 finish for the Crows
Thommo has become increasingly fantasy relevant especially in the last two years averaging over 100 in both comps, expect this to continue with similar numbers, he's just a machine and as tough as any, leads from the front and with the emergance of Sloane and Danger, along with good form from Bernie and VB, Thommo could be let free to do his thing an could even get better at 30
He just seems to be everywhere, gets numbers with easy as his 30 pos ave in two years shows, and normally when Thommo is winning so are the Crows, since coming from Melbourne back in 05 now, he has vertuelly been the number one man at clearences, although Danger will now over take him as the No 1 gun, Thommo may still lead the disposal count by years end, this could lead to him, with 8 starting mids now very DT and SC relevant, his output may not change but he did have a quite second half by his standards, he like others with another of Sando's core strenghening and weights should play out the year much stronger
2013 Predictions: DT 109, SC 115
Sam (Sauce) Jacobs
(http://i46.tinypic.com/35a3mgm.png)No 24
25yrs Height 202, Weight 105
2012: 25 gms 13.4 pos, 4.1 mk, 1.4 tkl, 31.0 ho, DT 87.3, SC 102.1
2011: 19 gms 12.6 pos, 4.4 mk, 3.0 tkl, 32.2 ho, DT 87.0, SC 92.7
2010: 13 gms 11.4 pos, 2.9 mk, 4.1 tkl, 22.0 ho, DT 69.7, SC 74.2 (Carlton) interesting Sauce had more tackles this year
Dream Team $449,900 2013
2012 high scores: 98, 93, 109, 80, 82, 103, 91, 122, 122, 85, 99, 80, 93, 92, 75, 99, 76
Super Coach $546,200 2013
2012 high scores: 102, 90, 104, 122, 82, 97, 104, 136, 83, 104, 146, 138, 95, 104, 92, 104, 102, 110, 101
What is there to be said here the numbers don't say, well for starters he is highly competitive. The big unit swooped by Adelaide in October 2010 has become the best ruckman at Adelaide since the great Shaun Rehn, Sauce is one of the best hitout to advantage and overall hitouts in the comp.
With over 30 HOs a game for two years it's easy points, he is slowly getting more ball for a giant and up over 13 disposals a game is good, I see him at 25 next year to be getting more ball, he will slowly increase his numbers and tough was well below the leading fantasy ruckmen in 012, he will close the gap in 013. His influence is high and he scores some big scores like the 20 possession 9 mark, 122 DT and 138 SC effort against WS, the previous week he did similar with 61 HOs 122 DT 146 SC v Port, I see these monstorous games becoming more regular as he ages. Remember he's only player 60 games.
Somehow the champ missed AA this year but I'm sure he'll get there, his body for a ruckman seems fine and durable, such has been his rise at Adelaide that the two previous leads bolted interstate, Maric and Griffen.
Sauce will continue to provide a good POD in ruck and his numbers will increase slowley, maybe he will never be the top fantasy ruck but he will be top 3-5 most years, he could also improve well enough in SC to be viable
2013 Predictions: DT 94, SC 108
Rory (Sloaneburger) Sloane (http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-love029.gif) (http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys.php) (pound for pound is there a tougher guy in the competition)
(http://i47.tinypic.com/2wlvln7.jpg)9
23yrs Height 183 Weight 85
2012: 24 gms 21.8 pos, 4.2 tkls, 19 gls, DT 91.2, SC 106.1
2011: 18 gms 20.3 pos, 5.1 tkls, 11 gls, DT 86.3, SC 88.3
2010: 14 gms 15.1 pos, 3.5 tkls, 7 gls, DT 63.4, SC 74.2
Dream Team $470,100 2013
2012 high scores: 125, 105, 99, 106, 90, 96, 104, 150, 100, 92, 109, 103, 98 - After Rd 13 Sloane had only two 100s
Super Coach $546,200 2013
2012 high scores: 114, 100, 125, 121, 125, 116, 112, 178 - bye - 95, 106, 118, 141, 100, 103, 95, 112, 94
Sloane at the bye had an ave of 114, which was the same as Danger
The hard at it tough guy loves winning hard balls, but he also runs and carries very well, also kicks goals. Sloane is loved by most as he is just great to watch, he tackles well and always puts his body on the line. But this could be part of the reason he slowed so much after the byes
The second half of the year Sloane really tired, part again of Sando's weights and boxing regime. He was almost a pedestrian come finals but battled on, next year I expect he will play the year out, another of Sando's core strenghening pre-seasons and he will be all blazing, just try and stop him.
Most would say He sits third on Adelaides midfield ladder, but I do expect the talanted kid to step up and form a devestating midfield, hard ball getting clearence winning midfield, much as they were this year only more polished. Sloane could do anything in 013, don't be supprised to see him breakout in DT. The littler of the mid group still got tagged on occasions such is the respect for him, this will continue but it will hardly stop him
