1
00:00:05,519 --> 00:00:09,680
Speaker 1: Hey everyone. DOSSI here from the Official Supercoach podcast and

2
00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:13,560
Speaker 1: the Phantoms Lair, going solo today for my very first

3
00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:18,080
Speaker 1: team reveal of twenty twenty six, perhaps the first Super

4
00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:22,680
Speaker 1: Coach team reveal of twenty twenty six altogether. Today we

5
00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:26,480
Speaker 1: are on January first, twenty twenty six. Happy New Year everyone.

6
00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:29,080
Speaker 1: I hope you had a great New Year and sticking

7
00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:32,840
Speaker 1: to those news resolutions. Surely not too hard on day one,

8
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:35,960
Speaker 1: but if you are listening to this midway through January,

9
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:39,880
Speaker 1: hopefully they're still going strong. We'd love to know what

10
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 1: your new's resolution is. If you do have one, leave

11
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:45,919
Speaker 1: that in the comments. Mine's pretty basic, you know, try

12
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:48,120
Speaker 1: to work on a bit of the running, maybe reduce

13
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:51,440
Speaker 1: those splits a little bit. But in terms of super Coach,

14
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:56,400
Speaker 1: my news resolution, save trades. Save trades. Everyone. Remember this

15
00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 1: in April, in May, and in June. I need to

16
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:04,240
Speaker 1: save a few trades because later in the season, back

17
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 1: half of the season, I'm always running out, and I

18
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 1: always seem to run out towards the end of the year,

19
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:13,679
Speaker 1: my ranking plummets. So note to myself, my Super Coach

20
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:17,679
Speaker 1: News resolution is to save those trades at some points

21
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 1: in the season. Use them when you need to, but

22
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 1: save them at some points. Now let's get onto the

23
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:25,679
Speaker 1: team reveal. This is my first Super Coach twenty twenty

24
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 1: six team reveal. I mean I did leave a I

25
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 1: think it was a day one over on my Instagram

26
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 1: DOSSI sc if you want to check that out the

27
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 1: very first day. But this is the real thing. This

28
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:39,640
Speaker 1: is I've had some time to digest what I want

29
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 1: to do in my team. This is a very early edition. Obviously,

30
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 1: rookies are subject to change, as they always are. We

31
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:49,560
Speaker 1: need to see a lot more information on our rookies,

32
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 1: a lot more information on all of these players. But

33
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 1: I really like this team, so I'm excited to share

34
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 1: with you how we're going to do this. I'm going

35
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 1: to build it just from defense through to midfield, so

36
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 1: I'm going to do it as we go. Just a

37
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 1: note to anyone that doesn't know, you can only create

38
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 1: your team in Super Coach Team Picker at the moment. Now.

39
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:12,679
Speaker 1: The game will open up to everyone later in January,

40
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 1: but right now it is exclusive to Super Coach Plus subscribers.

41
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 1: But if you're listening to Super Coach content at this

42
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 1: time of year, you must be a serious Supercoach, and

43
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:24,680
Speaker 1: every serious supercoach pretty much need super Coach Plus. I mean,

44
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 1: if you want to see the break evans, if you

45
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 1: want to see some projected scores, if you want to

46
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:32,360
Speaker 1: do your buy round planning, all that stuff that comes

47
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:34,400
Speaker 1: with super Coach Plus. I mean, the break evens are

48
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 1: an absolute must have. So it's twenty nine ninety five

49
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 1: for the entire year. If you want to jump in

50
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:41,800
Speaker 1: get a month head start on the rest of the competition,

51
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 1: now is your chance. Lastly, if you're listening on Spotify, Apple,

52
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:49,119
Speaker 1: I do highly recommend for this particular episode, jump over

53
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:51,800
Speaker 1: onto Code Sports YouTube channel. As I said, I'm going

54
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 1: to be building the team. There's going to be visual

55
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 1: elements to this as we go, So with that in mind,

56
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 1: I will try and accommodate if you do like to listen.

57
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,839
Speaker 1: I personally like a little bit of listening myself when

58
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 1: I'm listening to my pods, but highly recommend Code Sports

59
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:09,359
Speaker 1: YouTube channel for those listening at home. Now let's get

60
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 1: stuck into this team super Coach twenty twenty six. Let's go.

61
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:16,239
Speaker 1: I'm going with n Zai Wang Nan Millerer. I think

62
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:19,399
Speaker 1: there are arguments to not starting with him. He does

63
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 1: have a buy in round four, but we can see

64
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:24,800
Speaker 1: how his opening round score goes against the Magpies and

65
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:27,960
Speaker 1: make a final call. But they have Melbourne, who I

66
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,120
Speaker 1: mean didn't get the three votes but did it now

67
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:34,080
Speaker 1: super coach hearts GWS and Brisbane, so he'll get a

68
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 1: price change in there, which you know, he could drop

69
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 1: in price and we could maybe pounce afterwards. But I

70
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 1: want him as a keeper. I think he's the clear

71
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 1: number one defender. I know he is available here as

72
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 1: the number one guy, and I think he'll retain that

73
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 1: status in twenty twenty six. He's going to be moving

74
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 1: into the midfield. He's going to be awesome. We don't

75
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 1: need to speak more about it, but I am an

76
00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 1: advocate of starting with him, although I don't have a

77
00:03:59,880 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 1: heap of guys starting on the early buy with those

78
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 1: early by rounds. I might quickly touch on it at

79
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 1: the end as well, but yeah, Nazaire, just lock him in.

80
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 1: Same with Connor Rosie, and he's a guy who I

81
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 1: will talk about a little bit more just port players

82
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 1: in general. I'll touch on this a little bit later,

83
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 1: but their first four games are insane, so I want

84
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 1: Connor Rosie in my team. I think he's another guy

85
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 1: that regardless of position, same as Naz really if he

86
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 1: plays defense, if he plays midfield, he's still going to

87
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 1: go likely one hundred plus and hopefully into one hundred

88
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 1: and ten sort of area at minimum two really solid

89
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 1: premiums to start the defense. Now is when I get

90
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 1: a little bit sort of going into that mid price bracket.

