AFL FANTASY TAKE
Opinion will likely be divided early on the move of Jack Steven to Geelong, as the 2020 pre-season unfolds we will likely get a better indication of his potential & role at the Cats.
Now that Kelly has been traded to the Eagles there is a decent opening in the Cats midfield in 2020, Geelong were ranked 12th averaging 366.1 Disposals in the 2019 H&A season (GMHBA Stadium: 375.1).
Steven averaged 76.0pts from 7 games in 2019, there is genuine upside to that average in 2020.
Steven may be an option based on starting price in classic, a definite selection in draft if he completes a full pre-season.
