Always nice of them to do it in the preseason instead of cooking us in round 4 
Score 1 to the anti-Hall crew!

He has had a impressive preseason but his rd 1 chances I think are slim, I have been to a lot of training sessions and I would say obviously miochek and Cameron are infront of him and than it also looks like cox is going to get first crack and than Kelly is probaly on par with Kruger for the next best to come in, has been training as a forward all preseason could possibly get thrown back though depending how serious howes groin is
I have started Jack Crisp in the last 2 years, which have been quite successful from my perspective.
Not sure how I feel about Crisp playing a lot of midfield this year, but will follow his DT:SC ratio closely in the pre-season games.
Usually Crisp production is much higher when he plays midfield, but his efficiency drops and clangers increase at much faster rates, resulting in a slight net loss in SC average.

Curious if you have this one in your encyclopaedic brain/database
Crisp average with both Howe & Moore playing.
Crisp average when Howe is missing.
Crisp average when Moore is missing.

The only reason he hasn't started over those duds is injury. Recovering from the ACL in 2020 and then the syndesmosis meant he missed about 4 months from late Jan to late May last year. No VFL delayed his debut until round 22.
He likely would have played as the third tall in defence, if it wasn't for McGovern impressing in his role change. I was reading on BF (not sure of the rules re quoting) that they are keen to introduce him into the midfield, and build his time there as fitness allows. The best way to do that is via the forward line.
He has a real burst of speed for his size (now 195cm apparently), and the comparison in the BF post was to Fyfe's early days. The mix of talls will be interesting and Thursday's game against the Saints won't tell us everything, as Harry won't play. I think he can co-exist with Silvagni (Curnow and McKay certainties), as long as Jack is doing some relief rucking, and then Kemp is up the ground when Silvagni is forward.
In the same way they are keen to play Gov because he adds genuine speed (for his height), Kemp should be prioritised over slower players like Kennedy and even Silvagni.

Unsurprisingly, 70.3% of Jake Lloyd's score is made up of effective disposals, Jack Ziebell had him pipped for effective kicks though at 63.9% vs 57.9%. Harris Andrews relied on effective use of the footy the least amongst these defenders, with just 41.8% attributed to disposals
Andrews did rely on his marking and intercepts in particular with a quarter of his score each week gained from marks alone. Bailey Dale was the lowest notching up just 9.2% of his score from marks each week. (Side note: Jayden Short took just 1 contested mark in 2021)
Caleb Daniel was most prolific at ground level with 28.3% of his score generated from Ground Ball Gets each week. Jordan Ridley in somewhat of a surprise had the lowest ratio with just 13.2% of his score from GBGs
Jack Crisp loved a tackle with 13.7% of his score due to them, but he needs to clean them up a touch as he had the worst differential when it came to free kicks at -2.3% Tom Stewart was the lowest when it came to tackles at just 4.1% each week
There could be room for improvement in 2022 if Daniel Rich can stop turning it over, losing 21.7% of his score each week to turnovers. Harris Andrews had no such problems with turnovers accounting for just -8.0%, mostly due to his already low disposal numbers.
Jordan Dawson had the highest percentage of scores from other sources at 15.1%, mostly due to his 9 goals throughout the season. Tom Stewart might feel slightly hard done by, losing 6.1% through other sources.
