Profile

Markworth had some good games during his debut season at VFL level in 2012 and was getting close to a senior start but it didn't eventuate. During pre season training in Colorado he suffered a knee injury which required a reconstruction, resulting in him missing the entire 2013 season. This year he returned to action but didn't have a huge impact, kicking 3 goals and being named in the best 3/9 times. He missed the last half of the season with a hamstring complaint. While his AF price will attract some, consideration needs to be given regarding his potential to firstly get in the team and then stay there long enough to make money. Daniel's scoring in the VFL doesn't elicit much excitement either and I find it difficult to imagine him being a successful cash cow.

Pros - Should improve if he gets his body right

Cons - Scoring, injuries, js


Prediction - 40-44

[pommyadam]

he's currently in my side

but then I haven't done much research into the fwd rookies (currently have Jogan, Clark and Breid)
and is he really a worse option than the likes of Impey/Kennedy-Harris/other useless F8s that we've started the season with in recent times?

[Holz]

huge fan have waited years for him to get fit and get a game. Im hoping it is this year.

I think he can score a little better than predicted with a 55-60 average.

[Ricochet]

Have to strongly consider at that price
