I think we also discount how much easier it will be for a guy like JHF when you've got Simpkin and LDU in there to help win the ball, Hall coming off half back to hit him up and just the team generally not getting smashed.
I thought it was a solid game, he definitely scored better than I expected which is always a good trait. He's so clean and he tackles well, those are really strong starting points for scoring well in quieter games.
I also love that he's a very strong chance of being a DPP forward at round 7 as I think there will be rewards this year for holding the better rookies a bit longer. Also has the best bye if you were to hold to that point.
I do think JHF is more Noah Anderson than Matt Rowell as a pick though where I feel pretty good he makes you 150k but it's probably going to be closer to round 12 than round 6, hopefully he's a bit quicker than him and times it more around round 14 than 18 to hit that 240k clip though, that would be really nice

Thoughts on the fantasy game for Paddy McCartin? I could barely stand watching the swans v giants game due to the camerawork.
Swans BF seem to be confident his name is inked in to the round 1 22 so he must have been pretty impressive?
It will be a great story if he goes on to have a good career from here

Has that place become any less nauseating than back in the day? Used to be just about the worst of the BF team boards and if you're a fan of the team and feel that way it says something
He was outstanding, not just playing well for a spot in the team but very good for fantasy purposes. Probably going to be times he gets beaten doing it but he always backs himself to mark it rather than spoil, which I love. Worth noting though that Horse always had issues with Aliir doing the same (albeit it was more that he would then play on and take the game on) so the fact I like him doing it doesn't mean Horse will and, sadly, his opinion matters more!
We could use an intercept option as well so having him willing to do it could be very good.
Definitely potential for a 70 type average there with definite potential for 100+ spike games. Will also be games where he scores 30 I dare say given the role but the fact that he got the start and then demanded attention with his play, is a very good sign. That spot in the side is wide open and both Reid and Melican are strong competition but McCartin has a lot more natural ability than those two (Reid is now well past the potential phase of his career, he is what he is) so I'd like to see him as the priority.
DPP just makes him a better option. Like any rookie KPD, ideally he'd be a looped bench option but his price probably you want a starter from, need to see another game and would love to see the stats as it was impossible to watch that game but was a big tick for mine.
Way to give us nothing James...
