EDIT - Latest teams are over the break (click more)

Alrighty, its the last weekend of footy before lockout. Meaning this is our last chance to see anything before getting our team locked in for the year.

Also, its this week that is usually a good indicator on what a team thinks their best 18 will look like.

So the final challenge matches are out, lets see what weve got.

BRISBANE LIONS V HAWTHORN


<blockquote>Brisbane Lions
1. Mitch Clark, 2. Albert Proud, 4. Travis Johnstone, 5. Brendan Fevola, 6. Luke Power, 7. Jed Adcock, 8. Matt Austin, 9. Ashley Mcgrath, 10. Daniel Rich, 11. Justin Sherman, 12. James Hawksley, 14. Brent Staker, 16. Jonathan Brown, 17. Jared Brennan, 18. Todd Banfield, 20. Simon Black, 21. Daniel Merrett, 22. Tom Collier, 23. Matthew Leuenberger, 24. Joel Patfull, 29. Andrew Raines, 30. Jack Redden, 31. James Polkinghorne, 32. Cheynee Stiller, 33. Amon Buchanan, 35. Michael Rischitelli, 36. Matt Maguire, 38. Tom Rockliff, 39. Josh Drummond.
</blockquote>


There are some definite rookie priced options on the table up in Queensland. Itll be great to get a look at their gametime this weekend.



<blockquote>Hawthorn
2. Jarryd Roughead, 3. Jordan Lewis, 4. Rick Ladson, 5. Sam Mitchell, 6. Josh Gibson, 7. Michael Osborne, 8. Xavier Ellis, 10. Chance Bateman, 15. Luke Hodge 18. Brent Guerra, 19. Jarryd Morton, 20. Rhan Hooper, 23. Lance Franklin, 25. Ryan Schoenmakers, 26. Liam Shiels, 27. Stephen Gilham, 28. Garry Moss, 29. Tom Murphy, 30. Campbell Brown, 31. Matthew Suckling, 34. Brent Renouf, 39. Ben Stratton, 41. Taylor Duryea, 42. Wayde Skipper, 45. Jarrod Kayler-Thomson, 48. Carl Peterson.</blockquote>

Lewis and Ladson not being injured makes for some great news for Hawk fans.

JKT should be on our radars as well!

CARLTON v ADELAIDE
<blockquote>Carlton
1. Andrew Walker, 2. Jordan Russell, 3. Marc Murphy, 4. Bryce Gibbs, 5. Chris Judd, 6. Kade Simpson, 7. Brock McLean, 8. Matthew Kreuzer, 10. Richard Hadley, 11. Robert Warnock, 12. Mitch Robinson, 13. Chris Yarran, 15. Steven Browne, 16. Shaun Grigg, 17. Setanta O’hAilpin, 18. Paul Bower, 19. Eddie Betts, 23. Lachie Henderson, 26. Joe Anderson, 29. Heath Scotland, 30. Jarrad Waite, 31. Marcus Davies, 32. Bret Thornton, 33. Ryan Houlihan, 34. Simon Wiggins, 39. Sam Jacobs, 40. Michael Jamison, 44. Andrew Carrazzo, 45. Aaron Joseph.</blockquote>



Jarrad interests me the most here. 25ppg underpriced at the moment, if he can come close to that, hes a bargain.

<blockquote>Adelaide
3. Brent Reilly, 4. Kurt Tippett, 6. Jonathon Griffin, 8. Myke Cook, 9. Tyson Edwards, 10. Jarrhan Jacky, 11. Michael Doughty, 12. Daniel Talia, 13. Taylor Walker, 14. David Mackay, 16. Phil Davis, 18. Graham Johncock, 20. Ivan Maric, 25. Ben Rutten, 26. Richard Douglas, 27. Scott Stevens, 28. Jack Gunston, 31. Rory Sloane, 32. Patrick Dangerfield, 33. Jared Petrenko, 35. Shaun McKernan, 36. Simon Goodwin, 37. Trent Hentschel, 38. Tony Armstrong, 39. Will Young, 44. Nathan Bock, 45. Ricky Henderson, 46. Chris Schmidt.</blockquote>



Phil Davis is back!

