Brad Close used to be the man at Geelong who you wanted with ball in hand looking inside 50 for a pass target, particularly prominent in Geelong's flag run a few years ago. Since then his form has waned along with the team, correlating also with Gryan Miers' rise to fill that goal assist specialist role. He has had a few games this season which brought back visions of his best form, and others where he failed to impress. He is not a talisman in this 22 at this point, more of a wind vane whose form is reliant on those around him. For fantasy use, his scoring is painfully variable.

Close has long journey
Averaging 16 touches and 70 fantasy points in the SANFL while rotating wing and forward, Bradley Close is touted as a natural goalsneak with really quick hands. Simply put, the Glenelg recruit won't be featured in any senior capacity this year, so focus your attention elsewhere.