Sloane could be a ripper POD in either comp to start with given he's much cheaper than his team mates, he could still finish in the top 8-10 in both comps midfield group.
2013 Prediction: DT 103, SC 114
Sam Kerridge C/F
(http://i47.tinypic.com/2hzzh5.png)6
20yrs Height 188, Weight 86
2012: 1 game subbed on for DT 6 SC 6
Played all season with Sturt in the SANFL Seniors with guys like Riley, Tambling, Jenkins and Jaensch
Dream Team $108,500
Super Coach $115,900
Adelaide's first pick at the 2011 National Draft was a success in the nab, looking like someone who had the body and class to play in 012, well he managed one game for the Crows but in the local SANFL he was consistant and often getting 15-25 possessions, he also tackles and with his big body he should be offered games in 13, if it wasn't for Adelaide's depth
He has a big kick much like Goodwin or Knights, loves a contest and can go forward. He's classier than his Sturt team mates Aiden Riley, Brodie Martin and Matty Jaensch, but he is also younger. Will have to compete with Crouch, Riley, Lyons, Grigg for a spot, I am sure he will see some game time, question will be when?
If he does get a gig he should score fairly well in both comps, watch him in nab and see that he has a big motor and can find and use the ball, tackles and hard balls are a feature.
2013 Predictions: DT 65, SC 70
Brent (Radar) Reilly Back
(http://i50.tinypic.com/aomemd.png)No 3
29yrs Height 183, Weight 86
2012: 25 gms 19.6 pos, 6.0 mks, 2.7 tkl, DT 79.2, SC 92.4, Brent's half back role changed his Kick/Hb ratio from 55% to 70%
2011: 21 gms 19.9 pos, 3.5 mks, 4.7 tkl, DT 77.9, SC 77.9
2010: 22 gms 19.7 pos, 4.5 mks, 4.7 tkl, DT 80.0, SC 74.7
2009: 20 gms 19.8 pos, 4.4 mks, 2.8 tkl, DT 74.7, SC 76.6
Dream Team $407,900 2013
2012 high scores: 91, 95, 91, 92, 94, 96, 79, 101, 77, 84, 86, 84, 107, 90, 86, 80, 92, 107
Super Coach $494,300 2013
2012 high scores: 104, 114, 123, 101, 120, 117, 90, 96, 82, 107, 120, 117, 82, 85, 86, 101, 119, 134, 97
Sando used Radar accross half back in 012 with great success, he played like Hodgey chopping off and intercepting but also using the ball well on attack. Shame he didn't score higher in SC but CD don't always know what they're doing.
Radar will continue to be the man down back with Truck, and Dogga has gone so Reilly will need to step up again. I think he can improve on his numbers this year, he will use his deadly kicking on the rebound and should get even more ball, pushing his fantasy numbers up slightly making him relevant in all competitions
Radar has really stepped his game up the last four years and he's still improving, at 29 there's not a heap of time but he still has plenty to offer for all occasions. A career best year coming up for Radar
2013 Predictions: DT 84, SC 98
Luke Brown Back
(http://i45.tinypic.com/15yavxs.png)No 16
20yrs Height 181, Weight 79
2012: 3 games 6.3 pos, DT 28.7, SC 25.3
Subs ruined any chance of a decent score fore Luke
Norwood: Played mosty for Norwoods Seniors including the GF win, got between 12 and 21 disposals most weeks
FTR Luke had 26 pos, 10 marks v West in the GF
Dream Team $147,700 2013, a little more risky but worth it
Super Coach $135,400 2013, well worth it
Luke Brown, this guy will make all Crows fans smile, a ready made replacement for Dogga Doughty with a key difference, Brown has class, lots of it. Great get in the Crouch deal from GWS, this kid can play. A local Norwood boy who is tough and skillful, uses the ball well and can stop his opponent
Luke is sure to get far more oppertunities in 13 and his game style should suit the SC, might take him time to start getting much of the footy but in a couple of years will be a beauty of a fantasy player for everyone
He's in my teams!
2013 Prediction: 15-22 games, 12-14 disposal ave, DT 55-60, SC 65
Brodie Smith Back
(http://i49.tinypic.com/23jkdw4.png)No 33
21yrs Height 189 Weight 84
2012: 22 gms 16.9 pos, DT 63.9, SC 64.9
2011: 14 gms 13.1 pos, DT 52.9, SC 50.1
Dream Team $329,500 2013
2012 higher scores: 84, 87, 88, 77, 85, 84, 92, 75
Super Coach $347,200 2013
2012 higher scores: 88, 89, 87, 88, 100, 83, 116
Brodie really stood up late in the season coming of age, showed maturity for a 20yr old and moves from half back to the wing. Not a dpp next year but it won't be long until he does spend more time in the wing. The Crows local first rounder from 2010 has the ability to step it up, in the semi v Freo was basically BOG in his most impressive game for the club, only 20 disposals but these games will become more consistant for Brodes next year
He scored well enough to show real promise and will be 21 and approching 40 games in 013, not beyond him to become fantasy relevant next year, although his averages might just fall short and he's not cheap despite very low averades this year. Could be a worthy upgrade if he starts in ablaze
Could be the smokie :o
2013 Predictions: DT 80 ,SC 88
Matthew Jaensch Back

