Top Defenders in SuperCoach

Defenders are definitely the problem area for most SuperCoaches in the 2011 finals.

H Scotland (Carl) - $474,100 - Av 108.17 - BreakEven 93 - Last 5 games (85,111,111,119,121)

Bye in Round 23 makes him not a great pick. Unless, of course, overflowing with trades.

B Goddard (StK) - $495,400 - Av 108.12 - BreakEven 91 - Last 5 games (161,108,106,119,138)

Enjoyed a return to 2010 form in the latter half of the season.

S Fisher (StK) - $417,100 - Av 105.65 - BreakEven 116 - Last 5 games (119,36,112,73,104)

Subbed off in 2nd last game (73). Cheap.

B Deledio (Rich) - $426,100 - Av 104.47 - BreakEven 70 - Last 5 games (89,103,71,114,115)

Relatively easy draw for Richmond in the SC finals (Syd, Melb, Adel, NM)

B Gibbs (Carl) - $492,500 - Av 103.67 - BreakEven 79 - Last 5 games (116,118,115,128,139)

ditto for Scotland

H Shaw (Coll) - $411,200 - Av 100.86

Major contributor to SC woes. Suspended for rest of SC season

G Broughton (Fre) - $488,000 - Av 99.88 - BreakEven 100 - Last 5 games (145,122,127,105,138)

Enjoyed a great run of scores playing as a midfielder last few weeks. Could end in a week or two with the return of Mundy.

C Newman (Rich) - $440,300 - Av 98.88

Optimistically, back for Round 23. Or not at all

C Enright (Geel) - $395,100 - Av 96.47 - BreakEven 82 - Last 5 games (113,82,74,80,115)

Rested for Round 20, and a bye in Round 22. Not a great trade.

G Birchall (Haw) - $409,600 - Av 95.06 - BreakEven 93 - Last 5 games (129,62,80,107,90)
M Suckling (Haw) - $407,700 - Av 94.80 - BreakEven 138 - Last 5 games (115,113,106,78,70)

Fairly easy draw for Hawthorn in the SC finals (Port, Carl, WB,GC).

J Adcock (BL) - $334,500 - Av 91.53 - BreakEven 50 - Last 5 games (68,71,66,83,102)

Has had a flat second half of season, thus cheap. Could last game (102) be a return to form? Unlikely
