Read elsewhere that Lawson Humphries (Geelong D/M $117.3) is viewed as someone who may get games. Looking for a cheap D/M. Any other intel on him?
He’s been pretty good this season averaging 84 Fantasy, 22 touches and 5 marks a game. He had 16 touches and 4 tackles on the weekend.
With Geelong it’s hard to see him getting a decent run, I’d say it will be exactly like O’Sullivan where he has come in to play 1 game, played decent enough but was straight back out.
McKercher definitely on my watch list
