Thedraft planneris awesome. It lets you enter in what you think a player will average, then use that to generate an awesome draft list for you based on the results of a VBD calc.
You know what else it let you do? Lets you put your fingers on the pulse of the players that people believe will break out this year.
Now, of course, this tends to miss a lot of rookies, since those guys generally won't average enough to be draft league relevant.
So lets take a look at some of the data.

Viv and Dom both show why they are in a lot of teams this year. There's a lot of confidence there. As is Suckling and Sandi



There's a good mindset out there that Liam Shiels is going to be one of the top risers this year. Not many have the stones to go with him though. Maybe they should? Also interesting to see the love coming towards John Butcher. A great talent, but needs to get his body right!



Caddy, Macrae, Savage, Higgins are the usual suspects, but Rhys Palmer, Joe Daniher and Hawkins could provide just as much value.

A lot of injuries on this list, as people scale them back to not select them- but more importantly, there's a lot of ruckmen. Don't know if thats a strategy to manipulate the draft system, or if people really believe that 11 of the top 20 fallers this year will play a role in the ruck.
