Fantasy Sleeper Search - St Kilda
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.
Matthew Clarke - His spot as the old ruckman has been handed over to Steven King. Like Clarke last season, King is unlikely to be on many fantasy teams.
Brett Voss - Voss did not seem to be a favourite of their new coach last season, a couple of former Sydney players can now be used in the roles that Voss used to have. Schneider can add another scoring option up forward while Dempster can play as a defender or possibly in the middle.
Andrew Thompson - He only played around half the games in 2007, and had a very small role when he did play, so it doesn't leave a big vacancy in the middle at St Kilda. Maybe Armitage will become a regular player for the Saints, and possibly for fantasy teams.
Barry Brooks - Brooks never did become the third forward for the Saints, or a useful player in the ruck. First round pick Ben McEvoy should help the Saints a lot more than Brooks ever did, but McEvoy might take a while to become a regular player for them. Sam Gilbert was used in several spots, including the forward line, and he can help fantasy teams.
Aaron Hamill - He spent more time at the doctor's office than he did in the St Kilda team. Jones might have more playing time this season. Another option for a secondary forward is Goddard, who will return from injury, but if he plays forward it hurts his fantasy numbers compared to when they play him as a defender.
