Avoid Greg Broughton ‘keepers’ who will miss the final Paul Duffield four rounds (DT Finals). Josh Toy OVERALL WIN: Paul Puopolo Make sure you have players covered during multi-bye MIDFIELDERS rounds. Don’t pick more than 3 Scott Pendlebury (ideally only 2 starters) in any Leigh Montagna position from teams who share Andrew Gaff multi-byes.

The players with ‘ locks ’ are all in 10 Essendon their current teams approximately one week before lockout. The other players are spread across their respective teams. Note the DPP links (which all 11 Richmond teams should consider). There are a few risks here, but most are based on prior form and some stellar NAB Cup/Challenge performances. 12 Port Adelaide MAKE USE OF DUAL POSITION PLAYERS (DPP) 13 Collingwood The proposition of a donut sounds like a tasty prospect, but when we are talking DT, there is 14 St. Kilda nothing worse. The best way to avoid copping a 0 score on your ground this year (caused by 15 West Coast injuries or bye) is the strategic use of dual position players. For example: if you look at the sample team and imagine that Bryce Gibbs (D/M) has a bye and all the defenders on the Adelaide bench are unavailable for selection, well (never fear DPP is here) there is still hope of 16 Fremantle covering the 0. If you look in the midfield at Dyson Heppell (D/M) he can be Melbourne directly swapped into the defence for Bryce and assuming you have a bench player to 17 Hawthorn selected in the midfield, they can now cover the hideous donut created by the Carlton Bye. 18 Port Adelaide Follow @RoyDT on Twitter Brisbane BEWARE OF INJURED PLAYERS 19 Richmond There are quite a few potential picks who missed a lot of the pre-season. They may Sydney play round one, but are likely to be under done. Brian Lake, Luke Hodge, Daniel 20 Western Bulldogs Kerr and even Paul Chapman may not play Round 1. Gary Ablett hasn’t trained a 21 North Melbourne lot and is a perfect upgrade target. Did you miss the injuries to Ian Callinan and Tendai Mzungu? They will be great downgrade targets when they debut, don’t pick 22 Geelong them now. Check club injury lists in the lead up to lockout. 23 Carlton Follow @WarnieDT on Twitter 24 Essendon THE PARTIAL LOCKOUT KEY The Partial Lockout is exactly that. Lock out that happens in parts.
