Laidley To Choose New Roos
When the round 1 teams are officially announced there better be plenty of room for the “new players” listing under the Kangaroos lineup. Hansen, Riggio, Thomas, Campbell and Edwards all played well in the NAB Cup, and added needed ingredients to the Kangaroos, and they could all debut against Collingwood. Hansen was a versatile tall who kicked goals in some preseason games and also played as a defender in a practice match. Riggio was a reliable defender and Edwards, a former West Coast Eagle, provided another forward target. The Kangaroos need excitement, and goals, and youngsters Thomas and Campbell can provide that.
From The Age newspaper: Roos to pick four new faces
AFL Fantasy Impact:
Hansen was always going to be a good pick for fantasy teams, even before injuries opened up the prospect of more playing time. Riggio didn’t have any huge games in the preseason, but he was consistent for stats. Edwards with his 100 VFL goals in 2006 is a player to pick for fantasy teams. Campbell kicked a goal or two per game in the SANFL, and kicked 4 goals in one game, and he could have similar numbers in the AFL. Players like Campbell and Thomas should work very well crumbing around big Hale. Lindsay Thomas could combine goals as well as some possessions from bursts in the middle and he could be one of the best first year players for fantasy points. All these players have a very low fantasy price and are worth having on your fantasy team.
