In my mind it's a matter of when the hard tag comes to him and DESTROYS him. Those cheap kick ins will always help though.
Yeah agree with Ringo, if anyone down back is getting the tag this year, it'll be Rich.
Unless we move Rich back into the midfield. Personally, I hope that doesn't happen though, Rich thrives off half back, and would rather see guys like Matho, Clugg, Keays, etc running through the midfield.

I knew i was forgetting someone, but he was playing mostly mids already anyway haha

Southstorm

It feels like people picking this kid are chasing last year's price increase. Betting that he's top 6 material is risky given his lack of exposed form and given he's $470k, it's an expensive bet as well.

I honestly can't believe there's such a big discussion and so many people considering him  :o
Personally I think he will be lucky to average 80. If he does happen to average 90+ then just get him as an upgrade? It's not like he's at a bargain price so it's now or never. Seems all risk with very little reward.

Reminds me of when a lot of people were getting Kade Kolodjashnij. Think he atleast was going into his 3rd year though and had played 40 odd games. Still, didn't end well

Nailed it.
Risk not worth the reward.

We were all Sh**t today with D/E so do not write a lot into this game. Concern though if no improvement next game against suns.

7 clangers definitely isn't desirable, I'm happy to back him in to bounce back.

Tried to go for some really bullet kicks and butchered it nearly every time. Needs to keep it simple

One kick was absolutely horrid, 10 metres straight to 2 Swans. In any case you can't possibly pick a 9 gamer at that price.

You couldn’t possibly pick this bloke if you watched his game today. Would have been an embarrassment on an aflw field

Menzel Washington

Bradd Dalziell is a good example of why not to pick someone who has played less than 10 games but is priced highly...

In 2008 Dalziell made his debut for the Lions, playing the last 7 games of the season. During that time he averaged 92, with 4 hundreds. There was talk he was going to be the next big fantasy gun.

The following year only played 8 games, averaging 73. Never did end up a gun, or even an above average player.

So best to be wary when picking someone with limited game time...

All these experts judging a premo off one JLT game, smh. /s
