I've setup this thread for all North Melbourne and Opposition Supporters to ask questions about North Melbourne players & their relevance to SuperCoach / AFL Fanasy / Dreamteam.
Here is my summary of the relevant players for 2015 (prices are SC):
Rookies
Unfortunately there are no relevant Rookies for Round 1, with no top 10 draft picks in the last draft. One may emerge mid-year, maybe Durdin, but can't see it at this stage.
Mid-Pricers
B Jacobs $258k DEF - Massive speculative pick. Not certain to be picked round 1, but has potential to be a big accumulater of the footy through the midfield if he is backed in & gets his confidence up. Keep in mind at the start of or during the season if he plays & scores a couple of 90's first two games you could trade him in to D6 at a steal.
S Higgins $410k DEF/FWD - Has looked very good pre-season, kicking goals & rolling through the midfield. Will play round 1. Dual Position eligible. Can see averaging 95-100.
S Thompson $422k DEF - Intercept king, capable of scoring big due to that factor. With North Swinging Tarrant to defence this year, along with usual loose man Hansen being out injured, this may allow 'Turbo' to not need to lock down a key forward & take his elite reading of the play to another level. Only concern was a limited pre-season, but he has played NAB Challenge so shouldn't be a major factor.
Wells $361k MID - Pick of the crop, true underpriced premium, cheaply priced due to being injured half of 2014. He has looked mint pre-season - find a spot for him. You're welcome.
Cunnington $497k MID - Club champion, hard ball machine, has looked great pre-season. Could elevate himself to super-premium status by seasons end. Added kicking goals to his resume in 2014. However there are many players at his price point, so won't fit many peoples guns & rookies strategy.
Ziebell $449k MID/FWD - Has potential to go big but he's inconsistent. He's stated publicly his priority is to play every game in 2015, which has been a major problems in seasons past. Tempting, but likely to burn you at some stage. Dual position means a forward line spot gives you a cause for consideration
Premiums
Dal Santo $553k MID - Will probably average 105, elite ball user. However you'd probably look at other super premiums before him.
B Harvey $578k MID/FWD - Personally, I can't see him going as big as in 2015, but you never know with this guy. Will kick goals & go big a few times during the year, but its a pass for me.
Goldstein $574k RUC - Will play 22 games, will average 100. You'd only pick him if you think he'll be a top 2 ranking ruck at seasons end, which could happen but I think for round 1 there's better value to be found elsewhere.