91
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:49,599
Speaker 1: And a guy that started pretty slow last year but

92
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:52,839
Speaker 1: moved back into his preferred role in half back, and

93
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 1: we saw Colby mckircheer at North Melbourne have a really

94
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:58,240
Speaker 1: strong second half of the season. He was in a

95
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 1: lot of our teams, and his price what his average

96
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 1: was last year at eighty three, I think he's well

97
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:08,280
Speaker 1: underpriced for what he can produce and heading into his

98
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:10,479
Speaker 1: third year now, I think Colby is in for a

99
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 1: big breakout. So I think you'll be the number one

100
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 1: guy off half back, get heaps of handball receives and

101
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 1: be a huge addition to my super coach team as well.

102
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 1: And funnily enough, this guy is right underneath My next

103
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:27,040
Speaker 1: player is right unerneath Colby. So priced also at around

104
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 1: eighty three, which is what he averaged last year. Also

105
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 1: a guy that some of us went as a point

106
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 1: of difference late last year as well or middle of

107
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:40,159
Speaker 1: last year Miles Bergman for Port Adelaide. So I've already

108
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:42,599
Speaker 1: got two Port players. There's a couple more to come,

109
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 1: I'm afraid as well, but Miles Bergman, there's already news.

110
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 1: Josh Carr, the Newport Adelaide coach, has sort of flagged

111
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 1: him as a more midfield time candidate. Now, we do

112
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 1: love our more midfield time calls early in the preseason.

113
00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 1: They don't always come to fruition, but in this I

114
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 1: think it's it's gonna come true. Because last season, when

115
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:08,360
Speaker 1: this guy averaged over fifty percent center bouncers, he averaged

116
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 1: one hundred and eight super Coach points across six games.

117
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 1: So it's a smallish sample size, but I've really loved

118
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:18,240
Speaker 1: Miles Bergen the moment I saw him at Port Adelaide,

119
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:20,599
Speaker 1: went down to a training a few years ago. This

120
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,600
Speaker 1: is complete enoughy areas, but remember seeing the way he

121
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:26,040
Speaker 1: was going about it back then, and I thought he

122
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:28,839
Speaker 1: was gonna become sort of an amazing player a little

123
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:32,159
Speaker 1: bit earlier than has come to fruition so far. But

124
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 1: I think this could be the year that Miles Bergmann

125
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:38,719
Speaker 1: really does elevate himself into a possible star of the competition.

126
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 1: He's got that sort of pedigree. So Miles Bergmann is

127
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 1: in my defensive line at the moment. Another guy I

128
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:47,880
Speaker 1: like in that spot as well. I'm dropping Zeke Yuland

129
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:49,600
Speaker 1: in the team for now. But another guy I like

130
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:53,480
Speaker 1: in that mid price bracket is Trent Rivers. But I

131
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:56,840
Speaker 1: think Miles Bergman has a bit more data, even if

132
00:06:56,880 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 1: it's small sample size than Trent Rivers. Does love Trent

133
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 1: Rivers as an option. If he does move into the

134
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:05,160
Speaker 1: midfield as well for Melbourne, that's a watch and see.

135
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 1: But for now those are my four kind of premiums

136
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 1: and mid prices. Now we're moving into the rookies. Now,

137
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 1: zeke Uland high draft pick, could have possibly gone number

138
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:18,560
Speaker 1: one if he wasn't tied to an academy But zeke

139
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 1: Uland unreal talent, and I'll be jumping on board him now.

140
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:24,559
Speaker 1: I'm going to go another Gold Coast son as well

141
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 1: in Dylan Patterson, a guy that dropped a ninety and

142
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty in his last two games in

143
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 1: the VFL last season. Another academy pick for the Suns,

144
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 1: and you can see why a few guys left a

145
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 1: few vets left the Suns last year, because these guys

146
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 1: are coming through and by all accounts, they could get

147
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 1: a game almost immediately. So those two guys are on field.

148
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 1: And the other reason they're on field the Sun's beginning schedule.

149
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:55,880
Speaker 1: Their first three games, it's Richmond and West Coast that

150
00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 1: are the two that are going to be counting for

151
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 1: super Coach, So they have opening round. Can obviously assess

152
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:03,160
Speaker 1: how they go on Opening Round. But then their first

153
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:05,080
Speaker 1: two games they accounting for super Coach are going to

154
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:08,640
Speaker 1: be Richmond and West Coast, which is just ludicrous. So

155
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 1: jump on board if they've got If these rookies are

156
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:14,760
Speaker 1: going to have a chance to score, it's against those teams. Obviously,

157
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 1: teams change over time, but I think those two teams

158
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 1: are going to be pretty safe to still score pretty

159
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:24,360
Speaker 1: well against in twenty twenty six. On the bench, just

160
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 1: going for some standard one standard players that have been

161
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 1: spooked early this preseason. Josh Lindsey a guy in the

162
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 1: Rookie Bible, which is out now codesports dot com dot au.

163
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 1: Jump on board there. I'll leave a link in the

164
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 1: description for the Rookie Bible as well and Jays Wrong

165
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:45,920
Speaker 1: who is a mature age player going across obviously brother

166
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:49,720
Speaker 1: of Caleb, but going across to Sydney, completely different player,

167
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 1: key position, gonna hopefully slot in at Sydney as well,

168
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:58,240
Speaker 1: and had high ninety averages in the VFL last season.

