Depending on what fantasy footy communities you are part of you may already have landed at a decision on the hyphen. Some believe he could be one of the underpriced breakout stars of next year who’ll take the opportunity and be massive for us, while others believe he’ll continue to plod along, and while be serviceable for the Suns he posses little to no fantasy relevance at his new home.
For me i’m more in the later camp on George Horlin-Smith but am very open to being proved wrong. The reason being is that while he’s been a quality person and player at the cats, he’s never really shown fantasy chops, even at VFL level. Over the past 5 years in the VFL he’s never averaged more than 26 disposals a game, and at least in AFLFantasy has never averaged over 100. Since 2012 at the elite level he’s only averaged over 70 once across each format at that was in 2017. As yet, he’s yet to consistently put it all together (from a fantasy perspective) in multiple consecutive games. As I said, i’m open to him changing my mid over the preseason, but at his price point I see great scoring value from some other cheaper midfield options.
