#44 Matthew Arnot

Age: 20
Height/Weight: 180cm/86kg
Fantasy Status: Breakout Candidate 
Position: Midfield
2014 Price
SC: $284,500
DT: $196,700

AFL
2013 Games: 4
2013 Average
SC: 52.8
DT: 44.2



VFL
2013 Games: 9
2013 Average
DT: 87.6



Jroo says: Arnot is a fine fantasy prospect for the future, he racks up a lot of the ball and is great defensively, making lots of tackles. One thing Arnot has to work on though, is controlling his aggression, as he gave away 26 free kicks from only nine games, this year in the VFL, which hurts his fantasy scores. Arnot is on the fringe of the Tigers' side and an injury to one of the starting midfielders or good VFL form should see him break into the side.

#12 David Astbury

Age: 22
Height/Weight: 195cm/96kg
Fantasy Status: Stay Away 
Position: Defender
2014 Price
SC: $285,900
DT: $179,700

AFL
2013 Games: 5
2013 Average
SC: 53.0
DT: 39.0



VFL
2013 Games: 9
2013 Average
DT: 60.8



Jroo says: Astbury won't getting a game in the side unless Grimes is out as they both play the same role, as the third tall defender. Being a key defender, Astbury will never be a big fantasy scorer, but towards the end of the year he showed some form that he can be a decent scorer.

#11 Jake Batchelor

Age: 21
Height/Weight: 188cm/87kg
Fantasy Status: Mid-Pricer
Position: Defender
2014 Price
SC: $315,200
DT: $265,200

AFL
2013 Games: 9
2013 Average
SC: 58.4
DT: 50.4



VFL
2013 Games: 8
2013 Average
DT: 58.8



Jroo says: After an impressive first two seasons, Batchelor went backwards in 2013, only playing nine games. He is a defender who can play tall or small, but he also provides some good defensive rebound for his side and takes plenty of marks, which could result in some decent scores. Watch him over the preseason to see where he stands at the club, but come round one, I don't think he'll be in the side.

2014 Predicted Average
SC: 68-73

#25 Troy Chaplin

Age: 27
Height/Weight: 195cm/99kg
Fantasy Status: Stay Away
Position: Defender
2014 Price
SC: $368,600
DT: $330,400

AFL
2013 Games: 21
2013 Average
SC: 68.3
DT: 61.0



Jroo says: Chaplin's average dropped considerably at his new club and I can't see it improving. The Tigers don't need Chaplin for his rebound from defence, as they'll leave it to Rance or Grimes, so Chaplin won't get much of the ball, especially as he's main objective is to shut down his opponent. He's much more suited to SuperCoach than AFL Fantasy, but I'd stay away in both competitions.

2014 Predicted Average
SC: 65-70

#30 Reece Conca

Age: 21
Height/Weight: 185cm/83kg
Fantasy Status: Breakout candidate
Position: Midfielder
2014 Price
SC: $438,300
DT: $435,300

AFL
2013 Games: 16
2013 Average
SC: 81.3
DT: 80.3



VFL
2013 Games: 1
2013 Average
DT: 77.0



Jroo says: Conca has again shown signs of improvement, but 2014 could be the year he breakouts and becomes one of the club's best midfielders. With Tuck gone, Conca will replace him as an inside midfielder, so I'd expect his average to improve again, but he is awkwardly priced.

2014 Predicted Average
SC: 87-92

#9 Trent Cotchin

Age: 23
Height/Weight: 185cm/85kg
Fantasy Status: Gun
Position: Midfield
2014 Price
SC: $572,000
DT: $511,300

AFL
2013 Games: 21
2013 Average
SC: 106.0
DT: 94.3



Jroo says: Cotchin was one of the most talked about players coming into 2013, but he didn't quite live up to expectations, as the new club captain's average dropped in both fantasy competitions. I believe the knee injury he suffered in round 5 against Fremantle, may have affected him and in 2014 I'm expecting him to bounce back. He is a star and underpriced, so he's one to watch.

2014 Predicted Average
SC: 110-115
DT: 108-113

#7 Matt Dea

Age: 22
Height/Weight: 186/87kg
Fantasy Status: Cheapie
Position: Defender
2014 Price
SC: $228,200
DT: $191,300

AFL
2013 Games: 3
2013 Average
SC: 47.0
DT: 44.7



VFL
2013 Games: 12
2013 Average
DT: 76.3



Jroo says: Dea isn't a bad scorer, but he has found it difficult, breaking into this Tiger's line-up. He may be defensive player, but he can find the footy. I wouldn't be surprised if he has a breakout year, he's pretty underrated and could be in our best 22, at the end of the year. He's not expensive and if he gets game he may bea good POD.

