Port Adelaide’s Injury Worries
The Power were planning for round 1 with the expectation that Warren Tredrea would be unavailable but now Dean Brogan and Peter Burgoyne are also unlikely starters. Brogan has a hamstring problem and Peter Burgoyne a thigh injury.

AFL Fantasy Impact:
With Brogan missing round 1 it should make Lade the best ruckman for fantasy points. Lade is always up near the top of the rankings for fantasy ruckmen, even with Brogan playing, but he will get more playing time now. Peter Burgoyne’s injury will mean David Rodan will continue to play, the former Tiger looks like being a solid fantasy player this season. Even if Brogan and Burgoyne do play in round 1 they won’t be at their best, so wait a few games before adding them to fantasy teams. With Tredrea and Brogan both possibly out for round 1, it could be a good chance for Ryan Willits to play as he can go forward or into the ruck. Willits has a low fantasy price at the moment.
