What changed for Dane Rampe last year?

A long history of 75-85 averages, then from round 11 onwards he averaged around 105. Could this continue?

I’m just going through the defenders list looking for PODs as my defence feels a bit vanilla with all the higher ownership players. He caught my eye as he wasn’t someone that I had on my shortlist.

J Crisp:



Recorded career high averages in disposals and marks in 2019 but dropped by approximately 7 to an avg below 90.
This is really interesting. Can 2019 be written off as a season where Crisp was just marked harshly by the scorers? One of the intricacies of SC. I'm going to seriously consider him based on this. Not missing games is also a huge plus.

Me too. Genuinely confused how he increased his fantasy average by 10 but decreased SuperCoach average by 7. His DE was a little lower and clangers up a bit but not nearly enough for that and I can’t see a drop in any other important stats. 26 and hasn’t missed a game in 5 years.

If I go for a value option in defense I’ll probably take him over a Houston/Dawson type.

This was my thinking last season: doesn't miss games, plenty of ball, year-on-year improvement... had him all year and he went backwards.

He could put up a 105 average if he could hit targets, especially with Collingwood experimenting with him through the middle a bit. He's like a backline Treloar: pick the year he goes bang and you're laughing; every other year it's painful watching the kicks to no-one.

He had next to 0 pre season last year too if I remember correctly. He’s now had 5 seasons between 85 and 90 which is enough of an established pattern for me to think that will be his likely output. Better options that are both around that price and have more favourable bye rounds.

Playing devil's advocate but by that logic you could say he has established himself as a 1:1 DT:SC player (10,974:10,850) over his career which makes him ~9ppg underpriced.