2014 Predicted Average
SC: 60-65

#3 Brett Deledio

Age: 26
Height/Weight: 188cm/88kg
Fantasy Status: Gun
Position: Midfield
2014 Price
SC: $558,800
DT: $514,900

AFL
2013 Games: 22
2013 Average
SC: 103.6
DT: 95.0



Jroo says: Deledio was somewhat disappointing in 2013, struggling with the tag. This resulted in Deledio's average dropping by 13 points. But, Deledio should bounce back in 2014, as he continues to develop and learn to deal with the tag. No doubt he's a fantasy star, as you can see by his scores last year. He is very durable, only missing four games since making his debut and he kicks more than he handballs, meaning he will post some big scores. Normally Deledio is a consistent scorer, but this year he had some massive games and some disappointing games. But next year I think he can get back to his consistent best and he is slightly under priced, so he's not a bad option.

#27 Aaron Edwards

Age: 29
Height/Weight: 184cm/93kg
Fantasy Status: POD
Position: Forward
2014 Price
SC: $479,400
DT: $380,200

AFL
2013 Games: 8
2013 Average
SC: 88.9
DT: 74.6



VFL
2013 Games: 10
2013 Average
DT: 92.9



Jroo says: Edwards broke his way into the team in round 10, but really started to impress towards the end of the year. He only played eight games this season, but posted some impressive fantasy scores towards the end of the year. He won't come cheap though and he's never been a great fantasy scorer. He's also on the fringe of Tigers' line-up, so picking him in your side would be very risky.

#10 Shane Edwards

Age: 25
Height/Weight: 182/83kg
Fantasy Status: Mid-Pricer
Position: Forward
2014 Price
SC: $421,600
DT: $372,000

AFL
2013 Games: 19
2013 Average
SC: 78.2
DT: 68.6



Jroo says: Edwards had a bit of a down year in 2013, but it wouldn't be beyond him to bounce back in 2014. He is much more suited to Supercoach and you could just about cross him off your list in AFL Fantasy. Edwards won't be one of the top forwards and won't make a lot of cash, so it's probably not worth starting him.

2014 Predicted Average
SC: 77-83

#5 Brandon Ellis

Age: 20
Height/Weight: 181cm/81kg
Fantasy Status: Underpriced
Position: Midfield
2014 Price
SC: $440,400
DT: $429,300

AFL
2013 Games: 20
2013 Average
SC: 81.6
DT: 79.2



Jroo says: Ellis had a slow start to the year, being subbed off in round one after a disappointing game, which resulted in him starting as the sub for the next three games. But after this he was finally given a chance to play a full game and flourished. Ellis really stood up in 2013, taking his game to the next level in what was only his second year of senior football. Ellis went on to average 99 when you take out his five sub affected games, which is quite impressive for a youngster. In 2014 Ellis won't be cheap anymore and I don't think he'll be such a good buy as a midfielder only. Teams will start to tag him as his run and carry is vital to Richmond and when he was tagged this year he struggled with the attention. Ellis will be a fantasy star in the future, but I think 2014 will be a difficult year for him.

#43 Todd Elton

Age: 20
Height/Weight: 197cm/97kg
Fantasy Status: Rookie
Position: Forward
2014 Price
SC: $123,900
DT: $135,500

AFL
2013 Games: 0

VFL
2013 Games: 18
2013 Average
DT: 50.9



Jroo says: Elton still has plenty of development before he becomes a regular in the Tigers' line-up. Elton's scores weren't too impressive in the VFL this year and even if he is given a senior opportunity this year, I wouldn't be expecting too much from him. Although he has the potential to become a good player in the future.

2014 Predicted Average
SC: 40-45

#41 Nathan Foley

Age: 28
Height/Weight: 178cm/79kg
Fantasy Status: Mid-pricer 
Position: Midfield
2014 Price
SC: $386,00
DT: $395,300

AFL
2013 Games: 16
2013 Average
SC: 71.6
DT: 72.9



VFL
2013 Games: 3
2013 Average
DT: 72.3



Jroo says: Foley had a successful comeback from an achilles injury, but didn't score too well in fantasy. He is no longer a lock in the club's best 22, as shown by his omission from the elimination final this year. He started as the sub on three occasions and I think he may be used in that role again next year.
