Profile

Dick was drafted by Sydney in 2012 but failed to break into the senior team in his two years at the club. Aside from dropping off a little at the end of the 2014, he enjoyed a solid season at NEAFL level and was able to push through the midfield at times which has resulted in him getting DPP status. With Carlton having 12 departures in the off season (with a number being regular players) it does provide the opportunity for players like Dick to make an impression. Obviously anyone at 120k that has a remote sniff at getting a game should be on people's watch list. If he's named Round 1 he'll be hard to pass up because viable alternatives may be considerably more expensive.


Pros - Could get opportunities, good marking numbers, doesn't give away free kicks

Cons - Poor tackle numbers, js


Prediction - 50-53

Really need him to get early games with the lack of defensive rookie starters this year.