169
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 1: So I'm going to jump into the midfield now, but

170
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:04,960
Speaker 1: that is the defensive line. We've got Naz Rosie Mckirtcheer

171
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:09,439
Speaker 1: Miles bergman Ezekiel and Dylan Patterson, Josh Lindsay and joy

172
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 1: Sarong get into my midfield and I'm starting off. So

173
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:18,439
Speaker 1: we're skipping past the bond but we're going to the

174
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:21,120
Speaker 1: number two guy here in Zach Butters. One hundred and

175
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:25,960
Speaker 1: twenty one average last year contract year. Now, this might

176
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 1: mean not mean anything to some people. I love the

177
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:31,679
Speaker 1: contract year. This guy's going to get a huge contract

178
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:34,120
Speaker 1: at the end of it. And regardless, you just want

179
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:37,439
Speaker 1: to perform your best anyway. But if you know there's

180
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:39,440
Speaker 1: a bit of incentive at the end, at the end

181
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:44,000
Speaker 1: of the tunnel here and Zach Butter's contract year plus now,

182
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:47,440
Speaker 1: I said I'd mention it again. Port's schedule to start

183
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:52,320
Speaker 1: the season is North Melbourne Essendon West Coast and Richmond.

184
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:55,800
Speaker 1: I'm in my goodness, that's handed on a silver platter

185
00:09:55,920 --> 00:10:00,600
Speaker 1: for a month of super Coach greatness. He's a VC

186
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 1: or C option every single week. So Zach Butter's for me.

187
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 1: Given the fact that some of the other high options,

188
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:11,200
Speaker 1: such as a Marcus Bontepelli, have the early buy, Zach

189
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:13,319
Speaker 1: Butters does not. And he's got a month to start

190
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:16,920
Speaker 1: the season where he could be averaging easily what he's

191
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:18,640
Speaker 1: priced at at one hundred and twenty, he could go

192
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:21,680
Speaker 1: won thirty one forty in the first month of the season.

193
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:24,959
Speaker 1: So jumping on board that, I am going at a

194
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 1: sort of more discounted prices from here. So I'm jumping

195
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:31,320
Speaker 1: over a lot of these one thirties and one twenties

196
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 1: and one fifteens of last year, and I'm going right

197
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:37,480
Speaker 1: down to a guy who only averaged and only I

198
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:39,960
Speaker 1: say just because I rate him that highly, is Caleb

199
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:43,440
Speaker 1: Sarong averaged one hundred and five point seven last season.

200
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:45,920
Speaker 1: I think he can go a lot better than that,

201
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:50,320
Speaker 1: just in general on his score build contested beasts generally

202
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 1: dominate Supercoach. He was number two in the league in

203
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:57,720
Speaker 1: contested possessions in twenty twenty five. Now, I was just

204
00:10:57,720 --> 00:10:59,680
Speaker 1: looking at some of the stats. Did I cherry pick

205
00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 1: bit that help my argument? Yes, But everyone in the

206
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:07,840
Speaker 1: top six in contested possessions, the top six players averaged

207
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:10,520
Speaker 1: one hundred and ten plus super coach points, So Sarong

208
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 1: was the only outlier there, and he was number two overall,

209
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:18,200
Speaker 1: so I think room to grow there. Still suffers a

210
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:21,480
Speaker 1: bit from can't handle the tag as much, but entering

211
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:24,200
Speaker 1: he's still only twenty four, I think Caleb Sarong, so

212
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 1: I think he'll learn to deal with that. And I

213
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:29,360
Speaker 1: was looking back at some numbers from other players who

214
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:32,200
Speaker 1: struggled early in their careers with tags, like a Zach Merritt,

215
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:34,440
Speaker 1: and it took him several seasons to get sort of

216
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:36,640
Speaker 1: past that one hundred and five hundred and seven mark

217
00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:39,559
Speaker 1: and really elevate into the one fifteen. So I think

218
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:42,960
Speaker 1: that's where Sarong eventually settles. Plus, I think three will

219
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:48,600
Speaker 1: be pretty good this year. Jack Steele comes in as

220
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 1: my third midfielder. Another guy I think is value, and

221
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:55,680
Speaker 1: I do like to look for value where I can.

222
00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:58,959
Speaker 1: As just a strategy and super coach. We don't want

223
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:01,680
Speaker 1: to pay up two much much for those one twenty

224
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 1: plus guys when we can hopefully pick them up a

225
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 1: little bit cheaper later. But you do need your captain

226
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:09,680
Speaker 1: options as well. But Jack Steele priced at ninety four.

227
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:13,600
Speaker 1: That is his lowest super coach numbers in almost ten years.

228
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:16,200
Speaker 1: Twenty seventeen was the last time he scored that low.

229
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:18,960
Speaker 1: He had a sub one sub effected score last year

230
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:21,640
Speaker 1: as well. We scored a thirty odd. That was a

231
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:25,440
Speaker 1: weird sort of management situation that they decided to go for. Obviously,

232
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:29,200
Speaker 1: he's now left Saint Kilda over at Melbourne. Sounds like

233
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:31,360
Speaker 1: he's going to be a pure mid I'm still very

234
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:34,719
Speaker 1: interested to see how he actually fits in there, what

235
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:37,960
Speaker 1: the coach there is looking for in his midfield, and

236
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 1: whether or not we see some new, fresh, flat fresh faces.

237
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 1: How much does Harvey Langford go in there, how much

238
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 1: does a Caleb winsor going there? Does Jack Viney still

239
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 1: play alongside Jack Steele, because that seems pretty slow to me.

240
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:54,080
Speaker 1: Let's see how it plays out. But at the moment,

241
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:57,640
Speaker 1: Jack Steele possible value. He's been a super coach stud

242
00:12:57,679 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 1: in the past, and even if he can just get

243
00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 1: out to a hot start and get us up to

244
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:05,319
Speaker 1: a bond or something that would be an amazing result.

245
00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:09,640
Speaker 1: So Jack's steal in for now Hayden Young. And I'm

246
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:13,959
Speaker 1: calling this guy one of Dossi's locks. So I've got

247
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:16,960
Speaker 1: a few Dossi's locks in here. He's my first one.

