AFL Fantasy Preview: Melbourne Demons
Important Outs:
P Read, S Motlop, A Nicholson
Important Ins:
R Petterd, J Frawley
Injury News:
No significant injuries reported.
Fantasy Stars:
The Demons can help your fantasy team in all spots. Jeff White is one of the best ruckmen for fantasy, that should continue. The Demons don't have a lot of forwards that they play, but that is great for their fantasy stats. Bruce, Davey and Neitz have all been quality players in AFL fantasy. Rivers is a big back who gets fantasy points, Whelan has been another good player for a fantasy defender. The midfield provides plenty of options with McDonald, McLean, Green, Yze, Johnstone, Ward and Bruce can be played there too.
Possible Fantasy Stars:
Jones had a big start to his career, in fantasy last season he was a big steal. He could keep improving.
Bate provided good stats when he played last season, he is useful especially if eligible to play as a fantasy forward.
Some days Robertson seems to be a bit injured, other times he can't be stopped. Not the most consistent fantasy player but can have big games. But his fantasy points average out to be a solid number.
Moloney might be a player to sign this season, could be very cheap compared to his statistics potential when healthy.
Colin Sylvia might find a bigger role this season.
Possible Fantasy Sleeper:
Lynden Dunn. There is a need for another taller forward in the Demons' forward line. Dunn would be capable of providing a marking target around centre half forward.
First Year Players For AFL Fantasy:
The Demons are unlikely to get any help from their draft picks. Petterd might be the best option, he is ready for AFL and could get plenty of the ball as a back pocket. Maybe an injury or two hits the Demons' tall defenders and that could open a spot for James Frawley, he might have the skills to get the ball as well as defending and that is what produces fantasy points. Their other new players are a long way off playing.