SYDNEY SWANS v NORTH MELBOURNE
<blockquote>Sydney Swans
1. Mark Seaby, 2. Rhyce Shaw, 3. Jarrad McVeigh, 4. Dan Hanneberry, 5. Ryan O’Keefe, 6. Craig Bolton, 9. Nick Malceski, 11. Ed Barlow, 12. Josh Kennedy, 15. Kieren Jack, 16. Gary Rohan, 17. Tadhg Kennelly, 18. Jesse White, 21. Ben McGlynn, 24. Jude Bolton, 25. Ted Richards, 29. Martin Mattner, 30. Lewis Roberts-Thomson, 31. Brett Kirk, 32. Lewis Jetta, 33. Jarred Moore, 37. Adam Goodes, 39. Heath Grundy, 40. Nick Smith, 41. Shane Mumford, 42. Paul Bevan.</blockquote>



Rhyce Shaws inclusion into the Swans backline will be interesting to watch. What effect will it have on the other Swans back there? Namely Malceski, Kennelly and Mattner.
Seaby and Mumford are still of relevance.
Rohan and Jetta get another week to shine!



<blockquote>North Melbourne
1. Hamish McIntosh, 3. Brady Rawlings, 4. Liam Anthony, 5. Ben Warren, 6. Lachlan Hansen, 7. Jack Ziebell, 8. Daniel Wells, 9. Andrew Swallow, 11. Michael Firrito, 12. Lindsay Thomas, 13. Leigh Adams, 14. Gavin Urquhart, 15. Ben Ross, 17. Nathan Grima, 16. Scott Thompson, 18. Josh Smith, 19. Sam Wright, 20. Drew Petrie, 22. Todd Goldstein, 24. Levi Greenwood, 25. Robbie Tarrant, 27. Aaron Edwards, 28. Ryan Bastinac, 29. Brent Harvey, 30. Daniel Pratt, 31. David Hale, 33. Matt Campbell, 39. Leigh Harding, 42. Scott McMahon.</blockquote>

Bastinac being named is nice to see!
But its Norths Mid-Pricers that have got me watching closely. Warren, Ziebell, Wright, Greenwood and Campbell are all very interesting right now.

Well take a look at Saturdays teams as they are announced!
...

As for right now though, who interest you? Who will you be watching closely?

WESTERN BULLDOGS v ST KILDA
Western Bulldogs

<blockquote>1. Jarrad Grant, 2. Robert Murphy, 3. Andrejs Everitt, 4. Daniel Cross, 5. Matthew Boyd, 7. Shaun Higgins, 8. Mitch Hahn, 9. Lindsay Gilbee, 10. Nathan Eagleton, 12. Tom Williams, 13. Daniel Giansiracusa, 14. Callan Ward, 15. Ben Hudson, 16 Ryan Griffen, 17. Adam Cooney, 20, Josh Hill, 21. Jason Akermanis, 22. Dylan Addison, 23. Jordan Roughead, 25. Ryan Hargrave, 27. Will Minson, 28. Barry Hall, 29. Easton Wood, 33. Tim Callan, 36. Brian Lake, 38. Dale Morris, 40. Jarrod Harbrow, 42. Liam Picken, 44. Brodie Moles.
</blockquote>
The doggies look to be real contenders this year, and because they were good last year, and look to have the ability to step up some more this year, I really see them as an excellent place to shop for underpriced premiums. Murphy, Higgins, Gilbeem Gia, Griffen, Cooney, Hall - all need to be considered.
J. Roughhead is looking a chance, but will need something to happen to Hudson or Minson. Still, might be good for coverage in the second half of the season.

<blockquote>St Kilda
1. Jason Gram, 2. Steven King, 4. Clint Jones, 5. Ben McEvoy, 6. Zac Dawson, 10. Steven Baker, 11. Leigh Montagna, 12. Nick Riewoldt, 13. Adam Schneider, 14. Jarryn Geary, 18. Brendon Goddard, 19. Sam Gilbert, 20. David Armitage, 21. Nick Heyne, 22. Farren Ray, 23. Justin Koschitzke, 25. Sam Fisher, 26. Nick Dal Santo, 27. Jason Blake, 28. Rhys Stanley, 29. Tom Lynch, 30. Brett Peake, 32. Andrew McQualter, 33. James Gwilt, 38. Will Johnson, 39. Alistair Smith, 44. Stephen Milne, 45. Luke Miles, 49. Steven Gaertner.</blockquote>
What to say- Its the Saints. They had a supreme year last year. Look elsewhere for *value*