248
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:19,720
Speaker 1: He's my first Dossi's lock. If this guy is right

249
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:24,360
Speaker 1: in pre season, just absolutely lock him away. Three hundred

250
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:29,800
Speaker 1: and eighty nine thousand for Hayden Young. He's incredible. Now,

251
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:32,040
Speaker 1: I butchered a stat on our last podcast, but I'm

252
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:34,240
Speaker 1: going to make it right because this needs to be

253
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:36,439
Speaker 1: a quote card on the socials and I stuffed it

254
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 1: up last time. I didn't look at the data quite correctly.

255
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:44,520
Speaker 1: This is the data. Hayden Young scored more Super Coach

256
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:48,800
Speaker 1: points per minute than Zach Butter's last season, and the

257
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:54,040
Speaker 1: same as Tristan Sherry. That is just crazy number. This

258
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:56,880
Speaker 1: is the top This is the top six, courtesy of

259
00:13:57,120 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 1: DFS Australia. Now it does include final and for some

260
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 1: reason the data didn't include rucks, so I've added in

261
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:05,840
Speaker 1: a few of the top rucks in there as well.

262
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:09,679
Speaker 1: These are the top points permanent in Super Coach Bonton

263
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:12,840
Speaker 1: Pelly of course, number one one point twenty six points

264
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:15,280
Speaker 1: per minute. We got Brody Grundy at two with one

265
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:19,160
Speaker 1: point twenty five. Then it drops down Max Gorn just

266
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:22,080
Speaker 1: one of the super coach goats. He's at one point

267
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:27,200
Speaker 1: one seven. Next up Tustan Sherry and Hayden Young at

268
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:29,960
Speaker 1: one point one six, and then Butters at one point

269
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:32,560
Speaker 1: one five. So just to show you those numbers, it's

270
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:36,320
Speaker 1: Hayden Young did not play much time on ground and

271
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 1: it's just how it works. As well, he had some

272
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:41,400
Speaker 1: big burst scores. He's not a super high tome on

273
00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:45,160
Speaker 1: ground player historically either, Hayden Young, but it's also not

274
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:47,960
Speaker 1: an outlier. He did the same the year before. He

275
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:50,360
Speaker 1: was close to that number the year before as well

276
00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:53,280
Speaker 1: when he did play bigger minutes. So Hayden Young, if

277
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:56,120
Speaker 1: he is out on the park three hundred and eighty

278
00:14:56,200 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 1: nine thousand dollars, this guy locking one hundred plas from him,

279
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:04,320
Speaker 1: and he's priced ridiculously cheap for what he can offer,

280
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:10,120
Speaker 1: So lock him in. I'm going another cheap player in

281
00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:13,120
Speaker 1: the next slot. We're not getting to rookies just yet,

282
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:17,160
Speaker 1: and this is a guy that I think will probably

283
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:21,640
Speaker 1: ultimately be a popular pick if he's fit. If he's fit,

284
00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:24,120
Speaker 1: same as Hayden Young. If he's fit, this guy will

285
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 1: be in a stack of teams. And he's from Essendon.

286
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:32,080
Speaker 1: I'm talking about Darcy Parish. Let's pop him in the

287
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:34,280
Speaker 1: squad now. I'm trying to find where his average is

288
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:37,640
Speaker 1: even in here. He's that dirt cheap You've got to

289
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:42,080
Speaker 1: scroll so far down. He's three hundred and thirty four

290
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:45,840
Speaker 1: thousand dollars. Now. I think we were talking about him

291
00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 1: the other day on one of the pods and I

292
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:51,240
Speaker 1: wasn't that interested. But when you look at his history,

293
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:54,080
Speaker 1: one hundred and eight or more in each of his

294
00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:56,960
Speaker 1: seasons from twenty twenty one to twenty twenty three, and

295
00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:00,080
Speaker 1: a career high of one hundred and seventeen. Now, I

296
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:02,640
Speaker 1: do admit the game has changed a fair bit since then.

297
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:08,240
Speaker 1: A lot quicker less, sort of slow contested guys that

298
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:11,280
Speaker 1: do get that distributing pill out. You still have to

299
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:14,160
Speaker 1: have one or two in each team, and Darcy Parish

300
00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:16,840
Speaker 1: is the guy at Essdon to do that. He's clearly

301
00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:18,920
Speaker 1: still still the one that they want in there. When

302
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:21,840
Speaker 1: he did go back and play for Essenon last season

303
00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:24,440
Speaker 1: for the only the three games averaged eighty eight, but

304
00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:28,520
Speaker 1: was their main contested ball winner. So yeah, Darcy Parish

305
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:31,960
Speaker 1: if healthy, I think I'm on board for me once

306
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:34,960
Speaker 1: shame on, you know, you know the quote, but I'm

307
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:38,800
Speaker 1: backing him in Willem Durzmer jumps in as my first

308
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:42,280
Speaker 1: rookie in the midfield. He's priced over two hundred K,

309
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:44,720
Speaker 1: which might scare some people off, but I've seen in

310
00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:47,440
Speaker 1: the early goings in Team Picker most people are just

311
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:49,600
Speaker 1: locking him into the number one pick in the draft.

312
00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:51,960
Speaker 1: West Coast will find a great role for him. He'll

313
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:55,280
Speaker 1: either be distributing off half back or time through the midfield,

314
00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:57,360
Speaker 1: even half forward. He can play in all sorts of

315
00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:00,760
Speaker 1: roles why I reframe, but can score with the best

316
00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:03,480
Speaker 1: of them in junior ranks. So keep an eye out

317
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:05,120
Speaker 1: on Durzman. And I think the big thing for him

318
00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:08,120
Speaker 1: is just job security. He's going to play. If he's

319
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:10,880
Speaker 1: available every game, he'll play every game. So William Durzmer

320
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:13,640
Speaker 1: for me is a lock, but not a Dossi's lock.

