He is in a huge percentage of teams (20% or something) but I have seen him in flower all teams on fan footy. Can someone explain the hype that the general public has with him.

Adamant

The media wank over him. Same reason why Stringer is/was in so many teams, the n00bs love these players.

It's your typical hype over a high draft pick who's on the cusp of a breakout. It certainly will happen but the chances of it happening from round 1 are fairly remote I would have thought. Happy to jump on once he strings together a few decent scores.

Yeah he's the kind of player "experts" like The Phantom pump up at the start of the year

He's in my team actually, fairly sure he will explode at some point and average 100+... just trying to work out when that will be.

Haha fair enough, I don't read many of the phantoms articles which is probably why I haven't seen much of the media hype.

Heard somewhere that he was due for a lot of midfield minutes this coming season but in JLT 1 played on the forward flank like he did last year.

He is on my watchlist purely because I am not confident in any of the 500k forwards.

Get the 474 + 475 duo from the same team, will both finish top 10

ele is the Phantom

Haha ugh I don't know who the phantom is, but 95% of 'fantasy experts' are absolute hacks so I'll be offended :P

Gunston and Roughy... could do better imo

Reckon he'll be a good pick but I think his POD teammate that's 20k less will average even more.

So you're picking both then?

Doubt it. Think I'll just pick one.

ANB will be a massive POD though especially if he doesn't play JLT2 due to a very slight upper leg injury picked up at training this week.

I'd be pretty worried he'll just average 70ish in the forward line once we get our full team in though

Reckon he will play in the mids and fwds just like Trac will but think ANB will be able to run out games better due to his better tank.

ANB has an elite tank so you're probably on the money.
