Dogmat’s Choices

Contract Talks: 

Kane Cornes (Port)
Midfielder
DT/SC Price: $418,400/$480,700
DT/SC Rd 1 Score: 131/173

Dogmat says: "Nobody was quite certain what position he would be playing this year, especially since he played most of the pre-season in the forward line. When I saw him starting on the wing in round 1, I got right on the phone with his management. Can you wait for your midfield rookie prices to mature for the upgrade or will he become too expensive?"

Surprise Packet:

Jared Brennan (Bris)
Forward/Midfielder
DT/SC Price: $373,800/$474,800
DT/SC Rd 1 Score: 121/125

Dogmat Says: "He has always posted attractive scores and had the potential to be a fantasy footy superstar, particluarly given he can give you midfield numbers playing in the forward position. Looks like he might have found the next level of his game, consistency will be his biggest obstacle"

Big Prediction:  

Luke Shuey (WCE) - He will be the next Joel Selwood
Midfielder
DT/SC Price: $94,500/$100,200
DT/SC Rd 1 Score: 85/83

Dogmat Says: "This kid reminds me of Joel whe he started. Tough, hard inside player who rarely makes a mistake. His pre-season form has almost been faultless"

Tickers Choices  

Contract Talks: 

Ben Howlett (Ess)
Midfielder
DT/SC Price: $77,800/$83,400
DT/SC Rd 1 Score: 74/62

Ticker says: "Already has a mature body and held his own playing against Gary Ablett on the weekend. He is cheap as chips and can earn you some coin as a rookie whether you play him or keep him on the bench"

Surprise Packet:

Robert Warnock (Carl)
Rucks
DT/SC Price: $101,800/$132,200
DT/SC Rd 1 Score: 85/47

Ticker Says: "For a long time we didnt know if this guy even existed. Most of us have him in our side, but none of us could have imagined he would score so well in round 1. His SC score is a better reflection of the quality of his game though"

Big Prediction:  

Cameron Hitchcock (Port) - Will play all 22 Games

Forward

DT/SC Price: $94,500/$100,200
DT/SC Rd 1 Score: 85/83

Ticker Says: "Smart small forward rookies have been pretty successful in fantasy land. "Alfred" has all the right moves to play 22 games this year"

Bouzas Choices

Contract Talks: 

Michael Rischitelli (Bris)
Midfielder
DT/SC Price: $309,600/$389,700
DT/SC Rd 1 Score: 114/147

Bouza says: "This could be the year Risky-Telly finally comes through with the fantasy footy goods. Both Ticker and Dogmat were quick to point out that he hasnt set the fantasy world on fire yet, but Bouza is willing to back this kid on the strength of his huge first round performance"

Surprise Packet:

Jordie McKenzie (Melb)
Midfielder
DT/SC Price: $202,700/$247,900
DT/SC Rd 1 Score: 105/99

Bouza Says: "He was the big surprise packet or round 1 scoring was more than anybody expected". This caught both Ticker and Dogmat off guard as both hadnt even heard of this player. Keep a close eye on this player as Im sure both Ticker and Dogmat will be bringing him back out later this season to make a point

Big Prediction:  

Nick Malceski (Syd) - Will return to his 2007 form
Defender
DT/SC Price: $242,800/$273,500
DT/SC Rd 1 Score: 106/139

Bouza Says: "A lot of us took the punt hoping that he would return to his 2007 form. After a great first round the fantasy footy community have baptized him as Malsexy"
