Tanner Bruhn is one of the new breed of Geelong midfielders who have had to carry the team in the absence due to injury of Cam Guthrie and Patrick Dangerfield, plus the move of Mitch Duncan to half back. He has had flashes of high-ceiling output for fantasy purposes, such as in the first quarter of the win over Hawthorn, but too many other times his floor has proven to be too low for him to be anything other than a very low-end draft league starter. His numbers in year four are still on the up, and it takes a mid around five years to hit full stride, so potential remains.

Tanner Bruhn has been featured in trade speculation in recent weeks but one wonders if his play merits it. He is a small forward who gets centre rotations at a club blessed with midfield bulls who specialise in extraction, perhaps because he offers speed away from the contest that the stronger men don't provide. Is that a set of traits worth a lot on the open market? He will test it out if media reports are to be believed, but his fantasy value might not be any better at another club who might want him to stay forward. A doubtful piece to own.
