Luke tapscott is one that I think could be very popular in 2010 as both a midfield and forward rookie. He is ready made at 180cm and 86kg (according to fanfooty), was drafted to Melbourne with pick 18 and is thus priced at 91k, should be locked in for at least a few games due to a young Melbourne team, plus he averaged 87ish during the U/18 Champs showing his DT potential. He was also an U/18 All Australian, and I think he would of also played a few games in the SAFL for north adelaide in 2009.
Certainly one to keep an eye on IMO.

Lakey91, it really depends on what path Melbourne take this year. Surely Bailey must attempt to win more games this year, so the potential for him playing rookies will be reduced.
I guess this might be a little early in the season, but a section of the board for potential best 22's would be handy. I've just started searching the team boards to get a feeling for 2010.
I would also assume (can lead to troubles assuming things) that Scully, Trengove and Gysberts would be slightly ahead of Tapscott.
Scully and Trengove look AFL ready and Gysberts I'm not sure he is ready for AFL. Then again this is a forwards section, so I should leave the talk about midfielders out of this section.

Absolutely keep an eye on him. body is afl ready, my worry is Melbourne can only play 22 players. And by picking him i would hope some of those are early on.
I expect blease, strauss, watts, scully, trengrove, tapscott to all get a few games in 2010. There might be 3-4 spots in the 22 for 7-8 young players like these, and if tapscott can push himself above others than he could be a great pick. I think his body already puts him ahead of 2-3 that ive named already though. Just someone to watch...

forwards is definetely where im having the most trouble picking the cheaper players.
was hoping that i would be able to get thoughts on a couple of players.
lindsay thomas: i've heard that he will be moving more into the midfield, im just concerned that he doesn't get the ball enough to improve his price dramatically.
james polkinghorne: from the brisbane board, he seems to be securely in the team as a FP (rotating midfield i assume). i've seen hes a pretty solid overhead mark, but i'm not quite convinced that he will be given enough opportunity, given that Brisbane has traded so heavily.

Polkinghorne is virutally a lock to be in the side and showed good midfield potential last year with clean hands in tight. Given the Lions need for additionaly in and under help there is a fair chance he will get more opportunities in the middle. Whether that translates into more points is a little up in the air but I would expect him to be good for a 10 point increase without too many dramas. Definately a solid option.

Senior List
I'm really considering Chris Mayne for next year.
He seems to be highly rated by Fremantle and was able to play 17 games in his debut year in 2008. While he did miss the first 17 games in 2009, he was able to get back and play the final 5 games. Also from reading the Fremantle Board, he seems to be highly rated, training well and IMO in their Best 22.
Since he only played 5 matches last year, Monty has him given a 20% discount. He is priced at 234K at a 50 average, but averaged 62.8 and 56.9 in 2009 and 2008 respectively. This means he only needs to keep his average or can afford to slightly worsen it and he will still make money.
Also he seems to have a very good DT game. In 2009, he average 4.0 marks, 2.0 goals and 2.8 tackles per games. He also has an approximately 1 : 1 kick to handball ratio, which while not being great is not bad. Also he was able to average 13.1 disposals in 2008 which shows that he is able to get the ball.
So, IMO he could average 65 - 70 in 2009 and because of his discount make the 100K that I would want him to make. He seems to be just as good a prospect as Ziebell and Sidebottom, but much cheaper. At the moment I'm strongly considering him, because it would mean that I would start 1 less rookie on the field, but I would love to hear others opinions???

Has got potential as a DT'er, playing tha half forward role; and will have opportunities at the Dockers.
On the negative side, he seems a very injury prone type and has never cracked the 100 yet in his career (which has consisted of 22 games).
Might be worth the risk, but just from looking at his price there are some others there that look like slightly safer options.

Pretty much summed it up CO, certainly an option to consider. Definitely best 22 when fit.
While Mayne plays forward he pushes hard up to the wings regularly so can get plenty of ball. Brings great energy when he plays and can find space.
Something about him though, he goes missing for long periods then bobs back up. 14 of his 22 lifetime games have been below 60 and he's never cracked the ton. I know Cyril's in a different price range but compare his consistency over his first 2 years to Mayne's. Chalk and cheese.
Not off the radar completely, just a few niggling doubts with so many low scores.

Worries me that, it's unlikely the ball will regularly get pumped into the forward line. Midfield he could just roam around and get the receiving kicks from a HBFlanker; but now he'll be relying on the midfield. Risky business.
Worked pretty well for him in 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008 Playing predominately as a forward, with somewhat the same midfield as the Dockers have now.
2005 - 91pt av. - 61 goals
2006 - 90pt av. - 71 goals
2007 - 102pt av. -72 goals
2008 - 99pt av. - 67 goals
Completely agree. More enticing if he is playing forward more. Also when he was playing forward he was a nice 22 gamer. Past couple of years 19, is that getting older or is it more demand being put on him (midfield) ?
More wear and tear from playing in the midfield. He dropped a fair bit of weight last year so his body could wear the strain, its obviously not good for him. A move back to the forward line should be good for his durability again.
If I may add, with all our kids coming through and getting some players coming back from injuries we probably have the best midfield we have had in a some time.
Haselby, Palmer, Duffield, Ibbotson, Hill, Suban, Crowley, Schammer, along with the continuing dominace of Sandilands.
IMO, I think Pavlich will be more than capable of kicking 65+ goals in 2010.

They are all so-so midfielders though. No genuine stars there.
Palmer and Hill disagree.
Palmer isnt a genuine star. His disposal is lacking serious polish - at this early stage in his career he is an accumulator, nothing more. If he can fix his kicking action, then we will talk.
Still, its an interesting mix that Freo midfield. Certainly a bit more ball winning ability than they have had in previous years.

His only what 19-20 ? Give him alittle time
. He was the life of that Fremantle midfield in 2008. Jobe Watson has lacked some polish with his kicking over his career as well, but he is considered on the brink of becoming an elite midfielder. Back on topic, i belive that Fremantle midfield is on par if not more capablie than previouse Fremanlte midfields to deliver the pill to Pav, so there shouldn't be any issues there.

With the addition of Morabito as well means another spot in the midfield will be taken.
Schammer, Crowley, haselby are the avg midfielders while they have players like Palmer, Hill, Morabito, Suban and Ibbotson as the more class midfielders, who should be played as much as possible as thats the future, right there.
I see PAV playing much more as a forward and maybe even more than 70% with Ballantyne roaming his feet it could be a deadly combination aswell as Mayne for x factor.
