AFL depends on systems of organisation, you might be better off with a player who knows the system ahead of a player who has individual ability but little knowledge. I suspect this is why Fantasia kept getting a game before the weekend's gold strike.
Perhaps another of our own situations is a similar scenario, Fogarty. I suspect 9 out of 10 would have Motlop ahead on ability and potential, but as a role player Fogarty is such a lock at the moment, so much so it's blokes like Owies, Williams and Fantasia who I think are at greater risk.
