Playing their way In/Out

[jamfrank]

NAB is valuable for assessing player's new role's, I think. I'm keeping an eye out for guys pushing through the middle more than they have. With fewer rotations, time spent in the middle will be divided up much more so you may get guys like Guthrie and D. Swallow in there a bit more.

Having said that, it's also very important to remember who was missing in each NAB game. Selwood comes back in to Geelong and maybe Guthrie goes back to playing on the small defender...

I also thought that Melbourne's new game plan under Roos - chipping the ball around the back and up the wings slow and steady - seems indicative to high fantasy scores (lots of +6's). If it holds up in round 1 there could be some bargains who will boost their scores this year, particularly in the back half. They managed almost 200 more disposals than Richmond, who fielded a reasonably strong side, by just not letting them have the ball

yeo, I think this is a great point. Dees marked it something like 60 times more than the Tigers....
