Josh Gibson Injures Hamstring
Kangaroos' backman Josh Gibson was a good news story for the club as he starred in the preseason games but he may not be ready to go for the regular season after injuring a hamstring.
News from the Herald Sun newspaper: Gibson adds to Roos' run of outs
AFL Fantasy Impact:
Gibson had a very good preseason and would have been selected in quite a few fantasy teams as his price was a bit low. When Gibson does return he should be a solid fantasy player. For the one or two rounds that Gibson does miss, it could give players more time in the back line and might allow someone to grab a spot in the team. Archer can play at both ends, and Nathan Thompson suggested he could help the Kangaroos as a forward, but if Archer is in the back line his fantasy numbers can be a lot better. With Gibson out it might cause Laidley to play Archer back, and if Archer is loose around half back it will be good for fantasy points. While he was probably in the team anyway, with Gibson out it will mean someone like Riggio has a bigger role. Riggio is good value for a bench spot on a fantasy roster, he is one of the cheapest players and he did get to double-figures for possessions in a couple of NAB Cup games.
