With Dream Team/AFL Fantasy and Supercoach prices, position etc all being released just thought i' would open up a Saints discussion thread for fans/opposition fans to read and see what saints they maybe should look out for. Supercoach Gold is open i would say Dream Team assistant coach isn't far away.
Here are my thoughts on every saints player;
Tom Hickey; With Ben McEvoy gone he could be in for a big breakout season but is yet to put real Fantasy numbers together, i'd probably avoid but maybe worth watching in the NAB Challenge matches.
Arryn Siposs; probably wouldn't touch, but it'll be interesting to see what role he does play under Alan Richardson.
Jack Steven; should be on your watch list he can only improve on his 2013 form being only 24 next season. Although he could get more attention from opposition taggers with NDS gone.
Clinton Jones; Wouldn’t touch him at all in either competitions, unless Richo can get him too have a Kane Cornes 2013 like season as Hinkley did at Port.
Sebastian Ross; I wouldn’t touch him although he could be in for a breakout season I think better options around.
Lenny Hayes; Legend, but 34 years old next season wouldn’t touch him, will be carefully managed and could see the Sub vest.
Trent Dennis-Lane; Don’t touch him.
Tom Lee; Good cash cow in 2013 but wouldn’t touch him this year not sure he’ll produce Fantasy numbers.
Daniel Markworth; Should be on your watch list, unfortunate knee injury that ruled him out of the 2013 season but he was close to make his AFL debut a few times in 2012, he will see game time next season if his knee is fine and form warrants selection.
Leigh Montagna; Brilliant 2013 season I can’t see him having a poor year he is highly priced is a player that won’t be in many sides I don’t think, worth looking at for sure. Be aware of his Round 1 suspension and again could get the opposition tag with NDS gone.
Nick Riewoldt; again brilliant 2013 season and I don’t see him having a poor year next season I can still see him averaging in the 90+ range. But he’ll probably rest in a few games next season so he can manage his knee, I wouldn’t start with him maybe wait for him to decrease in $$ a little.
Adam Schneider; He won’t produce consistent high numbers, better options around. Hamstring’s a worry.
Jarryn Geary; Same as Schneids won’t produce consistent high numbers I don’t think, wouldn’t start with him.
Jack Newnes; Another player I think will be in for a big season next year heading into his 3rd season, not sure he is a fantasy option yet though..
Dylan Roberton; Started the 2013 season well in Supercoach, could only see him improve with gaining the two key defenders. MAYBE worth looking at.
Spencer White; Wouldn’t touch.
Sam Gilbert; Has averaged 90+ before in Fantasy and in 5 of his 9 games in 2013 scored 90+ gaining the two key defenders should release Gilbert to play his preferred position as a rebounding half back or possibly on the wing. I may be crazy but wouldn’t cross his name off.
David Armitage; Did pump out some good scores during the 2013 season and really needs a breakout season, but not sure he’ll be consistent enough with his scores in the Fantasy land. Better midfielders around I’d probably not go near Armo.
Farren Ray; don’t think he is consistent enough with fantasy scores, would pass.
Sean Dempster; I wouldn’t pick him, just my thoughts.
Sam Fisher; He averaged 99 in Supercoach during the 2011 season when he could play his preferred position and not play as a key defender. Now we have gained Delaney and Bruce it should release Fish but I agree with Shaun (stkildathunda) he is probably past his best.
Rhys Stanley; not good enough to select in fantasy yet.
Jimmy Webster; wouldn’t pick him in fantasy yet, not sure he’ll produce the good numbers.
Brodie Murdoch; same as Jimmy Webster
Tom Simpkin; same as above, wouldn’t touch
Terry Milera; will be interesting to see what role he gets under Richo but same as Jimmy Webster here as well I think.
Jimmy Gwilt; With the KPD’s coming in its only good news for Jimmy Gwilt, it’ll release him and he won’t need to play on the gorillas. Cheaply priced (From memory) and is worth being on your watch list. Hopefully he is over the knee worries.
Nathan Wright; Same as Jimmy Webster
Josh Saunders; Same as Jimmy Webster
Beau Maister; wouldn’t touch.
Sam Dunell; Same as Jimmy Webster
Lewis Pierce; Same as Jimmy Webster, yet to debut, still raw will spend a lot of time in the VFL again unless he shows massive improvement.
Tom Curren; Put together some handy scores when he did play in 2013! Big year ahead for the biceps wouldn’t surprise me if he can average 90+. Probably better options around though.
Josh Bruce; Wouldn’t touch is a KPD won’t score much
Luke Delaney; Same as Brucey.
Billy Longer; I’d pick him in Dream Team but not in Supercoach, only priced around $190k in DT and almost $300k in SC. Good R3 option in DT.
Shane Savage; Good mid-priced option, big year ahead I feel for Shane, without the vest in 2013 he scored a few very handy scores. May be worth a look at for sure.
Jack Billings; awkwardly priced under the new rookie pricing system I’m not sure I’d select him, he’ll see games IMO but will also see the green vest I think.
Luke Dunstan; I’m tipping he will play the most out of all our draftees was given a bit of a wrap by Alan Richardson in a Boulder video I think he’ll play Round 1 if he is fit and his NAB Challenge match form is good. I love LD, I’ve had him in all my SC Gold plans
Blake Acres; Again if fit I think he’ll play in 2014 but probably not enough to make a good cash cow.
Maverick Weller; Rookie list won’t get a senior game unless we get a Long term injury early in the season.
Eli Templeton; Averaged 90+ in DT at the U/18 champs I think, but again rookie list won’t get a game early in the season. MAYBE later in the season might be a downgrade option.
Cameron Shenton; rookie, wouldn’t touch.
Darren Minchington; same as Shenton.
