[tbagrocks]

  Andy Otten
No 22
23yrs Height 192, Weight 92

2012:   6 gms 13.0 pos, 5.0 mks, 2.5 tkl, DT 52.6, SC 64.6   Don't know what happened to his this year
2011: 15 gms 17.8 pos, 4.9 mks, 3.1 tkl, DT 70.5, SC 76.1   Of course he missed 010 through injury, still looked rigged in 011
2009: 24 gms 18.9 pos, 5.8 mks, 1.9 tkl, DT 68.6, SC 76.0

Dream Team $243,900 2013, Bargain if he does make the starting 22, bound to hit back if given the nod

High scores
2012: 81, 83, 71
2011: 87, 83, 96, 76 Rd 17 then he got tired (injured all 2010), 81, 72, 73

played every game in 09 and was incredibly consistant without huge numbers
2009: 69, 72, 73, 62, 91, 65, 69, 75, 87, 65, 92, 68, 61, 81, 84, 86, 76, 72, 82

Super Coach $345,600 2013
High scores
2012: 87, 94
2011: 77, 104, 131, 86, 88, 81

Played every game and showed why he could be a future SC gun
2009: 85, 83, 130, 88, 86, 99, 94, 122, 112, 97, 84, 90, 101

Andy was fantastic in runner up for the rising star in 09 averaging 18.9 disposals, unfortunatelly missed all 2010 with a knee injury, well he came back in 011 to play 15 games but never really looked settled. @012 was a disaster, I started him in my DT at about 340k was a disaster, maybe he didn't impress Sando enough, maybe he never recovered from that knee injury

Adelaide now has as much depth as anyone (had to release a required player, Nick Joyce to satisfy the 3 changes)
Andy now has a battle to even make the 22. Henderson, Reilly, Shaw, Thompson all took his spot in 012 and the they recruited 21 yr old Hartigan and rookie tall rebounder Siggins

Dont let all this fool you, his numbers from 09/11 prove how good he can be, when playing for South Adelaide he gets plenty of footy veery week, far to good for that comp. But can he find that sparkling form that had us all talking.

Andy was also drafted as a midfielder and his midfield numbers for South are good, he will be competing with Smith, Jaensch, Reilly, Thompson, Shaw, Rutten, Hartigan for a defencive role but could still get a wing or mid role making him a very cheap option

In Dream Team for 2013 this guy is super cheap!!!!!!!!!!! If.. he plays a key role early in nab, chances are he will make the 22 for Rd 1, really he's to good not to. This is huge for us DTers, the guy could bolt to 80-85 easilly but will he?

Surely with the confidence from a full pre-season he will just come out and demand to be selected, 18.9 pos ave from 09 means he has to be considered, he can easilly find the 20 pos ave in 2013 and prove to be the player we all thought he was, his SC nimbers from 09 with 130, 122, 112, 101, he can score when he's confident

2013 Predictions: Could go two ways

A. He playes well in nab, forces his way into the 22, gets hold of the footy and becomes a DT bargain

B. Guys like Shaw and Henderson take his spot and he struggles to play 10 games then does a Maric/Knights in October

tbag says
22 games: DT 85, SC 92

P.s. if he does go well in nab, even rounds 1-2, get him into your Dream Team A.S.A.P, trust me. At that price he is a bargain like Varcoe, if he does get midfield time like Heppell, could score similar

 Josh (JJ) Jenkins
  No 4
24yrs Height 197, Weight 104

2012: 11 gms 10.6 pos, 4.6 mks, 5.6 HO, 1.0 gls, DT 61.4, SC 67.9

Dream Team $316,100 2013

2012 high scores: 92, 75, 99, 76

Super Coach $363,300 2013

2012 high scores: 80, 96, 99, 106, 78

JJ was a revelation for Adelaide in his first year of AFL after crossing from Essendon as insurance for $Kurt (pity they didn't trade Kurt), JJ was highly impressive for Sturt kicking goals and winning ruck duels. He forced his way in by Rd 7, played 11 games before Sando decided to only play two tall forwards with the traitor backing ruck. JJ kicked 8 goals for Sturt but couldn't make the final squad when Adelaide lost to Sydney in the Qtr

Blessed with natrual ability and a good chance to play at full forward next year, JJ should improve again seeing he's only played 11 AFL games, the big lad will back Sauce and probably play the third tall with either, Lynch, McKernan or Henderson playing ff

He could be a fantasy gun with 8 goals for Sturt in Rd 24 and some big scores in his first year, those who got him in XVs well done!, he might be to expencive to be considered as he won't be a top two ruck in 2013. But he's mature aged and could still make a great F/R backup

2013 Predictions: DT 75, SC 79, could even be 10 points higher

 Rory Laird, hope for everyone's sake he gets promoted
  No 46
19yrs Height 176, Weight 76

Dream Team $108,500
Super Coach $115,900

2012: Rory as a Half back flank regularly topped over 20 disposals a game, the kid has great skill and is the perfect half back for fantasy punters, still on the rookie list but with Adelaides two year draft penalties, this kid will play for the AFC

I simply love this kid, maybe more than I love Luke Brown. Playing for West Adelaide Seniors all year he matched the great Crouch most games, except Crouch's Prelim 31 pos BOG effort.