MELBOURNE v WEST COAST
<blockquote>Melbourne
1. Matthew Warnock, 2. Nathan Jones, 5. Jordan Gysberts, 6. Matthew Bate, 7. Brad Miller, 8. James Frawley, 9. Jack Trengove, 12. Colin Sylvia, 13. Jordie McKenzie, 14. Lynden Dunn, 15. Ricky Petterd, 18. Brad Green, 19. Addam Maric, 22. Brent Moloney, 23. James McDonald, 25. Kyle Cheney, 29. Michael Newton, 30. Tom McNamara, 31. Tom Scully, 32. Cameron Bruce, 33. Austin Wonaeamirri, 34. Stefan Martin, 36. Aaron Davey, 38. Daniel Hughes, 40. Mark Jamar, 42. Jake Spencer, 43. Jamie Bennell, 44. Rohan Bail, 47. James Strauss</blockquote>
This is the game were all waiting for.
Scully and Trengove - what are they gunna do?
Strauss- gotta be watched.
Wonaeamirri! Beautifully priced and back from injury.
But no Macdonald? I wonder what the deal is.

<blockquote>West Coast
1. Mitch Brown, 2. Mark LeCras, 4. Daniel Kerr, 5. Brad Ebert, 6. Mark Nicoski, 7. Chris Masten, 8. Beau Waters, 9. Nic Naitanui, 10. Scott Selwood, 11. Matt Priddis, 12. Brad Sheppard, 13. Luke Shuey, 14. Koby Stevens, 15. Tom Swift, 16. Eric Mackenzie, 17. Josh Kennedy, 20. Dean Cox, 24. Matt Rosa, 26. Sam Butler, 29. Ashley Hansen, 30. Matt Spangher, 31. Will Schofield, 32. Andrew Embley, 35. Pat McGinnity, 37. Adam Selwood, 38. Brett Jones, 40. Will Sullivan</blockquote>
Nic Nat. One more chance to watch him dominate against sub-par competition. If he can dominate again, hes going to lock himself into a lot of teams. But what if he scores 50?
Sheppard and Shuey. Gotta watch these boys.

RICHMOND v ESSENDON
<blockquote>Richmond
2. Will Thursfield, 3. Brett Deledio, 5. Troy Simmonds, 6. Graham Polak, 8. Jack Riewoldt, 9. Trent Cotchin, 10. Shane Edwards, 15. Mitch Farmer, 16. Luke McGuane, 17. Chris Newman, 19. Daniel Connors, 20. Mitch Morton, 23. Daniel Jackson, 26. Robin Nahas, 27. Tom Hislop, 29. Tyrone Vickery, 30. Richard Tambling, 31. Adam Thomson, 32. Ben Cousins, 33. David Gourdis, 34. Andrew Browne, 36. Dustin Martin, 40. Kel Moore, 44. Troy Taylor, 47. Ben Nason, 50. Relton Roberts</blockquote>
Its the big two in the midfield for mine, but as with Melbourne, theres potential everywhere.

<blockquote>Essendon
1. Jay Neagle, 2. Ricky Dyson, 3. Scott Gumbleton, 4. Jobe Watson, 5. Brent Stanton, 6. Angus Monfries, 8. Jason Winderlich, 9. Brent Prismall, 11. David Zaharakis, 12. Andrew Welsh, 14. Sam Lonergan, 15. Courtenay Dempsey, 16. Tayte Pears, 17. Jake Melksham, 19. David Hille, 20. Henry Slattery, 23. David Myers, 26. Cale Hooker, 27. Jason Laycock, 29. Alwyn Davey, 30. Patrick Ryder, 31. Dustin Fletcher, 33. Mark Williams, 34. Kyle Hardingham, 37. Kyle Reimers, 39. Heath Hocking, 40. Ben Howlett, 43. Bachar Houli</blockquote>
Flag favorites. Lock in 22.
Durability picks Gumbleton, Hille and Myers step up to the plate in this game, as an Essendon fan, Im excited. As a SuperCoach, Im still planing to steer clear.

