Profile

To be honest I'd almost forgotten Chris Knights was still a thing, not surprising given he has made only 10 AFL appearances over the last three seasons. Once again in 2014 Knights was dogged by knee issues, he was able to put in a handful of games at VFL level and then did his quad to finish the year. I guess time will tell if he can stay on the park for any considerable amount of time and if Richmond actually consider him anywhere near their best 22. He can certainly get his hands on the ball and you'd imagine he'll be in line for a discount but a lot of things would have to fall into place before selecting him in your team. Worth throwing onto the watchlist anyway.

Pros - Can ton up, possible discount

Cons - Injuries, js


Prediction - 70-74

Surely a massive no.

Unless he is priced at rookie ish level to start, and even then only in AF where the 2trades and weekly price movement promote buy low sell high attitudes

[Nige]

I'm of the belief he's best 22 when fit as what he offers to the side is pretty great.

But yeah, as a fantasy prospect he's an option you could consider him if fit, but it would certainly be a ballsy selection.

[Toga]

He will be best 22 if/when he gets his knee sorted. Was unlucky this year as he was experiencing discomfort because there were fragments of bone sitting in his knee that they had missed during the last clean up so sounds like we was close to a return once they had this sorted, but then had his quad issue.

High hopes he can get on the field and be a contributor in 2015 :)

[Sweetness]

Should get a nice discount.
Certainly on the watchlist.

[pommyadam]

why is this still a thing? isn't he like Higgins but worse?

having started fantasy in 2012, he's never been relevant for me, and why should that continue?
a bit meh in the VFL too (4 out of 5 games under his average)

[Toga]

Meanwhile Higgins was quite a good pick up for his starting price this year, so Knights could definitely be relevant with a discount next year.

Most of those VFL games were from about a half to three quarters game time as well mate.

Yep this. If he can get through a preseason he surely has to be considered

[Jukes]

Last four seasons has played 5, 16, 5 and 5 games. Pretty sure he's been talked up here before each of those seasons.

Could be good, but naaaaaahhhhhh

[shaker]

Would have to have an amazing preseason to even consider
