i voted j brown..
having a pre season for the first time in ages
and is killing it by all reports

Footyrulz

Sandi is the only one that isnt injury prone. Last season was his only bad injury.

Kuruki

Barlow. Will be fully recovered from his broken leg, physically and mentally. Avg 110 in his first season of footy. is now thru the 2nd year syndrome even if being by default. 3rd year player fit and firing. Pav wont be in the mids as often. All he needs to do is return to his first year form and we have a winner. It's not impossible to think he could better that either.

BrownDog.
First full preseason for the great man in 12 years. Average of 90+ for the big fella.

I chose Didak.

Lots of star players around him to reduce any opposition coach tactics on him.

Can rack the possessions up and kick a few goals.

Hasnt suffered any major injury that would cutail his running ability besides a heartstring.

I still reckon he is a spooner though and wont feature in my side, none of the above-mentioned players will

I'll throw another one in the ring. Jarrad Grant form Western Bull. Some big scores in 2010 then rubbish in 2011. dont think i have the guts to pick him but a good year from the gangly albino wouldn't surprise me.

Adamant

I voted Sandilands he's had plenty of time to recover from his turf toe and was still getting 90's in the last few rounds last year. He should average 100+

Really?

Barlow broke his leg (actually, had his leg broken by Rhys Palmer - I think) after playing 13 of a possible 14 games in his 1st year, then came back the next year and played the last 7 games to finish the season (after a few weeks off with soreness after his first game back - fair enough seeing as he broke his leg!)

Nick Riewoldt has played 20-22 games in 8 of his last 10 seasons.

Wouldn't call either of those guys "injury-prone" myself... Especially compared to Sandi, who - over a 9 year career - has only ever played 1 full, 22 game, season, having missed 35 of a possible 198 games - 17.6%...

I wont be touching Sandi.  Even if he doesnt get an major injury, hell no doubt miss at least 2-3 games being rested and what not.  Grimes and Porplyzia are by far the best options I think.

Although its unlikely Ill be touching Barlow, NRoo, JB; I can understand why some will take the risk.

Another to consider is Bernie Vince, has the talent and scoring potential.  You just need to look at his scores in late 2009 to see that.  Im fairly sure hes on top of his knee issues and for once hes actually looking quite fit.  Could very well average 100-110, not sure if thats good enough for ppls mids though.

Master Q

N.Roo finished
J. Roo on the rise
Brown up there with him
Barlow will be back

I chose Didak.

Am a passionate Collingwood fan and my nonly concern is how often he was used as the sub this year and the competition/similar types we have at the club (Krakouer, Thomas, Blair, Macaffer etc)

Depends how Buckley is thinking too/still rates him.
