Injury blighted Nick Holman's second season at the Suns, unable to overcome a persistent back injury. The pressure forward produced consistent form throughout 2019, increasing his disposal output while maintaining his scoreboard impact. Holman required off-season surgery to fix the ongoing problem, which has delayed his start to the preseason. An accumulator when played through midfield, Holman is limited by his defensive responsibilities. Expect the Sun to lack fantasy relevance once more.

Nick's in a hole, man
It was a measure of how undermanned Gold Coast were last season that they gave Nick Holman 22 senior games, with only five featuring a disposal count above 15. Tackling is the major feature of his game, ranked just on the top 25 in the league for that stat. For a player most often found at stoppages with a 57% contested rate, just one clearance per game is poor. Holman is the sort of journeyman list clogger whom the Suns hierarchy must be hoping that their kids go past sooner rather than later. The club had six inside the top 50 tacklers last season, which shows that it can be easy to accumulate that stat when you're second to the ball. Hope that you are never so desperate as to have to pick him up off the free agent pool.
