Apart from injury,Patrick Ambrose has largely been best 22 for the Bombers since arriving in 2014, though 2019 was the first time he pushed past 18 games in a season. The departure of Michael Hartley adds job security for Ambrose, though fantasy coaches won’t care as his job is exclusively to stop rather than create.
Ambrose reaches 19th hole

Not best shot for Ambrose
Wrist and then hamstring tendon injuries ruined Patrick Ambrose's 2018 campaign, holding down key defensive posts on the opposition's best goalkicker. Ambrose's role is largely to avoid touching the footy unless it's with his knuckles punching it away from his man, so he's not relevant for fantasy.
Ambrose pierced
A quadricep injury meant Patrick Ambrose only played the first five and last five games of Essendon's 2017 campaign. He was smashed by Lance Franklin in September. Ambrose is the first-choice full back for the Bombers now, which will continue to release Cale Hooker to play forward. Otherwise, he is irrelevant for fantasy.
