Hamill Visits The Surgeon Again
If they have frequent operating room points then Aaron Hamill is rich, as he is back having knee surgery. It looks like he will miss some games but hopefully he returns smaller, according to the Saints he slimmed down a bit, and better.
Official news from the Saints: Knee setback for Hamill
AFL Fantasy Impact:
Hamill was supposed to be the secret weapon for fantasy teams this season, he would have been overlooked by many people and his fantasy price would have been low. A healthy Hamill could have picked up plenty of stats as other teams focused on stopping Riewoldt and Gehrig. With his latest injury problem that plan will be put on hold, at least with Hamill, as there could be another Saint who finds more playing time. The Saints have their two big forwards, a bunch of small guys who can play there, but without Hamill there they don’t have the medium-sized option. Watch to see how Coach Lyon addresses this, it might produce a surprise fantasy player. Fiora is as tall as Hamill, although everything else about them is different, but maybe he plays better as a forward. If Maguire is playing then the Saints have the back line under control, maybe Gram, Goddard or a Fisher go forward. But if that happens they could have lower fantasy stats. The Saints might go with three talls, with Gehrig and Riewoldt being joined by Koschitze, Brooks or Allen. Brooks was a top 10 fantasy player last season by per game averages, although as everyone knows he only played in the one regular season game and that was against a depleted Brisbane team.
