Thoughts
Bundy increased his average by 13 PPG in 2013 and really made the step up into a regular Geelong midfielder, also boosting his stats in kicks, handballs, marks, tackles and goals last year. With the departures of Geelong veterans in Joel Corey and Paul Chapman, Christensen will again have plenty of midfield time and more appearances at the stoppages - where his contested ball winning ability excels. I believe Bundy will improve once more, thriving on the extra opportunities, without getting to much attention. He kicks goals, tackles and while he is often put in the category of Motlop, Stokes, Christensen, he is a vastly different player, who wins plenty of hard ball (something he is not widely noted for).

Verdict
Christensen is an A-grade midfielder and I expect 2014 to be a much more consistent season for the young midfielder and with his forward status still intact he is one to think about as a POD.

Prediction
98.

He should be fairly unique. I'm considering him as my 3rd forward premium, but it all depends on who gets DPP.

Are we sure he will retain DPP? he was very lucky IMO to keep it this year.

He should keep it for one more year IMO.
What do you reckon Shorty?

Yeh its pretty 50/50. I mean I watch every Geelong game and these days he's 75% midfield 25% half forward flank floating up. Personally I think he may lose it but yeh its a 50/50 call, but to not sit on the fence I'll say he will keep it haha.

This guy will probably become more popular if/when Rocky and NicNat lose fwd status

[Jroo]

Lost F/M status and is only a MID  :'(

I kind of did, but was hoping he'd keep it for one more year. Oh well, but he should get even more MID time in 2014.
