Freshmen (newbies): Guys named for their first match of their career, or guys coming back from injury who are dirt cheap.
About to burst: These fellas have played two matches this year, and if you don't jump on them this round, their price will explode. Basically just a warning signal.
Rookie watch: These guys have been in our teams from the start, but by monitoring their break-even every week it's easier to gauge when to jump off them, even if they've served you well. Remember, there's no room for sentiment in SuperCoach.
Cheapened stars: They may not have exactly 'fallen from grace', but it's not unusual for a gun to average 100 yet still see a price drop of $100,000. These guys are the perfect trade-up targets, and a smart selection here is just as important as picking the right rookie.
Freshmen:
Josh Jenkins (Adel) $113,200, RUCK
Comes in for Shaun McKernan this week to help with the rucking duties. Only a massive game will bide him some time at AFL level.
Andrew Phillips (GWS) $124,700, RUCK
WIth Brogan out, Giles' new sidekick is Phillips. Unlikely to score hugely, an outside chance for your bench.
Ryan Neates (WC) $113,200, MID
He's not the next David (Neitz), so don't get too excited just yet.
Dayne Zorko (Bris) $106,600, FOR/MID >
Exciting, quick mature aged player who is already 23. And he's DPP...
Brad McKenzie (NM) $111,600, MID
His name was thrown up last year. I'd love to see him given a crack.
Will Sierakowski (NM) $113,200, DEF
There was a bit of excitement when he jumped across last year, in reverse to Josh Gibson a few years back. Hope he plays, we need some backline down-grades.
Fletcher Roberts (WB) $106,600, FOR
A tall forward from Sandringham (thanks Sarge!), I would be very surprised if we saw him play. But, with Liam Jones out, a slim possibility.
Daniel Pearce (WB) $106,600, MID
An outside chance to play, that's all the news at this stage.
About to burst:
Kyal Horsley (GC) $128,700, MID - Ave 93
Everyone with half a brain will be getting him.
Taylor Adams (GWS) $136,600 FOR/MID - Ave 85
He has played enough on the ball to seriously consider him. A great alternative from Horsley.
Charlie Dixon (GC) $196,200 FOR - Ave 83
Other than kicking the first AFL goal in GC's history, he did nothing last year. Big improver this year.
Sam Reid (GWS) $113,200 MID - Ave 45
He has been the sub, so his average isn't as high as it should be.
Jarryd Lyons (Adel) $113,200 FOR - Ave 34
Another one who has been subbed, but doesn't look to be a massive scorer.
Billy Longer (Bris) $161,600 RUCK - Ave 54
A great recruit for the Lions and a star of a future. Not exactly cheap, so only an option if you need a back-up ruckman who is playing.
Kirk Ugle (Coll) $113,200 FOR - Ave 21
Starting sub twice, but with Seedsman returning, we might get to see a full game out of him!
Rookie watch:
Tom Bugg: Ave 79, BE: 41
Jack Hombsch: Ave 71, BE: 46
Dylan Shiel: Ave 67, BE: 17
Steve Morris: Ave 62, BE: 42
Toby Greene: Ave 84, BE: -13
Brandon Ellis: Ave 58, BE: 38
Devon Smith: Ave 62, BE: 21
Curtly Hampton: Ave 43, BE: 20
Adam Tomlinson: Ave 47, BE: 36: GIDDY UP! With Adams available in the forward line, and Horsley available in the middle, it's time for DPP Tomlinson to hit the road, if he's in your side.
Israel Folau: Ave 34, BE: -25
James Magner: Ave 77, BE: 30
Stephen Coniglio: Ave 65, BE: 13
Steve Motlop: Ave 75, BE: 32
Cameron Guthrie: Ave 47, BE 84: GIDDY UP! Guthrie fell in price last week, and his break-even doesn't instil any confidence in another rise. Time to go, Cam!
Terry Milera: Ave 65, BE: 32
Jamie Cripps: Ave 40, BE: -3
Paul Bower: Ave 76, BE: -7
James McDonald: Ave 85, BE: -13
Jeremy Cameron: Ave 58, BE: -22
Jack Crisp: Ave 59, BE: -30
Tim Mohr: Ave 70, BE: -16
Darren Pfeiffer: Ave 51, BE: 8
Lachie Neale: Ave 32, BE: 5
Jacob Townsend: Ave 37, BE: 22
Cheapened Stars:
The only player we told you to look at last week was Steve Johnson! And he thrashed out 169 points!
This week look at:
- If Naitanui is still out, swap him for Dean Cox ($542,600, down $120,000).
- Ryan O'Keefe is slowly hitting his straps, and his last two weeks prove that he still has it. Also a DPP - he's $452,200 (down $104,400).
- Nick Dal Santo is averaging 103 but he's still dropped $110,600. A super buy if you already have Ablett (he's $536,500).
