Craig HillAFL Fantasy Preview: Collingwood Magpies
January 16th 2007 12:35
Important Outs:
C Tarrant, B Caracella, C Cloke, J Cloke, C Morrison
Important Ins:
C Bryan, B Reid, N Brown, P Medhurst
Injury News:
A Didak (expected to miss a few regular season games)
Fantasy Stars:
There will be the veterans to choose with Buckley, Burns and Licuria or you can take the younger players like Heath Shaw, Swan and Johnson. O'Bree is another midfield player to consider and from round 7 you can also select Holland. Tarrant's departure and Didak's injury will mean more statistics for other Magpies up forward. Rocca, Rusling and Thomas should have solid AFL fantasy seasons, Rusling might be the cheapest in fantasy to buy but his potential could be as good as the other Magpies forwards. Lockyer and Lonie will continue to get stats and fantasy points, and Clement is another defender to sign. Josh Fraser is one of the best fantasy ruckmen and this should continue. Didak should also be someone added to fantasy teams later in the season.
Possible Fantasy Stars:
Chris Egan might be a player that is tried up forward with Tarrant out.
Medhurst will be competing with players like Leon Davis for a small forward/midfield role, if he is going to play a lot then it will most likely be as a forward..
Rhyce Shaw isn't the most consistent player but he has been useful for fantasy teams before.
Chris Bryan will be a cheap option for your bench and his value could go up if Rocca or Fraser are out, and they do have a small concern for Fraser and his knees.
Maxwell will be a solid contributor but he might increase his stats if he is played in a bigger role.
Possible Fantasy Sleeper:
Scott Pendlebury. He is the type of player who can play anywhere on the ground so he should get plenty of playing time for Collingwood in his second season. If he is mainly in the midfield then his stats will be higher than they would be if he was played as a forward. Check the preseason games to see what role they are using him in, but wherever he is played he should do enough for fantasy as the price to add him to your team won't be very high in fantasy leagues.
First Year Players For AFL Fantasy:
Chris Dawes is already out for the season so don't sign him for AFL fantasy. First round picks Reid and Brown will probably make their debut in 2007, if you do want to sign one of them then Brown might be the player who is more ready for AFL. But injuries to the Magpies talls will affect whether Brown or Reid get a lot of playing time.