2010: 11 gms 12.1 pos, 3.9 mks, 3.1 tkl, DT 58.8, SC 61.2
Dream Team $316,800 2013
2012 high scores: 101 v Collingwood, 92 v Geelong, so he can do it
Super Coach $324,700 2013
2012 high scores: 98, 90,
2011 high scores: 85+ 7 of 13 games: 97, 85, 85, 86, 95, 90, 92
Matty struggled to get consistant games this year despite playing well when he did and tearing up for Sturt, I always thought he should have the half back spot as he is quick and an elite kick. I put it down to similar to D-Rod being very offencive without great defencive presure however, in Matty's previous two years he ave 3.9 and 3.1 tackles per game
Hafl back at Adelaide is a feircely competitive as full forward, competing with stars Reilly and Smith, fellow fringers Martin, Otten, Henderson and yet to debue the classy Laird. So does jaensch who is only 23 next year start getting a regular gig? Honestly unless he stands out in pre-season he falls between 20-25 on the list
When he does get a propper go he could hit the scoreboard hard, regularly getting 25+ touches for Sturt and some big games in Crows colours in 2011 with 7 times over 85 in SC from 13 games
2013 Predictions: The toughest call for any Adelaide player, should play at least 10 games but will he be sub?
DT 72, SC 80 if given a chance
Ricky Henderson

