Thanks JROO - but if I listened to most of the crap advice they give I'd never even win a league game! Hard to see Honeychurch,Lennon,Salem playing early. Hard to see Boyd being a decent cash cow.

JHK the only lock in there so far...and Crouch is a 50/50 at this stage..looking for JS

Whoops! and yeah thanks for the link though mate  :D

Anyone know much about Tom Langdon and what roll he would play at the pies?

[AaronKirk]

JKH lock.

Crouch and Langdon 50/50 for round one

Lennon would have to show a lot more before round 1 to be an unlikely chance to play.

rest are a firm no at this stage.

[Vinny]

I reckon:

Fuller and McDonald should play, Kolodjashnij and Aylett might.

Lock in Dunstan and Ellis. Martin, Billings, Michie should all play. Sheed, Polec and Beams might.

Nankervis should play, I don't know if anyone else might.

Lock in JKH, Kersten should play and hard to say anyone else will at this stage. Impey if he is lucky I guess.

[Bully]

That list is highly speculative, in fact I'd argue that some may only play a handful of games for the entire season.

The article was by Paige, of SuperCoach Paige and it seems the Herald Sun have recruited a few SuperCoach experts to write articles this year, so they know what they're talking about  :)
But yeah I agree, hard to see Honeychruch and Salem getting many games and I don't think Boyd will be a good pick.

[Peter]

Experts??? Must be kidding with that lot of 10

[Jroo]

Just remember

I've nominated the top 10 TAC Cup players from the class of 2013 who present the best value in your SuperCoach sides this year.

To quote from http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/western-bulldogs-rapt-to-get-junior-star-mitch-honeychurch-at-pick-60-in-afl-draft/story-fni5f22o-1226766800217:

"But Honeychurch, who battled wrist and hamstring injuries this year, fell to the Dogs at No. 60 and they believe the development of their young talent will now be fast-tracked by the introduction of their stand-alone VFL team, Footscray Bulldogs"

Doesn't sound like Honeychurch will be in.

Honestly of that list I think JKH is pretty much the only one I'm looking at anymore, Crouch is good but I don't think he'll get games. Everyone else there pretty meh.

[redfield]

Worst list of 10 you'll see...mostly owing to the fact that there are only 9 names.

[Ricochet]

Ellis
Sheed
McCarthy
Kersten
Nankervis
Crouch
JKH
Hallahan
Dunstan
ZMerrett


Is a much better list for rookies under 170k who I expect to play a fair bit this year

[Bully]

Ellis
Sheed
McCarthy
Kersten
Nankervis
Crouch
JKH
Hallahan
Dunstan
ZMerrett

Good list Rico, others in the vicinity are Polec, Beams, Laidler, Robertson, Rohan and Blease.

Yeah good list, but the list in the article was based on TAC Cup form, so that's why there's no Ellis, Kresten, ect.
