Koschitzke Injured Again
He has a leg injury but he should be there in round 1. He joins a big list of players there who are a bit injured now but should be ready for round 1. Other Saints that have a minor injury include Riewoldt and Hudghton while other players like Hamill, Maguire and Hayes are coming back from long-term injuries.

AFL Fantasy Impact:
Koschitzke is a big fantasy player, when healthy. This injury will obviously hurt his preparation for the regular season so playing him for round 1 might not be the best strategy. Gardiner is doubtful for round 1 too, so maybe M Clarke is an option for just the first game or two, especially in leagues that give fantasy points for hitouts.

An equivalent of Koschitzke in the NBA might be Camby, he is big and gets hurt a lot, but he can make a difference when he is healthy.
Maybe Koschitzke has gotten his inevitable injury out of the way early and he will play every game, and maybe not. Thanks for your comment.
