AFL Fantasy Preview: Port Adelaide Power
Important Outs:
S Dew, G Wanganeen, J Francou, A Kingsley, P Walsh, M Bishop
Important Ins:
T Boak, D Rodan
Injury News:
W Tredrea (knee, may miss early rounds)
Fantasy Stars:
If you have someone called Cornes on your fantasy team then you will have a very good team. Kane actually had a slightly better fantasy value than his brother last season, although both are among the top fantasy players. A couple of Burgoynes are also useful for AFL fantasy teams, Shaun might be the better of the two. There is also ruck help from the Power, Lade is a fantasy superstar and Brogan isn't far behind him either. So if one of them is out injured make sure you sign the other. Pearce and Salopek get plenty of the ball and are still capable of more improvement. Lonie, Symes and Cassisi consistently get stats, and there will be even more opportunities with players like Dew, Walsh and Wanganeen gone now.
Possible Fantasy Stars:
Tredrea isn't an elite fantasy forward now, so don't pay too much for him. He may not be ready to go early in the season.
Bentley and Logan were promoted from the rookie list and both could have good AFL fantasy seasons.
Chaplin is a very useful player for fantasy stats for a tall backman.
Josh Mahoney is underrated in fantasy, and give more consideration to playing him if the Power are without Tredrea.
Brett Ebert was a big improver last season, but that may have pushed up his price too high this season.
Possible Fantasy Sleeper:
Jacob Surjan. He had a big season last year so he won't be a bargain, but there is a good chance that he is even better this season and will be worth the much higher price.
First Year Players For AFL Fantasy:
Travis Boak should play in 2007, put him on your bench when the Power name him to play. Small forwards Gray and Krakouer have a lot of competition among the other forwards there so don't expect them to play, but if they do play in 2007 they might be able to score some goals. Stewart, Westhoff, Williams and Cockshell may not see senior action until the last few rounds of the 2007 season.
