In SC points are actually awarded for kickouts whilst in DT the player must first kick it to themselves and then make a disposal to be awarded any points (as you said).
Cross him off your list, has had a below par pre season so far, whether it be his skills are down/ lack of fitness due to missing out on the earlier parts of the pre season or just fitting into a new team, he isn't playing at his best at this stage. Craig came out and said he is not in the best 22 either so it might be a while before we see him get back to his 09 standards.
Otten is in the best 21.
Not at all, Foley looked in great shape against the Crows (by far the best Tigers player in that game) and also did well the match before. Managed to rack up about 9 touches in the first quarter and didn't much too much of a problem finding it for the rest of the game. I think Sloane could be just as good but Foley is cheaper so it allows you to use the cash elsewhere.
the retirements don't really affect our team much IMO. Macca didn't play the second half of last season, Edwards retired early on, while Goody missed the last 6 games. Smith has played all NAB games so far, but the last game he only played half the match. at best, he might be a sub for his debut game, but at the moment i don't see him making our best 21.5, esp for round 1, unless there were further injuries or fitness concerns over other fringe midfield players.
I think it also has a lot to do with the fact that he hasn't done a lot in the MMC since the lightning carnival round. There are a number of Adelaide youngsters who have been pushing forward, thrusting their names in front of the selectors. Otten isn't one of them. He hasn't been bad, he just hasn't done as much to push his case as many of his immediate peers.
Knights kicked 3 goals. Probably his best performance since breaking down in the 2009 semi final.
