Anyone have thoughts on M Duncan? Always underrated, consistent (check last year when he didn’t get injured) & generally been a good SC / contested scorer (preference over the unproven Guthrie). $560k super POD (1% ownership)
Genuine A-Grader. I see him as a low risk option, perfect choice for a POD. If I didn't have Fyfe or Merrett I would grab him. I think I have to prioritise Steele, Titch and Neale for my final 3 mid slot unfortunately.

If he's playing forward, how is he getting most of his possessions in the back half?

Worst thing as people have noted about that heat map is the heavy concentration on the forward flanks and down towards the wing. You could draw two reasonably small ovals on either side of the ground and cover about 50% of his possessions.

Don't know how much of that is due to his role and how much is due to the Giant's game style, but it's an SC wasteland out there: possession chains that go nowhere, lower contested rate and less kicks that end up doing something useful and getting the ball into good scoring positions. Get some play through Kelly in the middle GWS and let him kick inside 50 PLEEASE!
