AFL Fantasy Player Notes - Staker In The Middle At West Coast
The Eagles lost a lot of their midfield power during the offseason, but they still have plenty of capable players to fill their onball group. Staker was used occasionally as a ruckman early in 2007 when Dean Cox was out, this time Staker could be in the midfield with Cox directing the ball to him.

AFL Fantasy Impact:
At various times during his career, Staker has put together a few weeks of great fantasy stats but then been injured, dropped by West Coast or played in a different spot for lower stats. If he can secure a permanent spot in the Eagles' midfield it will help his fantasy points.
McNamara showed potential last season. He would be a good player to have on a fantasy bench. Hurn has the skills, if he gets a role in the middle he could become a star fantasy player.

“We’ll wait and see whether Stenglein’s fit as well – he probably won’t play,” he said. “So it’s a great opportunity. Jamie McNamara, Matt Priddis, David Wirrpanda, Brent Staker, Will Schofield, Shannon Hurn – there’s a lot of different guys that we will potentially have a look at through there.”
In close to 100 matches for the club, Staker hasn’t laid claim to a permanent position, but Worsfold said his ability to pinch-hit for the side was very valuable.
