Grant Birchall has been a great player for a long time, though the first part of his career at Brisbane was hallmarked by injury. He has now got continuity back into his footy, and is the plan B for rebounding for the Lions when teammates can't get the footy in the hands of Daniel Rich. In this role he is more capable these days of the odd kick clanger than when he was at Hawthorn, in an age of footy where there is more pressure on the ballcarrier. As a fantasy asset he is of rare daily fantasy use only, if you can pick the rare day when he gets lots of possession.