2010: 12 gms 13.2 pos, 4.9 mks, 2.6 tkl, DT 65.2, SC 58.2
Dream Team $261,700 2013
2012 high scores: 87, 120, 76
Super Coach $314,000 2013
2013 high scores: 89, 120, 77
Ricky had better stats in his first season, since then he has virtually been a swing man, kicked 6 goals v Port from 20 disposals and 11 marks, also played on key forwards at times. These roles might continue from half back to the wing to full forward, could come down to ream structure, and the Crows would be short mostly in the forward six
Hendo can score big and I expect him to become more consistant with games, he of course was another Bballar and a terrific athlete, could even get a more forward role with Tippo leaving, but rest assured those 50 averages will come up and he will have some big impacts on games
2013 Prediction: DT 65, SC 65
Let me start by saying, Shaun simply dominates when playing SANFL, the Crows need a full forward/ruck and Shaun is improving

2012: Had a 14 pos, 19 HO, 101 SC effort in Rd 5
2011, Rd 1 v Hawthorn, 15pos, 8 marks, 13 HO, DT 83 SC 98, looked good but has not done it since
Ok, so Shaun is still developing, he's now 22 and looks unco, but...
Adelaide needs a full forward and also a back up ruck, most teams play three forwards and at Adelaide that's Tex, JJ leaving a spot for a full forward. Shaun kicks and marks well like his champion bug brother, he very much plays like Corey maybe with out the dominance, yet...
Take my word, this kid will be a star, maybe not for another year or two but still could, and should show signs soon, he has the ability, he has simply dominated games kicking bags and getting HOs and taking marks fir South Adelaide, unfortunately injury seems to hit him every year
In Dream Team he is still cheap at 200k, if the big unit gets that forward gig and plays 20 games, he will make you money and will be good ruck back up! He can also score well in SC but 300k is to risky, unless he bolts early
2013 Predictions: 20 games, DT 60, SC 65

2011: 15 gms 17.8 pos, 4.9 mks, 3.1 tkl, DT 70.5, SC 76.1 Of course he missed 010 through injury, still looked rigged in 011
2009: 24 gms 18.9 pos, 5.8 mks, 1.9 tkl, DT 68.6, SC 76.0
Dream Team $243,900 2013, Bargain if he does make the starting 22, bound to hit back if given the nod
High scores
2012: 81, 83, 71
2011: 87, 83, 96, 76 Rd 17 then he got tired (injured all 2010), 81, 72, 73
played every game in 09 and was incredibly consistant without huge numbers
2009: 69, 72, 73, 62, 91, 65, 69, 75, 87, 65, 92, 68, 61, 81, 84, 86, 76, 72, 82
Super Coach $345,600 2013
High scores
2012: 87, 94
2011: 77, 104, 131, 86, 88, 81
Played every game and showed why he could be a future SC gun
2009: 85, 83, 130, 88, 86, 99, 94, 122, 112, 97, 84, 90, 101
Andy was fantastic in runner up for the rising star in 09 averaging 18.9 disposals, unfortunatelly missed all 2010 with a knee injury, well he came back in 011 to play 15 games but never really looked settled. @012 was a disaster, I started him in my DT at about 340k was a disaster, maybe he didn't impress Sando enough, maybe he never recovered from that knee injury
Adelaide now has as much depth as anyone (had to release a required player, Nick Joyce to satisfy the 3 changes)
Andy now has a battle to even make the 22. Henderson, Reilly, Shaw, Thompson all took his spot in 012 and the they recruited 21 yr old Hartigan and rookie tall rebounder Siggins
Dont let all this fool you, his numbers from 09/11 prove how good he can be, when playing for South Adelaide he gets plenty of footy veery week, far to good for that comp. But can he find that sparkling form that had us all talking.
Andy was also drafted as a midfielder and his midfield numbers for South are good, he will be competing with Smith, Jaensch, Reilly, Thompson, Shaw, Rutten, Hartigan for a defencive role but could still get a wing or mid role making him a very cheap option
In Dream Team for 2013 this guy is super cheap!!!!!!!!!!! If.. he plays a key role early in nab, chances are he will make the 22 for Rd 1, really he's to good not to. This is huge for us DTers, the guy could bolt to 80-85 easilly but will he?
Surely with the confidence from a full pre-season he will just come out and demand to be selected, 18.9 pos ave from 09 means he has to be considered, he can easilly find the 20 pos ave in 2013 and prove to be the player we all thought he was, his SC nimbers from 09 with 130, 122, 112, 101, he can score when he's confident
2013 Predictions: Could go two ways
A. He playes well in nab, forces his way into the 22, gets hold of the footy and becomes a DT bargain
B. Guys like Shaw and Henderson take his spot and he struggles to play 10 games then does a Maric/Knights in October
tbag says
22 games: DT 85, SC 92
P.s. if he does go well in nab, even rounds 1-2, get him into your Dream Team A.S.A.P, trust me. At that price he is a bargain like Varcoe, if he does get midfield time like Heppell, could score similar

