AFL Fantasy Preview: Carlton Blues
Important Outs:
B French, T Sporn, C McGrath, A Deluca, C Chambers, I Prendergast
Important Ins:
B Gibbs, S Grigg, C Ackland, C Cloke, S Hampson, C Benjamin
Injury News:
No injuries reported.
Fantasy Stars:
He might not help his AFL team win but Heath Scotland helps himself to plenty of possessions and last season he was a fantasy star. Nick Stevens plays a similar role to Scotland in the midfield and Lappin and Houlihan do the same thing in the backline. But for 2007 some of these players will be stepping aside for Gibbs, Murphy and other young players, so don't expect Scotland to be as good this season. One player who should always get fantasy stats is Whitnall, he is one of the better key position players in fantasy for disposals. Fevola should continue to kick goals. Young players who could be fantasy stars in 2007 are not only Gibbs and Murphy but also Kade Simpson, Andrew Walker and Adam Bentick.
Possible Fantasy Stars:
He is very old now so Koutoufides won't be the star he has been in the past, but he will still have some good games.
Carrazzo got plenty of the ball last season but there were times when he fell out of favour with the coach.
The ball is often in the Carlton backline so Thornton has fantasy value.
Waite and Kennedy are ready for a bigger role, but in fantasy they won't star unless Fevola is out.
Bower will get a chance to play this season, and if Whitnall is playing forward then Bower might have solid stats in the backline.
Possible Fantasy Sleeper:
Luke Blackwell. He should be playing every game for Carlton in 2007 and his possessions numbers will increase from his solid season in 2006.
First Year Players For AFL Fantasy:
Gibbs should be a star and will be on plenty of fantasy teams. Grigg should also be a player who makes an impact in his first season. There might be a spot in the backline for one of Benjamin or Anderson.
