AFL Fantasy Preview: Fremantle Dockers
Important Outs:
G Polak, J Schofield, P Medhurst
Important Ins:
C Tarrant, D Solomon, C Collard, B O'Brien
Injury News:
Byron Schammer (Expected to miss preseason, possibly some regular season games, check the link in story above)
Fantasy Stars:
Pavlich is the player you want on your fantasy team. A couple of tall defenders could also help you win in AFL fantasy, Johnson and Mundy. Both could be eligible for a defensive spot on your team but the Dockers could be giving both players some time in the middle, which means a lot more statistics. Veterans Bell, Black, Josh Carr and Hasleby are other midfield options. Some of them are getting on in years so Brett Peake might be a better option for fantasy teams. Sandilands doesn't have a lot of backup in the ruck there, so he gets plenty of playing time and although his fantasy numbers are solid they would be even better in leagues where hitouts were a statistic that was used. Jeff Farmer is like a lot of forwards in fantasy and he has huge games and others when he doesn't get as many fantasy points.
Possible Fantasy Stars:
Chris Tarrant might be played on a wing, his stats there may be better than if he was a forward.
Longmuir gets some stats but he could be a huge fantasy player if Sandilands or Pavlich were out.
Schammer may have to miss some games but when he is ready to play for Fremantle he is ready for a spot in AFL fantasy teams.
Des Headland can get the ball and kick a goal and if he does more of that his fantasy value would increase.
Possible Fantasy Sleeper:
Ryan Crowley. If Mundy or Johnson are playing in the middle then the ball will be cleared from the back a lot more by Crowley.
First Year Players For AFL Fantasy:
They didn't have a lot of draft picks but selected some useful players. Clayton Collard could play a few games next season and he should get plenty of statistics. Brock O'Brien could get a chance if injuries hit their midfield.
