AFL Fantasy SuperCoach Team Preview: The Rucks
There is just over a month to go before the SuperCoach AFL fantasy competition is to begin. Using the statistics, estimated values and the rules of SuperCoach a preview of a possible fantasy lineup will be posted.
A possible starting ruck group.
Dean Cox: Covers the ground and gets statistics everywhere, that separates him from other fantasy ruckmen. He doesn't have a big challenge when it comes to minutes, Seaby just gives Cox a couple of minutes rest every quarter, so Cox should continue to be a great fantasy player.
David Hille: Maybe he has a changed role, as Sheedy could give Laycock or even Gumbleton some time in the ruck, but the more likely idea is Sheedy goes with his veterans and that means Hille plays as much as he wants. Hille is an above average ruckmen for fantasy AFL. Hille can also get forward and with a few goals as well as other stats his fantasy numbers add up.
Robert Campbell: Logic says he should be even better in 2007, he isn't sharing time with Everitt and now with Max Bailey out for the year there has to be a huge amount of playing time for Campbell. If he is at a similar price to last season then he is a bargain.
Drew Petrie: Will be a steal if you can play him in the ruck for fantasy but he is spending most of his time floating around half back for the Kangaroos. But if he is at full back, with Hansen at centre half back, then Petrie won't be as good. What they do with Watt and Brown could influence where Petrie is played. But when the official positions for AFL fantasy are announced then maybe Petrie is no longer a ruckman, so maybe a player like Fraser or White would be another option.