321
00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:15,959
Speaker 1: We don't lock in rookies this early in the season,

322
00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:19,240
Speaker 1: so keep an eye on preseason. Dyson Sharp is another

323
00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:22,240
Speaker 1: one that is straight in from Essendon. A couple of

324
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:27,919
Speaker 1: Dons in there, but Dyson sharp SA boy, huge junior numbers.

325
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:31,560
Speaker 1: Check out the Rookie Bible, as I said, I'll link

326
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:35,640
Speaker 1: that in the description, but some absolutely monster junior numbers.

327
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:38,960
Speaker 1: If he ends up doing what he's done at junior

328
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:42,040
Speaker 1: level in the AFL, then the Dons will have an

329
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:46,359
Speaker 1: absolute beast on their hands. Another player that is you

330
00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:48,160
Speaker 1: know again I said, I'm not going to lock any

331
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:52,160
Speaker 1: of these rookies as a dossi's official lock. But Jagger

332
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:55,520
Speaker 1: Smith he's as close as they come. Coming back after

333
00:17:55,560 --> 00:18:00,400
Speaker 1: an ACL injury unfortunately ruined his rookie campaign for more,

334
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:03,840
Speaker 1: Jagger Smith is going to be hopefully straight into Carton's team.

335
00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:05,800
Speaker 1: He was going to get a debut in year one

336
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:07,800
Speaker 1: had he not done the ACL, So let's lock him

337
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:12,359
Speaker 1: in the bench. Is completely subject to change, but let's

338
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:17,320
Speaker 1: just roll with a few favorites at the moment. Will Brody, now,

339
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:20,240
Speaker 1: if he's gonna actually play, he's going to be on field.

340
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:22,000
Speaker 1: I just want to respect him. Put him on the

341
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:24,439
Speaker 1: bench for now because I think he'll play if he

342
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:28,119
Speaker 1: does play. With that port early schedule as well, we

343
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:30,760
Speaker 1: can just put him on field and lock him away.

344
00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:33,679
Speaker 1: So I'd probably just rotate one of those other rookies

345
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:37,399
Speaker 1: I've got onto the bench, maybe play some loophole action,

346
00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:40,119
Speaker 1: but Will Brody would be absolutely on field for me

347
00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:45,880
Speaker 1: if he's playing Patrick Rechko. Let's go him from Richmond

348
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:49,360
Speaker 1: coming across from Geelong again, a bit of a speculative

349
00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:52,000
Speaker 1: pick at this time of year, and I'll admit I

350
00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:54,760
Speaker 1: tried to sort of scrape the barrel on the rookie side.

351
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:56,679
Speaker 1: I didn't want to put too much money on the

352
00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:58,560
Speaker 1: bench in this team, so I could use it all

353
00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:01,760
Speaker 1: on the field. But Retch is in at the moment

354
00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:06,520
Speaker 1: from all reports, just a running machine and could slot

355
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:10,600
Speaker 1: into maybe a wing roll straight away at the Tigs hopefully.

356
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:12,840
Speaker 1: I'm thinking they've got him for a reason, They've got

357
00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:16,240
Speaker 1: a role in mind, so hoping that he can sort

358
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:19,080
Speaker 1: of be a really nice cash cow for us. And

359
00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:23,920
Speaker 1: I've got a mature ager in Billy Coody from say

360
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:26,199
Speaker 1: as well the Red Legs nor what over here one

361
00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:29,880
Speaker 1: hundred and thirteen point five k mature age recruit twenty

362
00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:32,760
Speaker 1: three years old, averaged one hundred and twenty two in

363
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:36,400
Speaker 1: the Samfull and one hundred and eleven super Coach points

364
00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:39,320
Speaker 1: the year before that. So twenty three year old coming

365
00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:43,400
Speaker 1: in could he be the Riley Bys of twenty twenty six.

366
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:46,399
Speaker 1: That is what they're saying. That is what Dan Batton

367
00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:49,720
Speaker 1: and the Phantom are saying in the Rookie Bible. So

368
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:51,919
Speaker 1: go check that out. Now, let's get into the rucks.

369
00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:55,159
Speaker 1: I've got my next lock here. And this could be

370
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:59,119
Speaker 1: somewhat controversial given the price, but Tristan Sherry is a

371
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:03,440
Speaker 1: Dossi lock six hundred and eighty seven K perma captain,

372
00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:08,760
Speaker 1: Perma vice captain goes one eighty, can go just massive,

373
00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:13,560
Speaker 1: massive scores. I just I think he's the super coach

374
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:15,879
Speaker 1: guy that you know. Max Gorn has had that mantle

375
00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:19,240
Speaker 1: for so long as just a set and forget ruck.

376
00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:22,679
Speaker 1: I think Tristan Sherry is that guy from now and

377
00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:26,000
Speaker 1: going forward. Average basically the same as Max Goran last year.

378
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:28,360
Speaker 1: Don't see it slowing down. Don't think the rock rule

379
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:30,760
Speaker 1: will affect him too much. He can run and jump,

380
00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:33,400
Speaker 1: he can bash and crash, he can do it all.

381
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:39,119
Speaker 1: Tristan Sherry tackles just contested machine. I want him as

382
00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:42,240
Speaker 1: a vice captain and captain alongside Zach Butters in the

383
00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:45,159
Speaker 1: early going, so he's in for me. I think their

384
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:47,480
Speaker 1: draws not too bad. As well, doesn't have an early buys,

385
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:50,520
Speaker 1: so lock him in. Luke Jackson is my other one,

386
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:52,679
Speaker 1: and this is a bit of a point of difference.

387
00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:54,720
Speaker 1: I don't think many people will pick Luke Jackson, and

388
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:58,360
Speaker 1: I maybe he shouldn't either, but he's in for now.

