Anyone with some serious potential for a breakout year? Would love some ideas.  ;D

Brown - Christensen - Stanley

In that order.

Id rate watts to outscore christo each to their own. Id love to have hurley he excites me but struggles with consistency eventually he will smash it just when. Didak is not bad.

Ziplock

Green- Proven 95+ premium forward. Will the captaincy being gone take pressure off his shoulders, and will he recapture form with an open midfield spot, and mitch clarke to play deep in the forward?
Didak- Injury riddled, premiership player, AA as well if memory serves (and it mighten't), issues with form. Would be interesting to see if bucks could reinvent him, as malthouse did to davis.
Watts- Young, kpf, playing in an improving side as a first draft pick. I've got him in my euros, so I hope he fires for the next half decade at least :P His team will be pushing for the 8, and looking for him. Clarke should take some pressure off, giving him more space. Only issue is his consistency- scored his highest vsing top 8 teams, and lowest vsing bottom 8. Still have a low ceiling, I give him a solid chance for 90+ though.
Dangerfield- high draft pick, really skilled player, has improved his tank in the offseason, and should see more midfield time. That being said, has burnt many a coach in his time. If he carves up NAB, get on.
J. Riewoldt- Many forwards have a down year following a break out, and J Voldts was ridden by injury as well. Developing richmond forwards should take SOME pressure off, but a bulk of the work will still fall to him. I think he can bounce back, and average high 80s at the least (just doesn't fit my structure atm). People say how Martin is stealing points with goals, but even removing injury from the equation, the goals riewoldt lost compared to his coleman year equated to around 4ppg for dt from memory. Hardly enough to justify his slide.
Darling- This boy will be a really sneaky unique, although one I'm a bit skeptical on. You'd really be wanting a 20ppg increase from him (which is entirely possible). Finished the season slowly as he tired, hence drop in scores. Would be interesting to see who has the gonads for him :P

Purple 77


I like Didak... He seems to have one good year, one bad year... so he's due

Torpedo10

Christensen, Watts, Dangerfield, Stanleyand even Westoff. all suitable options.

Windigo


Jukes

Can't believe nobody has mentioned Jason Winderlich.  At 246k you'll be saving yourself 150k and he's a gun. Averaged 90's in 2010 before his acl last season, which he has recovered from well. A steal.

players coming back from ACL are always risky in their first year.

didak would surely have to be the best value outside of J Brown.

.....Gray for $402,000?

I like this guy. Started to show his true potential last year and I think can push his average up again this year.

Looks like he'll struggle to get into the midfield, it seems he's being groomed to play a forward tagging role.

Never played a full season and now coming off an ACL? His best asset is his speed and this will have been severely hampered by the injury also is there a spot in Essendon's young midfield? I doubt it. I expect 60's from him maybe 70's.

The F.A.R.K.

In order

Westhoff
Dangerfield
Ballantyne
Dawes
Christensen

westhoff will be playing as a ruck coz lobbe is injured and he absolutely own when he is in middle

Looked at the injury info. Still in rehab and no mention of him playing NAB Cup. I'd want to see him in NAB before getting on.

His potential is enormous. Hugely Undervalued IMO.
