Let's have a look at the players nominated for the 'coach's choice awards' 
Note: if DPP, the player has been selected in the position I have deemed best - generally pure mids in mid only, others open to my excellent and skillful interpretation (lol - sometimes I make myself laugh out loud - lol)
Coaches Award Nominations
ROUND ONE IS HERE! - 26/3/16
Def
1 Brown M (Ess) - 57%
2 Weitering - 52%
3 AMT - 47%
4 Shaw - 39%
5 Dea - 37%
6 Adams - 37%
7 Hartley - 23%
8 Rich - 18%
9 Laird - 15%
10 Rance - 15%
Rookies are the name of the game now! Over 50% of players owning Brown (Ess) and that expensive first year Blues player... AMT very popular, as well as Adams and Dea - interestingly, even though Hartley wasn't named, 23% kept him - I expect that could be either lack of funds or lack of time. SCS favourite Laird into the top 10 at 15%, while SCS discussion point Shaw in 39% of teams - man that is going to hurt if he gets on a roll early...
Mid
1 Danger - 53%
2 Libba - 53%
3 Mills - 49%
4 Ablett - 45%
5 Fyfe - 41%
6 Davis - 38%
7 Rocky - 33%
8 Oliver - 26%
9 Pendles - 24%
10 Gresham - 21%
Mids as you would expect with the lack of choice in the rookies - plenty choosing the one of the big 5, and Libba still popular. Starting team mids this year will be very same same I feel.
Ruc
1 OldGrimey - 32%
2 Goldy - 30%
3 Gawn - 26%
4 Cox M - 23%
5 NicNat - 20%
6 Martin - 13%
7 Lobbe - 13%
8 Blicavs - 11%
9 Currie - 10%
10 Smith - 9%
If the mids are same same, the rucks are not. FEAR THE BEARD moves to third most popular (BB you are a trendsetter), Cox flops to 4th (sorry, couldn't resist). No ruck in more than a third of teams, in fact only 2 premium choices in more than a quarter of teams. As every year, rucks will make and break.
Fwd
1 Kerridge - 67%
2 WellStep? - 60%
3 Chopsticks - 40%
4 Menadue - 39%
5 Barlow - 37%
6 PetRocka - 36%
7 BenKen - 34%
8 Buddy - 22%
9 Hall - 21%
10 De Goey - 18%
Forwards seems to be the place where most understand who they want - the too most popular players are found in Kerridge and Wells in this line. PetRocka in a third of teams (personally, I don't understand this - Roos is not overly fond of the kid at the moment - as he likes basketball or something?). Happy to see Chopsticks in 40% of teams but not in mine after his round 1 score. Buddy and Hall two riskier picks rounding out the top 10.
