Goodwin Could Be A Bad Loss For Adelaide
The AFL could fine and/or suspend four players for violating AFL rules concerning gambling. Simon Goodwin, Daniel Ward, David Hale and Keiren Jack are the players the AFL is investigating.
Statement from the AFL: Players named in betting probe
Story from The Age: Four players named in AFL gambling probe
AFL Fantasy Impact:
It's nearly time to choose AFL fantasy sides and Goodwin, Hale and Ward would have been in a lot of teams. But if they are suspended that will change fantasy points for several of their teammates. If Goodwin is out then the Crows have to find someone to replace his many kicks in the middle of the ground. More stats for Thompson, Reilly and Doughty would be expected. For a bargain in fantasy leagues a player like Porplyzia or Douglas might be an option. Hale was supposed to be the Kangaroos' new centre half forward this season, in the unlikely event he is suspended a couple of Kangaroo forwards could see more of the ball. Edwards is a player to watch and Ben Ross is an option too, and there is a also a chance that Hansen could be played forward. Ward consistently gets the ball for Melbourne but the Demons have plenty of options to replace him if that becomes necessary. For fantasy leagues that could mean more time and statistics for Sylvia, Bartram and Brown or the Demons might look to Petterd or Frawley. If Daniher does give one of his draft picks a game, sign them up for fantasy leagues.