JJ was a revelation for Adelaide in his first year of AFL after crossing from Essendon as insurance for $Kurt (pity they didn't trade Kurt), JJ was highly impressive for Sturt kicking goals and winning ruck duels. He forced his way in by Rd 7, played 11 games before Sando decided to only play two tall forwards with the traitor backing ruck. JJ kicked 8 goals for Sturt but couldn't make the final squad when Adelaide lost to Sydney in the Qtr
Blessed with natrual ability and a good chance to play at full forward next year, JJ should improve again seeing he's only played 11 AFL games, the big lad will back Sauce and probably play the third tall with either, Lynch, McKernan or Henderson playing ff
He could be a fantasy gun with 8 goals for Sturt in Rd 24 and some big scores in his first year, those who got him in XVs well done!, he might be to expencive to be considered as he won't be a top two ruck in 2013. But he's mature aged and could still make a great F/R backup
2013 Predictions: DT 75, SC 79, could even be 10 points higher

2012: Rory as a Half back flank regularly topped over 20 disposals a game, the kid has great skill and is the perfect half back for fantasy punters, still on the rookie list but with Adelaides two year draft penalties, this kid will play for the AFC
I simply love this kid, maybe more than I love Luke Brown. Playing for West Adelaide Seniors all year he matched the great Crouch most games, except Crouch's Prelim 31 pos BOG effort.
The real trouble is That Adelaide has an abundance of flankers, Martin, Reilly, Smith, Jaensch, Otten, Henderson, but imo this guy is the best. Classy, hard, reads the play, uses the ball, Rory is a player that could even string games in the AFL next year
2013 Predictions: Could play but might struggle to get games but... If he does get the go, get on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DT 70, SC 75, but would need to play 10 games, not likely. So 2014 get on!

Super Coach $187,500 2013
Tommy Lynch excites me, a first rounder from 2008, he bolted and looked awesome in the 012 nab only to be overlooked, well Skirt is gone and Adelaide need a FF
Tom played mostely at CHB for Glenelg and had a 35 pos, 16 mark game! This kid can play and bewilders me as to why he missed out in 012
If Tom is named Rd 1 simply get on, he's to athletic and good not to make money at those prices
2013 Predictions: Tough, Adelaides FF role is up for grabs and we Adeliade folk love Tommy, but will Sando agree come Round 1?
Depends if he geyts a decent go
A. He impresses and gets the ff gig, ave 14 pos and 7 marks and kicks 30 goals
B. He is left to rot at Glenelg
DT 75/85, SC 80/95, but that is if he gets the propper go at it

From Tassie, Sam adds to the tall defenders Thompson, Shaw, Talia and Truck, Sam is competitive in the air and provides run out of defence much like the other Sam, Shaw making him fantasy viable (think Lake and Fisher). With the lack of talls in Adelaide's defence the 18yr old (19 by next season) could even get games, he's not skinny already a healthy 86 kg and with a summer of weights should be bigger by April
2013 Predictions: Unlikely to play with Adelaide pushing again for top 4, but he still could get a game with injuries, remember Adelaide missed Shaw and Talia in the prelim loss
0-4 games, DT 55, SC 58

Rory came in at nat Draft pick 81 after winning the Calder Cannons B&F with 21 disposals a game, probably picked up to replace Chris Knights and he is a half forward, decent mark and good skills, I get the feeling he can score well in SC and I'm sure with Adelaide's lack of small forward depth Rory could get games ahead of a Riley or Kerridge
2013 prediction: If the injury prone Porplyzia does goe down, Rory could be the man, with Callinan and Petrenko still needing to find good consistancy in their games, again Rory could get the go up forward, with Wright to spen more time on-ball and Knights leaving, a spot opes up on a flank, though it is just as likely he plays SANFL all year much like Kerridge, Grigg, Brown and Lyons this year
Games: 5-10, DT 55, SC 65, again will be a prime candidate for the sub

Kyle comes as a mature aged Backman who was one of the best key backs in the vfl the last two years, he's rookie listed but I'd bet he comes in and plays a few games, though logic says Truck and Talia play, Shaw would be unlucky to lose the spor to Kyle.
Truck probably now plays the third or lose tall with Talia, Shaw/Hartigan getting the other key role. I would have to say Kyle would be the better choice here as Sam Shaw is more of a thirt tall rebounding type as would be Siggins, still Adelaide and myself rate Shaw so Kyle could be waiting for injury, unless Dr time catches up with the slow Rutten
2013 prediction: Sure to play at some stage but unlikely to score well, -10 possessions a game, but if he plays could be good bench cover and make 100k like Morris
Games: 5-20, DT 45, SC 50

