AFL FANTASY TAKE
DeGoey has been a consistent performer in fantasy for the last 3 years without hitting premium scores, with the Magpies using him predominately as a Forward the scoring will likely track at the same rate in 2019.
Collingwood have a stacked midfield, it’s unlikely DeGoey can penetrate that core group which would increase his scoring output.
