Well, it looks like Sportsbet has gotten into the Supercoach gambling market, creating 6 groups across the 4 positions.




So lets take a closer look at these groups, see if we can't find some value.




Group One: Mids




$ 2.75 Ablett

$ 4.50 Pendlebury

$ 6.00 Swan

$ 8.00 Watson

$ 8.00 Dangerfield

$ 8.00 Beams

$10.00 JPK

$10.00 J. Selwood





Ablett, the clear front runner would have won this group by a smidge over 100 points last year. However, considering the high averages at play here, that's only 1 game clear. So had he played 19 games last year (As he's done in the past), Watson, JPK and Dangerfield all would have hit beat.




Definitely worth a sneaky nibble on JPK I reckon, and maybe Beams if he can play all 22.




Group Two: Mids




$3.50 Cotchin




Alright, being a betting man, reckon you'd be crazy to bet against Cotchin in this group




Group Three: Mids




$5.00 S. Selwood

$5.50 Ward

$6.00 Sloane

$6.00 Griffin

$7.00 O'Keefe

$7.00 Judd

$7.00 Sidebottom

$8.00 Redden





Definitely some value here, but boy will it be tough to seperate. Selwood for mine rightfully tops the group, scoring the most this year, with a little room to grow, but then, Ward topped the averages in this group, but missed 2 game- also with some potential to grow.




Personally, I'd rule Griffen, O'keefe and Judd out, making it a group of 5. Definitely would be some worth in getting on a couple of them, but the amount of time they'd be holding your cash would make it not so worth it.




Group Four: Forwards




$2.75 Franklin

$5.50 Rockliff

$7.00 Rioli

$7.00 Zorko

$8.00 SJ

$8.00 Walker

$8.00 Chapman

$9.00 Hawkins





Franklin does deserve to top this group, his average is a mile ahead of his competitors. However, as we saw last year, he does have the potential to miss game.




As such, there is definitely room for a couple of these better value players to snatch the win. Rockliff would be my bet, particularly if he can raise his average back to his 2011 standards. SJ would have been a chance, but already is going into the season a game down, while Zorko is the wild card after a fantastic debut season.




Group Five: Defenders

[span style='font-size: 12px;]


<div>[span style='font-size: 12px;]$ 3.50 Goddard

$ 4.50 Gibbs

$ 5.00 Shaw

$ 7.00 Birchall

$ 8.00 Enright

$10.00 Scotland

$10.00 Heppell

$12.00 Grimes





Definitely between the top three here, really tough to split them and will likely come down to who misses the least amount of games.




Though I reckon if you ask DW, he'll be all over Birchall here.
Group Six: Rucks




$ 3.50 Cox

$ 4.50 Maric

$ 7.00 Jacobs

$ 7.00 McEvoy

$ 7.00 Naitanui

$ 7.00 Ryder

$ 8.00 Goldstein

$12.00 Sandilands





Well, Sandilands is out of the running, as if Naitanui if he misses enough games early.




With Ryder and McEvoy missing a swag of games last year, it would be extremely difficult to go past Cox here.




His two main competitors would be Maric and Jacobs, with the biggest question being whether they can improve on their last year.




Personally, I might have a little nibble on Rockliff here, and if we could multi, would be dumping a swag load onto it.




Anything catching anyone's eye here?
