Fantasy Sleeper Search - Carlton
The vacancies that have been created, due to trades, retirements and delistings, and the players who may take over the position and have a big fantasy season.
Lance Whitnall - Whitnall's departure will provide a spot for someone to have a big fantasy season in 2008 next to Fevola in the Carlton forward line, and possibly also some time in the back half. Waite and S O'hAilpin were two players who were used at both ends of the field, like Whitnall often was played, and Carlton also have Hartlett and Austin to try in that role too. Hartlett seemed to be more effective when played forward, he is older than Austin and Carlton probably will go to Hartlett before trying Austin again.
Josh J. Kennedy - He played just over half the games, and averaged less than 10 possessions, but for Carlton's future planning there is a big hole without Mr Kennedy there. Hampson and Kreuzer may share time at centre half forward, when they are not in the ruck, while there are a few other candidates for that spot too. Fantasy coaches who correctly guess who Carlton's centre half forward is going to be will get an early edge over other fantasy teams.
Matthew Lappin - They don't really have a dwarfish player who can't kick accurately to take his spot in the team. Maybe Lappin's departure will mean a bigger role for Gibbs, who was often stuck in a back pocket in 2007. Pendlebury was a star in his second season of AFL, maybe Gibbs can replicate that as Gibbs now has the pressure off with the arrival of Judd.
Anthony Koutoufides - The Blues may be able to find another tall midfielder, Shaun Grigg did not do a lot in his first year but might be able to make an impact in 2008 as teams concentrate on stopping other Carlton midfielders. Grigg has the potential to help fantasy teams with possessions, marks and goals.
