Thoughts

Nathan Foley is a successful entertainer most well known for his role on the beloved childrens show...wait. That really did throw me when I googled his name though.

Back to business. Honestly don't think Nathan Foley is good enough to hold a keeper position in your midfield. Fantasy wise he is simply outclassed by team mates Deledio and Cotchin, while he does come a good deal cheaper he doesn't represent a great deal more value. At 27 he isn't particularly likely to break out and average 110+ (although it's possible) and I don't know about you but I'm not going to be holding a 100 in my mids going into SC finals.

He's a great player on the field, and a tackling machine. While he's certainly provide a point of difference it seems all too likely it's one that will lose you games rather than win them.

Of course there is also the issue with his fitness, has only managed to play 15 games or more once in the last 4 seasons.




Verdict

This must be one of the most predictable verdicts yet - a solid no. Of course a lot can happen in 6 months and he may do something that makes me change my mind.




Prediction

If he's on the park I can see 104.

Yep, cant see him being up there with the best. Good player though.
