Legen...DARY's 2013 Draft

[Legen...DARY]

Have tried to put together a "realistic" squad in anticipation of final prices, hence why I have close to $500k in the bank.

Team is pretty stock standard however should be a pretty good platform to build on in the lead up to NAB cup.

DEF: B. Goddard#, B. Gibbs#, P. Duffield, G. Broughton*, C. Pedersen, J. Pittard (S. Docherty, D. Terlich)
MID: G. Ablett jnr, J. Kennedy, J. Selwood, T. Cotchin, M. Murphy, K. Stevens, B. Crouch, J. O'Meara (J. Lonergan, J. Viney)
RUC: T. Goldstein, M. Leuenberger (J. Witts, B. Grundy)
FWD: P. Ryder+, T. Rockliff^, D. Martin^, M. LeCras, T. Varcoe, B. Staker* (C. Hitchcock, B. Macaffer)
CASH LEFT: $498,600

Byes: 3/2/3 - 2/3/5 - 1/1/2 - 4/2/2 = 10/8/12

# B/C
^ C/F
* B/F
+ R/F

Notes:
- Backs pretty standard. If Duffield holds onto his half back sweeping role he will be in top 3 backs IMO
- No risks in mids this year... starting 5 super premo's (Murphy under priced)
- Will watch Stevens in NAB. Starved of opportunities at West Coast. Should be a nice fit at the Dogs, however now they have signed Nick Lower, his stocks may have dropped. Might go with Wines
- Goldie should perform well this year in the ruck. At this stage, gone with both the Pies rookie rucks... If Jolly doesn't play, 1 of these guys will! However I do want a DP link to forwards
- Forwards are the weakest line becuase I am struggling to identify a potential top 6
- IMO Buddy not worth starting with due to the Hawks tough starting draw. For example, if you take out his 236 against North Melbourne last year, Buddy only averaged 100 over the past 2 years (106 including the 236 score) against the first 7 teams the Hawks face in 2013. As such, I see no value in picking him up priced at a 115 average
- Should give me a nice POD starting without Buddy also
- I see more value in Paddy Ryder who I think will go close to a 110 average this year and he should dominate in the ruck due to the new ruck rules
- Planning my team without NicNat due to the doubt about not being fit for round 1. He will have no pre-season and will be eased back into footy as West Coast won't risk him. Should be a nice upgrade target

Please give me your thoughts...

spending to much cash in the mids imo
