2014 - DPPs, discounted players, breakouts, underpriced etc.....

[Adamant]

not sure if there are gonna be any good defenders at all next year if Heppell, Gibbs, Hartlett and Goddard go MID only   ::)

We'll have Jarrad McVeigh, Sam Mitchell, Pearce Hanley, Grant Birchall, Beau Waters, Andrew Walker, Kade Simpson, Matt Suckling, Toby Greene, David Swallow, Nathan Bock to name a few.

At least, they're the ones I'm thinking about atm anyway...

Will all those guys be DEFs?

Can't see Mitchell or McVeigh as DEFs     :-\

McVeigh and Mitch have been playing across half-back all year. If guys like Bartel, Rockliff, Hartlett etc have been given DPP in the past, I really can't see why those two wouldn't be either.

Wouldn't think Mitchell would get it but McVeigh should, not too sure about Toby Greene either

[Mr.Craig]

I could see Bartel as a Back/Mid.

[RookieDTer]

I think McVeigh is the player I am MOST likely to get.
Great D1/2.

Might take a risk on BOck as well... he has to be underpriced.

Though, Harper, Karnezis, Varcoe and Byrnes all failed this year.

Gibbs should keep defender status imo. Has been playing in defence in the second half of the year... not sure if it will be enough though

We'll have Jarrad McVeigh, Sam Mitchell, Pearce Hanley, Grant Birchall, Beau Waters, Andrew Walker, Kade Simpson, Clancee Pearce*, Matt Suckling, Toby Greene*, David Swallow*, Nathan Bock to name a few.

* = The ones I'm a little unsure if they'll actually be defenders or not.

At least, they're the ones I'm thinking about atm anyway...

I would love if Swallow or Simpson to be defenders, would be locks in my sides :)

I don't think Mitchell or Swallow will though :(

Here is how my team is looking, tried my best to consider cash

DEF: McVeigh, Walker, Simpson, Suckling, rookie, rookie (rookie, rookie)
MID: Swan Pendlebury, Sheuy, Zaharakis, D.Swallow, Sheed, Martin, rookie (rookies, rookies)
RUCK: Naitanui, McEvoy (rookie, rookie)
FWD: Riewoldt, Franklin, Wellingham, Thomas, Watts, Billings (Hogan, rookie)

Watts if he does change clubs to Carlton or Freo ;)

Karnezis should be a good pick next year.

Karnezis should be a good pick next year.

Depends who he gets traded to  ;)

[specky92]

I could see Karny become a saint

[Rusty00]

Anyone interested in Toby Greene next year? 96 average last year before the second year blues struck resulting in a 77 average and a $140k price drop.

If he could average 90+ again would be worth a look at that price at the start of the year.

[specky92]

Is he getting tagged or putting on a tag, what role is he playing because obviously something changed?

I think a bit of both as well as some experimentation with him. I remember one game where he was playing in defense on one of the small forwards - Garlett I think it was.

[specky92]

Interesting, definitely worth a look

[popedelio]

I think the reason green was experimented is due to the fact that he was a terrible user of the footy, one area he needs some improvement before I consider to pick him up. I've also put in a lot of effort looking at stats and breakouts, I would avoid Green next season and would get him in 2014 :)

Do you mean 2015?  ;)

His disposal efficiency isn't that important for DT, although if as you say his midfield time is being limited because of it then that would obviously not be ideal.
