Crows Unlikely To Play Ricciuto And McGregor In Round 1
There has been plenty of news out of Adelaide about the Crows’ injury problems and it seems confirmed that Ricciuto and McGregor will join the list of players who will be unavailable for round 1. Other injured Crows include Biglands, Hentschel, Meesen, Maric, Hinge, Gill and Campbell.
Injury news for Ricciuto and McGregor from the Crows’ site:
McGregor return delayed
AFL Fantasy Impact:
Ricciuto used to be one of the first players picked for AFL fantasy teams, now injuries have robbed him of the ability to consistently accumulate fantasy points. When he does come back, and has a few games played, he could be a good fantasy forward to sign. While the Crows did announce bad news about Ricciuto there was also a mention of Jason Porplyzia being ready to play, Porplyzia can be played as a forward in some AFL fantasy games so while the Crows use him in the middle of the ground he could take Ricciuto’s place as a forward for fantasy teams. McGregor could have had a much bigger role, and more fantasy points, this season as the Crows have lost a lot of other talls. McGregor will be a player to consider when he does play, especially if any more Crows’ talls are out. With all the injuries at Adelaide it should make Bock and Welsh more effective fantasy forwards, and Burton and Bode should continue to have big fantasy numbers as they are eligible as a forward but spend plenty of time up the ground getting disposals too.