389
00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:01,960
Speaker 1: Freemantle love to run two rucks. A lot of his

390
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:06,520
Speaker 1: big scores last year were with Sean Darcy. Without Sean Darcy,

391
00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:09,720
Speaker 1: I should say they've brought in Mason Cox. So does

392
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:12,639
Speaker 1: that mean when Sewn Darcy is inevitably injured for a

393
00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:14,480
Speaker 1: few games, they're just going to play Mason Cox. So

394
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:18,720
Speaker 1: Luke Jackson never gets to solo ruck. It's all possibilities.

395
00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 1: But I think Luke Jackson has the potential to be

396
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:25,119
Speaker 1: the best player in the AFL, not just super coach.

397
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:29,040
Speaker 1: So I also think that the ruck new ruck rule.

398
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:32,320
Speaker 1: If anybody's tailor made to dominate based on that from

399
00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:35,360
Speaker 1: the midfield, it is Luke Jackson. He's become this hybrid

400
00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:39,800
Speaker 1: ruck forward mid Oh. I'm just I'm enamored by Luke Jackson.

401
00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:41,320
Speaker 1: I think he can be one of these rucks. We

402
00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:44,800
Speaker 1: see rucks our top three rucks here one twenty five,

403
00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:47,280
Speaker 1: grundy one twenty seven share in one twenty seven Gorne,

404
00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:49,800
Speaker 1: I think he can reach those heights, so I actually

405
00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:53,080
Speaker 1: don't think he's at his max price. Just all depends

406
00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:56,520
Speaker 1: on that ruck share and what happens there. Liam Reedy

407
00:21:56,720 --> 00:22:01,080
Speaker 1: is my easy bench option at the moment. If he

408
00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:03,440
Speaker 1: plays for Carlton, it's a simple one. He's got forward

409
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:06,439
Speaker 1: status as well, which is awesome to be able to

410
00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:11,439
Speaker 1: swing that around. Another dossy lock here in the forward line,

411
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:17,520
Speaker 1: Harry Shechezel. It's just an easy pick. He's a guy

412
00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:21,760
Speaker 1: that can rack up. He had fifty fifty six disposals

413
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:24,919
Speaker 1: last year and he's listed as a forward. He can

414
00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:27,440
Speaker 1: play in any position. He can rack up in any position.

415
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:30,640
Speaker 1: One hundred and seven is probably under price for where

416
00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:34,200
Speaker 1: Shecheesel can go in his future. So look, you don't

417
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:35,560
Speaker 1: need to say anymore. He'll be one of the most

418
00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:38,040
Speaker 1: highly owned players in Super Coach twenty twenty six and

419
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:41,480
Speaker 1: we can lock him straight away. Another player on an

420
00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:45,080
Speaker 1: earlier bye I've got here is Christian Petrarca at the moment,

421
00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:47,359
Speaker 1: so I've come around to bring him into my squad.

422
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:51,960
Speaker 1: I mentioned the awesome sort of early draw for Gold

423
00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:53,960
Speaker 1: Coast again, I can just look at how he goes

424
00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:55,880
Speaker 1: an opening round and decide if I want to keep

425
00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:58,280
Speaker 1: him in the team. Once I've seen his score for

426
00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:00,400
Speaker 1: opening round, which don't count for super coach, we can

427
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:03,480
Speaker 1: judge see what his break even is going to be,

428
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:06,040
Speaker 1: how he's going to look like, how he looks like

429
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:08,359
Speaker 1: in the suns as well, what his role is. Is

430
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:10,800
Speaker 1: he a ford? Is he a midfielder. If he's a Ford,

431
00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:12,320
Speaker 1: I don't really want a piece of it. If he's

432
00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:15,320
Speaker 1: in the midfield with Narra Anderson matt Row, yes please,

433
00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:18,720
Speaker 1: let's get on board. Could go back to one hundred

434
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:20,960
Speaker 1: plus one hundred and five hundred and ten, who knows.

435
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:23,600
Speaker 1: With Petrarca and with the early schedule as well, he

436
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:26,240
Speaker 1: could really get us off to a hot start despite

437
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:30,720
Speaker 1: the by round mixed in there as well. The next

438
00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:34,920
Speaker 1: one though, is just an absolute lock. And if anyone

439
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:38,280
Speaker 1: watched the phantoms there last season, he became known as

440
00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:41,240
Speaker 1: Sam Panders because he was in the frying pan a

441
00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:44,800
Speaker 1: segment on our show many times. Because I actually picked

442
00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:48,919
Speaker 1: him up last season as a defender Sam Flanders, but

443
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:54,359
Speaker 1: he's now listed as a pure forward. He had one hundred.

444
00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:57,280
Speaker 1: He averaged one hundred and nineteen the year before last,

445
00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:00,800
Speaker 1: and he's down average of seventy two, which is a

446
00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:03,960
Speaker 1: three hundred and ninety six thousand dollars price tag. And

447
00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:07,720
Speaker 1: he's listed as a pure forward. So he's come over

448
00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:10,800
Speaker 1: to the Saints. He's already said he's wanting to play midfield.

449
00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:13,400
Speaker 1: He left Gold Coast because he wanted to play midfield

450
00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:15,840
Speaker 1: and there was just no room in the midfield for him.

451
00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:18,840
Speaker 1: Sam Flanders is the Bailey Smith of twenty twenty six.

452
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:21,080
Speaker 1: Just lock it in. One hundred and nineteen average the

453
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:24,160
Speaker 1: year before. He could get back to at least one ten.

454
00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:26,680
Speaker 1: At least one hundred. I won't go too big, but

455
00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:29,600
Speaker 1: at least one hundred as a midfielder. And I'm just

456
00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:32,480
Speaker 1: huge on Sammy Flanders. Love the way goes about it.

457
00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:36,520
Speaker 1: I think he'll be absolutely amazing this season. Now you

458
00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:39,040
Speaker 1: might think where's all the cash to go from here? Well,

459
00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:41,800
Speaker 1: that's where we go a little bit cheap in the

460
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:46,440
Speaker 1: forward line. Not highly enamored with any other top end picks.

