PATRICK DANGERFIELD Dangerfi eld has been one of the form players in the NAB Cup, averaging 105 points per match – ranked No.1 at the club. He’s a prime candidate for a breakout season, and if he continues to be used in the midfi eld, he could very well exceed his 2011 average of 80 points per game.

ADELAIDE CROWSSAM JACOBS Jacobs was one of very few positives for Adelaide last season, averaging the ninth-most points of any ruckman in the AFL that played more than fi ve games. He ranked sixth overall for hitouts, but his hitout-to-advantage rate was the lowest of the top-10 hitout winners.

LACHIE NEALE In his fi rst season at Fremantle, Neale had impressed so much that he was well on his way to making his AFL debut in Round 1. However, an ankle injury against Port Adelaide in the NAB Cup has set him back and he’ll now be doubtful for the season opener.

BILLIE SMEDTS Smedts failed to play any matches last year as a result of injury. He has had a fl awless pre-season so far and is in line to make his AFL debut in Round 1. At the rookie price, he is a dual position player and can be selected both as a defender or a forward.

GEELONG CATSORREN STEPHENSONStephenson will be a popular choice this year as a mature-aged player. He’s been sparingly used across the NAB Cup though, averaging 36 points per match, but with injuries to both Dawson Simpson and Nathan Vardy, he should get plenty of opportunities early on.

JOEL SELWOOD The newly appointed skipper looks set for another big year. He ranked 15th in the AFL for average points last season, but this would have been much higher had it not been for his 24 points in Round 1 when he was knocked out. You can select him with plenty of confi dence again in 2012.

NATHAN BOCK The arrival of Matthew Warnock has seen Bock moved into the forward line during the NAB Cup. Having made a name for himself as an attacking defender, he’s used his instincts well, averaging 103 points per match – ranked third at the club. Take note though, he will miss the fi rst two rounds due to a club imposed ban.

GOLD COAST SUNSGARY ABLETTThe biggest advantage of picking Ablett is that you can lock him in as captain each week, as he’ll rarely let you down. Despite playing in a struggling side last season, he averaged 127 points per match – only two fewer than in his last season with Geelong.

SHANE MUMFORD Mumford was the third ranked ruckman in the AFL last season, averaging 113 points per game. He played a lone hand in the ruck, averaging the third-most contests of any player, with his hitout-to-advantage rate the equal-best of the top-10 hitout players.

CHRIS MASTEN Masten has been West Coast’s most productive player in the NAB Cup, averaging 99 points per match. A top-three draft pick, he has failed to live up to those expectations so far, averaging 58 points per match since his debut season. He’s due for a breakout season and is a player worth considering.

(Mid) $310,600

WEST COAST EAGLESDEAN COX It’s hard to go past the No.1 scoring ruckman from 2011, even though he is the third-most expensive player in the competition. Heading into last season Cox’s fantasy days looked over, but he returned to his best, averaging a career-high 122 points per match.

GERRICK WEEDONAfter managing the solitary game in 2011, Weedon will surely add to that tally this year. A lively small forward, he may not be a consistent scorer, but what he will do is gradually increase in price. Consider him for your bench.

WESTERN BULLDOGSBRIAN LAKE Coming off a disastrous 2011, the upside for Lake this year is enormous. He could only manage fi ve matches last season, returning an average of 58 points per match – his lowest return since 2004. He’ll never be at this price again so make sure you snap him up.