Mitch played all in Norwood's Seniors and Reserves this year, a good ball winning midfielder, Mitch beat the likes of Kennedy and Toumpas to be SA's best in the 2011 U18's Carnival and until emerging superstar James Aish this year, was Norwood's youngest ever player in 09
Mitch will continue to develop and should play regularly with Norwood's Seniors next year, it's not out of the question to make an AFL debue, surely he'll get game time in the nab, I like the way he plays he just looks like a footballer, not quick but very much a footballer and he has a good future ahead
2013 predictions: With the arrival of Crouch, the emergance of Riley and Wright, the hard body of Kerridge, Mitch may struggle to play next year, however he has that footy nous and he reminds me of Port's Roger James, could play some games but as always will be a sub candidate
If he does play he will find the ball, DT 60, SC 65

Will have a look at a few of the boys on the list, and would love to see danger smash the start of the season so I can confidently bring him into my team!
Didn't Matty Wright get his number changed?

Yep, also JJ took T$ppo's No 4 :o
Great work.
Do you honestly think every single player you have listed will increase their averages?
Anyway good amount of time put into this, opened up my views on Matty Wright, cheers.
Yeah I did think of that, however Adelaide is on the rise and most of these players are very young so improvement is expected, just look at Sydney and Collingwood also WC players in recent seasons, they seem to get better every year, as teams reach the top, the average games possession count goes up to 400-450 a game, also Adelaide are working on tackling all pre-season as they were in the bottom 4 for tackles last year, plus more goals are expected
lol so yeah I expect most of these players to improve their averages
Great work Tbag! Have Crouch + Tex in my SC at the moment and guys like Danger, Jacobs, Reilly, Jenkins are sure to be in there at some stage during pre-season :D
Also stoked to have Jenkins, Jacobs and Luke Brown (who I wouldn't mind being profiled if you get the chance) in my AXV.
Brown's on page 1 mate :D really enjoyed writing him! I could only get Dangerfield, Shaw, Kerridge, Lynch, Siggins and Laird in my AXV ??? Still a nice group though ;D

That's the thing as we know, JJ also kicked 8 goals for Sturt the week before our finals, he had some big scores too, surely he gets T$ppo's spot at ff, and the back up ruck duties? He has played only 11 games but have we ever been more excited about a player who's played 11 games? Besides Tex of course :P
Risky mate, not starting Leue if fit is a mistake, but could do a Leue/JJ starting two :o, or have JJ forward and play Cox/Nat/Ryder if fit in ruck? JJ could do anything I agree
Btw you lose Aish come November ;D, Probably to the Llamas :o, Interesting to see Grigg again for Norwood, kid can play!
Grigg and Laird, (also Kerridge but we know he can seriously play) in the SANFL next year gives me a reason to watch the ABC saturday afternoons,(if i'm not playing Bball) very excited to see these two again 8)
Was looking at Stats and Adelaide was only in front of the newbies for tackles this year :-[, but Sando has had them working on it from the begining of pre-season 8)
Also we were well down on total possessions at 350 a game, expect this to rise sharply
No 2 for clearences behind Hawthorn and No 2 for contested balls behind Sydney, Danger and Sloane get better and enter that man Crouch who was built to win clearences and hard balls 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) + Thommo 8)
Matty, Wright, Vince, VB, Smith to get heaps of outside run

