Make a Big Call 2015

[blue]

Boak for bownlow
Mitch Clark for coleman

[FactHunt]

Not a HUGE call (as it will probably happen at some stage anyway) but Fyfe for brownlow.

Bombers to make top 4 + Hirdy to win the Allan Jeans senior coaches award, resulting in Caro Wilson's + Damien Barrett's heads to explode amidst rants and rages never previously witnessed.

North Melbourne to win the flag.

'Buckets' Carlisle to win the Coleman.

[SydneyRox]

I thought I had done this, but in most likely order

Swans Premiers
Buddy Coleman
Parker Highest Scoring SC Player
Parker Brownlow

:P there - a non biased view

[meow meow]

Cyril will play every game and be the #1 forward, remaining as a POD for the entire year since everyone fears the ping.

[Jacko]

Port Adelaide to make the GF
Wingard to average 100+
Zero defenders averaging over 100 by mid season.

[Gigantor]

The top 6 defenders will all be over 30
Lots of rookie ruckmen will be named round 1, suck everyone in then never play again
Chappy will win the Brownlow...but then get stripped of it when its discovered he is actually a robot from South Africa

All final 3 contenders to win the Brownlow this year will have already won won ablett/swan/bartel/priddis/Judd

Ablett will be showers till round 6 when he pumps consecutive 150+ scores

[PowerBug]

Gary Ablett will dislocate both shoulders, both knees, be in a coma and still pump out 125+ scores

Stephan Martin will be #1 RUC by year's end. No other RUC will average more than 101.4

[Drak]

Stephan Martin will be #1 RUC by year's end. No other RUC will average more than 101.4

But ruckmen have been given extra ways to accumulate points?

[SydneyRox]

Buddy goes 200+ in round 1

Not that I've heard of??

Thought the only change was RUC now get 5 points for an effective hit out and 0 for ineffective hit outs - previously they got 3 for an effective one and 1 for an ineffective one

According to Fantasy Freako:

Top 5 rucks for hit-to-adv % since 2012 (min 25 gms)

Hampson (32.2%)
Jacobs (31.9%)
Maric (28.5%)
Goldy (28.3)
Nic Nat (27.5)

This means in order for you to break even under this new scoring system you would need to have a hit-to-adv % of ~33.5% (better than the #1)

If we assume that ALL rucks have the save % as Nic Nat (27.5%) then, everything else being equal, rucks are overvalued by 11%
