I think Shepard is a bigger vest candidate than Yeo. I won't be picking Yeo personally but he really could be a good call ;)

PK

Look out for Matt Shaw! Has increased his average by 10 points each season so expect him to go 80+ this year ;)

I have 2 smokies from the west coast department in Sheppard and Yeo.
Sheppard is a midfielder though
Woops my bad I actually meant to say Colledge instead of Sheppard. Yeo seems to have good job security, and news from the club is that he is training well. Could very well be a sneaky pickup

Sam Siggins and Tom Clurery will go bananas this year.

Tom lives with the Boss himself and living with the Boss you are bound to become a star.

I haves real smoky, J johanissen. I watched him quite closely last year before he was injured and certainly looks promising, picking up more of the ball off a half back flank. Competition for spots on a hbf is reasonably tough, wih the likes of goodes, Howard an fuller also contesting. Last year those johanissen was certainly in the best 22, and I think he is an excellent chance to average 80+ this year. Not sure if I will have the balls to start him though.

I agree, Johanissen was impressive last year and I think he'll improve again this year.

My smokey for the defensive bench is Easton Wood. It's tough competition in the bully's backline this year, but if he's named Rd 1 he's a steal.

We said this about Golby last year or the year before.. Cant remember which one. And he averaged like 70... Hes not going to increase his output by any more than 5 point average..

ScreechRoo

a few others worthy of a mention are broadbent (but played more defensive role last year hence his classification as def this year).

clancee pearce is a little underpriced. he is not the prettiest player to watch but can find the ball and probably wont get subbed so much this year....if he stays injury free.

another defender who is apparantly a ball magnet is sam darley. the bulldogs have excellent fixtures this year and there are a handful of defenders who will fight out a spot.

Darren Glass.
Picked up his first 100 last year....gun  8)

Docherty, will be handy off the half back at the blues.....

What's his JS like though? I have no idea, but I would've thought vests could be an issue for him as well as cracking the 22 at all, would be interested in a blues fans thoughts.

speaking of backline breakouts, brent reilly had a breakout in 2012 at the age of 29. He has his 30 now but was injured most of last year and is therefore quite a bit underpriced.
