Roberts averaging 84 is one of those picks you either pay for or spend all season watching from the outside wishing you had.
The Numbers
83.7 SuperCoach average — 24.5 disposals, 5.3 marks per game. At 20, still in his prime. Consistent output across multiple scoring sources.
Role & Opportunity
Essendon Bombers build their game plan around Roberts, and nothing we’re hearing from preseason suggests that changes. At $420,300, there’s an argument he’s underpriced for his output.
From what we’ve seen at training, Roberts looks sharp. Leaner and quicker than last year.
SuperCoach Verdict
Consider — talent is there, price needs justifying. At $420,300, you need him to hold his average to justify the spend.
Betting Angle
Roberts’s disposal line will sit around 24.5 — worth tracking early rounds when the market is still settling.