The real trouble is That Adelaide has an abundance of flankers, Martin, Reilly, Smith, Jaensch, Otten, Henderson, but imo this guy is the best. Classy, hard, reads the play, uses the ball, Rory is a player that could even string games in the AFL next year

2013 Predictions: Could play but might struggle to get games but... If he does get the go, get on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DT 70, SC 75, but would need to play 10 games, not likely. So 2014 get on!

[tbagrocks]

Tommy Lynch, We at Adelaide love his game
  No 27
22yrs Height 190, Weight 188

2012: 6 gms   9.8 pos, 5.2 mks, 1.2 gls, 1.3 tkl, 55.8, SC 43.8
2011: 5 gms 10.8 pos, 3.2 mks, 0.8 gls, 2.6 tkl,  49.2, SC 52.2

Dream Team $258,900  3013

2012 high scores: Tommy had an 17 pos, 11 mark, 2 goal, DT 103 in Rd 2 v Dogs, how did he not get more of a go? :-\

Super Coach $187,500  2013

Tommy Lynch excites me, a first rounder from 2008, he bolted and looked awesome in the 012 nab only to be overlooked, well Skirt is gone and Adelaide need a FF

Tom played mostely at CHB for Glenelg and had a 35 pos, 16 mark game! This kid can play and bewilders me as to why he missed out in 012

If Tom is named Rd 1 simply get on, he's to athletic and good not to make money at those prices

2013 Predictions: Tough, Adelaides FF role is up for grabs and we Adeliade folk love Tommy, but will Sando agree come Round 1?

Depends if he geyts a decent go

A. He impresses and gets the ff gig, ave 14 pos and 7 marks and kicks 30 goals

B. He is left to rot at Glenelg

DT 75/85, SC 80/95, but that is if he gets the propper go at it

 Sam Siggins Back
No 20
19yrs Height 194, Weight 86

Dream Team $102,700
Super Coach $109,500

From Tassie, Sam adds to the tall defenders Thompson, Shaw, Talia and Truck, Sam is competitive in the air and provides run out of defence much like the other Sam, Shaw making him fantasy viable (think Lake and Fisher). With the lack of talls in Adelaide's defence the 18yr old (19 by next season) could even get games, he's not skinny already a healthy 86 kg and with a summer of weights should be bigger by April

2013 Predictions: Unlikely to play with Adelaide pushing again for top 4, but he still could get a game with injuries, remember Adelaide missed Shaw and Talia in the prelim loss

0-4 games, DT 55, SC 58

[tbagrocks]

  Rory Atkins F/C
No 21
18yrs Height 183, Weight 75

Dream Team $102,700
Super Coach $109,500

Rory came in at nat Draft pick 81 after winning the Calder Cannons B&F with 21 disposals a game, probably picked up to replace Chris Knights and he is a half forward, decent mark and good skills, I get the feeling he can score well in SC and I'm sure with Adelaide's lack of small forward depth Rory could get games ahead of a Riley or Kerridge

2013 prediction: If the injury prone Porplyzia does goe down, Rory could be the man, with Callinan and Petrenko still needing to find good consistancy in their games, again Rory could get the go up forward, with Wright to spen more time on-ball and Knights leaving, a spot opes up on a flank, though it is just as likely he plays SANFL all year much like Kerridge, Grigg, Brown and Lyons this year

Games: 5-10, DT 55, SC 65, again will be a prime candidate for the sub

[tbagrocks]

 Kyle Hartigan
No 41
21yrs Height 192

Dream Team $101,300
Super Coach $108,200

Kyle comes as a mature aged Backman who was one of the best key backs in the vfl the last two years, he's rookie listed but I'd bet he comes in and plays a few games, though logic says Truck and Talia play, Shaw would be unlucky to lose the spor to Kyle.

Truck probably now plays the third or lose tall with Talia, Shaw/Hartigan getting the other key role. I would have to say Kyle would be the better choice here as Sam Shaw is more of a thirt tall rebounding type as would be Siggins, still Adelaide and myself rate Shaw so Kyle could be waiting for injury, unless Dr time catches up with the slow Rutten

2013 prediction: Sure to play at some stage but unlikely to score well, -10 possessions a game, but if he plays could be good bench cover and make 100k like Morris
Games: 5-20, DT 45, SC 50

[tbagrocks]

 Mitch Grigg
No 38
20yrs Height 182, Weight 82

Dream Team $108,500
Super Coach$115,900

Mitch played all in Norwood's Seniors and Reserves this year, a good ball winning midfielder, Mitch beat the likes of Kennedy and Toumpas to be SA's best in the 2011 U18's Carnival and until emerging superstar James Aish this year, was Norwood's youngest ever player in 09

Mitch will continue to develop and should play regularly with Norwood's Seniors next year, it's not out of the question to make an AFL debue, surely he'll get game time in the nab, I like the way he plays he just looks like a footballer, not quick but very much a footballer and he has a good future ahead

2013 predictions: With the arrival of Crouch, the emergance of Riley and Wright, the hard body of Kerridge, Mitch may struggle to play next year, however he has that footy nous and he reminds me of Port's Roger James, could play some games but as always will be a sub candidate

If he does play he will find the ball, DT 60, SC 65
