AFL FANTASY TAKE

Parfitt averaged 68.4pts in 2020, he scored 80pts or more in 16.7% of games with a season high of 94pts in Round 2.

The centre bounce usage for Parfitt was steady in 2020, he was ranked 4th at the Cats in 2020. 

Parfitt turns 23 early in the 2021 H&A season, assuming he is at full health he is likely to increase on his 2020 average next season. 

If the Patrick Dangerfield forward role is at a high level in 2021 then Parfitt could increase his centre bounce usage, keeping up to date with his forecast role in 2021 should be a priority over the pre-season.
