NAB Cup - Geelong vs. North Melbourne

Geelong

3. Jimmy Bartel, 4. Andrew Mackie, 5. Travis Varcoe, 7. Harry Taylor, 8. Josh Hunt, 9. James Kelly, 11. Joel Corey, 13. Tom Lonergan, 14. Joel Selwood, 16. Dawson Simpson, 17. Shannon Byrnes, 20. Steve Johnson, 21. Cameron Mooney, 22. Mitch Duncan, 24. Mark Blake, 25. Tom Gillies, 26. Tom Hawkins, 28. Allen Christensen, 29. Gary Ablett, 31. James Podsiadly, 32. Steve Motlop, 37. Jeremy Laidler, 38. Taylor Hunt, 39. Darren Milburn, 40. David Wojcinski, 44. Corey Enright, 45. Cameron Ling, 46. Adam Varcoe, 48. Tom Allwright.

Watch out for:

Josh Hunt, with Harley gone and Wojcinski under pressure to keep his spot there is the likelihood that J Hunt walks back into the side. His big leg will be great for SuperCoach, and he is cheap in Dream Team too.

Football fans who have watched the VFL will know that James Podsiadly is a quality player, and the Cats have talked about using him up forward alongside Mooney and Hawkins. James Podsiadly is the cheapest fantasy player you can get, so if the Cats put him on the field he will be in many fantasy teams.



North Melbourne

1. Hamish McIntosh, 2. Ed Lower, 3. Brady Rawlings, 4. Liam Anthony, 5. Ben Warren, 6. Lachlan Hansen, 7. Jack Ziebell, 9. Andrew Swallow, 11. Michael Firrito, 13. Leigh Adams, 14. Gavin Urquhart, 15. Ben Ross, 16. Scott Thompson, 19. Sam Wright, 20. Drew Petrie, 21. Corey Jones, 22. Todd Goldstein, 24. Levi Greenwood, 25. Robbie Tarrant, 27. Aaron Edwards, 29. Brent Harvey, 30. Daniel Pratt, 31. David Hale, 32. Cruize Garlett, 33. Matt Campbell, 39. Leigh Harding, 42. Scott McMahon, 43. Marcus White, 46. Ben Speight.

Watch out for:

Robbie Tarrant, he should play this year. The Kangaroos have to figure out if he is a forward, back or a big midfielder.

Greenwood could be useful, a fantasy defender spending plenty of time in the centre for his AFL club. Urquhart, Ross and Hale could win bigger roles if they impress their new coach.


They have unusually left out there top draft picks. Wait to see what they do for the rest of the pre-season.


Geelong should come out and win quite easily.
