Broughton is a definite supercoach option now, should be given plenty of time in the midfield. Hoping that Stevens is no more than $150k, only played a couple of games as a sub from memory last season, should make an impact in the Dogs engine room right away.
Depending on how and where he is played Broughton may be back on the list!
It's as if they want us to pick him.It's been confirmed that Broughtz will be DEF/FWD next year. Hmmmmmm.
Greg the Skeg has just that little bit too much upside to ignore in 2013 for mine. Interested to see how he fits in with the Gold Coast lads after being a long term WA boy. He's in my starting lineupIt's as if they want us to pick him.
Yer same O'Mera, Crouch, Viney and Wines will be good.Wines is my only rookie from this years draft (excluding Crouch, Omeara and Viney) I have locked at this stage. Especially if he goes to GWS or Melbourne. he averages 145 sc in the TAC cup this year. I know it's easier for him with his bigger body against smaller bodies but I'm confident he can get a 75+ average in his first year. Reminds me of Greene last year. If he can be half as good as Greene he will be a good pick.
I think all it says is clubs pick Captains when going into their prime footballing yrs.Got this off fanfooty, but a players average when given the captaincy usually goes up. Here is some from the past.
Callan Ward 89 to 106
Matthew Boyd 106 to 115
Jack Grimes 78 to 88
Joel Selwood 111 to 117
Jobe Watson 101 to 107
What does this make for Cotchin and others yet to be announced (Murphy? Ebert) next year? Will they make improvements based on these past players?

I know what your saying Oz, but I reckon the captaincy will be a good thing for Cotchin. Here is the little article I wroteRegardless of captaincy or not, Cotchin is a gun and will break into the top 3 midfield scorers next season imo. Excellent disposal and the ability to win contested ball plus snag goals is supercoach gold.

Yer I know what you mean and was thinking the same thing. For example Ward, could have increased due to more opportunity and he is just improving and not because of the captaincy, but just found it interesting and wanted to share with you guysI think you make some very good points however outside of Boyd, the list of captains are all relatively young players whom I think would have improved their points production based on natural progression anyway. We could pick other 3rd or 4th year players such as Beams for example, no captaincy but he increased his points production markedly based on natural progression and the added responsibility of slotting in to Luke Ball's midfield role. Basically, I think there are more variables in why players increase their points averages than merely being given the captaincy, although that certainly could be a factor for a subset of players.
I would also throw up the name Jack Trengove, had a pretty terrible season despite being given the (co)captaincy, his average went down from 87.7 in 2011 to 73.5 in 2012.
With regards to Cotchin, from all reports he is a natural leader so I think Richmond would be stupid to not give him the responsibility.