461
00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:50,360
Speaker 1: I think Isaac Rankin could make his way in there,

462
00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:53,680
Speaker 1: but he's obviously suspended to start the season, so can't

463
00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:58,000
Speaker 1: pick him early. But if he's in the midfield, again,

464
00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:01,400
Speaker 1: I'd certainly be picking him. At point. Nick Martin's out

465
00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:04,120
Speaker 1: for the season, so our top three there the only

466
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:06,919
Speaker 1: one we can really pick at round one is Harry Cheezel.

467
00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:10,879
Speaker 1: Sam Darcy is another one that sort of tempts me

468
00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:13,240
Speaker 1: as well, but at the moment we're going sort of

469
00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:16,760
Speaker 1: a more top end three and then going the rookies

470
00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:18,640
Speaker 1: in the forward line. I think there are some really

471
00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:22,480
Speaker 1: nice rookies to choose from a guy that I think

472
00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:24,719
Speaker 1: maybe he's going a little bit under the raid. I

473
00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:27,119
Speaker 1: wonder what his ownership's like at the moment, but Leo

474
00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:32,160
Speaker 1: Lombard for Gold Coast, I think he'll get some opportunities

475
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:36,000
Speaker 1: now with with players leaving the club. You know, swallows

476
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:39,280
Speaker 1: out of the pitcher fever and he's gone. There's some

477
00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:42,280
Speaker 1: other there's some other departures. I know, some have come in,

478
00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:46,680
Speaker 1: such as you know Petrarco we just mentioned, and these

479
00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:49,600
Speaker 1: new amazing rookies like you Yuleans and your Patterson's. But

480
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:53,719
Speaker 1: Leo Lombard's one left over from last year didn't get

481
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:55,919
Speaker 1: to play much due to an injury did his shoulder

482
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:58,160
Speaker 1: quite early. He was already playing quite early in the season,

483
00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:00,960
Speaker 1: had a heap of sub affected game from memory as well,

484
00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:04,320
Speaker 1: but average one hundred and four in the VFL, and

485
00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:07,399
Speaker 1: at one hundred and nineteen K, he's more of that.

486
00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:09,440
Speaker 1: He was playing a bit of midfield in the VFL,

487
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:11,960
Speaker 1: so I think if they do deploy him, he might

488
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:13,440
Speaker 1: get a bit of that wing, a bit of the

489
00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:16,080
Speaker 1: wing left behind by fear Eni, maybe a bit of

490
00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:19,199
Speaker 1: inside time, you know, chopping out for some of these guys,

491
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:21,840
Speaker 1: or even a pressure forward. So I think there's a

492
00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:24,200
Speaker 1: role for him this season. Let's just wait and see.

493
00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:27,080
Speaker 1: I've already seen Gold Coast clipping up some highlights of

494
00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:30,600
Speaker 1: him going around tackling people, so keep an eye out

495
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:33,600
Speaker 1: on him. Dev rob is the other one, Devon robertson

496
00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:38,399
Speaker 1: West Coast Eagles one hundred and nineteen K. Straight in,

497
00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:42,280
Speaker 1: straight in surely plays for West Coast, comes across after

498
00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:45,800
Speaker 1: they've tried to get him for three years. He's going

499
00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:49,000
Speaker 1: to play midfield for West Coast. I would imagine and

500
00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:52,280
Speaker 1: straight up just bargain at one hundred and nineteen K

501
00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:54,480
Speaker 1: going to play midfield and he's listed as a forward.

502
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:57,679
Speaker 1: A couple of other guys here Sid Draper on the

503
00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:01,000
Speaker 1: bench at the moment, do we see a curtain style

504
00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:05,000
Speaker 1: second year breakout for Sid Draper had a lot of

505
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:09,399
Speaker 1: trouble last season cracking into the squad, still averaged pretty

506
00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:12,600
Speaker 1: pretty well in the samfle and he's average basically a

507
00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:16,320
Speaker 1: ton and sample for two years now. I think this

508
00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:18,040
Speaker 1: year could be the year we see a bit more

509
00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:22,040
Speaker 1: Sid at AFL level. And they handled Dan Curtin really

510
00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:25,360
Speaker 1: well despite criticism early days of not playing him enough

511
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:27,960
Speaker 1: at AFL level. Maybe it's the same deal with Sid Draper.

512
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:31,399
Speaker 1: Give them a year get accustomed. The only issue is

513
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:34,159
Speaker 1: he's already had an interrupted preseason so far, so hopefully

514
00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:37,119
Speaker 1: he's going to be okay to start the season and

515
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:41,960
Speaker 1: Finlay McCrae rounds out the other forward bench spot. I

516
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:44,440
Speaker 1: don't know what West Coast I'm a West Coast fan,

517
00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:46,200
Speaker 1: but I wonder what other West Coast fans think where

518
00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:48,480
Speaker 1: Finn fits into the squad. If he does fit into

519
00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:52,320
Speaker 1: the squad, I think he does. I think these new

520
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:55,640
Speaker 1: recruits all fit into the squad basically, so I think

521
00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:57,959
Speaker 1: he won't have any trouble finding a spot, whether it's

522
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:00,800
Speaker 1: half forward, bit of mid wing. Wherever they find him

523
00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:04,600
Speaker 1: a spot, I think, yeah, I think you'll be playing

524
00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:08,560
Speaker 1: so He's also listed as a forward, which is very

525
00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:12,080
Speaker 1: juicy given he is coming across wanting to play forward

526
00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:16,320
Speaker 1: mid row as well, so love that for him. Flex position.

