Sadly for Blues fans and keeper league coaches, Sam Petrevski-Seton couldn’t fulfil his potential at Carlton. So, could a change of clubs bring the spark back to his fantasy output?

Impact on New Club
The Eagles have gone ‘all in’ on the now of their football list. At the same time, Geelong is widely regarded as the ‘old folks home’; the Eagles are not that far behind them, with the majority of their core into the back portion of their careers.Ever since the premiership of 2018, the Eagles have been relatively disappointing. However, one of the unheralded successes in that season was the defensive run and carry of Lewis Jetta.
Unfortunately, since his retirement, West Coast hasn’t replaced him, and the addition of Sam Petrevski-Seton could cover the list gap.Sam has said on numerous occasions that he’d like to play more as a half-forward that pushes into the midfield. However, I don’t see that role with a forward line filled with talls and the small role covered with Liam Ryan and Jamie Cripps.For ‘SPP’ to be a best 22 regular, he’ll need to be comfortable with a rebounding defensive role. Otherwise, he’ll need injuries to crack into the team.
Impact on Old Club
Beyond the public acknowledgement that selecting him in the early part of the draft is another bust for the Blues recruiting team. But in reality, there’s not much they’ll miss.The blues are stocked with solid running backs with Adam Saad and Zac Williams. The ‘X Factor’ and class midfield/forward role is filled with Jack Martin. And finally, with the addition of Adam Cerra into the midfield mix, there’s just no room for Sam Petrevski-Seton.
Fantasy Summary
Over Sam Petrevski-Seton’s career at Carlton, he’s been used positionally right across the board. As a result, his fantasy output has been quite the rollercoaster ride. In 2019 he had arguably his most regular season where he played as a high half-forward. That season he averaged 78 in AFLFantasy and 82 in SuperCoach.From 22 games, he had 14 scores of 80+ including an AFLFantasy ton. While in SuperCoach, he had just ten scores 80+ but did manage to convert five of those into triple digits.
With him heading to West Coast, a heavy kick/mark team, there is a world where SPP is fantasy relevant player, especially in the draft and daily fantasy formats of the season. It’s a late round pick at best, but he’s certainly worth keeping an eye on.
