CHANGE: SUPERCOACH STARS IN NEW COLOURS
ESSENDON
THREE PLAYERS TO WATCH
Dylan Shiel ($487,000, Mid)
Put a line through last season. Shiel’s output mirrored the Giants’ lacklustre campaign marred by a slow start to the year. The explosive midfielder is perfect for the Bombers’ high-octane style.
Devon Smith ($531,300, Mid-Fwd)
One of the SuperCoach success stories of last year, Smith’s first season at Bomberland couldn’t have gone any better. Can he back it up? Do you splash the cash this year? His strong tackling and goalkicking ability make him a must-have.
Irving Mosquito ($117,300 Mid-Fwd)
Work in progress but suspect Essendon’s new cult hero will be one of the most popular players in SuperCoach even if he doesn’t play in Round 1. Keep tabs on his progress, could be special.

PREVIEW: IS ESSENDON MORE DANGEROUS WITHOUT JOE?
PREVIEW: FIT FYFE CRUCIAL TO FREMANTLE’S HOPES
FREMANTLE
THREE PLAYERS TO WATCH
Nat Fyfe ($618,100 Mid)
It feels like an eternity ago that Fyfe had the competition at his mercy but after three inconspicuous seasons – largely due to injury – the Brownlow Medallist should be primed to fire again.
Brett Bewley ($117,300, Mid)
The 23-year-old running midfielder led the VFL last season for effective long kicks and rated elite for inside 50s. Gets his chance in the top flight after five seasons at Williamstown. Get on.
Jesse Hogan ($498,300, Fwd)
Solid enough last season at Melbourne despite playing in spurts. Has all the tools to be one of the most damaging forwards in the competition. Will a change of scenery get the best out of Hogan?

GEELONG
THREE PLAYERS TO WATCH
Patrick Dangerfield ($660,500, Mid-Fwd)
Don’t be shy, Dangerfield should be among the first picked in SuperCoach this season after a dual position curve-ball. The Brownlow Medallist could play in the back pocket and still put up respectable numbers.
Tim Kelly ($505,800, Mid-Fwd)
Interesting. Seems a lot to spend on a second-year prospect but a dearth of proven – more so reliable – scorers in the forward line could open the door for the West Australian ball magnet.
Nathan Kreuger ($123,900, Fwd)
The 19-year-old 195cm swingman booted 22 goals in 13 SANFL games last year and could be one worth monitoring in the pre-season given the Cats’ record of identifying state-league talent.

GOLD COAST SUNS
THREE PLAYERS TO WATCH
Izak Rankine ($198,300, Fwd)
X-factor galore, the South Australian midfield-forward – taken with pick No.3 in the draft - boasts electric speed, skill and genuine match-winning ability. The full bag of tricks.
Anthony Miles ($342,000, Mid)
Ex-Tigers and GWS Giants ball magnet fell out of favour at Tigerland but now gets a chance to shine on the Glitter Strip. Dominated the VFL last season and walks into the Suns as arguably their best midfielder before playing a game.
Pearce Hanley ($296,400, Def)
The injury-prone Irishman has been a SuperCoach favourite for years (when fit). If he can get his body right this year, he’ll be a near must-have at just $296k as the Suns’ best attacking defender.
