think his a chance of 100+. Been all over him just waiting to see how he goes in some pre season games

I have considered him too, west coast will need to start rucking him more so he will be ready for when cox retires
already been said that cox will play more fwd time this year and so could be nicnats break out year,
a good solid smokie choice that at worst should average 85+.  with west coast probably being top 4 contenders again,  I think they will still be using cox in the ruck as much as he can handle, then just rest him up fwd against the weaker teams which could = some big scores for nicnat this year when cox is up fwd or even rested

One word - speculative.
There are too many factors that have to go in his favour for him to have a great DT season.
Ruck options this year are great - much less risk and more reward elsewhere.

I think NicNat's game is better suited to SC. DT relies on possessions and NicNat generally won't get heaps of possession but his impact on the influence of the game is huge with his tackles, 2nd and 3rd efforts.

I think in SC a score of 100+ is realistic for him and he is one to consider in SC.

In DT - even though I think he'll improve his scoring output (he's done this each season), I think he'll only average around 80 - 85 in DT. For me, I wouldn't consider for DT as outlined above.

But Brilliant is the right word to describe this player. I could see him having the potential to be a future brownlow medallist.
