Not worried about the rotation cap effecting him Johno? Loves his second half fade out. Gun though will be in my side almost definitely.

Martin had a major problem with second half fade outs prior to last year.

I guess with more experience and development.

Last year he was not impacted by the fade out as much.

He's still young and constantly improving as well.
I'm sure Choco will tune up Martin for a much more consistent 2014.

Definitely lock! lock! lock!

Since there aren't many options up forward next year, Im considering picking 1 of either Motlop or Christensen. Both finished the year off pretty good. Who has more of an upside?

Christensen will explode next year. Unfotunately, some retard at CD/VS made him mid only :'(. Motlop should be good too though.

Make that 3 out of 6 locks.

Here is a few leaks coming in...

A few gun forwards will be under-priced in 2014. Matthew Pavlich is projected to start around the $385,000 mark whilst Taylor Walker is projected to start at roughly $380,000 on the come-back from an ACL Injury.

Maybe 4??

What's everyone's thoughts on Pavlich? He can still ton up but will he able to consistently score for us?
Still at $385K it's not a bad risk to take.

If he can get a reasonable pre season in, I will be strongly considering.

$385k for a guy that until last year which was injury affected has averaged 100+ most years is a steal.

Pavich has a much better chance of being in my starting team than Walker who is next to no chance.

+1, can't see myself not starting with Pav with any type of preseason at that price.

I'm sure this has been discussed but how is everyone feeling about Buddy? And Boomer?

Been a lock for a bit for me (assuming he has a preseason) as I think he'll do what Nroo did this year and because of his strong finals showing.

Buddy could kick 6 goals on debut but after that........
Boomer is super fit for his age and always dangerous. Not really keen to pick him but could change in March.

Buddy for me is a likely started as he will be seriously under priced the only concern for me is how he will handle the smaller ground and being crowded by Goodes and Tippett.

Last year was the first year in a long time I had not had Boomer i n my team at some stage. I feel that he is fully priced so he is an unlikely for me due to potentially better value options being available. Pavlich, Buddy both under priced so don,'t feel there will be any room for him in my starting team, but he is still a solid selection.

SCG SC scores: 77, 146, 101, 80, 20 @ 85 or 101 if we leave out the 20 from his first season. All against Sydney though soooo, probably don't mean anything :D

Mitch Clark has been mentioned. Sounds good. With Roos as new coach at Dees, new game plan, Hogan and a fit Dawes drawing attention from defenders, and improved delivery from a ramped up midfield (Vince and others). Prior year stats are 19x72 / 17x77 / 11x84 / 4x57 with hopefully a decent discount for playing 4 games in 2013. Dees are round 10 bye as well so could be chance to make some coin and then upgrade.

Alex Fasolo should be similarly discounted and should be in best 22 at Pies. Prior year stats are 11x64 / 21x75 / 3x44. With Didak and Thomas gone, reckon there is space for him to be this year's Macaffer.

I tend to avoid key position forwards but there is so much value next year. 'Pavlova' had interrupted pre-season with injury last year and probably wasn't getting any sleep with the new addition to his family. Previous years are 21x99 / 20x105 / 21x111 / 9x81. Whilst I'm not convinced he will return to heights of 2012, plenty of value and Freo have round 10 bye. He's not getting any younger but Freo are team on the up under coach 'He Who Shall Not Be Named' (don't get me started on round 23 last year!).

Buddy has plenty of upside as already mentioned and Dangerfield is locked with the key thrown away (unless some mystery illness strikes him before round 1) with his dual position status regained.

I'm just not sure about picking a mid priced key forward who plays for the dees. While I do expect some improvement from them next year, I can't see Clark scoring well enough to hold up his end of the deal and be JJK like.

At the moment, I'm thinking danger, dusty, buddy, pav, r, r (r, r, r) which I think will be pretty popular.

The interesting thing is that Clark could be cheaper than the Rookies.
