I know you’re all probably champing at the bit to wrap the peepers around 2012′s first edition of The Movers but it actually doesn’t come out til after Round 3. Gotta give the boys time to build up some form.
In the meantime, how about some left-of-centre predictions for who might make the first edition at each position?
Me, watching Grant Birchall's scores now: 
{ 39 comments… read them below or add one }
Brian Lake… that’s left of centre for you!

Wait – is left of Centre defence or attack … or are we talking wingmen here ? If so, I think Goose – he has a need, a need for speed … like an ex-footballer we shan’t mention.

He has a need for dirty speed. Very dirty speed.

According to Barry Clark:
“Leftists… claim that human development flourishes when individuals engage in cooperative, mutually respectful relations that can thrive only when excessive differences in status, power, and wealth are eliminated”.
That makes everyone on SCT a leftist. Right?

Here’s what I rekon:
Backs: Hibberd
Mids: Brad Ebert

Forwards: Franklin
And yes I know franklins the most expensive forward but how can you not pick him here.
Honourable mentions to Rys Palmer, Callan Ward, Patty Ryder, Andrew Gaff and J McCarthy.

Only because he will not drop too much value, he won’t gain much either.
I think he could still go alright despite this round one hiccup (major hiccup)!

I think your chillers nailed it my friend, Toddy won’t match his heights from last year, at least not on a consistent basis
Daniel Kerr, genuine possibility that he’ll be a chiller come round 3.

Left of centre- Essendon- did H.Mac missing that goal add 20sc points toveryones score??! Ok all jokes aside, well done bombers, a lot of bargain scores were probably had!
Well these are not all left of centre but a few of those who impressed me (there are more but I’m just listing a few)
Name / 2011 ave/ rd1 score
Defence
Adcock / 90.5 / 140
Yarran (c’mon I know Motts can’t resist that one) / 87.3 / 111
Birchall / 94 / 103
Hibberd / 73.9 / 116
On the watchlist: Dempsey, Suckling, Bugg, Heppell (surely a gun come end of the year if not there yet. Amazing), Guthrie.
Disappointing: Lake, Fisher :/ , Scotland, Newman, Harry ‘O (though you all tell me he’s not much of a sc player- I still think he is a good footballer), Broughton.
Mids
Stanton- what the? / 99.4 / 180
GAJ / permacaptain- ’nuff said
Pendlebury / will he win the brownlow this year?
NDS / 119.4 / 148 -will he win the brownlow this year? J/k but hopefully even better year for my boy than last year
Mitchell / 113.5 / 139
Murphy / 118 / 119 only one more on last year but he’s going have a huge year
Bartel / 101.2 / 120 in form
Watchlist: Rockliff, Gibbs, Priddis, Barlow- hardly played and still got 72. Was on for all of half a minute and goaled.
Disappointing: Old Mac- great score but crap because you got yourself suspended, Pavlich- expected a higher score, same with Dustin Martin
the entire Melbourne team bar Magner
Rucks
Kreuzer / 77.2 / 125
Sandilands / 110.8 / 113
Natanui / 93.8 / 105
Ryder / 90.5 / 165
Food for thought: how many of you are doing the WC double? Cox and NicNat ? Looking the goods. McEvoy should be better than how he scored against Port, so a little disappointed there. Maric the quiet achiever. Do we think Trent West will head to either of the new teams at end of the year? Big O very, very disappointing.
Fwds
Buddy – come on its buddy, no contest
J.Riewoldt / 81.5 / 118 -Coleman this year?
Rioli / 99.6 / 116
J.Kennedy / 86.8/ 115
Fyfe / 108 / 109 -one of if not the best youngster playing the game
Ones to watch: A. Kennedy GWS, Tippett, Stanley (stk) but not sure how many games he will get- should have had a lot more games in him by now but we were going hell-for-leather for a flag. Porpoise who started slow but took off on the latter half.
*sorry if this is crap, I have a cracking headache.
Read on the app somewhere you cannot reverse trades so guess I’m stuck with the changes I made to my SCTTL team. Oh well. Live and learn -to read.
Good luck this week everyone.

Found this one in the Jan RMT thread mate.
Reckon he could well make the Drillers and you may want to re-assess your Sturt contact!
Motts January 7, 2012 at 3:28 pm
Got worded up by an Adelaide mate who barracks for Sturt while I was over there at Xmas that C Wingard ain’t everything I was hoping he was going to be. Advice was to avoid.

Hey Motts, Just wondering whether you had a comparison of the SC points that the rookies got from week 1?
I’m thinking I may have picked a few dud rookies and might look at trading a few out, even as early as round 2! Anybody else in the same boat?
