Bevo's stats look awesome until you get to the FA column 24 against - that being said playing in the backline compared to the forward line usually can result in that happening

The coverage starts of Fox Footy @ 12.30pm

Jared Rivers has played all year at CHB but his FA column is a lot healthier than Bevo's. However, Bevo has a ferocious attack on the ball, and his inexperience has proved to be a bit reckless at times this year. If he can get that under control, opposition players may wish to avoid a contest with him in the future like they do with BBBH.

The prob that Bevo has to contest with against the other short-listed players is when he played Melb he didn't have a great an impact on the games as the others did - and that his 2nd half of the year wasn't as strong as the first in disposals - which will be taken into account, but as they say numbers can look deceiving.

(Prime eg: Carlton R14 - only 10 disposals but his impact on that game was v. high)

With Schneiderman getting top 5 last year and Bevo getting top 5 this year, we're not doing too badly at recruiting youth. If we can get top-5 players every year without top-5 draft picks, we're doing very well.
