NAB Cup - Hawthorn vs. Richmond

Hawthorn

2. Jarryd Roughead, 3. Jordan Lewis, 4. Rick Ladson, 5. Sam Mitchell, 6. Josh Gibson, 8. Xavier Ellis, 12. Brad Sewell, 13. Simon Taylor, 14. Grant Birchall, 15. Luke Hodge, 16. Beau Dowler, 17. Beau Muston, 18. Brent Guerra, 19. Jarryd Morton, 21. Shane Savage, 23. Lance Franklin, 25. Ryan Schoenmakers, 26. Liam Shiels, 27. Stephen Gilham, 28. Garry Moss, 29. Tom Murphy, 30. Campbell Brown, 31. Matthew Suckling, 36. Jordan Lisle, 39. Ben Statton, 42. Wayde Skipper, 43. Will Sierakowski, 45. Jarrod Kayler-Thomson, 47. Luke Bruest.

Watch out for:
Wayde Skipper, the ruck position at Hawthorn has been decimated so there is a chance that Skipper plays a lot, and is a cheap fantasy player to sign.

Ryan Schoenmakers should be value for money in the fantasy back line, so see what role he has. Lisle is another option the Hawks have there, maybe later in the season he could play.

If Ladson plays well in preseason he will be signed by many fantasy teams but could be injured.


Richmond

2. Will Thursfield, 3. Brett Deledio, 6. Graham Polak, 8. Jack Riewoldt, 9. Trent Cotchin, 10. Shane Edwards, 14. Dean Polo, 15. Mitch Farmer, 17. Chris Newman, 18. Alex Rance, 19. Daniel Connors, 20. Mitch Morton, 21. Shane Tuck, 24. Andrew Collins, 25. Angus Graham, 26. Robin Nahas, 27. Tom Hislop, 29. Tyrone Vickery, 30. Richard Tambling, 31. Adam Thomson, 33. David Gourdis, 35. Matthew White, 36. Dustin Martin, 37. Jayden Post, 39. David Astbury, 40. Kel Moore, 46. Jeromey Webberley, 47. Ben Nason, 50. Relton Roberts.

Watch out for:
Tyrone Vickery, he is the future there and might be able to help fantasy teams right now. See how many minutes he gets, and where they play him.

The new midfield at Richmond is Deledio, Martin and Cotchin. Deledio isn't a fantasy forward now, but is worth his price in the middle. Both Martin and Cotchin could be fantasy bargains.

Tuck can still get a lot of stats, so see if the new coach is going to play him where the action is.

Farmer is a cheap fantasy midfielder/defender who could be useful with the new roles for moving around dual-position players, he may be able to win a spot in the Richmond back line.


My tip for this game is Hawthorn by a bit but we will see flash's of things to come from Richmond.