PORT ADELAIDE v COLLINGWOOD
<blockquote>Port Adelaide
1. Domenic Cassisi, 3. Steven Salopek, 4. Daniel Motlop, 6. Danyle Pearce, 7. Nathan Krakouer, 9. Jacob Surjan, 10. Travis Boak, 14. Paul Stewart, 16. Warren Tredrea, 17. Robbie Gray, 18. Kane Cornes, 19. Nick Salter, 20. Dean Brogan, 21. Matthew Thomas, 22. Jay Nash, 23. Matthew Lobbe, 26. Andrew Moore, 27. Alipate Carlile, 28. Jay Schulz, 31. Mitchell Banner, 33. Brett Ebert, 35. Chad Cornes, 38. Scott Harding, 39. Justin Westhoff, 41. Jason Davenport, 43. Daniel Stewart, 45. Cameron Hitchcock.</blockquote>
A surprising amount of value from the Power this year. A lot of rookies in Lobbe, Moore, Banner and Hitchcock.
Gray will need to be followed to see if he can follow up last weeks top effort.
Krakouer has put up some worrying numbers these past few weeks. Gotta keep an eye on him.

<blockquote>Collingwood
1. Leon Davis, 3. John McCarthy, 4. Alan Didak, 5. Nick Maxwell, 7. Paul Medhurst, 8. Harry OBrien, 9. John Anthony, 10. Scott Pendlebury, 11. Shane O’Bree, 12. Luke Ball, 13. Dale Thomas, 14. Anthony Corrie, 15. Leigh Brown, 18. Darren Jolly, 20. Ben Reid, 21. Sharrod Wellingham, 24. Tarkyn Lockyer, 25. Josh Fraser, 26. Ben Johnson, 29. Ryan Cook, 30. Brent Macaffer, 31. Chris Dawes, 32. Travis Cloke, 34. Alan Toovey, 35. Simon Prestigiacomo, 36. Dane Swan, 39. Heath Shaw, 41. Simon Buckley, 43. Jaxson Barham</blockquote>
Luke Ball. Averaged 86 in 80 minutes at the Saints. Will be great to see the kind of gametime he gets in this game.
Ben Reid and Buckley - Great potential value, but will need something big to stay on my list.

FREMANTLE v GEELONG CATS
<blockquote>Fremantle
2. Anthony Morabito, 3. Byron Schammer, 4. Paul Hasleby, 5. Garrick Ibbotson, 6. Greg Broughton, 8. Nick Suban, 9. Adam McPhee, 11. Des Headland, 15. Ryan Crowley, 18. Luke McPharlin, 19. Clayton Hinkley, 20. Chris Tarrant, 21. Michael Barlow, 23. Chris Mayne, 25. Steven Dodd, 26. Kepler Bradley, 27. Justin Bollenhagen, 28. Ryan Murphy, 29. Matthew Pavlich, 30. Zac Clarke, 31. Aaron Sandilands, 32. Stephen Hill, 37. Michael Johnson, 38. Michael Walters, 41. Paul Duffield, 43. Roger Hayden, 44. Jesse Crichton, 46. Clancee Pearce, 47. Jay van Berlo</blockquote>
Another team with two big rookie mids and a bunch of value elsewhere. Will be watching them closely against a class cats outfit.

<blockquote>Geelong Cats
3. Jimmy Bartel, 4. Andrew Mackie, 5. Travis Varcoe, 6. Brad Ottens, 7. Harry Taylor, 8. Josh Hunt, 9. James Kelly, 13. Tom Lonergan, 14. Joel Selwood, 17. Shannon Byrnes, 20. Steven Johnson, 21. Cameron Mooney, 22. Mitchell Duncan, 24. Mark Blake, 26. Tom Hawkins, 29. Gary Ablett, 30. Matthew Scarlett, 31. James Podsiadly, 32. Steven Motlop, 35. Paul Chapman, 39. Darren Milburn, 40. David Wojcinski, 44. Corey Enright, 45. Cameron Ling</blockquote>
The cats are looking back to full strength with Corey the only big name missing.
Will be good to see Ottens have a hit out.
Stevie J offers some potential if hes over that groin issue of last year.
In Jan I predicted a breakout year for Hawkins. If he can put up a decent score against a young Dockers outfit- then maybe?
Enright has been tearing it up this NAB.
Big Gaz - coming up against his bogie side in Freo, and Creepy Crowley. Personally, Im expecting a low score. Am just hoping he doesnt get himself injured!
