Iโ€™ve said it before, but @PAFC are by far the most transparent AFL club. If only the other 17 clubs knew how much fans appreciate that quality, the game would be much better for it.

K. Amon (MID) 86.8 average 1.2% ownership A move from the wing to HB saw Amon average 114.2 (last 5) and 120.7 (last 3) to finish the season. As the Hawks continue giving exposure to the young talent coming through, expect Amon to settle at HB in 2024. #AFLFantasy (1/2)

Suddenly #AFLFantasy defensive rookie stocks are looking reasonably bolstered. Sinn ($268K) is the most likely candidate for D6, after his strong showing in the last intra-club today. Oโ€™Driscoll ($190K) and Dean ($190K) are also likely to be named R1 barring any hiccups.
