Jason Roe Is A Go For Lions
Last season the Lions discovered an exciting defender when they debuted Jason Roe. He could play on all types of players and provided a lot of run from the back. He missed the end of the season with a knee injury and it was uncertain as to whether he would be ready for round 1, but Brisbane have included Roe in their squad to play the Bulldogs.

AFL Fantasy Impact:
Roe was one of the best fantasy players last season for not only statistics but also value. He started at the lowest price in fantasy leagues but would quickly rise in value after every round he played. He would finish among the top 5 players on his team for average statistics, and if he is healthy it would be expected that he repeats that in 2007. If the Lions use Merrett and Brennan in their key defensive spots they can play Roe as a third tall defender or as a loose player in the back line. That should give Roe plenty of freedom to run around collecting statistics and he should continue to be one of the top 100 fantasy players in the AFL. Last season Roe had a better fantasy points per game average than Petrie, Rivers, Clement, Mundy and Barry. You will have to pay 4 or 5 times the amount it cost last season to sign Roe for fantasy teams but he could still be worth it as long as he is recovered from his injury.