527
00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:20,560
Speaker 1: Four hundred and twenty seven k left in the bank

528
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:24,000
Speaker 1: for the flex position, and you know he couldn't be

529
00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:29,080
Speaker 1: any other player than Harley Reid priced at seventy last season,

530
00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:32,800
Speaker 1: had a slow start, was playing in defense for a

531
00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:36,880
Speaker 1: little bit, taken random kickings here and there, and eventually

532
00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:38,840
Speaker 1: immediately it was like, this is not where we need

533
00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:40,200
Speaker 1: to play Harley read. We need to get m back

534
00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:42,360
Speaker 1: in the midfield. Needed to get his fitness up. Managed

535
00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:46,760
Speaker 1: to do that and came home relatively well, but still

536
00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:49,640
Speaker 1: nothing to write home about. Dropped. I think was it

537
00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:52,360
Speaker 1: one ton for the season. There wasn't much in the

538
00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:55,960
Speaker 1: way of highlights, but there was in the way of

539
00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:58,840
Speaker 1: upside For twenty twenty six. Third year breakout is on

540
00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:01,680
Speaker 1: the cards, I said last week it was a guaranteed

541
00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:04,960
Speaker 1: third year breakout for Harley Reed. Prost at seventy averaged

542
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:07,360
Speaker 1: eighty in his rookie season, so look for him to

543
00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:10,960
Speaker 1: go ninety five or one hundred. That might be bold,

544
00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:13,360
Speaker 1: but keep an eye out. It's a bold court it's

545
00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:16,640
Speaker 1: time for bold calls January. First, that is the squad.

546
00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:19,680
Speaker 1: That is the squad. If you do want to check

547
00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:23,280
Speaker 1: it out again Code Sports YouTube channel. Let's put the

548
00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:25,760
Speaker 1: SEA on Butters and the VC on Tristan Sherry, just

549
00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:30,320
Speaker 1: to make it nice and wrap it up there. Let's

550
00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:32,480
Speaker 1: quickly touch on the guys that were missing though, before

551
00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:36,080
Speaker 1: I wrap this up. The bond it's the early by round.

552
00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:39,120
Speaker 1: He's got a buy around in round three and a

553
00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:44,800
Speaker 1: couple of tough matchups before then Nick Dakos around two by,

554
00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:47,120
Speaker 1: so you get one game then he's on the by.

555
00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:50,480
Speaker 1: I just can't. I just don't think I can do that.

556
00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:54,240
Speaker 1: I love Nick Dakos, I just don't think I can

557
00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:57,920
Speaker 1: do that to my team at this stage. Same with

558
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:02,320
Speaker 1: Sam Walsh, because if Sam Walsh ends up being I

559
00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:05,280
Speaker 1: must have and his first you know, opening round he dominates.

560
00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:07,760
Speaker 1: Then round one he has an amazing game, his price

561
00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:11,800
Speaker 1: won't change until after his buy. So Carlton have the

562
00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:14,160
Speaker 1: round two by, He'll play the opening round, He'll play

563
00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:16,600
Speaker 1: one game that counts for super Coach, then he'll have

564
00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:19,880
Speaker 1: a buy. Then if one of these other failed picks,

565
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:23,600
Speaker 1: Jack Steele doesn't fire, whatever I can just get him anyway.

566
00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:27,520
Speaker 1: If Zach Butters is underperforming before his price change, I

567
00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:32,360
Speaker 1: can try and jump on jump on a Sam Walsh

568
00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:34,960
Speaker 1: before coming out of that sort of round two by.

569
00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:37,880
Speaker 1: So I think those guys I'm happy to avoid in

570
00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:41,680
Speaker 1: my starting squad at the moment. Errol Goldon is one

571
00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:43,800
Speaker 1: that I'm really hot on, but he has the round

572
00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:46,200
Speaker 1: three by and also Sydney's schedule I've already had a

573
00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:50,120
Speaker 1: little look. Doesn't look great. Max Gorn and Grundy, neither

574
00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:53,800
Speaker 1: of them are in the squad at the moment. Melbourne

575
00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:55,560
Speaker 1: don't have an early buy, so I could look at

576
00:30:55,560 --> 00:31:00,600
Speaker 1: Max Gorn significantly, but Brodie Grundy does an early buy,

577
00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:03,200
Speaker 1: so I don't think I'll be going there. I think

578
00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:06,200
Speaker 1: i'd rather there's a bunch of other rock options for

579
00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:09,920
Speaker 1: us up forward. Sam Draper, I think we can just

580
00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:12,120
Speaker 1: wait till after his buy as well if we need him,

581
00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:15,080
Speaker 1: and he's only had one year averaging you know, above

582
00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:18,240
Speaker 1: the seventy odd mark, so I think Brisbane will unlock

583
00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:21,520
Speaker 1: his potential quite a bit. But I really do want

584
00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:24,080
Speaker 1: to see him first. I don't think I'm happy starting

585
00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:28,120
Speaker 1: Sam Draper at this point, so I'm happy to wait

586
00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:32,080
Speaker 1: till Brisbane after their round two by and then Adam

587
00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:34,120
Speaker 1: Trelaw is probably the only other one that I can

588
00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:36,440
Speaker 1: think of that's you know, lots of people are looking

589
00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:40,080
Speaker 1: at I can just we can just wait as well.

590
00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:42,560
Speaker 1: And he's a guy that I can swap with a

591
00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:46,720
Speaker 1: Christian Petrarca, say if one fires and one doesn't in

592
00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:49,040
Speaker 1: opening round and if Adam Trelaw is in the team,

593
00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:51,560
Speaker 1: I think if Adam Trelaw is in the best, best team,

594
00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:54,520
Speaker 1: best twenty three, I'm picking him. Put it that way.

595
00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:57,680
Speaker 1: He's pedigree for scoring is unbelievable and he's listed as

596
00:31:57,680 --> 00:32:01,160
Speaker 1: a forward, so he is one that could definitely come

597
00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:04,280
Speaker 1: into the squad anyway. That is a squad. That is

598
00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:08,240
Speaker 1: the first team reveal of twenty twenty six. Hope you

599
00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:10,280
Speaker 1: enjoyed it. Let me know what you think though, love it,

600
00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:13,880
Speaker 1: hate it? Any major picks I've left out, anyone you're
