ROOKIEBIBLEVerdict
— HOLD

Stewart posted 84 in Geelong's 54-point blowout of Collingwood — a respectable DEF score when there's no defensive work to do and the margin is settled by quarter time. He cleared his 63 BE and his R10 performance was described as his best in recent memory, dominating with multiple intercept marks early against Brisbane. There was post-game talk about a hamstring but he denied it himself, and his body language on the clip supported that. At $431.5k averaging 79 he is the premium DEF doing exactly what you paid for. Hold with conviction.

Recent intel

Vest Risk· T3

Thomas Stewart flagged as managed and rollercoaster SC ownership; his role has been taken by Max Holmes at times this season, adding selection and scoring risk in the backline.

Injury Watch· T3

Post-game concern that Tom Stewart may have hurt his hamstring in the final 20 seconds vs Brisbane R10. Stewart himself denied the injury in post-match interview, reducing concern significantly.

Breakout Signal· T3

Tom Stewart was dominant vs Brisbane (R10), described as his best performance in recent memory. Set up the game early with multiple intercept marks. Community concern after game re possible hamstring, but Stewart post-game denied injury.

Community Intel· T3

Thomas Stewart under trade pressure at R09 with a BE of 124 and projected further price drop of ~20k. Community split between holding and cutting losses, with replacement options being Roberts or Callaghan.

Community Intel· T3

Tom Stewart hold-or-sell question with Holmes moving back to defence is dividing the community. Comments lean toward holding: two commenters note Stewart's recent low scores are attributable to Geelong winning big against weak opponents (combined 84 i50 over two weeks), not role loss, and he remains prone to 150-point ceiling games.

Role Change· T3

Thomas Stewart's SuperCoach scoring has been hurt by Holmes moving to defence, reducing intercept opportunities. Community consensus is that if the Holmes role holds, Stewart's output could be structurally reduced for the remainder of the season.

Role Change· T3

Community discussing whether Thomas Stewart has lost scoring potential with Max Holmes stationed down back. OP believes Holmes down back is long-term but commenters strongly disagree — likely a one-off experiment while Holmes rests a finger injury.

Community Intel· T3

Stewart mentioned alongside Sicily as veteran options worth considering in a thin upgrade market.
