AFL Fantasy Player Notes - McCarthy In The Mix At Collingwood
Maybe they just wanted to use the word Potchefstroom, but there is news out of Potchefstroom that Collingwood's John McCarthy, the 31st overall selection in the recent AFL draft, is impressing the coaches and might be an inclusion in their NAB Cup team. A good game there and he might be on his way to a spot in their round 1 team. Although maybe his form in Potchefstroom won't be continued when he leaves Potchefstroom.

AFL Fantasy Impact:
Two things that fantasy coaches should remember, Collingwood have played a lot of first year players during the past couple of seasons and their drafting has been as good as any team around. So McCarthy, might see some action in 2008.
Collingwood might want to move some regulars from half back into the action in the middle, so a spot could open up in the back line so that might be why Collingwood are experimenting with McCarthy in the back half. He is only a fantasy sleeper at the moment, but he could be someone to remember when selecting a fantasy bench player, especially if he is position eligible as a fantasy defender.

Coach Mick Malthouse declared John McCarthy, a promising midfielder from the Dandenong Stingrays, was right in the mix for selection for Collingwood’s NAB Cup clash with the Crows in Dubai on February 9.
Malthouse said the Magpies were “delighted” with all their draftees and hinted a few might get their chance for some serious ground time against the Crows.
