I honestly can not see where the points will be spread with Sydney, Tippett pinch hitting, Franklin, Jetta, Goodes, Reid ,Parker, Mitchell and H'Berry... Not to mention Jack, JPK, McVeigh and some of the defenders that get off the chain at times??? I see them all having a quiet game at times and ripe for the picking after Rd1, just my opinion tho?!
Yeah true, they're starting to feel like the hawks with their point spread. Part of the reason i'm not too keen on starting Parker is the abundance of mids they have and how much time will Parker actually get, if he does indeed get some time in the mids.
Yeah i've got Sammy Fish, Atley, Parker, Crameri, Hunter, Myers...lol
Yeah that's true. I know a few who got sucked into getting him last year as a quasi premium. Similar to Hanners in a way.
Let's wait and see mate. At this time of year, reckon there is almost a daily story in the papers about this player or that player getting more midfield time. 
I remember reading in one paper that Nick Riewoldt was due for more midfield time in 2014 - LOL - something I find very hard to believe!

This was the latest I heard of Tex's progress... http://www.afl.com.au/news/2013-12-20/tex-tipped-for-shock-return
I'd be surprised by the sounds of it if he was quite ready for round 1. Worth keeping an eye on though.

Hale was the forward ruck last year. He'd drop back after taking a centre bounce and usually attract a defender that was too short for him thanks to Buddy and Roughead taking the best 2 defenders. It worked well in the prelim against Geelong where Hale would find himself matched up on (I can't quit remember) someone like Motlop or Stokes.
I think this year his role will be similar and will take the forward of centre ball ups...but that depends on whether Clarkson is going to get McEvoy to drift back or forward.

You'd think Roughie would be a permanent fixture in the forward line unless circumstances dictate otherwise, all this ensuring Hale shares the ruck duties with BigBoy McEvoy and maybe kicking a few more goals? The reason I'm contemplating him is I see his numbers potentially more consistent than Charlie Dixons who also has the R/F DPP but is almost 40k extra. Also, if Gunston struggles, I reckon it may be Hale who picks up the slack scoring wise... Any thoughts???
I started a similar post in the midfield and ruck sections and figured i would also start one for the forwards.
What are your predictions for the top 6 forwards for Supercoach in 2014?
1. Going by Supercoach average only.
2. Be expected to play 20+ games.
3. Players with DPP status can be included.
Dangerfield - Will be miles ahead of any other forward in 2014 with 110+ average.
Cloke - Contested marking freak and should only improve with the new marking contest rule (my tip for the Coleman medal).
Petrie - Good solid all round player who should average around 100.
N. Riewoldt - Superstar with a freak engine, runs his opponents ragged while getting a decent amount of ball.
Wingard/Monfries/Westhoff - Don't know which one will score the highest so i went all three
Martin, Franklin and Pavlich would be in my list but i think they will probably play around 18 or 19 games.

Hurley could be relevant as a
permanent defender. Idea has been
floated for a while but this is a little
more defintive. Has a real nice kick
when not having set shot.
