Injury Effected


Profile

It was a pretty underwhelming debut season for the No.12 draft pick, at least at AFL level, but there's no doubt he can become a great player with time and a fantasy slut to boot. 5 green vests meant that he actually fell in value through the season and will hopefully be at an appealing price in 2015. The question then is if he can firm up his position in the team because if he manages that then he'll be a great cash cow. Ben's performances in the VFL showed he can be very consistent with his only score under 73 for the year being a result of injury. If he can hold on to his DPP and make a fist of pre season then he should be strongly considered.

Pros - Big ball winner, great kick/handball ratio, marking machine

Cons - Very low tackle numbers, vests


Prediction - 55-62

Very nice VFL numbers, and may well be a handy pick up if he looks like getting a regular run. Will be appealing if he keeps the DPP.

[pommyadam]

if he looks best 22 in the nab, with keeping DPP, then he's virtually a lock - because he'll be dirt cheap

[Nosaj]

Hopefully he becomes def/fwd. From what I know he played back in the VFL and some of his AFL games this year. Then group him up with Reid down back and him up forward and your set!

[Sweetness]

Prob around $170-$200k next year.
Will need to do enough to justify picking over the cheaper rooks.
