Fantasy Analysis of AFL Preseason Draft Picks
There won't be a lot of players from the preseason draft who will help your AFL fantasy teams. Some players will struggle to play a lot of games for their new teams. There are a lot of ruckmen in the preseason picks, and as that position doesn't get enough stats for fantasy you won't want those players either. The best strategy might be to not have any of the following players on your AFL fantasy team for round 1 2007.
Cain Ackland: Carlton ruckmen are usually poor for fantasy numbers, Ackland will be splitting time with McLaren so forget about him for fantasy teams.
Mal Michael: If spoils were a fantasy stat then he would be a solid player, but full backs are not the best option for a fantasy team.
Ben Ross: Could be a player that surprises next season, has the potential to score a few goals and get some possessions too. As he is a new player to AFL his initial cost will be very low in fantasy leagues.
Adam Cockshell: If Tredrea is healthy next season then forget about most of the other big forwards at the Power for fantasy teams.
Josh Thurgood: A courageous player down back but his game doesn't produce fantasy statistics.
Kent Kingsley: He will probably have a few big games, but he will probably have a lot more when it isn't good to have him playing in your fantasy team. But if Richardson is out then Kingsley could produce.
Matthew Clarke: Hitouts are not a stat in most AFL fantasy leagues, so you can't play Clarke.
Chris Bryan: If he spends a lot of time on the ground, as a forward and as a backup ruckman, then he might help. But the best plan is to not play him unless Josh Fraser is out of the Collingwood team.
Cameron Cloke: He may not get many games next season, so don't put him in your fantasy team.
