Hansen or Proud would have been considered to be solid signings for a fantasy bench a year ago, although it didn't really work too well when the actual games started. If the Kangaroos can't find a spot this season for an athletic tall who was top 3 in the draft they might have a problem, as would the fantasy teams that have him again this season. Brisbane do have plenty of depth among their smaller players, so it won't be easy for Proud to win a spot but if he does he could be a good producer of fantasy points.
There were a lot of changes at West Coast and that might open up playing time for McNamara. He should be at a low fantasy price. Palmer seems to be one of the best first year players to sign. Fremantle were old and slow in the middle last year, Palmer is young and quick and was their top draft pick so the Dockers will want him in the team.
Maybe there is only enough salary cap left for one of Leuenberger and Maric, although having both should mean the ruck spot is under control for the entire season. Maric seems to have the lead in the race to be Adelaide's number 1 ruckman, although there are two or three others that Adelaide will consider. At Brisbane, there is Charman and Leuenberger, and that is all in the ruck. Even splitting minutes with Charman, Leuenberger is going to be well worth his fantasy price. If Charman missed games during the season, Leuenberger would be huge for stats.
Once again, until the official prices are released, there may not be enough money left for the two players listed on the forwards bench. Hawkins should be who Geelong pick at full forward, without N Ablett there it is expected that Hawkins will bring in plenty of goals and marks. Corrie has been injured, delisted and then rookie-listed and promoted back to the senior list by Brisbane, and he also showed late last season that he can get the ball when they play him. If he is cheap he will be a good player for the bench, but if his price is higher than expected a better alternative for this spot could be Sellar or Leigh Harding, if Harding is eligible as a forward like has was in previous seasons.

Having Petterd on a fantasy team is a good idea, but for his expected price it will be too much to have him on the bench, but he is worth starting. Assuming he is in the back line at Melbourne, and also a defender in fantasy leagues. Melbourne last season pushed him forward a few times and that wasn't the best for Melbourne or for Petterd's stats.
This might change when the fantasy games do open, and the prices are officially there, but it seems that Petterd will be at an affordable price. Also, among the players expected to be higher priced defenders than he is, there are a lot that don't have the potential for stats that Petterd does.
