Top 5 position 2013

[KoopKicka]

DEF: Goddard, Gibbs, Grimes, Birchall, Lake
MID: Abblett, Swan, Cotchin, Beams, Ebert
RUC: McEvoy, Mumford, Ryder, Jacobs, Leuenberger
FWD: SJ, Buddy, Rockliff, Zaha, Robbo

Ebert ahead of Pendles, Watson, Boyd :o

Pendles and Sidey will IMO suffer from Ball being back, Watto same with Goddard, IMO many teams will deploy two tags, one on Watto and one on Goddard, they can afford to let one free, Boyd, he needs help desperately.

What do you think Ebert will average?

120 if Hinkley isnt a dud and stops floating his help down forward (Wingard, Broadbent), anyway Ebert will never be tagged, hes behind Boak and Cassisi.

[Scrads]

Things things are really hard to guess but I will give it a shot anyway...

B: Goddard, Gibbs, Birchall, Hartlett(srs), Suckling

M: Ablett, Swan, Beams, Pendles, Murphy (before someone points it out, yes I named my hopeful 5 starting mids on purpose :P)

R: Sandilands (assuming this is by average not total points), Mummy, Cox, Goldy, McEvoy

F: Buddy, SJ, Rocky, Robbo, Martin(srs lol)

[Adamant]

Only confident in the midfield and forward order :P

DEF: Gibbs, Goddard, Grimes, Birchall, Waters

MID: Swan, Ablett, Beams, Pendles, Murphy

RUC: Sandilands, Goldstein, Cox, McEvoy, Maric

FWD: Stevie J, Franklin, Rockliff, Robinson, Pav

[tbagrocks]

Seriously like why aren't people putting in Maric? ???

Your dreaming, Ebert will be lucky to be in the top 20

On another note its interesting that Naitinui isn't getting much love here yet I've seen him being tossed up a lot as a starting ruck this year

If Brad Ebert averages 120 I'll buy a lifetime Port membership!

MIDS- Swan, Ablett, Pendles, Cotchin, Beams
RUCKS- Maric, Goldy, Cox, Ryder, Mcevoy
FORWARDS- Buddy, Stevie J, Rocky, Robbo, Sylvia (Will finally put it all together)

[Scrads]

Players so far in 100% of all these predictions:

B: Gibbs

M: Swan, Ablett

R:

F: Buddy

They are the only ones. Mind you Goddard and SJ were both not selected in only one persons estimates (and it was tabs for both of them).

Are those 4 like, super-ultra-locks ? :P

Gibbs, Ablett and Buddy all pretty much are but Swan's price tag puts doubt over his spot. There's no doubt that he will easily be in the top 5 but could he really have another year where he goes that good? I mean he's certainly not gonna be getting more expensive from there, 1 injury affected score of 50 or so would drop him heaps

B: Gibbs, Grimes, Goddard, Scotland, Burgoyne

[newfreofan]

Can't believe not a single person listed NicNat in the top 5 rucks... He will be massive next year.

Not a big stats man but has a good influence over the game.
