2013 Fremantle SuperCoach Review

[BB67th]

Here is my next, and possibly last, not quite sure how many reviews I am doing yet, 2013 SuperCoach review. Check out the rest at www.supercoachhq.com

2013 Season Review - Fremantle

Best First Year Player
Jack HANNATH - 12 matches, 563 points at 47.62. Increased $87,200
Freo spent their time developing a lot of second year players this season, and as a result Hannath was the best first year player. He was serviceable in the ruck after injuries to other key big men, but is still young and young ruckmen need time to develop in the seconds before they become good fantasy scorers.

Most Improved Player
Garrick IBBOTSON - 13 matches, 1229 points at 94.54. Increased $46,500
Despite missing a large portion of the season with injury, the games that he did play, Ibbotson had a big effect on. He developed into more of a running player this year and this helped him increase his SuperCoach output by over 14 points. If he is priced nicely is one to consider for next year, but watch what role he is given in pre-season matches.

Best Buy
Michael BARLOW - 21 matches, 2311 points at 110.05. Increased $2,000
It was a big year for the entire Fremantle midfield, and Barlow was the most consistent over the entire season. Only missing one game and finishing 16th in the competition for SuperCoach points proves that he is back to his best football after that horrific broken leg a few years ago. A very solid premium pick in the midfield that is a little unique.

Worst Buy
Aaron SANDILANDS - 7 matches, 448 points at 64.00. Decreased $226,400
Lots of people thought that a cheapish Aaron Sandilands would be a great POD come finals time with a soft draw for the huge ruckman during the last month of the regular season. Instead, he did nothing but disappoint on his long-awaited return from injury, scoring 88, 63, 30 and 78. Hopefully you did not trade him in. However, depending on how big a discount he receives, he may be one to look at picking up cheaply next year.

2014 Prospects

Matthew Pavlich
The big man had his first season cut down by injury this year, so expect him to bounce back and have a full year of football in 2014. He only played 9 games, so there is a chance for a discount, but if he doesn't receive one, he is always a very strong mid-season upgrade target. Never doubt his scoring capabilities.

Stephen Hill
The classy midfielder seems to be getting better each season and looks as if he could break out at any moment. As soon as he gets better at breaking a tag, he will. Keep him on your radar, he could make a good POD in the midfield.

Nathan Fyfe
2013 was another big year for Fyfe, and really he only has improvement left to show in his game in the future. A gun who could win a Brownlow one day, he is one that I will probably start with every year for the next 6 years in my team. Absolute gun player and lock him in for a starting spot.

Most Prolific

1.       Michael Barlow (MID) - 2311 @ 110.05
2.       Nathan Fyfe (MID) - 2023 @ 106.47
3.       David Mundy (MID) - 1971 @ 103.74
4.       Chris Mayne (FWD) - 1931 @ 91.95
5.       Michael Johnson (DEF) - 1825 @ 86.90
15.     Zac Clarke (RUC) - 1348 @ 96.29

Definetly getting on Sandilands. Hopefully most other people won't!

Sylvia is another 2014 prospect

yeah, he's a decent chance to make the cut in a VERY good side.

Definetly getting on Sandilands. Hopefully most other people won't!

im still a bit iffy, would be a GREAT R2, but his injuries could make or break you
