With the assistance of the smart dudes at Football Salvation (they discovered a formula to approximate next years prices) I decided to pick a few random names in my head, and check them in a little more detail. By risky players, I mean the players that are going to cost you some coin, but have to potential to be your hero or (dt heaven forbid)……… your numb nut zero. I will pick some guys as I go, some may be coming back from injury, change of coach, change of team, change of team mate, i dunno, ill just talk about some dudes to give you something to read for 5 mins.

Adam Yze (pictured in the magoos)-  Funny name, funny player. He can be one of the best dters in the game on his day. Two weeks later he can be kicking the Stewart Dew off the ground in the seconds. He is 30, (is he too old to improve?) last year he managed only 8 games… so that would suggest to go no where near him, especially at a projected price of 308, 000. He missed games through both injury and more so, being dropped. Not usually a guy I would look at, however, an average of 80 last year with a coach that didn’t rate him, and now, a new coach that has put him vice captain…..the only way is up baby…. Or is it? 

Travis Johnstone- Down at fraggle rock (clap clap), grab travis Johnstone by the cock, swing him round your head, this fraggle is far from dead!! Look for a new lease of life from TJ as a lion. Far less pressure with the likes of lappa, Adcock, power, black etc, flying the flag and copping the tags. Tj had 45 touches or so in is last game, the kid can play. Only managed a piss poor average of 77 from 15 games last year with some horrid scores in that. Will be at a bargain basement price of 303. He sounds like a sure bet, however, is there room in the stacked lion midfield….. will they throw him on a flank….. tough call.

Nick Stevens- Now Nick is roughly estimated to cost between 290-310 depending on what the powers that be decide about his return from injury. Last year he was averaging just under 80 whilst copping the number 1 tag. Apparently the blues have some new guy that may take some attention off stevo, I think they call him juddy or something. A tough call due to the return from a serious injury, and the amount of big ball winners around him. Midfield for carltoncould have the likes of judd, carazzo, murph, brice pfft, Scotland, simpson etc. With the blues set to play more defensive this year, don’t expect the huge dt scores from the boys last year in the shitty thrashings they copped each week. Ask Jonno Brown!! See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8b4KcM4ajHk

Nathan Bock- Will he play back?, will he play forward? Will he actually get the bloody ball and score any freaking points in the game where you are playing tackling tit head and need bocky to score a measly 30!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Aaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh, sorry, I got carried away with a personal issue between me and the bockster last year. Same as always, bockster is a legend, and shit dter. Average 70, price 270. That’s not actually that bad, im seriously a chance to get back on board!! Toot toot the bock train!!

Mystery player- There is a guy tackling tit head mentioned to me the other day that is back from injury. Tit said im not allowed to write this guy otherwise he will throw his fist at me. As his fist looks like a wrecking ball, ill keep it to myself.
