SC avg in those 11 matches: 107.91 from 11 (1/11 below 90, 5/11 below 100, 2/11 120+)
23 consecutive matches with 10 or more disposals.
In 7 of his last 9 matches he has recorded 15 or more disposals.
15+: 129.71 from 7
0-14: 65.5 from 2
In both of those matches he has also recorded 3 or less HTA.

Yes and No...
He's had numerous 15+ Disposal games prior to this year scoring in the 70's and 80's. So what has changed for this season...?
From the few Bulldogs games I've watched, his CP's rate and clearances have increased and he's having a much greater impact in games. Couple that with the shorter game (scaling effect) and that's where I feel his increased output is stemming from.
Without the above, I feel that he's at best a 90-100 player as his rucking craft is still a work in progress.

Gawn's form of the last month shows why it's risky to leave players like him out of your starting lineup thinking that they'll drop in price and become attainable later on. I know there were concerns with his injury and maybe the extra time off between Round 1 and 2 helped him a bit but I think an early season run this like was inevitable from him anyway.
We are so blessed to have 2 lock-in ruckmen who can average 125+ each season without breaking a sweat. Hardly have to worry about captaincy decisions anymore because it's rare that at least one of them doesn't score 125 on any given weekend. The safety of the Gawn/Grundy VC/C combo can't be understated. Makes SC so much easier.

I think COVID or not Naismith would have done what he always does and that's get injured. Naismith owners got a Get Out of Jail Free card on that one. I do wonder how long it would have taken Gawn to get going if it wasn't for the break, though. Don't think we would have seen a 190 from him Round 2.
The great unknown
I do recall watching Naismith against the Crows though in Round 1 , and thinking he has some serious talent , hopefully he gets his body right and gets back on the park at some stage.
Yes would have been interesting to see if there were any lingering knee issues for Gawn or not.
I am already looking forward to the 2021 discussion around whether to start Gawn or not ?
Based on this season's pricing a :-
140 average = $ 760,200.00
145 average = $ 787,350.00
150 average = $ 814,500.00
