AFL Fantasy Player Notes - Farren Ray To Miss Round 1
The Bulldogs are one of several teams that had players injured during the weekend games. Although Farren Ray's injury is not as serious as those of Malceski and Hasleby. But it does seem that Ray won't be ready when the Bulldogs play in round 1.
From the Herald Sun: Injury curse strikes early
From the Western Bulldogs site: Softly softly approach for cautious Dogs
AFL Fantasy Impact:
It probably doesn't change a lot there, but maybe it makes Griffen, Higgins or Giansiracusa a slightly better signing. West and Cross will still do a lot of the work in the middle, with Boyd and Cooney also capable of a lot of possessions.
While the Bulldogs did defeat the Kangaroos last weekend, they did not find a big forward to help out Johnson, Murphy and Welsh. There was talk that Minson could play against Essendon. Neither Minson or McDougall are expensive in fantasy leagues, but one of them would have to have a big NAB Cup game before being considered for a fantasy team.
From the Herald Sun: Injury curse strikes early
Western Bulldog Farren Ray is the latest injury casualty. In a big blow, the midfielder is set to miss the start of the home-and-away season.
Ray will miss four to six weeks after suffering a cracked fibula in the club's 11-point NAB Cup win against the Kangaroos on Friday night.

"[Lindsay] Gilbee, [Jarrod] Harbrow and [Farren] Ray won't play, and Ryan Griffen won't play either, because he's got some family involvement in Adelaide," Eade said on Tuesday.
"We'll probably be down to the bare numbers, to be honest. Hopefully Shaun Higgins will be right, Andrew McDougall we're hoping will come back, but he may not get up.
