For Ridley? Yes. He's missed too much footy. The baseline for missing a chunk of games is Gary Ablett in 2014. He played 2/3 of the season and from memory it wasn't until round 20 that he dropped out of the top 10 for disposals.
Freo are a game out of the eight, and he personally lost you one game due to his own stupidity.

Look i dislike Freo as much as the next person, but they are one game out of the top 4.
Why is Jason Horne Francis not in your teams?
Needs more midfielders. 11 wont cut it.
Nice team

Can we talk about Harris Andrews season so far? I'm obviously bias in that I'd like Weitering to finally be rewarded after multiple years of getting snubbed for the final 22 but I feel like Andrews has been far worse than his individual stat lines look this season.
Lions are having a shocking year so far with multiple key forwards dining out on them throughout that. How much accountability does Andrews hold for that or is it more blamed on his teammates and the dysfunction further afield?
Statistically he's probably the best or close to the best performed KPD right now but in years past KPD's have been overlooked due to their overall team's defense and players from stingier teams have been selected... Stewart's practically been gifted 2 jackets simply by playing for Geelong while their team defense has been a strong point.
What are others thoughts?

Few players pushing the team. Houston, Treloar, Holmes, Green, Whitfield, Waterman. Tough team to get into.

Looks like Carlton are the one to watch out for for the flag then

Hell no.
He's a decent defender who pads his stats with kickouts, chip kicks sideways and long bombs to 50/50 contests. There's no creativity or dare with his disposal at all.
The definition of a Supercoach player. Looks great on paper because of Freo's shitty, risk adverse game plan but does little damage to the opposition.

I've watched every Lions game. Andrews has been amazing. He's had his best year in some time IMO. I've watched almost every Giants game too, and I'd currently have him ahead of Sam Taylor too, but those are the 2 clear standouts.
Some of their losses would have been much worse without him. He's close to the only player that played in the Grand Final for them last year that's having a better year this year. Berry, McCarthy (pre-injury) and maybe Zorko and Dainher are the only other players I would say have been noticeably better this year than they were last year. Everyone else has regressed/stagnated or is injured.

Chip chip footy certainly helps make the stats look good.

He stands in the middle of the half back line and has blokes switching the ball from both sides of the field to him just for so he can either chip it sideways or bomb it down the line to a contest, rarely ever actually doing anything of value with the ball. He also trails his opponent by 15m most of the time, is prone to a few absolute howlers per game that result directly in goals and plays in the slowest, most boring system going around which favours defenders who want to rack up meaningless touches while doing absolutely SFA once they've actually got it.
Reminds me a hell of a lot of when Aaron Hall was basically a supercoach seagul god for North and never even made the squad. Selectors knew he was just racking up trash every week padding his stats any way he could.

Can't argue with most of that, but he's miles off elite in defensive one on ones. 1.4 per game which is 73rd in the league on average well behind Pearce (who is having an excellent season and definitely worthy of selection in the squad himself) and even behind Draper as far as Freo go.

Jake Lloyd is another example. I love that he's reinvented himself this season and he's been very consistent for his whole career, but I'm not sure that I've ever believed he was more than a B-grader despite being a Supercoach god at his peak.
