Michael Frederick has always had the ability to sprint, making him a dangerous half forward flanker. His problem for fantasy purposes has always been consistency of output, as his running is not always to the right spots to receive the ball. The last couple of weeks has seen him perform a few plays which shows that a light may have gone on for him with his positioning, getting involved not just in the front half but also in the back half to use his endurance to become useful multiple times in a possession chain. He is a watch for fantasy, as his ceiling is rather high.

Don't buy late-model Minairo
A South Australian native renowned for his pace and wing play, Minairo Frederick is an effective user on both sides of his body. His standout performance came for Woodville West Torrens in a SANFL U18 semi-final with 21 touches and three goals. Frederick may have to bide his time in the WAFL, with a long line of more senior outside runners lining up to run the wings at Perth Oval for the purple horde. Expect little fantasy relevance in his debut campaign.
