Injuries To Robert Warnock And Mark Nicoski
The Eagles and Dockers could both finish in the Top 4, all their stars are ready to go but injuries have hit players on both teams. The Eagles would have expected big things from Mark Nicoski in 2007 but that will be put on hold as he has another injury to recover from. The Dockers don't need another ruckman with Sandilands there, but Robert Warnock was probably going to play a few games this season as his backup. Warnock injured his foot so his preparation for season 2007 will be affected.
Statement about Nicoski's injury: Nicoski injured in hit-out
News about Warnock: Warnock setback for Dockers
AFL Fantasy Impact:
Nicoski nearly made it into their Grand Final side and will probably force his way into the Eagles team when he recovers from his shoulder problem. Will probably be a good fantasy player at some time during the season, until he is back that will leave an open spot for someone like Priddis or Staker. Priddis won't cost a lot so if he is playing for the Eagles you might want to sign him.
Toe injuries can be serious for big guys so Warnock may not be ready for the opening round. Warnock would only have AFL fantasy value if Sandilands was out of the team. The Dockers will continue with Sandilands in the ruck and Longmuir will take over for him when Sandilands needs a rest.
