H Goddard 41.49%

Convinced a lot of people are picking this guy based solely on his surname. That's the only reason I can think of.

H Goddard 41.49%

Convinced a lot of people are picking this guy based solely on his surname. That's the only reason I can think of.

I reckon a lot of people think "Top 20 draft pick, for a crap side in St Kilda, he'll surely get games early".

Most people only have placeholders for defence rookies anyway I guess as who knows if any will show up :-\

[Mr.Craig]

I'm a bit surprised that people in both AF and DT are favouring Newnes so much over Smith, not that there will be much between them.

[AaronKirk]

I'm a bit surprised that people in both AF and DT are favouring Newnes so much over Smith, not that there will be much between them.

I think it is to do with the likelihood that Newnes will move into the midfield whilst we still are unsure whether Smith will have more midfield time.

That's my reasoning. But even then I'm not completely sold on picking a kid that is coming off a small breakout.

[SydneyRox]

I am surprised dusty is so far above lids and that Rocky isnt on the list from all the teams i have seen

This might have pushed Dusty's value up a bit

DUSTIN Martin will be challenged to take his midfield game to a new level in 2015 and become like Jobe Watson, Richmond coach Damien Hardwick says.

After an impressive third finish in the best and fairest, Martin is entering his sixth AFL season having added attacking weapons to his repertoire.

In the Tigers' run to the finals the 23-year-old became a match winner more than once when pushed forward to win crucial contests.

While Hardwick wants Martin to remain an explosive option inside 50 this season, he says it's time he became a midfield force much like the Essendon skipper on a more permanent basis.

"We think his running capacity has really improved over the course of his pre-seasons he's had with us, and we feel for him to take that next step as a player it's going to be the majority of him playing midfield," Hardwick told AFL.com.au.

"He needs to become a contested ball king, a tackle king in that area, much like a Jobe Watson type of player that's capable of setting up the game from the middle of the ground.

"We look forward to giving him that opportunity."





And this might have dropped Lids down a bit

RICHMOND vice captain Brett Deledio is being carefully managed by the Tigers' fitness staff after developing soreness in his problematic Achilles tendon.

Wary of how much the 27-year-old was affected by the persistent injury when it flared in the early rounds of last season, the Tigers are taking no chances this summer.

Deledio was kept back from this week's community camp visit to East Gippsland, along with captain Trent Cotchin, midfielder Dustin Martin and others dealing with minor ailments.

Cotchin and Martin are managing hamstring soreness and on a specific strength program designed to speed up their recovery.

Some interesting % there,
Heath Shaw at only 7% a little surprising.

He's suited to the SC scoring system more, which is probably why not as many people have him in DT

[T Dog]

Dusty not on anyone's radar  :o

[Mr.Craig]

Nic Nat 21.53%

Currently have him in tandem with Lycett. Risky? A little, but they have shown the ability to score well together.

If you have Sinclair on your bench as well you'll be fine.
