Nigel Lappin Back, Leuenberger Close To Playing
Nigel Lappin could play for Brisbane against the Dockers this weekend. He hasn’t played since injuring his leg in round 1. First round pick Matthew Leuenberger is getting close to making his debut for Brisbane. The Lions played Charman and McDonald last round, after dropping Wood, so it won’t be easy for Brisbane to find a spot to play the 4th overall pick in the recent AFL draft.
From The Courier-Mail: Lappin returns, Begley kicks on
From the Brisbane site: Round 6 Injury List
AFL Fantasy Impact:
Lappin started the fantasy season with a cheap price, and cost a similar amount to other bargains like Knights, Winderlich, Fixter and Priddis. The round 1 injury was a setback to Lappin, and AFL fantasy coaches who signed him, but he is still great value. If the Lions name him for this round he might be an option for fantasy teams looking to free up some money, it is possible that Lappin will have the same amount of fantasy points as a much more expensive midfielder. Trading for Lappin could provide the funds to upgrade at another position. For those wanting to take a safe option, and not risk playing Lappin in his first game back, he should still be a player to consider next week.
It is unlikely that Leuenberger provides a large amount of fantasy points when he does play, as the Lions are loaded at his spot. He can kick goals and is a mobile ruckman, so if injury or bad form hit some of their other talls he is a player to watch.
