2015 seems a long time ago now for Tom Bell. In his last year at Carlton he played all 22 games; in two years at Brisbane he has totalled 20 senior games, and ended last season in the NEAFL with a fracture and dislocation of his ankle after being dropped twice for poor form. Apart from problems getting the ball, disposal efficiency of around 65% is visibly painful. Bell's HFF role was filled by Hugh McCluggage, though the latter is likely to move to the centre as he matures. If you can't get it and can't use it even when you do get it, you're not going to last long in the modern AFL. The club is likely to move past him to get time into younger and better models, so he's best left in the free agent pool of your league.
Mournful toll for Bell
