Really comes down to expectations. I think he theoretically can be an M8 but I'd say it's a very long odds bet so then you're looking more at a cash cow. At 95, which he's consistently hit in the past, he'd match the mid tier of rookie production pretty effectively.
He's also got genuine high ceiling scoring ability so absolutely could punch out a 110+ month that drives elite cash generation.
JS is obviously impeccable for a cash cow but the durability aspect, nothing I've read or heard has seemed confident, could well cancel that out very quickly. Positive is he'll have all downgrade paths open if he does go down.
I think he's a sound pick if you think he's going to average 90+ more than likely. Ultimately if there are lots of strong rookies he's probably not needed but in the event we don't have a lot of rookie options I think he's right near the top of alternatives and that there is a genuine case for him regardless.

I favour Stewart simply because I can't trust Horse, wouldn't surprise me at all to see him move Mills back to defence early on in the season.
Stewart has a defined role that isn't changing - he is underpriced due to the injury interrupted game in round 4 where he scored just 18.
10 x 100 or more scores from the other 13 games last season, backing up from a 22 game season in 2019 where he averaged 98.2.
In summary, just a "safer' more "less risk attached" pick for mine than Mills. Mills could be an absolute superstar if he was used properly in a more attacking way however I don't have any confidence in Horse releasing the shackles on him.

I cooled a little on Stewart. Had him all preseason, is there a risk he goes full back if Blicavs is struggling in that role.
Mills most likely to play mids. However, his scores when he had CBA’s was a little mixed. 110 vs Hawks who gave up big scores. Think @wogitalia may have said he feared he was a better scorer at half back, despite good junior numbers.
Both out of my team. Even Williams has question marks from durability.

And I've just read the post over in Injuries & Suspensions that has Neale with a "soft tissue concern" (?) that had him out of competitive work until just recently. Interesting.
