Fantasy Footy for 2014

There's AFL's fantasy football, and there's News Corp's Super Coach. I have chosen the latter because it has auto-fill when you run out of ideas, either from random players or your favourite side.

http://www.afl.com.au/news/2014-03-04/nab-challenge-fantasy-review explains the ins and outs based on NAB cup performance this year. I have taken those performances and, comparing them to last year's results, chosen the following

Defenders
Sam Mitchell (C)
Michael Hibberd
Pearce Hanley
Corey Enright
Will Langford
Xavier Richards
Cameron Giles
Daniel McStay

Midfield
Tom Rockliff
Trent Cotchin (VC)
Bret Deledio
Jack Redden
Jordan Lewis
Ryan Bastinac
Adam Treloar
Bernie Vince
Jonathan O'Rourke
Ciaran Sheehan

Rucks / Followers
Craig Moller
Cameron Wood
Archie Smith
Jason Holmes

Forwards
Dustin Martin
Jack Gunston
Luke Breust
Ben Howlett
Troy Menzel
Nathan Bock
Luke Reynolds
Blaine Johnson

The rookies listed were initially selected randomly as explained above, but then I thought of getting some who had some experience in their legs, and also who had some points from either a good run in the NAB or from previous years: the idea is to "buy" players who are going to get a run, not just sit out... just like in the real thing

We'll see how this works out at the end of Round 1. I still have my wish list ...

[reworked 09Mar14- probably a mistake. Just like putting your tips in and then changing them: they will be wrong and the initial selections will be better]

  1. Traded Michael Hibberd out because of his injury concerns and got Scott (North) Thompson, who averaged 98.16 points last year through 19 games. Also need to trade out Ciaran Sheehan (Carlton) and Nathan Bock (Suns) due to *their* injury concerns: Bock's is an indefinite situation and Sheehan's is for the next week or two.
    A bit ticked that my only Carlton player to earn a guernsey this week (Troy Menzel) was the freakin' sub, and only earned 7 SC points in the last quarter ... spewin'
