DISPOSALS

Marcus Bontempelli (25+)

The restructuring of the Dogs line up means we should see the Bont in a much greater midfield role in 2023. Last year he battled on and off with niggles and spent a number of games being used as a forward due to lack of options up there. This however will change this year and I expect him to go back to his numbers of 2021 which saw him clear this in 20/26 games and in 3/3 vs Melbourne.

Lachie Hunter (20+)

Great price here on Hunter. With the way the Dees use their wings, he’ll be scurrying around on 95% TOG. He looks fitter than ever with those 2022 tuck-shop lady arms gone. Has been clearing this line easily for years and has the extra bit of spice with the revenge game.

Josh Kelly (o27.5)

Looks to be playing as an inside mid this year. When given that opportunity he comfortably posts strong numbers. Had 76% CBAs in the practice match for 36 disposals. When given more than 60% CBAs in 2022 he went 5/6 and 30+ in 4/6. Should be licking his lips against a young Crows midfield that gave up plenty last year.

Karl Amon (u24.5)

This one just feels a bit too high given the circumstances of his new side. Last year the Power had an average of 30 extra disposals per game and a far stronger midfield. We view the Hawks midfield as the weakest in the league which doesn't help Amon who will be playing on the outside and relying on inside grunt. He managed 23 in preseason where disposals are usually easier to come by, should be tough in the real thing.

Dylan Moore (u22.5)

We love Dyl and he had a great run at the end of 2022 with some high midfield minutes. Didn't see any time in there in the pre season and will be parked forward to start the year. Tough line to beat as a high half forward.
