Predicted Position Additions

[FirstTimeLongTime]

Was wondering if anyone (based on pre-season games, pre-season talk, gut feel) had any predictions on position additions in fantasy this year? Might help get a jump on draft day for that Mid who might end up with Backman status...

Obvious one seems to be Garry Ablett who will likely get FWD status early on in the year.

Bonts forward is the only one I can think is likely

 

[TedDougChris]

Peter Wright might get ruck status if he and Witts rotate/swap during games.

[atlas1]

Ablett MID/FWD
Pendlebury MID/DEF
Sidebottom MID/FWD
J Selwood MID/DEF

 

[PAFC27]

Imagine. Certainly possible I feel.

 

[VSTone]

Balta Fwd/Ruc maybe.

 

[Spider Klein]

Pendlesbury and Selwood according to heatmaps are 52% and 53% forward half, although a lot around the middle can go either way.

Duncan was moved to defence late last week too. More likely I would think than Selwood.

 

[JDWCE]

Maybe only relevant in draft but Powell-pepper appears to be a shoe in for fwd eligibility

Travis Boak - MID
Gary Ablett - FWD
Rowan Marshall - RUC
Brad Ebert - FWD
Tom Atkins - FWD

EDIT:

Caleb Daniel - DEF

That's what I've got so far, that I'm pretty confident on

 

[Jkenny]

Travis Boak - MID
Gary Ablett - FWD
Rowan Marshall - RUC
Brad Ebert - FWD
Tom Atkins - FWD

EDIT:

Caleb Daniel - DEF

Can C.Daniel still get a DEF role given hes already a C/F?

 

[mitchzz]

Travis Boak - MID
Gary Ablett - FWD
Rowan Marshall - RUC
Brad Ebert - FWD
Tom Atkins - FWD

EDIT:

Caleb Daniel - DEF

Oscar Allen will get FWD status surely. Not that it impacts many people

 

[Thetrader15]

Being our leading goal kicker, will Brad Crouch get fwd status?

 

[Maurice Mitchell]

E Curnow Fwd

 

[Maurice Mitchell]

Agree Duncan def and maybe Heppell but haven't seen much of him last two games

 

[drummoyne]

What sources are out there on time spend in forward or defensive 50?

Are the heat maps available?

Is it after Round 6 that the position changes occur?

Prior to round 6.
Heatmaps available on the AFL app (under matches, players, then click name and scroll down)

 

[gym4life]

Ed langdon looks like a pretty good chance of getting def eligibility to me, whats everyones thoughts?

Good shout. I noticed that on Saturday. I looked at the stats and he has had 18 rebound 50s which is up there with Heath Shaw, Kade Simpson etc. Could push Rolling top 6 but Blakey might change that

 

[Shadow89]

Added a few more:


Travis Boak - MID
Gary Ablett - FWD
Rowan Marshall - RUC
Brad Ebert - FWD
Tom Atkins - FWD
Caleb Daniel - DEF

EDIT:

Zak Jones - MID
Wayne Milera - MID
Ed Langdon - DEF
Ed Curnow - FWD
Jack Billings - MID
Tom Papley - MID
Matt De Boer - MID
Adam Cerra - MID
Oscar Allen - FWD
Jack Lukosius - DEF

 

[gym4life]

Harry Cunningham looks a shot as well?

 

[Benjo_]

Mitch Duncan defence would be delicious although it may be a bit of a long shot

 

[Cotchy9]

Newnes surely a good chance based off this?

Would be good as the FWD's are definitely in better supply than the DEF's

 

[Cotchy9]

Newnes would be a top 6 defender if he got DPP you reckon?
