Nobody was even considering him and then old mate 'The Phantom' has mentioned him and suddenly he's an option.

Just no.

Okay, I'll re-word it. Barely anybody was even considering Bonner.

I see you read The Phantom's article. Ill be more than happy for people to take Bonner as I see no benefit in it over a rookie option or 4th premium..

Rookie type JS,
Solid scoring, but unlikely to make enough to be a cash cow, nor enough to be a stepping stone. Would need to average 83 up to the bye playing every game to make it worthwhile. For every game he misses he wold need to average 2.6 points more to cover.
Early bye - If he misses a few games or has a few not scoring well and you will be worse off when you get to the bye.

Well said.

I think it's funny that people take these tid-bits of advice from these experts  and it rings in their ears but I'd rather hear the opinion of some fanfooty members instead. Just remember that at the end of the day these experts know no more than you or I about SC haha we are all experts here!

Tell me about it

He's just another option. Would rather Birchall or rookie for sure. But with limited preseason and limited options respectively people are hoping someone cheap comes along for D4. Who knows? Players can come out of nowhere in SC. Stranger things have happened.

True. Newman paid off as a rook. Midpricers can do the same, but picking the right one and not too many is usually what brings you down.

The FF love for Bonner is OOT

Might turn into a nice player, but for SC right now? No

Might be one of the few options if the cheapies don't get up.

Newman was always a massive NEAFL ball winner and everyone expected he'd score well when he played. Reminded us of the Titch situation when he wasn't getting games. This isn't the situation with Bonner as he just isn't all that

Agreed. Plenty of people on Fan Footy that know more about supercoach than 'the experts'.
