Profile

He was meant to be the greatest first year fantasy player the world had ever seen...then he got priced out of the market and lasted just a handful of minutes in his debut game. When Jack returned he was well off the pace and despite doing a few good things he struggled to crack 60 points most weeks. So where does that leave him in 2015? He should be in line for a small discount and he did finish with a ton at least but Jack would need to tear the NAB apart to get near my team I think. Chances are there will be players available at a cheaper price who will score as well, if not better than he will.

Pros - Coming off injury affected season, possible discount

Cons - Price, poor scores


Prediction - 62-66

These are sensational write-ups MrC. Was about to throw in a few comments before really you'd summed up my thoughts in your profile.

I won't be picking JMart. Was underwhelming in my opinion and I can't see consistent tons in his future any time soon. Think good scores will come when he nails down a regular role in the team.

[Sweetness]

There was plenty of "better than Jaegar" comments preseason.
Wonder how he would have progressed without the Rd 1 injury.

Won't be rookie priced and unless he tears preseason a new one I'll likely steer clear.

[kilbluff1985]

should get M/F status might be worth looking at if cheap enough forward

[Vinny]

Not convinced JMart can crack it at AFL level yet. He isn't Jeager, yes he was better than Jeager in the 2s but O'Meara is a big body which is needed in AFL, so he was never going to have any issues.

JMart is skilled and classy but needs to bulk up big time. Unless he does that, I'd expect 60s-70s with the odd 90-100 game.

With a full pre season I think this guy represents serious value. At an average of 50 he won't be priced at much more than the early draft picks, if at all. Consider.

[Justin Bieber]

He does have a slim frame, so can see him playing mainly a small forward role for the next season or two. Don't think he'll be anything special in AF even then (more of an SC style player with his skills) so I'm steering clear of him unless he is just that cheap I can't not get him.

[Ricochet]

I'm still going to roll with the "will be better than Jaeger". The kid is a freak and could be anything.
Won't be looking at him in DT/AF but if a fwd will definitely look at him in SC

[pommyadam]

Won't be rookie priced and unless he tears preseason a new one I'll likely steer clear.

At an average of 50 though, he'll be the awkwardly-Miles-type priced (around 250-275k)

I agree with Vinny, he needs to bulk up - hopefully a full preseason will do that, and may be on the radar as a possible (depends on price and other rooks)

[Jukes]

He's no Jaeger, but he's a Claremont boy so gonna be good. Price would be a huge factor I'd imagine.

[Kellogscrunchynut]

Spudded big time when I had him expecting him to raise in price and was forced to field him some weeks. I won't be considering him next season perhaps one for the future.