IMO Jenkins should have come in for Tippet a few extra times last year, deserved to play more than 11 games.
JJ/Leuy combo would be very risky. Thinking Goldy/JJ at this stage. Willing to take the punt
Don't want to lose Aishy :( kid is a gun! Was close (if not) best on ground in the GF at only what 16, 17 years of age? Will be a great recruit to the Llamas! Expect some big trade offers lol
I watched that Westies semi-final and Crouch absolutely tore that game to shreds!!!
Yep I saw that prelim, Crouch simply dominated, all day! Aish for me was bog in the GF, Terlich had the ball all day though, and Browny 10 marks and 26 disposals 8)
How was Aishy's running goal through the centre ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Frog mate why couldn't Andrew Aish play an extra 130 games instead of worrying about the family buisness >:( >:( >:( ::)
It was between Terlich and Aishy for me. His goal was something special though, all class.
Lol yeah would have been nice!
hey tbag.
you seem fairly confident both crouch and brown will enter into the crows best 22....just wondering who you think they be replacing.
chrs in advance.
Michael Doughty for one. And possibly Mackay as the other
Let's have a look, my Round one 22
Back: Brown, Talia, Rutten yep, Luke Brown replaces Doughty who retired
Reilly, Shaw, Smith
Mids: Jacobs, Thompson, Dangerfield
Wright, Sloane, Vince
Fwds: Porplyzia, Walker, Petrenko
Henderson, Jenkins, Callinan
Bench: Douglas, Mackay, Crouch, Van Berlo Last year young Riley and Lyons got games, but they won't
play before Crouch. Otten, Jaench, Martin and McKernan are next
Missing: Johncock, Lynch, Otten, McKernan, Jaensch, Martin, Huge depth at Adelaide ;)
These guys should get games firts, then
Young Mids: Kerridge, Riley, Lyons, Grigg,
+ Laird, L Thompson, Johnston, Tambling, Graham
Not to mention, Ellis-Yolman, Joyce, Atkins, Hartigan, Siggins
chrs tb.
Why do you have such big wraps on Brown? What makes him so good?
Why do you put him ahead of Johncock/Otten/Jaench?
Luke Brown was pre-listed to GWS after a great year as an 18yr old for Norwood, then Adelaide got him when they traded to get Brad Crouch in that deal, it was considered Luke would have gone very high in that draft (2011 National)
Browny is tough, can stop his opponent, he also finds the ball, highly skilled on both feet and looks like a footballer
Andy just hasn't looked the same since his knee injury, if he does have a solid pre-season he should get a chance, Johncock looks to be on the outer possably to do with attitude, Jaensch would not have the devensive or game reading quilities of Brown
Could also be conceivable that if Andy Otten does impress, Truck Rutten could become liable at FB and lack the pace to play BP, he could even get that spot if the game catches up with Truck, though Truck stopped Pav in the Semi
Great info, chrs.
+2
Why did Johncock's average drop so harshly? A solid range of 85-100 for 7 years and then 62 in 2012.
Is it just age after 235 games? A change of role? A new coach? Or this 'attitude' issue some have mentioned?
Not much being said about him anywhere. Is he in the Didak league now?
Attitude I think mate! Also being used forward more now
Interesting to see if he is in the best 22, sadly I think not
Attitude? It was because of role change and subbed often.
Yeah was basically because he had his role changed from being a rebound defender to being a small forward. The sub doesn't really change his average, boosts it up to 67, but that's it.
Subbed 3 times including the PF...change of role sounds right to me.
A little surprised he hasnt been mentioned more as being similar to Yarran (in price drop, obviously not age, etc).
Also DPP :o
Unfortunately shares the round 13 bye with GOD, Gibbs, Yarran, Broughton.

Thanks tabs, tried not to be bias an call it how I saw it, especially come SANLF lol ::)
Truth is there is just so much talant! Two years ago Neil Craig said it was the most talanted group he'd seen at Adleaide, we've since added Brad Crouch, Rory Laird, JJ (Jenkins) Luke Brown, Mitch Grigg, Sam Kerriddge, Tommy Lynch, sheesh i'm getting excited by my own writing :P
Easy there big fella...dont hurt yourself... ;D
How likely is it do you think that Laird will get games Tbag? I need a backman that's below 110K :P
Unlikelly unfortunatelly as I really like him, if Rielly was to down for a while he could get a run, though he could be upgraded early can't he? Due to drafting restrictions now, Rory should be the lucky benifactor ;)

Cheers thanks, I am confident as this group grows under Sando and increase their core strenght as they are, the numbers will go up, hence the fantasy numbers have to go up :D
Walker will supprise most with his output this year :-X
