Dons add value to competition DEAR David Jones, The AFL Anti-Doping Tri- bunal’s decision to clear current and former Essendon players was as timely as it was helpful. Yours sincerely, The SuperCoach fraternity OK, now let’s get down to business. There are 21 players across three clubs that we hadn’t given a skerrick of SuperCoach consideration this summer. That needs to change. There was nothing fashion- able about Jobe Watson’s dou- ble denim get-up at Tuesday’s media conference. But the Brownlow medal- list’s fantasy price tag of $574,800 is as stylish as it gets. Watson is cheaper than Stefan Martin (Brisbane), injured Dog Tom Liberatore and Giant Adam Treloar. Last night, only 5 per cent of teams had 2014’s second-safest ball user and a midfield jet who averaged 123 points against finalists last year in their side. Ruckman Tom Bellcham- bers was out to impress in his short beige trench coat on Tuesday but he’ll look even sharper against Mike Pyke on Saturday. Downgrading from a Nic Naitanui or a Will Minson to Belly as your second ruck frees up about $200,000. Bellchambers is dual-pos- ition as a forward and certain to climb on his 2014 average of just 56 from seven games in a year plagued by ankle surgery. SAM LANDSBERGER PUNDITS DO BATTLE PICKING Chris Judd in SuperCoach was easy for Footy Show and KIIS FM star Dave Hughes. Trading him will be the tough part. Hughes’s footy smarts will be put to the test in the new Herald Sun Media Stars League, which will decide who are the best footy minds on TV, print and radio on the greatest battlefield of all — SuperCoach. The fanatical Carlton supporter has joined the Footy Show in 2015 but his energy is going into the team representing KIIS FM radio duo Hughesy and Kate. “Like Mick Malthouse with Carlton, I can’t see Hughesy and Kate losing a game,” Hughes said. “It’s called blind faith!” The league also features teams representing the footy experts at Fox Footy, Channel 9 news, Gold FM’s Brig and Lehmo and SEN’s Morning Glory. Channel 7 has some internal rivalry with three teams, including the AFL Game Day side. And they’ll all be trying to knock off the powerhouse that is Herald Sun Sport. See the teams at superfooty.com.au and add them to your league with one click on the SuperCoach leagues page.
