Crows Might Play McLeod And Bock In The Forward Line
Nathan Bock has been played as a forward before, and of course McLeod can kick a bag of goals especially if it is a grand final, but both players could become permanent forwards in 2007.
Story from The Herald-Sun, Crows' forward thinking on McLeod.
AFL Fantasy Impact:
The round 22 game of 2006 for the Crows might be an example of the Crows' forward line for 2007. Welsh, Perrie and Bock were the tall options and all kicked goals. If the Crows don't need Bock in the back half then his fantasy numbers could be better as a forward. But the Crows could be a bit small down back without Bock, and there are other forward options for the Crows like McGregor and Gill, so the NAB Cup might give an idea of where Bock will be played. Hentschel kicked around 40 goals last season, Bock should be able to do that if he is a forward in 2007.
McLeod could see a decline in fantasy statistics if he is played in the forward line. He might score a few more goals but his possessions will be a bit lower. But playing him in the forward line might be an idea the Crows have to keep McLeod healthier throughout the year, so that could mean he plays all 22 games which is what AFL fantasy coaches want. McLeod's fantasy numbers in 2007 could be similar to what Scott Thompson had last year. So still consider signing McLeod but he might have to be at a lower price than last season for you to get value.
