2013 Supercoach Player Profile: Andrew Swallow

[Aidans Blues]

2013 Supercoach Player Profile: Andrew Swallow
Games: 22
2012 Average: 109
2011 Average: 111.9
Centuries: 12 (and 6 scores in the 90s)
Big Tons: 158 v Melbourne, 155 v Power
Low Scores: 73 v Hawthorn, 78 v GWS
Fanplanner Price: 581,100
Stats:
* 1st in the comp for total tackles and average tackles per game.
* Ranked 5th in the comp for total clearances.
* Ranked 19th in Supercoach scores per game.

Thoughts:
The North Melbourne skipper had another consistent year, contributing in just about every game this year and showed good consistency in Supercoach with only 2 scores under 80 and showing he has the potential for a high ceiling.

Verdict:
He has had similar averages the last two seasons, and really would need to average 120+ and become a 'super premium' to be considered a great pick. With North Melbourne set to keep improving it is not impossible for Swallow to break the 120 barrier, but I believe he may just fall short of it.

Predicted 2013 Average: 117 ppg

Yeah, no room for Swallow in my mids....can see him going at least 115+ though.

He will be in my team at some stage ....  as you say - plays every game (ie doesn't get rested like selwood and others) and pumps out some big scores.

Question for me is - do i start with him or upgrade later in the year?  I'm thinking maybe upgrade

[roo boys!]

Absolutely love the guy, so he will be getting a spot in my side eventually, it's only a matter of time...just maybe not Rd1.

[Shihan7]

Not, for me. There are better options.

Tackling machine and will average 110-115, but better options in Cotchin and Murphy
