SuperCoach 2016: Mark Robinson reveals his starting line-up
MARK Robinson has gone back to the drawing board and come up with a very dangerous SuperCoach team. What’s his secret?

BACK in January we were still getting a feel for the return of footy and SuperCoach.
When Australia’s biggest fantasy game launched just after Australia Day, Herald Sun chief footy writer Mark Robinson revealed the first draft of his 2016 SuperCoach squad.
It’s fair to say it was a speculative line-up that was always going to be updated as circumstances and form dictated. After being named as Robbo’s third most expensive defender, Matthew Jaensch retired from the game. So that’s one forced change.
In fact, the back six has undergone a total revolution.

Recent incarnations of Here’s To You Mrs featured Heath Shaw and Rory Laird, but they’re gone too.
Instead, Robbo has banked his 2016 chances on bolters Daniel Rich, Jasper Pittard, Shannon Hurn and Trent McKenzie, all potential mid-price bargains.
That gamble — and leaving out Todd Goldstein — have given him the cash to stuff his midfield with guns including Nat Fyfe, Matt Priddis and Dylan Shiel, who has so far justified the faith with scores of 121 and 119 in his two NAB Challenge appearances (Priddis topped that with 158 and 130 from his two games).
Up forward Robbo is backing Lance Franklin to return to his brilliant best.
But he hasn’t been able to find a spot for Brisbane’s Mitch Robinson, despite a Twitter promise.
“I’m still working on that one,” Robbo said.
@Robbo_heraldsun It'd be rude not to put me in, purely for the fact my last name is Robinson.#in
