Thanks for the write up Zip, awesome job mate.

l agree with you that our backline is the big deficiency, a few injuries there could see us having to play an OOP midfilder there :(
But there is one player there you've discounted that might yet exceed you're expectations, Pears. Apparently he's totally injury free and having his best pre-season ever, when up and going he's in Essendons best 22 so he should end-up being good bench cover.

The Mids, well l dont really have to say anything there....but one big advantage l see come finals time is that l wont be lining up against either Swan or Ablett, who can both influence the result by themselves on any given day

Rucks, yeah they're ok for this year. l do see Belly getting better and l just hope Micky can finally get Kreuzer to live up to his potential

ln the forward line l see Tippett as our joker in the pack come finals time, and looking forward really hope Menzel can get fully fit because the guy could be anything

....again thanks Zip, you're doing a great job with these write-ups mate

I maintain that lez would have flowered up his first round anyway.

last year my first 3 picks all went down to LTIs lol.

4 of 5 my first picks were terrible.

1. Gibbs: terrible pick for 2012 lost dpp and averaged like a bench player
2. Mummy: injured most of the year
3. Priddis: just a spud no clue what i was thinking
5. Lecras: injured all year

pick 4 was probably good enough to cover all those terrible picks.

however 2013 should beo n the up.

1. Gibbs: should finally fulfill why i took him pick 6
2: mummy essentailly turns into goddard
3. priddis basically turned into boyd
4. Cotchin turn into pendles
5. Lecras still a spud pickup

you can see why i got the spoon though.

yeah goldy over mundy anyday in DT. He will come good this year though.

First up Mundy i took round 3 in worlds and they had 18 teams so it wasnt that early a pick. It was a good pick he averaged 107 including subs he was averaging 120 in Sc before he got injured in 11

How many more reviews do you have to do zip ? :) will be interesting to see one for your own team ;)

[Ziplock]

I think there's 6 left... 3 from the top 8, 3 from the bottom 6.

[PowerBug]

39 players on the sweden list will drop their averages by a combined 50 points. The 40th player will incrase their average by 50 points and be the steal of the comp.

That's not even possible...

Which bit?

[Nails]

Most people don't rate us too much 'cause of a shower backline and expect them to go backwards...

Grimes, Lake and Dempster to all improve IMO.

Swedes are coming for you.

[picker_man]

Your a massive chance still imo Nails. Its a very strong team but only problem is, so are Holz, Ele and Nost who all have age on there side in comparisen to you guys. I still think you'll have no probs making semi's and from then on its any one guess :-\

Its actually a really competitive comp and retract any post i made about how it will be boring :P haha

Got a gut feel that Lecca will repay the faith you've shown mate. Possibly not instantly but coming off an extended preseason expect him to come home strong.

My opinion anyway :)

Older =/= lower average

Shane Tuck had his highest average ever as a 30yo last season.

And I think Lake should improve heaps. Thing is like our Dream Teams/SC, each team should get a few injuries here and there, just they can't trade out, other teams have to play lesser averaging players. We don't really have to play that much lesser as we have the (imo) best depth across all teams.

Only reason i mentioned older is becasue during finals in EXV its the last few games of the regular season of AFL where older guys i reckon are a chance to be rested before finals. But as you say you do have good all round depth across every line, hence why i have you as a massive chance ;)

When is the final round this year? Wasn't it like around round 18-19 last year?

round 19 is the final home and away game. round 23 is the grandfinal.

lids averaged 139 against essendon last year so would love for him to repeat that. My major worry is if im playing nost in the final Swanny is playing the roos i would tip 150+
