MAGIC NUMBER IS IN!!!

It is either 5397, or 5396. I've only got a sample size of one atm, with Goldstein named at $695,100 after an average of 128.8 in 2015.

Robbie Gray MID only
Taylor Adams MID only
Tom Mitchell MID only
Michael Barlow MID/FWD
(Daisy Thomas DPP also)

Stefan and Goldy both Ruck only
Does that make Barlow one to become more relevant now?

Thoughts?

Team picker available next week for SC gold subscribers. Huzzah!

There is a typo in the article: "Brett Deledio comes in at 10th and is the most expensive forward at $508,800". Almost wet my pants seeing Lids at $500k up forward.

Brodie Smith (Adel) Defender-Midfielder is nice.

Full Herald Sun article:

GARY Ablett might have lost his mantle as SuperCoach’s most expensive player but the little master’s price tag is still sure to generate plenty of debate.

North Melbourne’s Todd Goldstein’s stellar 2015 campaign in the ruck sees him as the most expensive player available at a tick under $700,000.

Ablett, on the other hand, was hampered by his shoulder injury early in the season and then after three impressive mid-season games he was struck down by a knee injury.

Usually, the Gold Coast captain would have been eligible for a 10 per cent discount after only playing six games, which would have seen him priced at $560,100.

We don’t want to be too generous, instead you can pick him up for $623,200, which is still the cheapest he’s been since 2008.

Ablett is the fifth most expensive player in 2016 with Goldstein, Nat Fyfe, Patrick Dangerfield and Scott Pendlebury ahead of him.

Brett Deledio comes in at 10th and is the most expensive forward at $508,800, slightly ahead of Heath Shaw, the most expensive defender at $607,800.


THE TOP 10

Todd Goldstein (NM, Ruck) $695,100

Nat Fyfe (Frem, Mid) $670,600

Patrick Dangerfield (Geel, Mid) $647,000

Scott Pendlebury (Coll, Mid) $627,200

Gary Ablett (GCS, Mid) $623,200

Dan Hannebery (Syd, Mid) $617,900

David Mundy (Frem, Mid) $612,600

Dayne Beams (BL, Mid) $612,100

Matt Priddis (WCE, Mid) $611,200

Brett Deledio (Rich, Fwd) $608,800


CHANGING PLACES

While player prices are important, dual position status is perhaps one of the most hotly debated changes every SuperCoach season.

It will be no different in 2016 as several high profile players lose or gain a secondary position.

Robbie Gray is perhaps the biggest name, after being a hugely popular midfield-forward option for the past couple of seasons the Port Adelaide star is now a midfielder only.

Perhaps the biggest surprises come in the forward line with ball magnets Leigh Montagna, Michael Barlow and Toby Greene all getting dual position status.

Montagna is the 12th most expensive player in the game after averaging 111 points in 2015.

In defence, it’s the return of two old favourites; Jimmy Bartel and Jarrad McVeigh.

After losing DPP eligibility last season, the pair are back in defence while Brodie Smith gains midfielder status and Matt Rosa provides some value as a backman.


KEY CHANGES

Robbie Gray (Port) Midfielder only

Marcus Bontempelli (WB) Midfielder only

Tom Mitchell (Syd) Midfielder only

Luke Hodge (Haw) Midfielder only

Brodie Smith (Adel) Defender-Midfielder

Jarrad McVeigh (Syd) Defender-Midfielder

Jimmy Bartel (Geel) Defender-Midfielder

Toby Greene (GWS) Midfielder-Forward

Michael Barlow (Frem) Midfielder-Forward

Leigh Montagna (StK) Midfielder-Forward


ROOKIE WATCH

Cash Cows. Perhaps the key to a successful SuperCoach season.

First year players and youngsters who have been cruelled by injury or lacked opportunity.

Christian Petracca - the No.2 draft pick in 2014 is returning from a knee reconstruction - is sure to be popular with a price tag of just $123,900.

Word from the Melbourne training track is the young gun is progressing well and could be available for the NAB Challenge, which would boost his SuperCoach stocks even further.

Top 2015 draft picks Jacob Weitering and Josh Schache are the most expensive draftees at $220,800 and $216,300 but their limited scoring potential makes them a no go.

The names Jed Anderson, Jarrad Jansen, Ben Kennedy, Nathan Freeman and Sam Kerridge are also expected to be popular but we’ll have more on that later.

MOST EXPENSIVE DRAFTEES


Jacob Weitering (Carl, Def) $220,800

Josh Schache (BL, Fwd) $216,300

Callum Mills (Syd, Mid) $211,800

Clayton Oliver (Melb, Mid) $207,300

Darcy Parish (Ess, Mid) $202,800

Aaron Francis (Ess, Def-Mid) $198,300

Jacob Hopper (GWS, Mid) $193,800

Callum Ah Chee (GCS, Fwd) $189,300

Sam Weideman (Melb, Fwd) $184,800

Harry McKay (Carl, Fwd-Ruck) $180,300



BUT WAIT, THERE’S MORE

Don’t worry the SuperCoach reveals are just getting started.

From Monday we’ll have in-depth position reviews with the must-have players, fallen premiums and rookies to watch.

For 2015 SuperCoach Gold subscribers the always highly-anticipated SuperCoach Team Picker will launch on Wednesday.

Get a head-start on your mates and start shaping your 2016 line-up.

I'm interested to know about whether DPP makes Smith more relevant. He'll be priced around 415k, but we already knew that, and we knew he'd be a defender, and I'd never pick him in the midfield. Is it just because of the flex of being able to move him around between lines?

Also, the words from the Crows coach that his best position is in defence has me even more worried.

Wasn't he in defense in 2014? You could argue that his season was cruelled by his concussions. He seemed to play games that he shouldn't have played and his time on ground went down 10%.

He was primarily in defence in 2014, my point was more how does the addition of DPP make him a lock. One season above 90 and 20 games are the bigger worries for me.

Anyone who has DPP is more relevant than someone who does not.

Brodie Smith is a fallen premium who should at least climb to $500k by the byes. It was a frustrating year to have him but you can surely attribute a lot of his poor scores to his 2 concussions. The encouraging thing was that his disposal count was still in the 20+ range, his disposal efficiency was just well down. I think most people would have considered him as a defender in 2016, so having the D/M flexibility almost makes him a must have.

Whenever I hear about concussions now I think about Jonno Brown saying he felt drunk for weeks after he got hit. I think it's easy to just classify it as a head knock and assume they will be right next week when that's probably not the case. Brodie Smith copped two pretty bad ones and as someone mentioned played the following week when he probably shouldn't have.

I agree with everything except the fallen premium bit. One good year doesn't make a premium. But I do think he is young enough and cheap enough to be considered and has shown that he can score well.

100% agree, I'm still considering, I just didn't think he was a lock at all. After last year I'm feeling cautious about selecting any defenders between the 400k - 430k range.
