Fantasy Sleeper Search - Melbourne
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.
Travis Johnstone - When a player who was such a big part of a club leaves it really opens up a spot for a new fantasy star, or for a number of players to increase their stats. Johnstone averaged around 20 possessions a game in 2007. Nathan Jones might have a much bigger role now.
Nathan D. Brown - He wasn't that great of a player for Melbourne, as he never had a big influence on the games, but when he played he was usually very effective for fantasy stats. His departure should mean Petterd is played in the back half, and Petterd will bring his A-game to the team and also help fantasy teams.
Byron Pickett - Intimidation and bone-jarring collisions are not fantasy stats. But they entertained the crowds.
Clint Bizzell - Another player who didn't help his team win but helped himself to a lot of fantasy stats. James Frawley could be the player that takes advantage of more playing time with Bizzell out of the team.
Simon Godfrey - Maybe this is the year that Moloney stays healthy, and they might use him in the role that Godfrey had last season.
Daniel Ward - He played a lot of games and had plenty of the ball, his minutes and stats might go to Morton. Cale Morton is a different type of player to Ward, but might be used in a similar spot.

It would probably be a good move for Melbourne to give Morton a big role in his first year, as he has the skills to play in 2008. He could be effective as a loose defender around half back, or played on the wing, and he would bring some extra height if he was in the centre.
