Walsh seems almost certain to average a minimum of 110 this season. Yes, Zac Williams arrives but surely that impacts a number of other players at Carlton before it impacts Walsh.
115 is probably the max I could see him averaging in 2021. He will be 21 years old and the best of the current midfielder averages at 21 were Oliver (115), Rockliff (114) and Merrett (112).

NORTH Melbourne youngster Charlie Comben faces a delayed start to the season after suffering a leg stress fracture.
Comben, 19, was ruled out for an indefinite period after scans revealed a tibial stress fracture in his right leg.

Just checking Brisbane/ Lachie Neale's draw to start the season :-
Lions play Sydney round 1:
Neale's average v Sydney - 80. Last 4 scores :- 55 (I recall Clarke putting a hard tag on him), 108, 110 + 44.
Geelong at GMHBA (difficult ground for opposition teams with its different shape) round 2:
Neale's average v Geelong - 95. Last 4 scores :- 134, 103, 132 + 94 (he had some poor scores early in career v cats which explains the low overall average). Average from 4 games played he has played at GMHBA is 100.
& Collingwood round 3:
Neale's average v Collingwood - 88. Last 4 scores :- 113, 91,140 + 104.
Bit concerning given his starting price is 721K, plays 3 of his lowest scoring opposition teams to start the season. Sure the stats can be misleading, he is a different player now than a few years ago but still not great past history there.
With the stats @Connoisseur provided on Gawn with his past history v his starting teams, if you can only fit 1 x 700K player in your team to start then I think Gawn looks a safer bet.

Not sure this got mentioned earlier today but Yeo won't be ready to go for the start of the season.
“I don’t think we can put a round on it (for Yeo’s return date) but he’ll be right when he’s right.
Had some decent potential as he averaged 90 last season (more like 85 in 2019 numbers), following seasons of 102, 108, 108
